Armor Permutation Unlocking thread

[Hotrod]

Hey, I was wondering how to get a certain piece of armor, the Scout shoulder pads, and I decided that it might be a good idea if I made a thread that people could post how to unlock every different piece of armor.

P.S, I still want to know how to get the scout shoulders.

This list is wrong, in so many ways. Scout isnt by the too close to the sun achievement. I have the achievement, no helm. Hayabusa is from 13 skulls, not just 1.


This thread is pointless, how to unlock everything has been posted already

[Hotrod]

Scout isnt by the too close to the sun achievement. I have the achievement, no helm.

Well, that's how I got the Scout chest plate. Maybe it's different for everybody.

[Dal]

No, it's not different for everyone; your observations are incorrect.

[Timo]

Katana Body Armour:
http://xs220.xs.to/xs220/07406/PlayerModel.ashx.jpg
It's available when you get all 49 achievements. :o

[TeeKup]

You get the Scout shoulders from the Mongoose Mowdown achievment.

The Scout Helmet from the Used Car Salesman achievment. (first one I ever got.)

And the Scout Armor from the Too Close to The Sun achievment.

[leorimolo]

Its by # of gamerscore and yes that list is horribly wrong

[Hotrod]

Ok then, I'll change the list. It's wierd though, I ran over a guy in matchmaking and got the ODST helmet, but it never said that I got the achievement, so I din't get the Scout shoulder pads. I also killed a vehicle with more than 3 people in it, and never got that achievement either, but my brother got it. Do you have to do these things in Single Player, or Multiplayer? I did the "Too Close To The Sun" in SP.

[Superman]

Thats weird, i've done the same, but never got the achievements or the spartan armor parts

I did those in single player, All I did for used car salesman was knock a turret off a phantom in the first level when the grunts were still in it.

[Hotrod]

Wait, does the vehicle itself actually have to die? I shot at a Prowler with 3 brutes in it, and killed them all, but the vehicle was still alive. This was on heroic. I'll try the Mongoose Mowdown on Single Player though, I hope it works.

For the Too Close to the Sun achievment the vehicle MUST be destroyed. The Mongoose Mowdown HAS to be online, I've ran over so many brutes in the mongoose its ridiculous.

Ok, does the Mongoose Mowdown have to be on a specific gametype or something like that? I've an over people with a Mongoose twice already, once in a ranked match, and once in an unranked match, and I still don't have the armor.

[Dal]

It has to be in lone wolves.

[IPBJT!]

Lone Wolves playlist only, ranked.

[Hotrod]

Ok, thank you, I'll try it just to confirm it.

[Co Redsonic]

HOw do you unlock the Recon chest plate?

[LinkandKvel]

The Halo 1 Armor is available. The Mark V. Not sure how to get it though.

[Co Redsonic]

Yeah, only the helmet though. I dont know how to get it though...how do you unlock the Recon chest plate!?

[Hotrod]

HOw do you unlock the Recon chest plate?

It's a Bungie only permutation.

EDIT : Also, I updated the first page with the right way to get all of the helmets (I hope).

[TeeKup]

The Mark V chest IS the E.O.D. Chest.

Commando shoulders for the Elites are still not showing up, and I've had every achievement and every other armor since the beginning of the month. Glitch of some sort or something? I want my Elite PIMPED OUT.

There's been errors with the Commando armor, people have been "unlocking" it, but haven't been getting the actual armor.

My player off of my service record, which hasn't updated to show my rogue helmet.

[Co Redsonic]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nice Spartan.

[t3h m00kz]

Indeed, someone else has all the achievements too, OH SHIIIIT :O

Looks pretty cool, but you should have posted this in the "Post Your Player Models" thread, not here.

[Co Redsonic]

Eh, his mistake. and what do you mean by Bungie permutation...?

[Hotrod]

and what do you mean by Bungie permutation...?

Only Bungie's employees and a select few from the community can have that certain permutation.

[JDMFSeanP]

Oh my bad, sorry guys D:

And that is not confirmed for Recon yet as Bungie has not said it.

[Jay2645]

Somehow, I don't think we've seen ALL the armor yet.
I have a feeling we'll unlock SOMETHING once someone gets every medal you can receive in ranked Matchmaking.
Yes, that includes the ever-elusive Steaktacular. I cannot kill 5 guys in one game who are trying to kill me with energy swords, unless I'm stupid enough to stand in a power drainer, which would deactivate the energy sword, but would drain my shields as well.

It deactivates swords?

Huh.

Does it disable the LED on the AR and BR, the sniper's electronic scope, and disable stickies too? That'd be awesome.

[t3h m00kz]

I actually got SteakTacular.. I don't know how and I didn't even know what it was, but.. well, shit. Lol.

[JDMFSeanP]

Its when you beat the other team by more than 20 kills, as luke did in a match against frankie when they bet a steak dinner on it.

[Jay2645]

Wait.
I thought it was you killed a guy AS they lunged at you with the sword.

[Xetsuei]

Wait.
I thought it was you killed a guy AS they lunged at you with the sword.

That's bulltrue.

[Jay2645]

Ah.

Well, a Bull IS a boy cow, and cows=steak, so...

[ExAm]

I have two steaktaculars :P

[Co Redsonic]

Then what is the officail way to get a Steaktacular????

[Timo]

You get it by winning a slayer game by 20 or more points. I have 13 :)

[PlasbianX]

Then what is the officail way to get a Steaktacular????


Win a game with a difference of over 20 in the scores.

Example:
You would get the medal if you were on red team, and won 50 to 25 (more than 20) but wouldnt if you wont 50 to 45 (less than 20)

[Sever]

19 or more points fools!

[ExAm]

20. Google it.
