Valor is an important mechanic in the Halo Infinite campaign that allows you to unlock better weapons, vehicles, and allies at your Forward Operating Bases, or FOBs. In this part of IGN's Halo Infinite Wiki, you'll learn how to earn Valor, which objectives give the
most Valor, and a list of FOB unlocks. advertisement The easiest way to earn Valor in Halo Infinite's campaign is simply by completing the main campaign missions. Many, but not all, of the campaign missions will give you 350 Valor upon completion, making the main story a solid way to boost the resources
available at your FOBs. However, when the campaign difficulty ramps up in the second half of the game, you'll probably want more options at your FOBs. That's where the bevy of sidequests comes in. Zeta Halo's open map has tons of side objectives for the Master Chief to complete in between the main campaign missions, which each earn you a different amount of Valor. When looking at a specific objective on the Tacmap, you can see how much Valor it rewards by looking at the number underneath the star-shaped symbol in the mission description. FOBs and Target missions don't earn you Valor. The reward for a FOB is another fast travel location as well as icons revealed on your map, while taking out high-value targets will usually net you a powerful weapon. advertisement The point of Valor is to get better equipment you can summon anytime at a FOB. This is a list of Valor unlocks as seen in the FOB menu of Halo Infinite. How to Get Valor in Halo Infinite

What is Valor in Halo Infinite?

5 Best Ways to earn Valor in Halo Infinite efficiently
Halo infinite rewards Valor for some activities, but not all of them. Hovering your cursor over a mission or side-activity on your map will show you how much Valor you’ll get from it and how much you’ll lose. You can earn Valor in Halo Infinite’s campaign in the following ways:
Complete Story Missions
Players will definitely earn valor just by playing through the story missions as these main missions will reward the most points per completion. Despite this, just completing the main missions won’t be enough, plus the fact that they take a while to complete means that they’re not the most efficient source of valor, if time is considered.
Capture FOBs
Before proceeding, it’s best to note that the act of capturing a forward operating base, or FOB for short, does not award valor points, however it remains as a crucial part in making your valor farming faster and easier.
Once an FOB has been captured, it will mark nearby points of interest in the vicinity such as Banished outposts and UNSC squads, and thus allowing you to plot a route before hand. Plus, FOBs will act as fast travel hubs and places where you can acquire the stuff that you’ve unlocked with valor so far. Definitely do not skip FOBs.
Clear Banished Outposts
Banished Outposts are huge base camps filled with Banished troops. Clearing out these outposts will give a hefty sum of valor (100 valor). Due to the volume of hostiles that you will encounter in these outposts, it’s best that you are full geared up or adopt a tactical approach. It’s best to put these on a lower part of your valor run itinerary unless you feel like you can take them on easily.
Rescue UNSC Squads
Scattered across Zeta Halo are UNSC marines that are either captured as hostage or locked in a firefight against the Banished. Freeing them from their shackles or helping them diffuse the firefight will count as rescuing them, which rewards you some amount of valor (30 valor).
There are around 20 squads that you can help across the map and most of them are only guarded by a small number of Banished troops, so clearing them out should be quick, making rescuing squads one of the fastest ways to earn valor.
Destroy Propaganda Towers
Propaganda towers are structures that you can destroy which can also reward valor. There are around 40 of these towers all across the map, however they do not show up in the in-game TacMap and often you just stumble upon them.
These towers can sometimes be guarded by enemies, but oftentimes they’re not and they just take a couple of whacks before they blow up. Destroying towers doesn’t really reward that much valor points (10 valor), but still a source nonetheless. Consider using a third-party map if you really want to search and destroy these towers easily.

Valor is a side mechanic and you can still finish the main story without focusing on it so much, however it’s still a fun progression system to spend some time on, more so if you want to unlock the stronger modified gun variants. Do remember to check the stuff that you unlock often, especially once you unlock the vehicles which should help you get to your next points faster.
