Hey All,
New user to Halo 5. Can someone fill me in on how to best approach a different loadout? Do I need permanent loadout cards in order to not start with a battle rifle? Also, I have received permanent REQ cards for the SAW and Appetite for Destruction. Can I loadout with those, or do I use those cards when I die and respawn? Any tips and tricks are greatly appreciated.

You’ll need to get your REQ level and energy up before calling in any sort of card in a Warzone match. Loadout weapons can be used infinitely and will not drain energy (IE- once you unlock your BR at REQ level 3, you can spawn with it for the rest of the game); power weapons and vehicles are single use per card and will drain energy (You won’t be able to call in two Sniper Rifles unless your have more than one card and let your energy refill between) .
Permanent Weapon Unlocks can be equipped when you reach a certain req rank in warzone, with the permanent saw card you are now obligated to earn Saw Req cards in Req Packs. Special weapons cannot be used unlimited times but standard weapons can used unlimited times (if you have the certification).
Im sorry if I confused you I would suggest that you read the menus better or maybe somebody can explain it better.
Standard Weapons are BR,AR,SMG, Pistol and Dmr. if you have the certification for those you only need to reach the req rank.
The Other weapons including vehicles are not permanent but you still need Req rank. And when you get a certificate for those things you get a chanche to earn more of those Cards in a Pack.
So hopefully that is better.
This is tremendously helpful. Thank you all.
To be clear, if my goal is to have my load-out change from BR to AR/SMG/DMR, I can do that, but I’ll need my certification for that. How do I get that certification and reach the REQ rank? Is it killing people with that weapon to increase the commendation?
