Idea for Armor Variants in the REQ system

As you all know there are a bunch of armor and helmets to collect through the REQ system. On top of that they all have different skins for each respective set. I have an idea that I think could be a better way of dishing out all these armors instead of leaving it up to RNJesus to decide what you’ll be wearing next match.
Idea:

  • Instead of unlocking 3 - 5 different variants through packs you would only need to unlock the BASE/ STANDARD variant of the armor/ helmet
  • To unlock the different variants you would need to complete “armor commodations” such as wins or kills while wearing the standard variants.
  • The more rare sets (based off how 343 ranked them from common to mythic) would require the player to complete multiple commodations on the standard or other less rare variants

What do you guys think? It’s just an idea that I thought up. Kind of sick of getting multiple variations of armors I’m not particularly interested in. This would be a possible alternative to avoid getting them and using a more challenge based unlock system. It also helps speed up the process of getting more diverse armor sets over receiving duplicate sets.

UPDATE: This is an idea to be added to a future Halo game. Halo 6 most likely if Warzone and the Req system are to return

Sounds like a good idea, but if they change the current system to work like this what will they do with the people who already have variants of an armor?

I need this. We. Need. This.

They won’t do this now, but maybe they can do this in Halo 6 assuming they keep the Req system.

A very good idea, but unfortunately it’s almost certainly to late to for this to be implemented in Halo 5. However would be nice if this wound up in Halo 6.

I approve of this idea. It would just be like unlocking armor variants in Halo 4, but more commendations to get the armor if this happens in Halo 6.

Glad to see some positive feedback to this. This is an idea for a future game if they were to bring the Req system back, so probably Halo 6.

I don’t like your idea, I rarely change my armor because I like what I’am wearing. Also sounds to much like destiny which I didn’t enjoy much. Plus there are already armor mods and power ups that work very much like your have described.

So No it’s not needed.

This has nothing to do with power ups or mods. This is all about cosmetic armor and different variants.
Example:

  • Scout Helmet has a variant called Decoy
  • Instead of getting the Decoy skin in another pack you would earn it by getting 50 kills while wearing the regular scout helmet
    Not sure how its remotely like destiny lol. All my idea does is remove a ton of reqs out of the RNG pool and require a challenge to be completed. I don’t think you quite get what i’m putting down. Hopefully my example clarifies it!
