I’ve been searching over the forums for awhile now hoping to find something on the best way to get REQ points, and I finally found something. Heroic Warzone Firefight. I thought since there are a bunch of other grinders out there that want REQ points faster, that I would make this forum post to help out, and I hope it does.
At first you might be thinking; “What? Heroic Warzone? No Way!” Mythic is the best!" just hear me out. I thought it was weird at first as well, but then I began to understand why it is THE BEST and FASTEST way to get REQ points. While Mythic Warzone with a RP boost may be your retirement plan, its only on over the weekend, which means you won’t be able to get 5000 REQ points everyday. If you want to spend your whole weekend grinding Mythic Warzone, be my guest, but Heroic is better for grinding REQ points. Heroic averages at 1500 REQ points per game, and games last around 10-20 minutes. Assuming your won 6 warzone games at minimal time (10 minutes) its about 9000 REQ Points per hour. Now lets assume your using a RP. With a RP, you’ll get around 2000-3000 REQ points per game depending on your time. Assuming you take minimal time (10 minutes) and you complete 6 games, with maximum REQ points gained (3000 REQ points) you’ll be getting around 18000 REQ points per hour. That’s A LOT of REQ points. To make matters better, you also have to throw in the commendations, which all comes down to your performance. So now, lets assume you played 3 hours today, and got 3000 REQ points every game. Congrats! You have 54000 REQ points, plus commendations (depends on performance). Now lets assume you are way to addicted to Halo and play 16 hours. Before I tell you how many REQ points you got, please see a doctor, and take a day-long break from gaming. Alright, you played 16 hours of Halo, won all your games with 3000 REQ points. You just earned, 288000 REQ points (plus commendations). I hope this forum post helps people out. What are you still doing reading? Get out there and grind!
NOTE: If anyone is still reading, DON’T COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I SAID THE WORD “REQ”
A better solution is (and this works best for new accounts, mind you), is to sell all REQs aside from Arena RP boosts and grind out Arena/Social BTB to get a load of REQ points.
Sell all REQS from Commendations, rank ups, and any other packs you get.
You’ll end up with a lot of RP, very easily.
EDIT: If it’s armor that you crave or a crack at the (surprisingly) rare visors, then we’ve got the London Finals coming up. I think they’re going to be giving away more Platinums and Golds.

Your right about heroic being more available than mythic soo it is a better option since you can play it anytime not just on the weekend. But your point about 6 games an hour just isn’t happening. The average game times are right around 15 mins then you have to take into account search times and intro outro screens.
I would say you could play 4 games an hour on average. I have played a lot of Fire Fight soo I know all the payouts you get. You will get right around 2000 RP if you finish all 5 rounds without a boost. If you have a boost you could get up to about 5000 depending on the rarity of the boost. I don’t know where you got your numbers from but they seem to be a little off. You need to look at the averages to figure out your hourly to earnings. Going for best case scenario isn’t very realistic. I have found getting about 8000 RP an hour is pretty consistent without a boost.

I have a feeling you just want us noobs in BTB to better your chances of getting a nice sniper clip.

Nah, my Gold sub ran out, and I’m not going to buy any more, so you’re safe from my terrible sniper skills.
You forgot to add to play with a team. There’s no way you’re getting 10 minute games every time with a bunch of randoms. I’ve played a ton of solo games and I hardly ever get 10 minute games. I think the average game times you’ll get are around 13-17 minute games. Don’t really pay attention to RP, but for XP, short games aren’t that great if you aren’t doing a long play session for the short game advantage to add up. Quick 10-12 minute games usually end up in the high 8K, low 9K range.
I’d say to avoid BTB for the Arena comment. With Arena, you want to do playlists that are quick so you can get a lot of games in per session. They give less XP, but the amount of games can add up. In BTB, one game can last up to 20 minutes which can eat up your play session time. I’m mentioning XP, but I’m guessing RP is similar.

Nah, Warzone Firefight is PvE, so I can’t do damage to players, also, I’m just in it for the grind

Yeah, lately it seems like I’ve been seeing more and more afk boosters in firefight. I hope I’m not the only one reporting those jerks. Nobody is going to be impressed by your rank if you get it from going into firefight and touching the control stick every minute just so you don’t get inactivity booted.
I hope topics like this aren’t contributing to the problem, either. I see a lot of topics get made where someone asks “what’s the best playlist for XP” and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are just asking so they can go afk boost. Yes, it’s true you get a lot of XP and RP from playing firefight, but going into the firefight playlist is something you should only do if you enjoy playing firefight, ok people? Don’t be a -Yoink- to your teammates who are actually trying to win.
Best way by far is to play warzone with a full team of 12. You get the same amount for dominating in a 6-8 minute match as you do a 20 minute match of firefight.

Thank you for saying this. I also encounter those afk folks in Shotty Snipers. So frustrating.
In terms of solo play, I find Warzone Assult to give better RP than Heroic Firefight, but less XP. Assult has more commendations you can complete, and you can always sell the items from the commendation packs for RP.
