Quick Links

The Excavation Site is the fifth mission in Halo Infinite, and it occurs in the open world. This means players don't need to worry about getting every collectible during the mission, as the area can be revisited again at any time.

There are seven collectibles to find at the Excavation Site in Halo Infinite: x1 Mjolnir Armor Locker, x2 Spartan Cores, x1 Banished Audio Log, and x2 UNSC Audio Logs. They're not the easiest to spot, as some are located quite a distance from the site itself. Players can use this Excavation Site collectible guide to assist them in their search.

Mjolnir Armor Locker

The Halo Infinite Mjolnir Armor location should appear on the map once players have traveled close to it. However, the marker doesn't give the exact position it is located at. The Mjolnir Armor locker at the Excavation Site is found on the lowest level of the southwestern area, hugging the cliff. Look out for its green symbol beside a marker that glows red.

Spartan Cores

The first Spartan Core in Halo Infinite at the Excavation Site is located inside a small building with a Ghost vehicle, near the entrance to the Conservatory, in the southeastern corner of the map. Players must use the Grappleshot to reach the platform on the left to open the box.

The second Spartan Core at the Excavation Site is located on the first level of the surrounding cliffs, in the southwestern area of the map. Players can reach it by standing on top of the roof of the small building below and using the Halo Infinite Grappleshot on the cliff above.

Turn left and keep going until another building and some cover is found, the turn left again toward the edge of the cliff to find the Spartan Core elevated on top of some jagged rocks.

Banished Audio Log

Players will first have to walk toward the Conservatory entrance in the southern part of the Excavation Site in order to gain access to this Banished Audio Log. Once this happens, a group of enemies will appear and players are tasked with turning off the drill. Take care of the enemies, then use a blue gravity lift to enter the large structure in the middle.

Use the scanner to locate the mission objective and head toward it. Before pressing it, however, turn around and head toward the small alcove containing a Halo Infinite Skewer, a Needler, and the Excavation Site Banished Audio Log.

UNSC Audio Logs

After finding the Banished Audio Log (see above), turn left and head down that corridor. There might still be two Grunts, so take them out and then head to the very back of the narrow room. Turn right to locate a Kinetic Ammo refill cache and some weapons. The UNSC Audio Log can be found in the middle of this loot.

The second UNSC Audio Log is actually located a fair bit north of the Excavation Site, but it still counts as one of the area's collectibles. Leave the site and head north along the road until reaching a turning. Travel along this western road and ping the area with the scanner. Players will find the last UNSC Audio Log on top of a rock near some debris and burnt trees.

There are unfortunately no Halo Infinite Skulls to find at the Excavation Site, but there will be opportunities to locate more soon.

Halo Infinite is out now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
