Commendation Progress

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Helloo :slight_smile:
just want to know how other people are doing on there commendation progress.
First off i have to admit that i am all about grinding to get them, I’m not playing specifically only to get them, but its always nice to have something to grind for.

on “ENEMY” i completed everything except for Warden Slayer where i am on level 4/5 you need 7 on this level and probably 10 on level 5. Everyone knows how random and frustrating it can be to get the ethernal warden kill, which makes it hard to aim at getting it, its one of these “sometime” ones.

on “WEAPON” i completed everything except for binary rifle (cant seem to get that freaking certification) and beam rifle i have about 24 left and need 35 kills so ~5 warzone games should do it.

on “VEHICLE” i completed 8/20, in there are probably some of the most time consuming ones, because you heavily depend on your enemy driving around on a mongoose/gungoose and to have a fitting weapon and to not miss your one shot you have most of the time before hes gone.

on “GAME MODE” i completed warzone- and slayer-master. Most of them come with time exspecially if there will be CTF or Stronghold only playlists. There are 3 that are pretty hard to get in my opinion those being Unstoppable, Against all Odds and Aggressive Expansion you heavily rely on your own and your enemys skills.

on “MULTIPLAYER” i completed everything except for Combat Opportunist and And Stay Off, again will come over time because theres no consistent way to get these its just the right moment in time.

After saying all that i have a big problem with the commendations, looking at them overall they give probably about 125000 XP which is WAY too low in my opinion, you need 50000000 XP for SR 152 and all the commendations combined are 0.25% of that, that is just not enough atleast make it 500000 XP = 1%, but those 1000 XP you get for most of them dont get you anywhere, the emblems are nice but not enough.

If you read that far, first off all thank you and now why dont you drop your progress down below.
I would also love to answer any questions you have about a specific commendation or a good way to get them, because there is allways a tactic to get them as quick as possible :slight_smile:

Nice post. And I have to agree with you on that. Since day 1 of playing H5, I noticed how low the reward was for completing a level of a commendation. You’d think weapon mastery and other mastery commendations would at least provide 5000 or more XP. And looking at an SR XP chart, what we get from commendations is almost non existent.

Agree- The commendation rewards are lacking - helmets & armors, and more beefy req packs would be nice.
Even without considering the reward, the gameification around them are lacking, compared to the ‘commendation wall’ of Reach where you could see all the silver, gold, onyx another player had as well as their level in the pre-game lobby, and make you go ‘holy -Yoink-’ .Right now the numbers are there but it’s drab, not something you showoff.
This also applies to SR levels progression in Halo 5. After the hog wild update the after game lobby is much better, but the ‘promotion’ animation of Reach is something I miss as well.

I am at 98 percent. Struggling to finish Breakout commendations.

5

I am Rank 8 currently so I don’t think that I have very many commendations.

Still 4 wardens to go :frowning:

Warden : Use a tank from the garage on noctus, or a ultra banshee on arc, or a rocket launcher from the top of the spire in Apex.
Agressive expansion : stay with your friends and avoid the areas full of ennemies. Don’t go alone in a base if you know there is an enemy
Vehicule : Tanks are a good way to destroy mongoose
Multiplayer : you’re right, just play and wait

Good luck

Hi there! Awesome post!
I really agree, we should get a lot more xp for the commendations or maybe have a commendation that is “complete all commendations” that give insane amounts of xp.

I also see that you have trouble with the binary rifle.
I also don’t have the certification for that but if you play infection on the map crypt (I think that’s the name) then you can pick up a binary rifle in the middle of a “bridge”. It’s easy to get kills with and you can probably get 10 kills per game.

For cliffhanger I would also recommend infection. I get that medal so much more when playing infection.
