Halo Esports reveals HCS Meltdown team bundles

The Halo Championship Series (HCS) has unveiled the Meltdown collection featuring team bundles themed after the 2025 partnered organisations.

Seven weapon coatings will be available, alongside the Promethean Heatwave model, for Halo Infinite starting September 23rd, 2025.

These are all of the teams that are included in the HCS Meltdown collection:

According to the official trailer, the Promethean cosmetic model for the Heatwave weapon will be awarded to players with the first purchase of an HCS Meltdown skin. The skins themed after the partnered teams can also be applied to any weapon in the game.

As of writing, prices have yet to be revealed, though it is likely to fall in line with previous HCS bundles, which were worth between 1,300 (~$12.99/£10.39) and 1,500 (~$14.99/£11.99) credits.

It is not the first time HCS has crossed over into Halo Infinite in 2025. The HCS launch bundle was introduced earlier this year with the REAP-X model for the Shock Rifle and included seven multi-weapon use coatings themed after competitive teams.

The HCS Meltdown collection arrives at a crucial point for the Halo esports scene, as the competition ramps up ahead of the Halo World Championship later this year.

The Charlotte Major is scheduled to begin on October 3rd in North Carolina, US. It will see the top 16 teams from the regional qualifiers and open brackets compete for the lion’s share of a $250,000 (~£185,000) prize pool.

The top eight teams from the tournament will also qualify for the World Championship in Seattle, Washington. The international event will see 16 teams from both the major and global HCS rankings go head-to-head for a $1m (~£740,000) prize pool. It will begin on October 24th to 26th, 2025.

Earlier this year, the HCS announced it would be retiring Halo Infinite from official competition at the end of the year. As a result, the Halo World Championship will be the last HCS-sanctioned event featuring the shooter title.
