Tips for ranking up

I would love to reach max rank in halo 5 (SR 152), but I am at rank 70. This isn’t even halfway there. crud.

Does anybody have any tips for ranking up quickly in Halo 5?

It’s not even 10% of the way there. I’m at 150 and am almost halfway. The XP needed gets insanely high at the later levels, I currently need 11 million to get to 151.

Why do you need to rank up fast? You’ll rank up just by playing, but if getting XP fast is your goal then use XP boosts every game. But you’re going to have to play a lot to get to 152, there is no shortcut.

How long have you been playing? I have been playing halo 5 since January and got to Rank 50ish on my old account and started on my current one in June and hit Rank 70 today. I play on weekends only (usually).

best way to level up is to play warzone assault and use all of your xp boosts, if you really want to get max rank and its all you care about don’t play arena.

WZFF with boosts would be the fastest way. But as stated above, OP you are a long way away. Play for fun, don’t let it become a job to get there. IMO jobs, most of the time sucks!

It’s not something I feel is SUPER important, but it would be nice to do. The Achilles helmet on the other hand…

The Achilles Armour/Helmet are a farmer’s job!!

So overall:

  • Use your XP boosts - Play WZFF and WZA - Stay away from Arena - Reaching max rank takes FOREVERStill:

If you do have any unmentioned tips for how to rank up quickly: put 'em here.

Not to be that guy, but just play, use boots if ya want too. Not much else you can do, other then hack the system lol jk Simple as that bud, just play :slight_smile:

Yup. That’s what I normally do.

Play Firefight. Use XP boosts. Try and play for at least 2-4 hours a day if possible. Binge whenever you can. Be patient :slight_smile:

Try to get more kills/complete the objectives quickly in firefight. You’ll get a slight XP and RP boost if you complete the round, marked as a speed bonus if you check your rankup progression on the post game stats. (Every little bit helps, right?)

I’ve been playing most days since release.

I just play for the fun of it, and have gradually built up the SR score as a by-product to be honest. I think I’m on 122 just now? No idea as I say, I play for the fun. Mostly WZFF these days, but I do like to get a seasonal skill rank medal thing in Arena too. Just the one will do me, wouldn’t want to miss out on a free REQ at the end of the season!

What I do like though is a free REQ pack when you do get promoted! Few more bits & pieces to use in the next rounds.

What I also like is building up 10,000 REQ points and opening a gold pack. Again as a by-product of the fun I’m having I’ve earned heaps of good stuff, and I mean I’ve earned it all, no cheating or farming or anything. Though I’m a member of a team (Spartan Dynasty), I’ve mostly played as a lone wolf, which suits me.

My tips if you want to earn XP points? (and RP for that matter)…don’t want to teach anyone to suck eggs here, but this is my mindset, mostly based on Firefight…

  • Play the games that give more XP (as some have said, WZ Assault and Firefight). Avoid Arena as it is hard to get much XP in those unless you’re awesome (which I’m not!). I think Arena generally awards less anyway? - If Lone Wolf, analyse each situation in the battles and position yourself to give best fire on the enemy from various angles. Sort of surround them I guess is what I mean. - Choose weapons & vehicles so you’re contributing to the best that you can given the team mix you’re among. Eg, if there are three or four Scorpions already, don’t add another, you’ll likely get in each other’s way! Choose REQs (vehicles or weapons) that add to the mix. - Get kills yourself without getting killed (obvious I know!), or at the very least as many Assists as you can muster, and overall try to make your contribution help toward the objective in each round, and a quick one too makes it more rewarding with the points. I’ve noticed some players will go for kills, not necessarily the primary objective, but that’s ok if there are enough playing for the objective in the meantime. - Use XP boosts if you have them.As I said above, I don’t want to teach anyone to suck eggs as I’m no pro player (quite far from it!) but I find particularly in Firefight with that mindset it tends to contribute quite well, I get lots of kills, quick successes in rounds, survival bonus points, and I tend to earn XP and RP points quite well.

See you out there!
Regards

Well said. Far more complete than my “summary”

What do you guys mean by “farming” in the context of the game???

Spawn killing. Not destroying the core, in order to get more kills.

There are incidents where established teams (and most often good players too) hold captive lesser teams and slay them over and over just to get their skills scores higher. It absolutely sucks rhinoceros b*lls when people do it, and I consider it an absolutely disgraceful, unsporting and dishonourable cheat.

There is a recent incident posted on the forum where a team held onto the 3rd flag in a game instead of finishing and winning, just to get kill to death scores of something like 45 kills to 5 deaths for each team member. If the game was to capture the flags and they deliberately chose to do that instead, then they should be reported and have their scores and achievements/awards stripped, imho of course.

Just re-found it: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/6e35355aecdf4fd0acdaee3cc4156fd4/topics/why-i-stay-in-a-game-even-when-i-am-7-28/79c79d47-a6e9-4b8f-8015-e5e5c3927e63/posts?page=1#post20

Despicable behaviour. Just don’t.

1 hint, play a lot Halo 5 and you would probably reach the max rank in 1 year. There are no other ways than playing a lot H5 multiplayer to reach the maximum rank. I’m very soon at SR75 but it will take probably 1 year to reach SR100.
