Team Respawn Halo Wars 2 stats report: Week of June 29, 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 July 6, 2026, 1,602 new players were added to the stats database, Captain Cutter led aggregate leader picks, and Team War was the busiest tracked mode with 3,286 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 1,110 picks (16%) and a 52% win rate across all tracked modes. Commander Jerome followed at 635 picks (9.1%) with 46.8% WR, while Sergeant Forge, Colony, and Atriox rounded out the top five at 614, 595, and 538 picks respectively. Cutter's share is driven heavily by Team War and 3v3 volume; Yapyap THE DESTROYER posted a strong 1v1 win rate this week despite finishing outside the aggregate top five.

Aggregate map rotation favored Bedrock (474 picks, 14.4%), Rift (446, 13.6%), and Ashes (417, 12.7%). Frontier and Vault completed the top five at 405 and 386 appearances respectively.

Leader powers

Enduring Salvo Inspiration I dominated casts with 9,940 total uses across the week. Sentinel Beacon followed at 9,825 casts, and Victory Mine I logged 2,511. Lotus Mines I registered 1,983 casts, while Restoration Drones I hit 1,788. Grunt Hustle Heal I, Grunt Mech Heal I, and Grunt Hustle Speed I each logged 1,530 casts. Bunker Drop I and Cleansing Beam I rounded out the top ten at 1,407 and 1,248 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.

• 2 campaign missions newly marked complete during this reporting week
• Operation Spearbreaker — 2 completions

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.
