How much extra in-game DLC have you unlocked?
Firstly, I see a lot of topics on here asking about the Pre-order/Limited Edition DLC and whether or not it will be released on the Marketplace in the future.
This is all that has been said on the topic so far, (to the best of my knowledge):
> Some of the skins, helmets, and the FOTUS armor are exclusive to various retail offers. <mark>Some</mark> of these items <mark>MAY</mark> become available to all players at a later date.

In reference to the exclusive in-game content that comes with the Limited Edition Console & Limited Edition Game…
> While we know there are completionists that would like to have it all, it’s not unreasonable to think that we <mark>may</mark> eventually make <mark>all</mark> of the content available one day.

So, basically, the answer is we don’t know if it WILL be released in the future, just that some, or maybe even all of it, MAY be.
Now for the list…

Another interesting point is the apparent contradiction that was made regarding the Locus and Deadeye helmets…
> Last week, retailers began announcing their Halo 4 pre-order bonuses. The first eight bonuses you’ll see below are skins. (For clarification purposes, please note <mark>they are skins only, and we are not locking away armor.</mark>)

I’m pretty sure there’s no other way to unlock the Locus or Deadeye helmets in-game.
The Locus helmet was made available via the King of the Hill app and the Deadeye helmet featured in the V Energy Drink giveaway, but both of these promotions have now ended, so technically these two pieces of armor are now ‘locked away’ from players.
