Equipment re-locking? A Halo 4 problem.

Okay, so ever since I bought the Champions Bundle, I have to re-buy all the equipment that requires Spartan Points to buy sometimes. It’s not huge issue, but it’s kind of annoying to need to remake my loadouts every so often. This has happened three times so far. 343i, I know you’re VERY busy, but please try to fix this whenever you have time, thank you.

All 343 needs to do is hire Vince Zampella. All problems of this game will be SOLVED!!!

Everything that requires Spartan Points to unlock should be freely available to begin with, if you ask me. I don’t see the point when you have everything you really want unlocked well before the Specializations come in to play.

Hi, Braedo. Thanks for the heads-up about the issue you’re experiencing. Could you (and anybody else this is happening to) provide the following information, please?

  • What was your SR when this happened?
  • Did equipment you had previously purchased go back to their pre-purchased state?
  • Were your Spartan Points refunded?
  • What date did this happen?
  • How many times did this happen?
    Thank you in advance for any additional information you can offer.

Hi bs angel,

This happened to me too, but only once so far…

I was SR130
My Spartan Points were refunded so I was able to purchase everything again
It happened on 22nd Aug
Once so far
My loadouts still had their custom names and any slots with weapons or Tac packages that weren’t purchased with spartan points still had them selected but any slots containing things purchased with Spartan Points were empty and had to be set up again because I needed to buy them with the refunded Spartan Points again.

Edit:
It didn’t happen on the 20th or 21st when I was just playing multiplayer but I noticed it on the 22nd after I’d played a campaign level.

I may try another campaign level today to see if it occurs again and will post here to let you know if it does.

For me…
SR95
Yes.
Today, it may have happened as my brother signed out of his account.
Only once, for me.

In addition, when my brother signs into his account, my armor goes to ODST, same as his, but my visor remains legendary, the same happened with him one of the other instances where I (think) I signed in. where he wore my Mark V.

I am SR130
This occurs numerous times a day
It resets my Armor abilties, Tac Packages, and Support Upgrades, but only if they were bought with spartan points.
I get my spartan points back whenever this happens.

OK, played Matchmaking for a couple of days without issue.

However, I thought I’d try the campaign thing as promised:

I checked before starting a level - no problems - Spartan Points read zero and all loadouts were complete.

I played a level and then saved and quit and checked my loadouts straight away afterwards - BOOM - all 52 Spartan Points refunded and I need to go through my loadouts and purchase everything again :frowning:

So this bug is repeatable… and very annoying! If I don’t want to have to go through and purchase everything again and sort my loadouts everytime I basically can’t play Campaign anymore :frowning:

Please patch this ASAP!

Hello,

SR-107
AUG. 23-24

It has happened to me three times so far since purchasing the bundle yesterday. Twice after playing campaign. Once after leaving matchmaking.
Everything resets load-out wise. Points refunded etc. Armor changed to partially default. Helmet, forearms, chest stayed same, legs changed. The last two times though armor stayed the same, but load-outs all reset except for weapon skins. So no rhyme or reason to it. Deleted and re-downloaded bundle and same result. Suffice to say it fubar.

Stay classy.

Happened to me after applying update. SR130

SR 81
All the items you have to buy for loadouts.
All 52 of my spartan points.
I think August 23rd. It has happened four times now.

SR 130
Yes
Yes
Immediately after the TU
Once

Also, Campaign reset back to where only Prologue was available. All campaign stats seem to be intact except for ‘Domain terminals found’, which shows 0/7 instead of 7/7. Weird.

Thanks!

  • SR-130
  • Everything that was unlocked through leveling needed to be bought again
  • All 52 SP were refunded
  • Not sure. A few days after the DLC release, maybe.
  • It has happened only once, possibly caused by me opening up the start menu during the “Checking Downloadable Content” screen. Haven’t done said action since, and it hasn’t happened since then.

Thanks for all the info (it has definitely helped our investigation). We’re looking into possible fixes for this issue but in the meantime, you can see its current status here:

Thanks, and since the thing with the Infinity armour pack not showing up in SpOps I’d assume no fixes are planned right? :frowning:

Halo 4
Status: Online
Alerts: Champions Bundle
•Prefect, Mark V and Ricochet forearms display as ODST in first-person POV in Custom Games and Matchmaking.

•Loadouts are reset and Spartan Points are refunded when a new Loadout slot is unlocked. This occurs at SR-6, SR-14, SR-26 and SR-41. When you reach these levels, you will need to re-purchase all items and redo your Loadouts. No Spartan Points will be lost.

happens to me at SR130 so the info above is incorrect

> happens to me at SR130 so the info above is incorrect

Missing information does not make a statement incorrect. There’s no reason to be so testy.
