Halo Infinite Forge mode is proving to help the game in more ways than anticipated. It was recently revealed that a fan-made Forge mode called Digletts (yes, like the pokemon) is extremely useful when it comes to helping the dev team.

According to Kotaku, John Junyszek, a 343 Industries community manager, recently published a tweet asking fans what their favorite Forge game was. Linz, a Halo competitive player, responded with Digletts, and it was there that Junyszek revealed that this mode has helped the team with shot registrations and when it comes " to latency and networking."

Fun Fact! This minigame has recently helped our team further test and investigate various shot registration situations, especially in regards to latency and networking. Since it's a curated environment without many variables, it's helped us investigate specific scenarios. https://t.co/M9mS7SeNux

In Diglett's mini-game, players are dropped into a hole in the ground that they can't escape from and have nothing but a sniper rifle surrounded by other players. Whenever they decide to stand up and peek out from the hole, they leave nothing but their head exposed for other players to shoot them in the head.
