Remaining Commendations

How many Halo 5 commendations do you have remaining? If only a few remain, which ones do you still need to complete?

For me, the only commendations left to complete are “Unstoppable” and “Against All Odds” which are both on level 4/5.
Any tips on how to finish these commendations would be helpful and I’ll try to give tips on any other people are struggling with.

For those two, there really aren’t any helpful tips beyond ‘Don’t Die’. But for “Unstoppable”, getting Paintball and Mantis Breakout in the Action Sack playlist have been the easiest games to make progress on that commendation. For “Against All Odds”, just keep playing Breakout. That’s all there is to it.

For immortals theres 2 ways i did.
1.Get a fireteam of atleast 3 other people and just hide the whole game. You can do it with less people but the chances of the randoms betraying you are high.
2. Derank and go against noobs.
(3.) Action Sack?

For Against All Odds theres only one way i did it.

  1. Derank and when you are last man standing, go MLG on them.

i need spartan charges and ground pounds still. i just dont go for them
and then im also missing a bunch of arena ones, but i dont play arena so idc that im not going to finish them

I have a few left, but the ones that come to mind are the two you listed, and those darn phaeton kills. Oh and lets not forget the mongoose destroyer. Good times…

I don’t feel like there is a really good playlist for spartan charges, but I’ve gotten a lot in Social Skirmish since there are a lot of new players in there. As for ground pounds, I used to get them in BTB, but Ground Pound Arena in Action Sack is probably the best way now; basically ground pound back down grav lifts anytime you see them.

Phaeton destroys are probably going to happen most in firefight so I suggest stocking up on lasers or rockets and going into Heroic firefight. Mongoose destroys were my final vehicle commendation, but I found that BTB was the best place to get them (specifically the map Basin). On Basin there are 2 gungoose and 2 hydra launchers, fire all 6 shots when locked onto a mongoose to destroy it; you can get a few per game that way.

The breakout variants in Action Sack are definitely the best place to get “Unstoppable”, but there are now more gametypes in Action Sack and so you tend to get those ones less now. Also I thought the original version of breakout was better for the “Against All Odds” commendation because with low/no shields it was much easier to win a 1v2,3,4 than it is now that everyone has full shields and shotguns.

The ones I have left are:

  • Mongoose Destroyer (Level 5, 16/50) - Bulldozer (Level 5, 28/30) - Unstoppable (Level 2, 5/6) - Mine! (Level 4, 34/50) - Against All Odds (Level 1, 2/3) - Aggressive Expansion (Level 2, 4/6) - Defender of the Flag (Level 3, 20/30 - Carrier Takedown (Level 4, 30/50) - Stronghold Victory (Level 4, 7/25) - Flag Victory (Level 4, 4/25) - Wonderful Toys (Level 5, 5/30) - Head in the Game (Level 5, 7/100) - Breakout Victory (Level 5, 2/50) - And Stay Off (Level 4, 8/25)

emperor nova01, many of those you need are fairly self explanatory, but for “Aggressive Expansion” I suggest playing BTB and sneaking around to points where your team has a large presence. “And Stay Off” is probably easiest in SWAT if you look at places where people usually clamber since you only need 1 shot to kill.

Yeah, most of them are incomplete because I don’t play a lot of Arena. For “And Stay Off”, I find Infection to be fairly useful when I play as a survivor.

The only thing I have left are the game mode ones. I’m slowly hitting those. Every time I get a game of diminishing kinds I go for the rockets, cause it counts for the 'Wonderful toys" one for some reason. When I finish that I should net the IRIS emblem which I actually want.

Unstoppable L4 9/15
Firefight Victory L5 27/60
Against All Odds L3 2/9
Mongoose Destroyer L4 21/25
Rockethog Gunner L5 38/50
Warthog Gunner L5 33/50
Gausshog Gunner L3 6/15
Gungoose Gunner L4 6/25
Warthog Destroyer L5 5/50

That’s odd since I don’t think Diminishing Kings is a Slayer variant unless you can change a lot more in the game type settings than I thought, but I’ve noticed some other commendation descriptions that don’t exactly match up to how you can actually get the medals needed to complete them. For example, “Against All Odds” says you have to win while alone and outnumbered, but I’ve found that just surviving while alone and outnumbered works too (maybe not if the other team caps the flag, but there’s no flag in the Action Sack breakout games).

Well, I’m finished with weapon commendations
I’ve got to do rocket warthog, mongoose, phaeton and gausshog kills, and then destroy like two more wraiths and get a lot more splatters
I’m not even going to get started on arena commendations.

All I need is the warden eternal slayer commendation, 12 vehicle commendations and around 12 game based commendations.

Any tips on mongoose destroyer? I hardly ever see people driving them and when they do i kill the player before I’m able to destroy the vehicle.

Play BTB to get mongoose destroys, there are a few maps on which you can get them, but Basin is the best (see below).

I found that going into firefight and being “that guy” who steals warden kills by assassinating them (10% health or less) was the easiest way to complete that commendation. Sitting back with a powerful req (arclight, nornfang, scorpion) also works too, but it was less reliable for me.

I have a few more. Breakout is easy. Just keep playing it.

I still say we need a game mode that had clambering mongooses that have zero shields.
Lol I have all the break out ones and a lot of area. Only reason I have some break out is because of action sac.
I still don’t see why break out ones are made for the person that hides or deranks to get. Seems to be against the game mode in its self.
I have warden left for mobs.
Spartan laser and light rifle for weapons.
