I bought the Halo 5 LE 1TB Xbox One and it came with a code for the Fotus chillrose armor and the Vanguard emblem. Are these items exclusive to the console or can they be earned through the REQ system? I already redeemed my code, but I have since seen them selling on eBay for $50-$100. This would lead me to believe that they are exclusive, but people buying them could just be uninformed.
Some have said that the armor is not exclusive but the emblem is. If that’s the case I kind of regret using the code for early access to an armor set and an exclusive emblem that I will now feel obligated to use.
If it included the Unicorn or Prancer emblem as an exclusive then I would have been much more excited about it. Ah well, if anyone can confirm if the armor and/or emblem are console exclusive I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks!
The Fotus armor is not an exclusive from buying an Xbox One and everyone can get the armor through the REQ system. Only the Vanguard emblem is the exclusive.

Vanguard is not an exclusive emblem
You can find it in gold packs. Look here for a complete list of emblems and how to achieve them: Emblem list

Well, at least I have some decent starting armor and a fairly unique emblem. Thanks for clarifying this for me. I could only find old posts on this topic full of speculation, so I’m glad to have a definite answer.

Vanguard is the console exclusive emblem, you cannot get it unless you have the console. I would have it, but I gave mine away

It’s a little bit of a letdown that they didn’t include anything exclusive, but it’s better than nothing. Thanks for the link to the Emblem list!

You absolutely can get the emblem without the console. I got it from a gold pack.

Yeah I just got it from a gold pack a few days ago too.
Well that’s a change from launch then, because it used to be the only item that was truly exclusive. They did release it into the REQ system when people initially got the 343 skins, I guess maybe they removed the restrictions on it then. Thanks for the info
