So, I’m finally going to be able to play some Halo Reach in the next few weeks (real life, always getting in the way!), but if memory serves, I’m still hell-and-gone from being able to score that awesome Haunted helmet. It’s been over a year since I played (first my game got stolen, then I got deployed), and I just refuse to even try Halo 4 until I’ve unlocked everything in Reach!
So, are there any new methods or anything for grinding xP faster now? Or anything on the horizon, perhaps? Also, any word if they’ll ever made some of the old Pre-order Bonuses available again?
Nothing new to get xP Boost in Reach and since H4 has been released, it’s in maintenance mode.
The only advice I can give is to complete the daily challenges for those extra 000’s of credits on top of normal game play.
You do get cR if you advance your commendations too, like moving from “Iron” to “Silver” level for the “Mobile Asset” commendation, so keep an eye on those stats too and see if you can fill in some of those.
Also, don’t forget that any of the multiplayer challenges that require hand to hand combat (except assassinations) can be fulfilled playing grifball.
PS: Yes it’s a very sweet helmet. I got it a few years back. It looks very cool and intimidating when you wrap it in the “Pestilence” armour effect too
And it’s unfortunate that one can’t share / sell their credits. I’m currently sitting at Inheritors rank, 100% armour completion (nothing left to buy) and have 11.6+ million credits.
For the best credit payouts i would play Grifball and Team Objective. While you have been away from the game 343 lifted the performance bonus for both these game type however they stuffed it up. It was supposed to reward you well for being on the wnning team and scoring 3 bombs in GB and quick flag scores and bomb plants in Team Ob with a pumped up perfomrance bonus but instead to get that bonus you need to stay in the game as long as possible.
ie: In griball you need to score all 3 bombs in sudden death and win and you will get a huge credit payout of over 10,000 credits and depending on your rank it could be higher. I get around 20,000 credits as an inheritor for doing this.
This game type offers the best credit payout for time spent in the game.
2nd would be Team Objective. Similar to the above you need to score your flags or bombs at the latest possible point in the game to extract a huge performance bonus.
Lastly try Firefight
Choose Arcadefight and just camp the spawns with FRG and Jet pack and rain death down on the covies getting lots of multi kills. That should see you rack up lots of credits for commendations and time in game. Coupled with some FF daily challenges you should do ok.
Lastly is the custom challenges but i think at the moment the whole CC thing is broken. I have seen many theads over the last 2 months about people complaining aboiut not getting any credit for the CC they are doing. Tis if working is the fastest way to rankl up as you could do the sword base target locator method to hit your daily credit cap of 200,000 creits in just over an hour.
I will check out the CC for you tonight and repost on this tomorrow to let you know if they are still working.
