HOW TO BUY REQ PACKS IN HALO 5
Alright, so you might be thinking, "Of course I know how to buy a REQ pack, it's easy!"
It's actually not that simple. From what I've been seeing on bnet is that many people don't know how the system works! Too many times have I seen people say that they can't get any good things out of gold packs when they're early on in the game. [b]You must start with bronze packs, and work your way up to gold.[/b] Here is what the individual packs will give you:
[b]Bronze[/b] (1,250 points): 1 permanent unlock from [u]Common--> Uncommon[/u] REQs (not guaranteed)
[b]Silver[/b] (5,000 points): 2 permanent unlocks from [u]Common--> Rare[/u] REQs
[b]Gold[/b] (10,000 points): 2 permanent unlocks from [u]Uncommon--> Legendary[/u] REQs
Rarity levels are Common-->Uncommon-->Rare-->Ultra Rare-->Legendary
Do you see how large of a pool gold packs pick REQs from? This is why you would get things like uncommon ARs or a Tundra Warthog from a gold pack. It really is a HUGE waste of time and effort to only go for the gold when you could be quickly knocking these things out with a bronze pack, which you'll usually be able to purchase after one game of Warzone/Warzone Assault.
With this information, here's one of the most effective ways I've found to use your REQ points when you're going for ultra rare/legendary REQs:
1. Buy bronze packs until you unlock all of the common and uncommon REQs (Loadout, power weapons, vehicles, armor).
2. Move up to silver packs to knock out any uncommon REQs you may have missed, and all of the rare REQs.
3. At this point, you're [i]golden[/i]. Keep buying gold packs until you've gotten 100% in everything and have at least 50 Nornfangs.
Hopefully I've covered everything, feel free to add to the post/make suggestions if you like. Note that you don't have to exactly follow that method. That's just the one I've been using which has worked out well for me for a while now.
TL;DR - Don't waste all of your REQ points on gold packs right away. Work your way up from bronze, to silver, and finally up to gold so you would have a higher chance of receiving good items.

Hey, so me and my roomie have been debating these methods and I found something that noone here has mentioned. If you skip bronze and silver, and just hit gold, then early on you get ultra rare and legend perm reqs, and all of your packages you get will have those drops coming out of them. I have only gotten gold packs and I have stacks of 60ish of many of my ultra-rare legendary items, where as in my roomie, who went bronze then silver then gold, very very rarely gets ultra rare/legend non-perms. Also, all of the silver packs that get thrown my way for doing in game things are full of uncommon and rate items, very rarely common items, and his are usually half or more common. If you don't care about completing your checklist, but just want your packages to drop awesome things, and not tons of crappy commons, it may be better to skip bronze and silver packs and just rush gold.

1 ReplyYou stupid? Bronze = Common REQs Silver = Common to Rare REQs Gold = Uncommon to Legendary REQs.

Edited by Onxide: 1/27/2016 4:14:10 PMNever wasted points on bronze lol wasn't worth it IMO. Went str8 to silvers then golds. I still have common stuff I haven't unlocked, even though I only have a few legendaries and mythics left.

Mfw I have 3 weapon skins for the dmr but I don't have a dmr...[spoiler]i crie eri tiem[/spoiler]

Just getting back into Halo 5 due to this new update (I love Halo, but other games have been calling me) This is going to take forever.
-
I'm up to Gold now, or I was until the January REQ Flood happened >:@

2 RepliesAlso you can only get up to a hundred of a non-permanent item. After you get a hundred of that item. The item will not be in the drop tables.

3 RepliesWRONG silver guarantees. Go silver then gold. Why waste on bronze. I had probably more than half the items before I stopped playing (fuking ark)
-
This method is how I got everything in the game
-
Thank you. I wouldn't have ever known that
-
3 RepliesI've only got 64 silvers left until I start buying gold.
-
I'm lucky so I just buy gold packs
-
So if I want the Argus set, it's better to get every other item and then get a gold pack? I was hoping I'd just get lucky one of these days and get it.
-
I did this and now I'm stuck getting shitty ultra rares everytiem ;(
-
bronze packs cannot give permanent uncommons as far as I know this takes a long ass time to do
-
Thats what ive been doing
-
This was on a YouTube video so yeah... I knew and was ahead of the curve
-
Thanks for the tips
-
Edited by Onxide: 1/26/2016 5:43:07 AMI only have a few Mythics and Legendaries to unlock at this point lol. I pretty much unlocked everything by now. Me and our company are going to grind to get that new set of Achilles armor when the new update drops.
-
I'm trying to get cool stuff from REQ packs, but they kept releasing more common-uncommon stuff. :( Otherwise, yeah. Been buying silvers recently. After at least 3 silver openings, started to get better stuff from gold packs. (104 ways to die assassination drop FTW!)

Edited by Walla: 1/26/2016 4:10:01 AMEh I've gotten a lot of bronzes without getting any new unlocks so I switched to silver packs even though I have a couple commons left. Also an easy way to tell if you're done with certain REQ packs is you'll get a refund of points whenever you buy that pack, and some people claim you get the Nadir emblem when you finish bronze packs.

2 Replies[quote]1. Buy bronze packs until you unlock all of the common and uncommon REQs (Loadout, power weapons, vehicles, armor). 2.

Would also like to add you should put the rarity order (Common -> Uncommon -> Rare -> Ultra Rare -> Legendary) in the OP.

1 ReplyBronze isn't a guaranteed permanent unlock when you open one, plus it only gives 1 out.

4 RepliesEdited by Reign of Bane: 1/26/2016 3:18:21 AMThis system is the way I am doing it too. Got my fifth DMR and it was from another silver pack. Once the Silvers are done I am on to gold.

4 RepliesBut I want armor and cosmetics.

1 ReplyYep. All I have left now is a few ultra rates, and legendaries.
