The "Right of Passage" Challenge!!

So I’ve talked myself into playing things very literally in Infinity Slayer. This thread is a sort of sign-up sheet for those who want to join me in achieving this challenge.

The challenge itself is simple, but sticking with it is going to be the hard part.

While playing through the Infinity gametypes that allow you to use your own loadouts (Infinity Slayer and Spartan Ops), play only using your custom loadouts that you have unlocked as you progress through the ranks. Weapons and ordnance that you pick up after you spawn are acceptable, but using a default loadouts is prohibited.

Seems easy, right? Well… self-control is going to play a huge role in this. It’s going to be a long, strenuous process and, at times, it will be very tempting to use a loadout with that one gun that you have yet to unlock yet.

(Correct my numbers, because I’m sure they are wrong) At about the rank of SR42, everything is unlocked for purchase(excluding Specializations), but you will not have enough Spartan Points to purchase everything until the rank of SR50. This means you will have to plan for what you want and be pretty stingy with your points if you are trying to get something specific.

The basic concept is that you only have available that which you have earned in your progression and handouts (default loadouts) are not available.

Either comment that you will be attempting this custom challenge or thank this post to mark your attendance. I’ll try to keep the list updated as we go :wink:

I’m up for the challenge! I was considering doing this already.

So are there default loadouts in addition to whatever your custom one is in infinity slayer? Similar to how CoD does it, with their 5 premade loadouts and your 5 custom loadouts.

No. There will be ONE premade loadout per map, but it is map specific.

OT: I will totally take this challenge, OP!

I thought there was two presets per map.

Last I heard, there was one. But, I could be wrong.

ill take the challenge!

PS: i think there are 2 preset loadouts

Sounds fun. I’ll give it a go.

Was going to do this. Map default classes are no fun! AR on Ragnarok, BRING IT!!

Hmm… anybody want to submit a better name than “Purist?” I’ll make a poll with the best suggestions!

Hmm… How does “Right of Passage” sound?

Or “The Gauntlet”?

you can put my name on the list!

double post

I’m in!

This sounds like an awesome challenge, I’m in. And by unlocking everything by SR34, do you mean we can see the item as in Reach?

11 Days left…

count me in! might not last long, but will try anyway! lets hope the loadouts arent bad overpower abuses like in CoD, though seeing how the power weapons arent in the loadouts, im fine

Exactly. You will have the ability to access everything, but not the cash to afford it.

Just putting it out there:
The hardest part will probably be armor abilities. I don’t think you get an AA for hte first few levels so it is gonna be rough :confused:

Alrighty, roster is updated and a new list has been added to list the already suggested names. When we get two more good suggestions, I’ll open a poll so we can pick what teh group want to use!

Yeah, I’m pretty keen to give this a go!
I assume we’re legitimately allowed to take a sneaky look at the weapons in Forge though, right? Just not spawn with them in MM until we unlock them.
