Helmets that you actually have to work for?

Hi, are there any helmets in H5 that aren’t just unlocked randomly in req packs and you actually have to reach a certain milestone/complete a task to unlock? I already know about achilles, helioskrill, timmy and olive but are there any others? Merci in advance.

I think you listed out all the helmets you can unlock that’s not in the REQ pool.

There are the MCC ones like Helioskrill(you already mentionned), Mark VI, Mark VI Scarred and Nightfall

No you can get those all in req packs now

The only one I know that you can’t get from gambling is the Achilles

pack and received the full Helioskrill set… poor dudes who grinded all the Legendary campaigns in MCC

I wouldn’t call it a grind, more likely a leisurely journey through my childhood. That aren’t very many missions that present much of a challenge on Legendary.

you can get the nightfall armor by watching halo nightfall on the halo app.

They only have a few and the ones that you can’t just get in REQ boxes aren’t for real achievements, you get them for throwing immense amounts of time at the game with no real objective.

I’m an achievement player, I need unlocks to hunt, that’s what I enjoy doing in online games. - and hunting my 80th unrecognizable title card does NOT qualify.

They better fix this when Halo 6 comes out. Players deserve meaningful challenges, with unique and recognizable rewards that they can show off within the GAME ITSELF.

Example of what NOT to do: Give us a standard looking playercard for a challenge that just requires us to get ‘x’ kills with each weapon.
Example of what engaging progression SHOULD do: Give us a unique-looking helmet for getting ‘x’ number of multikills with each weapon, with higher-tier medals rewarding additional progress.

“Yeah-yeah ‘armchair developer!’ look at him, he has no idea how much work goes into this!”
Yes I do, you’ve just been putting all that work into REQ packs instead. Get your act together and stop making excuses, you actually did this right in Halo 4.

I would code the multikill challenges myself for free, that’s how easy this actually is.
EDIT: got bored and actually did write the functions necessary for this to work: GDB online Debugger | Code, Compile, Run, Debug online C, C++

Helioskrill can actually be unlocked from gold packs.

There is an ultra rare helmet stalker I think or something relating to HCS in pretty sure so I’m gessing u have to compete in it

Which really pisses me off, it just serves as a humungous ‘-Yoink- you’ to people who worked really hard to beat every MCC campaign on legendary. Imagine if you could get EOD or security helmet in halo 3 by just throwing £3 at the game and getting lucky. One thing I REALLY hope they do in halo 6 is have way more helmets that you need to reach certain milestones for, so that getting a specific helmet or piece of armour can actually mean something again.

343 said during h5 developement that they would do their best to make sure nothing was exclusive to pre order or prior games. They were trying to avoid H4’s situation.

The only helmets that are not in the regular silver/gold packs are… The classic helmets which is a money only pack(sometimes req points also but not to often)… The Timmy and olive helmets which one is given out by completing 50 hours of custom game time and one by getting something of yours into matchmaking or featured…ie a map, or game. The HCS armor/helmet which you get by buying additional HCS team packs(one of them is no longer available 2016 HCS stuff). Then of course Achilles, Spartan company grind only. Pretty sure those are it.

What do you mean by H4’s situation? I haven’t been following halo for very long so I’m a bit out of the loop tbh

One thing I REALLY hope they do in halo 6 is to have way more decent looking helmets that you’d actually want to wear instead of mostly fugly looking helmets that look like a dropped pie or they ran into the back of a parked car…

You might be thinking of the Challenger set which was only available for 24 hours during the 2016 World Championship.

You have listed almost all of them.

Tbh I kinda hope they keep some of the ugly helmets because I find some of them so funny. The seeker is such a horrifically designed abomination of nature that I actually find it hilarious.
