I think there’s a big missed opportunity for some cosmetics being earned by playing.
We currently have the weekly challenge, and the battle pass (paid), and some events that give you cosmetics.
But there can be so much more!
First and Foremost, there can be a lot more earned by playing campaign. I think there should be cosmetics awarded for completing the game on different difficulties, earning different scores withing missions, beating par time, completing LASO, etc. Lots of opportunity there.
There should definitely be some cosmetics attached to completion of the Academy, weapon drills in particular. Earning 3 stars on every tier of the Sniper Rifle drill should give you a sick coating!
I know there’s already a lot of talk of the necessity of a baseline progression system outside of the battle pass. I think that is absolutely necessary. There should definitely be cosmetics attached to that. Piece of armor for every rank up, etc. Or earned currency to spend towards armor, like Halo Reach.
Performance based reward cosmetics would be awesome. Cosmetics earned by certain medals, It would be cool to get a sick helmet attachment or wrist piece as a reward for getting 25 no-scope medals. Something along those lines. Cosmetics attached to achievements as well.
Baseline kill count progress for weapons would be great. For example, tiers of 100, 500, and 1000 kills with the assault rifle - and you’d earn a coating at each tier. Perhaps attribute headshots to precision weapons.
