How to earn Valor in Halo Infinite

The campaign in Halo Infinite tasks you with capturing bases and helping out the UNSC forces in the battle against The Banished. Valor points are then awarded to you and represent the progress you’ve made in these activities.

You’ll be able to earn Valor by just playing through the game or by finishing missions on your Tac Map. These include capturing Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) after killing tons of enemies to kill or completing objectives.

These can be found marked by a red diamond on the map until you capture them. They will then change to a blue circle with the UNSC logo. You can also earn Valor by rescuing troops, assassinating targets, and progressing through the campaign.
