343 skins were a thing back in 2015. You could get them from buying Halo Championships bundles, just like the ones we can buy this week. Back then you would get the 343 skins when your collection of Halo Championship skins was complete: HALO 5 | HCS REQ PACK OPENING | SURPRISE 343 SKINS! (Halo 5 Guardians) - YouTube
I bought two packs of the HCS bundles this week and in my second pack I just got one HCS AR and the other 4 cards were boosters… Sigh. Best 80.000 REQ points ever spent.
What is the flippin harm in adding these skins back into the loot pool? Seriously 343. In 2019 Halo 6 will get released. Not a lot of people still play Halo 5. What would be the harm in adding these kinds of skins back into the loot pool for your loyal fans? Same goes for retired Halo teams like CLG.
Cheers.
They where given by mistake in the HCS packs and later added in the Spartan’s Armory pack as a legit way to get them. I’d like to see them stay exclusive. The harm to adding them to the req pool is that it it is a huge slap in the face to the people that spent money trying to get a skin that was perceived as exclusive.
Were they ever acquirable through REQ packs?

They were obtainable through the Spartan’s Armory pack - which was a whole bunch of weapon skins - when it first came out two years ago. You had to buy multiple packs in order to get the original 343 skins. Now, it’s impossible to unlock them.

Yeah, I’m not really a fan of those elitist players.
EDIT: And the pack could be bought for 80.000. So no money was needed.

There is no way whatsoever to unlock them?

Absolutely not. Same thing applies to the Challenger set and the Allegiance / CLG skins.

Dang. So no way of getting a 100% customization collection.
Na man. If you missed lit on a limited time item, the time has passed. If they released the skins it would piss off the players who were there when they were available. What’s next you want Achilles to be added to req packs also because you don’t want to grind for it? They took away helioskrill from us… every game has got to have time limited items

Your personal dislike for someone isn’t really a reason to punish those players. Yes you technically didn’t have to spend money, but 80,000 req points is a ton to grind for.

What? I don’t want to punish anyone. I only dislike people who feel like because they could buy the skins in 2015 for 80.000 points, that others in 2018 should not be able to buy the skins for 80.000 points. People who think like that are just an elitist -Yoink-. And remember, we’re talking about gun skins here. I will be the only person seeing those skins from my spartans point of view. No one else will see them, so it’s not that I’m taking away anything from anyone if I see those skins. And 343 should realise that and bring back these skins.
