Learn how to capture FOB Alpha in Halo Infinite. This guide covers defeating Banished forces, using long-range weapons, and securing the area for UNSC control.

Alright, so you're ready to tackle FOB Alpha in Halo Infinite. This is a pretty standard Forward Operating Base capture, but it's good to know what you're getting into. These bases are super important – they act as fast travel points, give you backup from UNSC Marines when you're fighting, and unlock vehicle and weapon drops. Plus, the more Valor you earn, the better stuff you get at all your captured FOBs. Your main goal here is to defeat the Banished forces and then interact with their control terminal to claim it for yourself.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to have started the main mission called 'Excavation Site.' Once that's going, make your way northwest from where the Excavation Site mission starts. You'll find FOB Alpha, which is one of the Banished Outposts.
  2. 2
    Your primary objective is to clear out all the Banished enemies in the area. Expect to see Grunts, Brutes, and Jackals.
  3. 3
    Here's a pro-tip: you don't have to rush in headfirst. Find a good spot behind a rock near the entrance of FOB Alpha. From there, you can use a long-range weapon like the Skewer or the BR75 to pick off the enemies one by one. This keeps you safe and makes the fight much more manageable.
  4. 4
    Once you've eliminated every last Banished soldier, head over to the control panel. Interact with it to officially capture FOB Alpha.
  5. 5
    After capturing the FOB, look around for a UNSC Audio Log. It's usually leaning up against a container on the platform. Grab it to complete this part of the objective.
Tips
  • Using a long-range weapon from a safe distance is key to minimizing your own damage.
  • Make sure you've cleared *all* enemies before trying to interact with the terminal, otherwise, it won't let you capture the FOB.
  • Don't forget to grab that UNSC Audio Log after capturing the base!

Capturing FOB Alpha provides a fast travel point, UNSC Marine support, and access to vehicle and weapon drops. You'll also gain Valor, which unlocks more resources at all your captured FOBs.
