Anyone else a little disappointed in helioskrill?

not in the armour itself I think it looks pretty sweet. I’m more so dissappointed in the fact that all the work and challenge in getting it (legendary is no joke solo) can be erased by some day one first time halo player getting lucky with a REQ pack?

i mean recon in halo 3 was so hard to get with the vidmaster challenges and it was worth it because you would stand out from other Spartans.

Anyone else think the legend achievement should be the only way to get helioskrill?

I thought achievemnt based ones were exclusive unlocked through them, are they not? Still I think chivo based ones should be chivo only.

As far as i know, yeah they are Achievmentbased - you can’t get them with REQ packs. I want to know where the OP get that from.

you don’t have to do it solo, it can be done in co-op as well.

As for the armor, I agree with you, if people can get it without doing anything, what was the point of having it unlockable with the achievement anyway?

You can also use skulls (bandana, scarab, etc…) which makes legendary ALOT easier.

I’m not even slightly bothered. I got it in the beta and I was one of the few who wore it. So that alone made it worth it.

Friend and I did all on legendary co op, without skulls and then went ahead to do the Spartan Ops on legendary as well…god that was so boring. (the Spops, not campaign)

Everything in game, from what I understand, is fair grounds. REQ packs will have everything and anything in them.

afaik they nerfed that shortly after launch. Things like the scarab gun disable campaign-based achievements.

I swear I read somewhere in a blog or an interview that they asked someone about that and they said there were going to be some requirements to unlock certain things. Hopefully achievement based unlocks are part of that.

I also though i read somewhere that the TMCC/Nightfall Items are only obtainable due TMCC/Nightfall. But besides that REQ Packs have everything…also the Pre-order Armors like Locke etc…

I’d really like to hear from a Developer if that’s actually true. I kind of like the approach of ‘everything’s fair game’ in that there are no paywalls to worry about, everything is obtainable, etc.

But on the other hand, I think there’s definitely a place for exclusives based on skill. I dunno, I think if they make ‘Helioskill’ unlockable by luck, it’ll lose something. I wouldn’t mind them making it unlockable in H5 for Laso or something though.

I don’t know about the others but I know for a fact the scarab skull does not work.

They only stop point scoring and time based achievements

ehhhh i usually change up my armor a lot but the armor its self looks okay!

It’s only having to do it on legendary… not like it’s having to do it on LASO.

At first. I heard a few people from just a couple months ago say it disabled the campaign progress as well now.

It does. I got legend the other day finishing H2 solo with scarab and bandana. No way i was going to do that without them. It works.

No. It still works. I got my legend with both skulls on in sept. I also had the one that makes grunts explode on as well.

Achievement based unlocks are exclusive to… Well, the achievement.
