At this time, Halo Infinite’s multiplayer is available for everyone to enjoy for free. It is an excellent method to get your Halo fix before the full game releases on December 8th. The players are able to jump into the multiplayer for the classic Halo experience and fight opponents in iconic modes like Oddball and Slayer.
Also, the players are able to purchase the battle pass and grind their way through 100 levels to obtain exclusive premium content. However, the only way to level up your battle pass is by completing specific challenges. One of the harder weekly challenges in Halo Infinite is the “Throwing Shade” challenge which requires the players to kill enemy Spartans with a Shade Turret in PvP.

Where to Find a Shade Turret?
Currently, Shade Turret is only available on one map: Deadlock. This map features two Shade Turrets near spawn points. The players are able to identify the Shade Turrets by their reddish exterior and elevated positions.
The players have to use one of these Shade Turrets to kill an opponent in an online game to complete the challenge. As a player, you have to wait for Deadlock to appear when you queue for a match and sit in the Shade Turret until an opponent crosses your path. The good news is that the Shade Turrets will be able to give significant damage. Thus, killing an opponent should not be too difficult.
We think that patience is a key for this challenge. Eventually, Deadlock will appear, and you are going to have an opportunity to kill an opponent Spartan with a Shade Turret. Please consider to eliminate a few opponents before entering the shade turret to avoid being a sitting duck.

Other Vehicles in Halo Infinite
In addition, here we will also share other vehicles in Halo Infinite.
Here are some other vehicles in Halo Infinite:
-
- Rockethog
Rockethog makes its return in Halo Infinite. With a little precision, then you are able to bring down the opponents very quickly. - Scorpion
Scorpion is the iconic Halo tank. It has some dozen tons of armor and a heavy cannon. Thus, it is capable of surviving rocket hits and changing anything lighter than another tank into melted slag. For clear reasons, usually it is only available in Big Team Battle modes on larger maps. - Warthog
Probably, Warthog is the most iconic vehicle in all of the Halo franchise. This is a lightly armored vehicle with a machine gun and passenger seat. It is very good for scouting, stealing a flag from the opponent, taking on infantry, or mowing down the Grunts. It does not excel at any particular task, however it is solid enough at everything, making it a good option for practically anything. - Mongoose
Another staple of the Halo franchise, the Mongoose vehicle makes its return in Halo Infinite. It is as squishy as, but it is going to get you places quickly.
- Rockethog
