Skulls have always been a staple in the Halo series, providing players the opportunity to alter their gaming experience as they progress through a chapter in the Master Chief’s epic adventure. However, these items are not activated automatically when you find them. Instead, you’ll have to activate them yourself. Here’s how to activate skulls in Halo Infinite .

Unlock Skulls

Before you can activate a skull, you’ll have to unlock it by searching for it somewhere in Zeta Halo or in one of Halo Infinite’s more linear missions. You can check out our Halo Infinite Skull locations guide here for a quick rundown of where to find them all.

Activating skulls in Halo Infinite

To activate a skull, you must exit your game and return to the Campaign menu.

Then select “Load Game” instead of Continue, then select the save file you want to load.

After choosing this, you will have the Difficulty and Skulls menus that you can choose from. Select Skulls, then you can choose the ones you found and unlocked to activate.

When you want to deactivate a skull, follow the same process and deactivate it.
