So without a doubt if you've played Halo: Reach, you know about the vast choices of the armory.  Within the armory, there are various add-ons for your Spartan, like visors, knee guards and helmets.  I'm going to review the helmets, specifically the coveted Pilot variant, Haunted, and how to theoretically to get it.

Follow up:

Some sources say you have to be Inheritor rank to unlock the helmet.  Others say you have to buy all helmets except those needed through Halo Waypoint.  Even still some sources say you must purchase all helmets and helmet add-ons.  So which is it?

Since so many people have juked up their credits totals via JTagging or other modding, no one really knows.  When you mod to get 2 billion credits, how do you know what rank it takes?  After 20 million credits, you're an Inheritor.

It's fair to reason that the people who have modded to get high credits have not modded to meet the requirements of Halo Waypoint, such as beating Halo: ODST on Hard.  Thus, for the sake of thinking out loud, let's rule out the Waypoint requirements (but not the cost of the helmets).

That leaves a slew of other helmets as well as add-ons, some of which require a certain rank to unlock.  When you unlock a helmet, you don't just get it.  You still have to use credits to buy it. Let's look at the costs of helmets and their add-ons...

Just to get all of the helmets, it would take 1,526,000 credits which would put you at Brigadier Grade 1 if you haven't spent any credits before.  If you have to buy all helmets and add-ons, that's a whopping total of 3,127,501 credits which would put at the rank of Field Marshall.

So how do you get the Haunted Helmet?  I don't think you have to reach the rank of Inheritor.  Why would you ever put the helmet on and ever play again if you were at that rank?

Since it seems that modders just boost credits, it's not likely you have to reach certain Waypoint goals.  At least that's what I'm hoping.

That leaves making rank General to unlock the last helmet then purchasing helmets.  Do you have to get helmets and their add-ons? There are videos that show that you do and that you don't.  Since the videos are of modded systems, it's hard to judge what's required and what's not.

I'm working towards General now and hopefully will have enough credits to purchase at least all of the base helmets.  Once I have a clearer vision of what's required, a new post will made to update my progress.
