So it appears that with the february update 343I will make Helioskril (One of the few armors you had to actually work for) available for everyone through the REQ system.
February REQ’s
2 variants nontheless.
I ask, why? why make an armor that was supposedly hard to obtain available like this? oh right 343I does not know the definition of exclusive (just like what they did with Halo 4 GOTY edition)
So 343I while you are at it why not also make Achilles variants so everyone can get that too without grinding Spartan COmpany commendations?
Every update you seem to screw things even more.
Im really impressed how can you guys keep taking such terrible decisions?
Also the variants dont look that different from the original.
Is it really that bad of a change? Really? It’s the same thing as when Recon was given to everyone, if you earned it, you earned it. If you got it for free, you got it for free. Hell, I don’t even wear Recon in Halo 3 and refuse to until I complete all the Vidmasters so I can feel as though I earned it. The same will be for Helioskrill.
Does your armor still look badass? Yes? Then what’s your problem?

Yes it is.
If you are saying something is exclusive it should stay that way, sure some people don’t care and thats fine but us who went through the buggy mess that is MCC well it is a slap in the face.
I mean if people really wanted the armor they could meet the requirements for it but no, how about we give everyone a participation trophy?

The problem is that there is no point on actually chasing after something (In this case Helioskril) it was supposed to be one of the few armors that had specific requirements to obtain, how about if everyone wanted it the should of complied with the requirements?
I mean if this is the mindset then why not just go ahead and remove the requirements for Achilles and just grant it for free via the REQ system?
I am sure no one would mind or should mind either right? especially not the companies that have been created just to achieve this armor, or those who already unlocked it (Whiskey, Party Up Gaming, The Sauna)
You seemed surprised OP. It’s 343. They do what they want to do and don’t care about the community

Just like they did with Halo 4 GOTY wich included all “Exclusive” armor including the “Exclusive Console” armor FOTUS
Yup 343I usual practices.
Wasn’t it said by the devs already that it was in REQ packs before this update?

Nope.
Helioskril WAS on REQ packs at the very beginning, then it got removed because it was supposed to be an award for finishing all Legendary campaigns on MCC.
Just like Nightfall and other armors were removed as they were tied to specific tasks.
I don’t see a mythic symbol on them.

Seems they are legendary, 2 skin variants.
Still even if it is not the “Original Helioskril” is still a dissapointment that others can get the armor “With a slightly different paint job”
Wont be surprised if on March or a couple months from now we get “Achilles” variants rendering the grind for Spartan Company commendations useless.
Probably because they said that it would be unlockable from REQ from the get go, this is them just making good on their word.

Then why did they remove it to begin with?
And we know it was removed because players with all REQ’s except Helioskril confirmed that they could not get the armor out of the packs.
If it was supposed to be on the REQ system from the get go they should have left it there, and that way many of us would of not bothered to put up with their disaster wich was MCC and the legendary campaings full of lag and such.
100% agree with OP.
It’s not that it is that hard to obtain it (I like playing legendary and SLASO) if you’re a Halo veteran, but it feels a bit -yoinkish- that they take away the “exclusivity” of it.
Now Achilles will be the only armor (besides the ugly nightfall) with unlock requirements) and I guess it’s just a matter of time until it gets a new paintjob too and only it’s body looks cool, the helmet is ugly.
I think I will still use helioskrill because it looks just BA and especially the body armor looks awesome.
Besides this issue feb. Update looks great so far, especially since we are getting more color options, the hammer and a -Yoink!- space map
Muahahahaha!! All your helioskrill are belong to me!

I wouldnt be surprised if we saw this Achilles variants later down the road as well.
ok so first off, i don’t see heliosrkill on that list
second, maybe you need helioskril unlocked in the first place? fingers crossed.

I believe it was bugged?
Just because they are adding it as a REQ, doesn’t mean it will be a random drop. They could just as easily tie it to more SR commendations. The assist and gametype commendations currently have no rewards.

Look at the distinctive helmet silhouettes to the side of the jumpmaster dispatcher.
Big deal. Nothing is ever exclusive anymore. People will still need to work to unlock the original one, it’s not like they’re giving it away for nothing to people.
