Is there a definitive reason to complete LASO or SLASO on Halo 5? Other than personal achievement? I hear the only real thing you get is just an icon on your Halo 5 mission completion list on your service record in Waypoint. Does anyone know if it shows on the service record of Halo 5 too, like when viewing someone’s profile? Or if it’s just Waypoint? I just completed Halo CE and 2 on SLASO, and am somewhat through Reach’s. Just trying to get the LASO Master achievement to display on my Steam profile and nameplate for Steam/Xbox. But if Halo 5 has no real reward I’m going to really dread doing it. I’m going to do it regardless most likely, but man, I’d love if they make something in Halo Infinite for those of us who really suffer through this challenge. Like another haunted helmet type cosmetic or something. Would be nice. But yeah, what’s all the possible reward(s) for Halo 5 LASO completion?
Props man.
I tried, I failed I quit.
So many times.
There needs to be something awesome for it.
I’ve been hoping there would be one last update to add LASO and speed running achievements, but don’t think this will happen.

I don’t know if there are rewards for it but I’m going to do it after I hit 152. I did all of the LASO & other achievements in MCC so Halo 5 is the last game I haven’t LASO’d. Feel the urge to complete the set haha
MCC did it right with at least giving us a nameplate for completing them.

I just wish the nameplates were as cool looking as the ones from Reach’s lol.

I’m level 80 on another account and I think 50 or 60 on my main account. I really regretted doing everything on the other account that was Halo related because this is my main. I don’t even have my Halo 5 beta rewards on this one sadly. I do have my Halo Reach Beta avatar stuff though. If I never swapped accounts I’d probably make the grind to 152. I just wanted to do everything Halo related on my old one because I hit inheritor on that one. I just got tired of switching for accounts for Halo so I moved entirely to this one and am currently redoing the LASO playlists

Please no, LASO is busted when you have to exploit glitches to complete a game or challenge they shouldn’t be achievements. Get a double kill in Rumble Pit with a Spartan Laser with 1 shot is an achievement that uses skill. LASO is broken dude, people who do it should get a reward though maybe armor and icon to show but don’t make these things achievements.

You aren’t really forced to exploit glitches in order to complete the Halo games on LASO. However, there do exist some missions where it may be recommended to use glitches in order to make the game slightly easier.

Can you imagine not using invisible Sergeant Johnson to beat Cairo Station? Some of those glitches are mandatory or you’re just not getting through certain sections.

A double kill with the laser in ranked FFA is more luck based than skill. There is very little influence you have over lining up 2 other players for the kill. Most people boost it anyways which shows how poorly designed it was and how little skill is really involved. In defense of LASO it requires an understanding and dedication to the game that is more than achievement worthy. In the MCC even the OG titles CE and H2 aren’t impossible, so long as you keep trying again and again. I thought I would never kill regret or get through the prison on Gravemind, yet each checkpoint along the way showed me how much closer I was to the end goal.
The achievements from the MCC also shed a light on those respective sub communities and celebrated the different play styles. The achievements were even named after the OG speed runners like Mythic Tyrant and Na3d Eli (I.E. Naked Tyrant). If these challenges were never made into achievements I don’t think I would have dove into the guides on YouTube or shared strategies here on Waypoint. Sure you can use glitches to make your life a lot easier in LASO, but just because glitches are involved shouldn’t disbar them. There are so many cool easter eggs that were turned into achievements in the MCC that required the use of a glitch or exploit like getting the scarab gun/ soccer ball.
Adding some new achievements would be a breath of fresh air to the H5 campaign without really adding anything new. Achievement hunters and challenge seekers would dive into a different side of the H5 community and hopefully add more to it.
As far as I know there isn’t really a reason outside of completionism.

It’s probably possible to complete Cairo Station without using Sgt. Johnson throughout the mission. The main reason why Johnson is to distract the enemies in order to make some encounters a bit easier.

The main problem with nearly every multiplayer based achievement that requires too much luck is that players will attempt to obtain the achievement using unintended means. In my opinion, the multiplayer achievements should be designed in a such a way to encourage players to follow the spirit of the game.

I respect the answer. I actually think Halo’s achievements were always skill based. I never saw the Laser achievement as luck based in Free for all. The older I got I saw there were more opportunities in free for all to get a double kill with a Laser. So many situations are there where you get a Double Kill. I respect the LASO community, it takes a lot of mental fortitude to deal with that nightmare, but I always thought ARMOR and NAMEPLATES (way better than the one in MCC) should give people a reason to do them. Vidmaster was a challenge but it was a fair challenge and they are some of my most fond memories in Halo.

I used to think that about multiplayer achievements until I realize you have to change your gameplan. To get a perfection, I stuck with my teammates, called out whenever I was under attack, and always supported my teammates. Whenever a power weapon spawned I screamed out that rockets, sniper, shotgun was up. Same with the Assassinating the armor locking user, the moment I saw a dude use armor lock, I’d ping my buddy and say “Hey armor locker let’s set him up.”
For Halo 5, there is so much you can do with that Campaign, I’d rather a speedrun on Legendary achievement than a LASO speedrun of the game but this is just my opinion, I’m okay with all of your answers.
