In halo 5 there is a bunch of armor pieces to collect yet only a few are actually being used for various reasons. In my opinion the main reason is the loot box system, the lower the rarity, the worse it looks(obviously) but that means there is a bunch of armor that won’t be used unless your really new to the game or supimply haven’t unlocked any pieces of armor. I games like Halo reach there was armor you could unlock very easily and very fast but, the armor was EARNED by simply playing the game, earning credits for you spend or save on armor pieces and other cosmetics.
I hope the loot box system for cosmetic items is “removed” from Halo Infinite and future halo games. We have gotten confirmation from 343i that Halo Infinite will have reach-style customisation. I would personally like a cosmetic system like Halo 3, were you completed a specific task like collecting all the skulls in the campaign to unlock a certain armor piece. It’s that or Halo reach style-system.
I have 100% of all cosmetics in the game except the classic helmets from the “classic helmets req pack” yet I still find myself using the same armor like Achilles or Helljumper.
If if you have any armor recommendations leave them below. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I just use the only armor that I earned from MCC achievements. I use the Nightfall torso sometimes, but I just end up using Mk. 6 from MCC. Sometimes I use helmets like Defender and Recon, but that’s rarely if at all.

I bet they made so many different sets and duplicates of each set just to increase the size of the loot box pool. The more items there are the longer you’ll play the game to unlock them and spend money on them. That’s why so many are just copies with random white paint on them and a lot of ugly sets, they weren’t trying to make every one look good, just make a ton of them fast.
H6 will have Reach inspired customization and I assume that just means actually customizing your spartan, I’m wondering what kind of unlock system it will have. I’m hoping a good mix of credit, level, and challenge systems.
My main reason to play Halo 5 over MCC is to unlock Athlon armour. I’m in LOVE with it’s design, and it should have been the default armour for multiplayer.
Yeah I always found it odd on the amount of armor there is. Most of them in my opinion look cool but when you have 5 of the same varient, it gets to be less exciting to get armor and that is part of the joy of playing Halo is being able to get those cool looking armors and customizing which Halo 5 does lack and I hope Infinite does that from what they say to be “Reach” type customization options.
I’ll throw in two of my lesser-used armor combos in H5 as suggestions:
Defender armor + Fenrir helmet - Achilles armor + Deadeye helmetI would throw in Mark VI Satrap + Recon GEN1, but you don’t have the Classic Helmet pack. I’m sure it’ll come back in the near future.

I’ll definitely get the classic helmets, I miss my GEN1 recon from reach and halo 3…

Ok… it’s like reallly low rarity so it shouldn’t take you too long, even I find myself using the Athlon Championship armor.

I find that very hard to believe considering the the amount of players on Halo 5. Somebody has gotten everything. And used it. I’m honestly 100% sure that I have seen every piece of armor in action.

Some monitor is going to tell you not to post multiple times in a row and to familairize yourself with the edit button. Anyways I was exaggerating yet, I don’t think I’ve seen every piece of armor in action.
