Team Respawn Halo Wars 2 stats report: Week of June 8, 2026

Welcome back to the Team Respawn Halo Wars 2 stats report — a weekly digest built from activity on our HW2 stats tool. For the rolling seven days ending June 15, 2026, 1,187 new players were added to the stats database, Captain Cutter led aggregate leader picks, and Team War was the busiest tracked mode with 2,768 matches in our sample. Ranked playlists, Blitz, and both Firefight modes are all represented below; Firefight leader callouts are PvE-oriented and should be read with that context.

Statistics reflect matches analyzed through Team Respawn HW2 Stats lookups only — not the global Halo Wars 2 population. Figures below use a rolling past 7 days (UTC) window unless labeled all-time. New players counts reflect gamertags stored in our database for the first time; campaign completions are newly detected when campaign progress refreshes on the site.

Leaders

Captain Cutter led the aggregate sample with 723 picks (16%) and a 49.5% win rate across all tracked modes. Sergeant Forge followed at 517 picks (11.5%) with 52.4% WR, while Colony, Atriox, and Decimus rounded out the top five. Cutter's share is driven heavily by Team War and 3v3 volume; Forge still owns the 2v2 leaderboard this week.

Leader powers

Sentinel Beacon dominated casts with 8,756 total uses across the week. Jerome Salvo Inspiration I followed at 3,187 casts, and Decimus Cleansing Beam I logged 951. Pavium's Grunt Hustle trio — Heal, Invulnerability, and Speed at tier I — each registered 938 casts, with tier II variants close behind at 843 each. Lotus Mines I rounded out the top ten at 918 casts.

Campaign

When a player's campaign progress is refreshed on HW2 stats and a mission newly transitions to complete, we log it for weekly reporting. Only new completions are counted — already-finished missions on a first-time profile load are not backfilled.

• 9 campaign missions newly marked complete during this reporting week
• Main Campaign — 5 completions
• Tutorial — 4 completions

These figures reflect campaign activity surfaced through Team Respawn lookups, not global Halo Wars 2 completion rates.
