Originally Helioskrill was unlockable only through the Legend achievement as we all know. In the video below though you can see that apparently it is now unlockable via Req Packs.
The person opening packs unlocks the variants of Helioskrill at the 2:21 and 2:40 markers, but then at 2:57 they unlock the CE Magnum along with the Helioskrill Mythic.
Thoughts? Glicth?
Well that’s disappointing…They could’ve just left the base Helioskrill as an MCC unlockable. Meh what can I do.
There we have it, Helioskrill now unlocked through gold packs. This doesn’t bother me, you can still check stats through waypoint to see who’s completed MCC on legendary SOLO and CO-OP.

See well this is my biggest issue. As someone who has previously completed all the campaigns in Halo on Legendary it didn’t make sense to me that I didn’t also have access to the helmet.
Locking it behind an achievement that no everyone had the opportunity to complete was unfair to begin with. Just because I didn’t complete the legendary campaigns in the MCC doesn’t take away from the fact that I did it previously
I’m surprised people aren’t more up in arms about this. Is this something people have made their peace about?
343i said that you could get the armor from REQ Packs once the game came out. Whether it was a glitch or they decided to hold off the ability to do so is unknown but it was always their intent to allow everyone to get Helioskrill.
This has made me very said today

No no, people (myself included) are still very pissed off since we spent some much time to obtain the armour set. But, we expect this type of styff from 343 now. In a few month you will get Achilles with a different skin via req packs, because you know, moving lines about on an armour set really makes it different.

Why? They said when they announced how to unlock the armor that you could get it through REQ packs. It’s not like this is something that’s new, it’s been known for a year and a half now.
Low move 343, low move
You’d think they’d keep it as a tie-in to keep people playing their broken MCC Campaign system

I’m pretty sure it could be unlocked via REQ’s in the first place. Completing the Legend Achivement (so close…) will give you a REQ pack that will always unlock the Helioskrill. There’s just two variants now that can be unlocked by REQ’s as well.
Achillies is the only exception, since that can be unlocked only by completing the Spartan Company Conmendation.

When the game first released it could be unlocked supposedly and was changed via an update to just MCC.

Many people who have collected all the reqs had reported on various occasions that Helioskrill remained locked for them because they had not received the Legend achievement. It seems that only now is the helmet is unlockable via regular Gold packs.
Achilles
Mark VI Gen 1
Mark VI Gen 1 Scarred
Nightfall
Helioskrill
were all helmets and armor that could not be unlocked via regular Req packs.

From posts on the forum, all but Achilles are now available in req packs.

I haven’t seen anyone post this. Mark VI’s and Nightfall have not been able through reqs ever (not that they were hard to get to begin with) and this is literally the first time I have seen Helioskrill available in a req.
