I’ve found that keeping a record/spreadsheet of the REQs you need helps you a great deal getting that special armor you’ve been wanting. This won’t increase your chances, of course, but it will help you know you’re getting closer.
This has probably been known for awhile, and many of you probably do it. For those of you who do use a spreadsheet for recording REQs- how’s it looking for you?
For those who don’t, I suggest that you begin. It is a simple process that only takes a few minutes of counting what you don’t have, which is made easy by double tapping Y in the selected category in the Collection Menu.
I hope this helps you get your dream armor.
I will leave a copy and paste below for your use if you plan on doing this. As always, you should go with whatever pack you are currently on (ex. Silver for Rare, Bronze for Common, Gold for anything above Rare)

That’s assuming you grind the -Yoink!- out of WZA, no? At any rate, I’m on Gold Packs and need a total of 820,000 points at the moment to have full completion. Excluding Achilles and some Rare emblems I couldn’t get with Silver (I assume they were Commendation, as they wouldn’t unlock for me)

WZA is the fastest and most efficient way for REQ points, I’ve been playing (grinding) it for…
When was 2 weeks before Thanksgiving? I want to say about November 11th.

Whenever I play Arena, my teammates are monkeys high on acid while my enemies are the super elite NCR Ranger BoS Paladin Spartan Deathsquad. Same story in WZ. WZA I have at least a 50/50 chance of playing with other randoms who don’t use teams.
Edit- Enemies may also have laser guided napalm shark blood in their veins.

But but… i just can’t…the Brotherhood hates the NCR especially the rangers…
Yeah I’m down to my last couple things (probably 300,000 REQ points to go or something like that). I like to relax and not stress about what i’m getting in my gold packs though bc I know i will eventually get the things I want (Helljumper helmets have eluded me thus far, and just about if not every mythic helmet actually has as well)

Now, let’s by derail anymore please. I’m afraid “something that reminds me of a cookie” might “Locke” the thread. Let’s keep it cool, “Chief”.

Helljumper is the one thing I want and it eludes me as well, my friend. Don’t care much for the reskin version, but I don’t have either. Base version is always the best. Halo 5 has great armor but terrible customization.

You did it the way long way if you strictly opened gold packs. If you stick to opening bronze first then silver’s and then gold it will go faster and less req points. Open the packs till they give you req points back that is how you know to move up to the next packs.
This spreadsheet has been a lifesaver for me. The peeps over at /r/Halo have put this together, and edit it as necessary. It includes every REQ, what rarity it is, as well as what pack you can find it in. It includes some formulas telling you how many packs you still need to open, how much REQ points you still need, and, if you are the money spending type, how much money you still need to spend. It also includes a formula for amount of hours left needed to farm REQ points, using data you provide (average game time x average req points per match). You should check it out.

I’ve been recording my progress on an iPod’s notepad, which mine was designed for. This is a good link, thank you.

Thanks for the link. I love the idea of this, but am a bit lazy to manually add in all my armour lol
