Rng Rewards

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I have not played the game since the release or maybe sometime after, cant really remember.
I just know one reason I stopped playing was because every reward in the game was rng and behind loot boxes.

Has the game been given any rewards that require skill instead of luck?

To be fair, no Halo game has ever rewarded anything for “skill”.

It’s been mostly playtime, which Achilles (In H5) [which is sorta good-looking] is obtained.

You will never be able to argue with me that any armor was obtained through “skill” in any other Halo game because it took 10 minutes to get.

The Achilles armor set requires a skill to get. It’s a basic skill, but it’s still a skill. Getting a helmet for getting your forge map into the game is a bit of luck, but making the map is a skill. You can still play the campaigns in MCC and unlock stuff in H5. The armor is available in REQ packs, but you could still get it the hard way if you don’t have it yet.

I’m not sure if you’d consider these “skill”, but these are the armors that you cannot earn through the req system.

Achilles and Olive are the only ones that require some sort of skill. Timmy can be farmed solo over like 3 days while you go to school/work and sleep as long as you have a rubber band. Besides that, everything else is acquired through REQ packs.

Sucks really, since all the prior games required you to complete a goal of some kind for every piece of armor. And yeah, a lot of them, at least, required skill. That’s why I’m a huge fan of Achilles. It looks sick and is incredibly rewarding to unlock.

That’s true but personally, I would have liked more armors that players can unlock individually, instead of something which can encourage groups to farm commendations

There was an armour that required skill till it became available in gold packs.

I love Helioskrill
