I am a completionist. I want to get every single armor, every single helmet, every single darn req card. The three biggest threats to this are Achilles (I have the armor), Athlon Champion (I’m waiting for the pack to return), and Helioskrill.
Is it more effective to Grind through all 4 campaigns on Legendary in MCC or Attempt to get lucky in req packs?
I have hit walls in campaign. I cannot get past Truth and Recon, Cairo Station, Arrival, and Requiem.
I have nearly finished silver packs in my req collection. I have 80% of the commons, 75%of the uncommons, and 55% of the rares (give or take).
Would it be more effective for me to put my hours into Legendary Campaign or the RP grind?
I got mine by completing MCC. sure you may have to redo mission here and there but going through all the missions is still fun. It’s best to do a hard rest before playing MCC and never skip the cut scenes.
Roughly 2500 REQ points per Firefight win.
Firefight is roughly 20 minutes.
20 x 5 = 1 hour 20 minutes.
So it’s 1 hour 20 minutes of playtime in Halo 5, or struggling through MCC. Your choice.

The sheer amount of grinding it takes to get through all the silver packs, and then even dig into the gold packs enough to start getting Legendary reqs, you’re better off doing the MCC. Just look up playthroughs and strategy guides for the missions, they’re not impossible. In Halo 2 there’s even a bunch of glitches that allow you to skip a good portion of the real difficult stuff, like the Outskirts Sniper alleys.

Tip: Party skulls ONLY affect par time and par score achievements. You can still get all other achievements (including Legend) using skulls. So if you absolutely need to, throw on Scarab gun or infinite ammo and blast your way through those campaign levels.
Obviously if if you want Hellioskril to feel special, then grind it without cheat skulls. But if you don’t care and just want that armor, go with the skulls.
If if you want to do it legit, watch some legendary walk through videos. They give a lot of tips and tricks on how to do things. Like hidden weapon and powerups, or ways to skip or I trigger enemy spawns, or advice on clearing a part that you may have hit a wall on. I remember I absolutely got so tunnel visioned on this one part that I died on at least 100 times, and I kept trying so hard to clear it using some method that I had “perfected” over my last 100 runs. In actuality, what I was doing was just way too complicated and when I did what they did on the guide, I passed it first try.
Perhaps get some friends together and grind through the campaigns. It’d be less of a chore and more of a fun time. Personally, I’ve never done it, but it’s on my to-do list. It’s a grind either way though.

He said he is a completionist - he doesn’t care to wear the armor. This is a more efficient method and takes lower gametime to get Helioskrill.
You claim to be a completionist. If true, then you’re going to get it anyways during your grind. If you go to MCC you’ll just be taking time away from completing your H5 collection.

Yeah see, the first thing you said kind of answers the second thing, there. If you’re going to finish your gold pack grind anyway, then why bother getting Helioskrill from the MCC?

MCC for sure. Do it Solo, it’s easier that way. All you need to do is spend about a week maybe, and you’re guaranteed Helioskrill. Grind REQ Points and you have no idea how long it’ll take. Plus, do it just to say that you beat all 4 campaigns on Legendary. It’s worth going to MCC.

> I got the Helioskrill and its variants the hard way - I don’t even have MCC.
The hard way would be the legendary campaigns. Nothing hard about grinding, just takes a lot of playtime.
Plus, Halo CE and Halo 2 legendary was much harder than anything WZFF has thrown at me. H2 Jackal snipers still give me nightmares
But if OP is just a completionist, its easier to get it through REQ packs. Mainly because you will get 90% of all the other useless armor reskins and painted scout hogs before you get to Helioskrill

You can get Helioskrill in gold packs. If you don’t feel like playing the old campaign’s on legendary that is the way to go. If you enjoy the classic campaigns on legendary I’d go that way.
Are we talking about “Helioskrill”, or the Bloodgorger and Warbound variants (or any/all of them)?
I unlocked the Warbound and Bloodgorger versions just by opening Gold REQ packs as I played. Wasn’t “grinding” as such, I just play, earn REQ points, open Gold packs as I go. That’s it.
Very pleased with it though as the Warbound and matching helmet are my favourites so far.
