Team Respawn Halo Wars 2 stats report: Week of June 15, 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 22, 2026, 1,784 new players were added to the stats database, Captain Cutter led aggregate leader picks, and Team War was the busiest tracked mode with 3,144 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. Blitz and Firefight volumes depend on profile lookups, so those samples remain small.

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 937 picks (16.4%) and a 56.8% win rate across all tracked modes. Sergeant Forge followed at 654 picks (11.4%) with 56.1% WR, while Colony, Sergeant Johnson, and Commander Jerome rounded out the top five. Cutter's share is driven heavily by Team War and 3v3 volume; Decimus still owns the 2v2 leaderboard this week despite finishing outside the aggregate top five.

Aggregate map rotation favored Bedrock (472 picks, 14.9%), Rift (415, 13.1%), and Vault (413, 13.1%). Ashes and Frontier completed the top five at 402 and 373 appearances respectively.

Leader powers

Sentinel Beacon dominated casts with 8,242 total uses across the week. Jerome Salvo Inspiration I followed at 5,497 casts, and Lotus Mines I logged 1,173. Restoration Drones I registered 1,159 casts, while Yapyap's Grunt Hustle trio — Heal, Invulnerability, and Speed at tier I — each hit 1,101 casts. Victory Mine I, Bunker Drop I, and Cleansing Beam I rounded out the top ten at 945, 914, and 799 casts respectively.

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.

• 1 campaign mission newly marked complete during this reporting week
• Tutorial — 1 completion

Campaign completions are counted when a mission is newly detected complete during a campaign progress refresh on Team Respawn — not backfilled from existing saves. These figures reflect campaign activity surfaced through Team Respawn lookups, not global Halo Wars 2 completion rates.
