Epic Games has seemingly found a way to bridge the console exclusive gap that companies like Microsoft and Sony like to rely on. Fortnite has been a crossover king, bringing all sorts of franchises and IPs into the popular battle royale, covering everything from Marvel and DC superheroes, to TV shows, movies, and more. Video games are also covered plenty as well, even making first party exclusives like Kratos from God of War and Master Chief from Halo available on rival platforms through the game.
This strategy has worked wonders for Epic Games and the continued popularity of Fortnite. Following Epic's acquisitions of Psyonix and Mediatonic, Epic Games has made sweeping changes to titles like Fall Guys and Rocket League. Primarily making them free to play, both games have also seen plenty of crossover events and content, similar to Fortnite. Although Fall Guys has just recently gone free to play, its latest major crossover sees Microsoft's Halo franchise making content available across all platforms.
Regardless of which platform Fall Guys players are on, they can both earn and purchase Halo specific skins and content to decorate their bean character in, including the iconic Master Chief. Here's how players can score some Mjolnir armor inside of Fall Guys.
In-Game Rewards
While there are options to outright purchase Halo content in Fall Guys (more on that below), players do have a way to earn a unique reward simply by playing. Through the July 4 weekend, Fall Guys players will have access to a special showcase called Spartan Showdown, which can be queued from the Show Selector screen. Inside of this mode, players can take part in 10 challenges, each with their own rewards from currency like Kudos, banner customization options, AI Construct skin, and the ultimate reward, a special Spartan helmet.
Each challenge gives players 100 points, which goes towards a reward meter at the top. New Rewards are unlocked at 100, 200, 500, 700, and the final reward when all 10 challenges are complete.
- Play Spartan Showdown once.
- Qualify from any round in Spartan Showdown seven time.
- Throw seven Blast Balls in Spartan Showdown.
- Get knocked down by Blast Balls seven times in Spartan Showdown.
- Reach the final round in Spartan Showdown once.
- Collect the Lost Helmet in Dizzying Heights in Spartan Showdown. (Middle section, center of the middle platform in the upper section)
- Collect the Lost Helmet in Tip Toe in Spartan Showdown. (below the middle two platforms in the first row)
- Collect the Lost Helmet in Gate Crash in Spartan Showdown. (Near the end, jump towards the middle door)
- Collect the Lost Helmet in Big Shots in Spartan Showdown. (above the middle of the seesaw)
- Collect the Lost Helmet in Thin Ice in Spartan Showdown. (center of the platforms once the right hexagon has been found and the one on the top level has disappeared)
The reward for finishing all 10 objectives is the Purrfect Helmet costume, which is a pink Master Chief helmet adorned with cat ears.
In-Game Store
Alternatively, for those who want cosmetic a little closer to the actual thing, players can spend a bit of premium currency known as Show Bucks inside the Fall Guys store. These can be purchased in various bundles, though Fall Guys' switch to Free to Play means that players can find them as a reward in the Season 1 Battle Pass as well.
The start of the Spartan Showdown event brought with it a ton of in-store Halo items including three cosmetic skins that include the full Master Chief armor set, Brute Chieftain, and a Covenant Grunt. Each one has its own Show Bucks price with Master Chief going for the most at 1200, while the Brute is 800, and the Grunt is 400. However, there is a bundle option available where Fall Guys players can grab all three skins for 2,400 Show Bucks, or about $20 USD. As a bonus, the bundle also comes with the Grunt Panic emote, which sells for 400 Show Bucks on its own.
Fall Guys is available as a free-to-play game on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
