Mythic Armor Ideas

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Anyone else thing it would be neat if all of the Mythic helmets/armor gave a boost in, say, WZ, Customs, or Forge?

Here are some examples-

Hunter- ARTEMIS tracking system to locate power weapons/vehicles that may be hidden on the field
Centurion and MK. Vl- ability to mark targets using the unused d-pad buttons

I just think Mythic helmets providing some advantage would be a cool idea in non-competitive game modes, and these would be available to be turned off and on in Custom Games or interchanged like armor mods between the helmets.

I just want Artemis and squad targeting, honestly.

Edit- Perhaps a better idea that would be a lot more balanced would be if these each got their own unique damage resistances/ damage buffs to enemy NPCs. The things above have been removed and modified below.

Ex.
Copperhead and Helioskrill- extra Covenant weapon damage and resistance to NPC targets

Nightfall and Helljumper- Extra GP and SC damage to NPC targets. Nightfall takes less damage from Hunter attacks.

Tanaka Helmet- increased damage and resistance to NPC vehicles

Hermes- more shotgun damage to NPC targets

Argus- more sniper and headshot damage to NPC targets

Additions (because the ideas pre-edit that I left weren’t too OP)-

Mk. lV addition- extra AR damage to NPC targets. Can highlight weapons and vehicles (doesn’t have Artemis, must have a direct line of sight on the item)

Centurion addition- extra damage done to highlighted NPC enemies if damage is dealt by teammates. Can highlight weapons and vehicles(doesn’t have Artemis, must be in direct sight of the item)

Hunter addition- additional BR damage to NPC enemies. Items sighted by Artemis can be seen by teammates.

These wouldn’t apply to their own single helmet, the helmets are just canon representations of the benefits.

Maybe a CQB armor as mythic.
More like the halo 3 version.

Armor should NEVER EVER come with perks, defeats the whole point of customization.

Just tossing it out there. Honestly, I don’t think it is a good idea either. I want squad commands and ARTEMIS in MP, the rest is garbage to me.
I just wanted to get thoughts on this one.

I think that’d be cool to have an ‘alert’ kind of ability on the d pad. Basically like your ID Tag/Name on screen change color, grow bigger, and a ping occurs on friendly players’ radars as kind of a heads up or help! signal, but mics make that obsolete.

Not necessarily obsolete. Most people don’t use, or in my case, have a mic. Some people have dogs that like to paw the wire so the mic rips itself out of your controller and hits the nearest wall at 40 mph and then stops working, leaving your team on Warframe wondering why you went silent so suddenly.

Anyway, not obsolete. I still like the squad commands. We can get along just fine changing our grenades with one button rather than two.

I play bumper jumper and the d-pad functions something like this-

Left and right- change grenades to respective direction

(Campaign only)

I think down is Artemis and up is command attack. I don’t know for sure because I rarely get to play squad leader in campaign.

My improvement idea would function like this-

Up- Highlight target
Down- Artemis
Left- Request help
Right- Grenade swap

Interchangeable as you wish.
