Fotus armour not redeeming in Halo 5

Halo 5 up and running.

I’ve redeemed the code (that came with the Xbox One Halo 5 edition console) and started playing Multiplayer, only to find that Fotus isn’t showing up to select under customisation/Spartan Appearance.

It should be available from the get go.

Anyone else have this issue/have a solution?

Cheers.

Troubleshooting:

Re-entered code (receiving confirmation that it worked).

Softboot/hardboot.

Closed game.

same, wasnt in any of my REQ packs either

OK. So I finally figured out what has happened. FOR THOSE OF US that pre ordered the system and did everything else for pre order codes, heres whats up.
If you go into the games and apps tab and bring up the sub menu and click on manage games, youll find that the dlc preorder codes have to update before you have access to them in the game. It just takes alittle bit of time. SO do not fear, you did get your stuff that you input codes for they just have to update. so dont restart the console or it will slow this down. happy hunting guys and girls.

It doesnt appear as a dlc for me after i put the code
