Need help with the Harpoon Squad distress call in Halo Infinite? Follow our guide to find the squad and defeat the Banished reinforcements.

Alright, so you've kicked off the 'Excavation Site' mission in Halo Infinite, and now you're ready to tackle some of those distress calls. This one's for the Harpoon Squad, and they're in a bit of a pickle. You'll find them on the second island, specifically southeast of FOB Charlie.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you get to the Harpoon Squad's location, you'll see they're tied up and surrounded by a nasty mix of Jackals, Grunts, and Brutes. Your first move? Find a good vantage point. Head up to the hill overlooking the area.
  2. 2
    From the hill, start picking off the enemies. Your goal here is to thin their numbers significantly, leaving just a few stragglers.
  3. 3
    Once you've dealt with most of them from afar, drop down from the hill.
  4. 4
    Move in and finish off the remaining enemies.
  5. 5
    Warning: As soon as you take out the first wave, expect reinforcements! Several pods will drop in. Quickly get back onto that hill! Fighting them out in the open after they arrive is a recipe for disaster.
  6. 6
    Deal with the reinforcement wave from the safety of the hill again.
Tips
  • Using the hill is key for both waves of enemies. It gives you a much better chance to survive and clear them out efficiently.
  • Don't rush in after clearing the first group. Those reinforcements drop fast, and you don't want to be caught in the open when they arrive.
