Need some advice here… I’ve been working hard since the release of Halo 5 to get through all of the commendations (personal goal over that time). I’m about to wrap up Warden kills, have all the weapons, am behind in the vehicles (played Arena almost exclusively for the first 70 levels or so of my Spartan rank) but know how to get each of those and it’ll just take time, and there’s only a handful of game mode ones to finish up along with the “And Stay Off…” annoying one that is pure luck it seems to get.
BUT…
Good lord, those last two Breakout commendations ones are tough. I need some advice on how to get them please!
What I’ve found so far…
-
Both of them seem to be easier to obtain in Action Sack. Survive three rounds for Unstoppable, vs. 5.
-
“Against All Odds” may not be as hard to get as I’d previously thought. If I do Tank World, and merely survive a round of 2v1, I believe you get it, even if you didn’t actually WIN the 1v2 round at that point. If that’s the case, it won’t be as bad to acquire as I’d thought, but I only figured that out yesterday.
Thoughts?
You’re correct on Action Sack being your best friend for the Unstoppable commendation. If you have a good team that works together, you can knock out that commendation fast with Mantis Breakout, Tank World, and Paintball Junkies.
As for the Against All Odds commendation, that one would probably be easiest in the regular Breakout playlist, you have at least a couple chances at earning it per game. When it comes to Action Sack, you’re going to have to wait to get lucky on a Breakout game mode (it’s not incredibly rare, I know), but those game modes are much tougher when outnumbered than regular Breakout.
I say go for your Unstoppable commendation first in Action Sack, then switch to regular Breakout for the Against All Odds commendation.
Action sack is a great place for breakout commendations…paintball,mantis breakout,and tank world make it alot easier to max out those commendations
Action sack has helped me put a serious dent in these commendations. More often than not people seem to quit out or afk these gametypes so it makes for an easy win if you’re on the team that benefits.
I feel like the against all odds commendation became harder with the new breakout. If you are the last man now the enemy team often just pulls the flag forcing you to come out and get wrecked. Because everyone has full sheilds players are more willing to grab the flag and try to cap without killing everyone. In addition, I think there is a glitch with getting bifecta’s etc in action sack. I have won many rounds as last man and outnumbered but haven’t gotten credit. I’m personally going to wait and see if 343 changes breakout again before continuing this grind.

The new breakout makes it way easier in my opinion. I’m grinding those same 2 commendations. You don’t have to win the match to get the immortal medal. Stay on your side of the map. Don’t die. Plan to push for that medal from the start of the match. That’s all I’m gonna say about that lol. (I need 39 more ugh)
The trifecta and bifecta medals will come with aggressive play, but it helps if you are on their end of the map forcing them to come to you with the flag. i had a similar thing happen with the trifecta medal. I was in a 3v1 ( I was the 1), I killed 2 but the 3rd guy scored the flag, so I lost but didn’t die. i got the medal. That was today. Doesn’t make sense though because I’m pretty sure I’ve been in a 2v1 when they cap the flag and got nothing. Gonna test that further.
Breakout commendations is pretty hard to get when eveyone is similar rank, but now when gold are in the same games as champions it’s even worse. unless it puts all gold on the enemy team which makes it a cake walk .
