This isn’t a traditional number for the franchise’s multiplayer, so some players might not know what the acronym stands for. This guide will cover exactly what KDA is in Halo Infinite, how it’s worked out, where players can find it within the game’s menus, and how to see the traditional KD stat.

What is KDA in Halo Infinite?
KDA stands for Kill/Death/Assist in Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode. As assists can help teams win matches just as much as kills, it’s a good way of displaying how helpful players are when it comes to team fights. Not including objective-based modes like Capture the Flag.
KDA is displayed in Halo Infinite multiplayer at the end of a match by tabbing to “scoreboard” and then moving the right thumbstick to the right. Keep moving the thumbstick right for even more match details—like max killing spree number, betrayals, and headshot kills.
How is KDA Calculated in Halo Infinite?
KDA is calculated with the formula “Kills + Assists/3) – Deaths”, just like in Halo 5: Guardians. This means an assist is worth 0.333 of a regular kill. The easiest way to remember how to calculate KDA is to divide all assists by 3, add it to the kill count, and then minus all player deaths. For example, 10 Kills, 6 Assists, and 5 deaths equals a 7 KDA.
All types of kills are counted in the formula, even strange ones such as getting a kill using a threat sensor in Halo Infinite. Suicides will also count as a player death, which can occur easily on multiplayer maps with steep falls.
How to Check KD in Halo Infinite
Players who want to see the more familiar KD number can use a third-party site instead, like HaloTracker. This website has no affiliation with 343 Industries, but it can provide players with even more information regarding their multiplayer Spartan, such as win rate, average damage, and how many total headshots have been made over the course of playing online. This information can be filtered by match type as well.
Other players’ statistics can be viewed as well, as long as the Gamertag is known. This can help average players see just how good the pros really are, and assist in verifying claims like the Halo Infinite player who won 100 free-for-all matches in a row.
Halo Infinite is out now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
