I really want to know why Helioskrill - the armour for completing Halo 1-4 on legendary is accessible via Req packs. It makes no sense. Why make something a challenge to get but also let people buy their way to it. It makes me think that whatever the reward is for reaching 152 in Halo 5 will also be accessible through microtransactions
I mean the reward for all the hours and days and months and years of grinding in Halo 5 itself is a simple Mantle nameplate, so I wouldn’t hold too much hope of it being something cool.
*throws confetti
We can always cross our fingers, though. I’m trying to be positive even if they refuse to listen to the people actually playing.
On that same note, there seems to be little care when it comes to any sort of reward in Halo 5. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the game, but come on. For example, I have unlocked all the REQs so I saved up to get the Power Up REQ pack for 100,000 REQ points. What did I get?
A bunch of SENTINEL BEAMS.
I probably would have been better off getting 10 separate gold packs. I also would have probably lost my mind if I actually spent $5 to get a bunch of beams.
I get that the REQ system is random, but they can still do some simple coding to allow higher tier weapons when that is what you should be getting. I can see the Uncommon and Common REQs with the bronze and silver packs, but I’m getting plasma pistols and bolt shots half the time regardless of the pack or commendation.
I’m still going to grind for 152 because I like to think of myself as a completionist, but I don’t expect some cool stuff.

The Helioskrill got added to the REQ packs by accident, it was supposed to only be the other variants whilst the OG was supposed to remain exclusive to those who earned it.
Once people got it they couldn’t exactly take it out the system anymore.
I doubt they’ll have the 152 reward available to buy. However they have said reaching 152 will give you a small token of appreciation so I wouldn’t expect much from it

343 didn’t note the mistake when helioskrill came into the req system with bloodgorger and warbound, so here we are…
They shouldve removed it instantly. Let those who got it keep it and say " whoops, shouldn’t have been added, our bad. " and thats it
