Hey, so I know in this next update there are a TON of weapon skins coming out. None of them are really my cup of tea and I still haven’t found any skins I like to use, but to each their own. I just have one suggestion to 343.
You should make some skins that are ONI designs. They should all be very minimalist. Just matte black with an ONI symbol somewhere on it, but don’t go over board with it and make it all flashy. These skins should feel like something ONI operatives use when they’re black bagging someone, and as such should look pretty stealthy. Now I know that all the other weapons are already black except for the AR, but I still think they could do something different with a design like this. I feel like too many of the weapon skins have way too much going on, and most of the time I can’t use one for long periods of time just because I get tired of it.
But yeah that’s it. 343 should just make some cool ONI weapon skins.
Anyone else really love any of the weapon skins so far?
If they’re going to give me skins, i want military ones. Imagine a dmr with material on it.
Noble Blue team and ODST are all really good skins so are clash potence and bloodthirst
i would like the same higher quality skins they make for just the pistil and AR to be made for all the weapons
There’s plenty of skins and other useless customization things in Halo 5 at this point. There’s gotta be something more worthwhile for the fine folks at 343 to spend their time on that actually adds something to the game besides some nonsense that I can’t see and doesn’t improve gameplay in anyway. Just my 2 cents.
Wouldn’t mind seeing a darker palette for skins, like a black and red, solid black, or various kinds of camos. It would be even better it we could change the color our selves
I’m personally a fan of the colour theme skins (Last dawn, Green Machine, Blue Steel) but your ONI skin sound cool. I also think the should add some camp skins like Arctic from H4.

they should do a Black and/or Red themed set. they should also bring back the bloodsplatter skin from H4.
I like the UNSC skin on my AR.
I also have Blue Steel on the DMR & Mag.

I always thought Halo should have Battlefield-like military skins besides the colored variants we have now.
Not a bad idea. I could see a this being implemented.
Personally, I really like the Gold Standard skins. They just look good.
What you’re describing is the Osiris skin, but with an ONI emblem.

No, nothing like that. I’m talking about just a flat black color scheme with one small ONI symbol maybe close to the trigger or something. This skin would mostly be black. Think the design of the ONI hog/mongoose/tank. Basically that but on the AR. The Osiris skin’s got a little too much going on for me.
I like OP’s idea.
I’d also like to see more colors than blue for the “generic” skins, or maybe some expansion of existing skins (e.g. Lagrange on the rest of the loadout weapons). Two releases in a row with primarily blue themed weapon skins kind of seems excessive when there’s already three other blue themed (or at least mostly blue themed) skins with Bracer, Ruptive, and Prestige, but that’s just me.
Military camo would also be pretty cool, but a few others in the thread already mentioned that.

You might not like customization but a lot of people do so they aren’t useless

The SoF skins look pretty cool to me.

Just because someone likes them doesn’t mean they aren’t useless. And they are. Sorry, but they are whether you or anyone likes them. Armor mods/Weapon skins couldn’t be more useless. Whats their point, other than to show you’ve played or opened more REQ packs than someone else. If they add something other than to show those kinds of things I mentioned, please fill me in I’d love to know what they add.
Oni inspired skins sound like a great idea. I also think that it’s a missed opportunity to not have tundra skins considering they have tundra skinned vehicles…I’ve always liked winter camos and we have a lot of snow maps…

Its not useless because it gives people incentive to play which is very important they for the most part not affect gameplay but they keep people playing and thats the important part
I like your idea, since I want at least straight-up-black weapon skins. The keyword I picked out was matte and I’ll say I don’t agree there. Gloss is good if it’s not like a sports car and barely reflects light. BARELY. I’m going to link a reference if I can find one, but most of the guns in Rainbow Six Siege are black, and the best looking black in my opinion is on the Ruskies 9x19VSN. It’s got an black-that’s-actually-black paintjob with enough gloss to make it look like a black metal.
I also made a suggestion of a Black skin with highlights of blue and white. I’ll only link that if OP’s ok with it and people also want to see it.

Well, it’s useful to me. Especially in Halo, since it allows me to play the game more. I’ve started to go back to liking front loaded magazine rifles better, and everything seems to be bullpup in design except for the pistol (a given) and Sniper (possibly shotgun as well) in Halo.
So seeing a simple black weapon skin is really helpful to me enjoying my Halo experience.
