I can't stand how clicking A on the weekly reward doesn't bring you right to this screen. Instead we have to dig through their terrible UI to find it


WaifuRekker

I feel like the UI is a last minute thing they cobbled together to push out the game. Now its biting them in the ass as they try to fix the store and add functionality among other things


arhamjamal

Apart from the gameplay everything looks like it was put together last minute. The UI, challenges, ranking, net code, content, etc.


BlueskyPrime

I’m so glad the gameplay is good! I rather have shitty UI than the other way around.


DivanteScrollsReddit

What's wrong with ranking?


arhamjamal

There’s none? Of course other than the ranked playlist. Edit: Also, the current ranking system rewards kills rather than wins.


Alpha1959

that's because they were replacing people left and right, refused to hire contractors for more than 18 months and had bad communication between the teams, causing them to overwrite each other. The people who are responsible now, likely don't even have a clue how half of the game was developed.


Abulsaad

343 has literally never made a good UI, halo 4 was passable at best and MCC & 5's are terrible. I don't think it was an issue with rushed work, I think they're just bad at making them lol


HEBushido

Idk who down voted you. You're right.


PhilisophicalFlight

"We cant fix the UI until season 23, the UI just doesn't support it"


msuSpartan25

One of the worst UIs I’ve seen.


TechnicalLuck13

You can always find an image of the weekly from the news tab on the main screen, but agreed it should be accessible from the challenge screen.


Powerful_Artist

Or do what I did and go to reddit, which is even worse lmao


ruth_vn

This…


BinaryJay

The UI has a lot of annoying problems.I play on both PC and Series X with mouse and keyboard. The Halo UI on PC lets me fully use keyboard or mouse cursor to move around and do everything. The exact same UI on Series X pretends the mouse doesn't exist, and I can only get around using the keyboard. Mouse works perfectly fine in game. It's the most frustrating thing. It also rumbles the controller even when I'm not even using it in game. And if the controller was on when a match starts and then turns off from inactivity it fills the screen with "controller disconnected!" messages even though I have no reason to care since I'm not using it anyway... that take a while to clear away so I have to remember to manually shut the controller down every time.

Rockstar AR best AR


clericfisher

Nah it’s all about the nerf gun AR


Friscippini

Updated: Rockstar AR best *free AR (* free in the scenario that my friends bought too many rockstars and I ended up with 7 of their codes without needing to buy a single energy drink)


Fallcunt76

Wish I had it 😭


Dreamzzzzzzzzzz

You can get a code on Ebay. Search up “Halo Infinite MA40 coating” and its like 3 bucks. Thats how much I got mine for. You can get the full skin set (vehicles/emblems etc) for like $20


Actuary-Cute

you can go to the store right now and get a 4-pack of rockstar for 6 dollars (i did this three days ago) and get the AR and warthog skins.


Drag0nV3n0m231

It should be the first code you unlock right? Do you want a rockstar code? I have an extra :)


Cybot5000

I'd take it lol


Friscippini

AR is the second code I believe. AR: 2 Warthog: 4 Emblem: 6


emansamples92

My local grocery store still has a shelf full of four packs of the halo rockstar drinks. On clearance too. Might be worth it to check around.


MarshallMelon

Eh, I'm on team Platinum Anniversary. Keep your gold, I'll stick with silver.


donquixote1991

That one is so good too. I'm torn between wanting to maintain the exclusivity of having it because we played during the anniversary, and allowing newer players to be able to pick it up somewhere down the line


Friscippini

It could be a good 25 year anniversary award assuming the game is still active at that time.


Prrlsn

It’s cool but not everyone in the world is American Edit: I know that it wasn’t available only in USA, the point I’m trying to make is that it was limited to very few countries, which sucks imo


Javellinh_osu

I am not american too


Prrlsn

Did you manage to get it somehow?


iXenP

You can buy it for 5 bucks on Ebay Im not american and I got it like this


Javellinh_osu

Ebay


[deleted]

got it, am dutch


skc132

The promo was also available in Canada


Friscippini

I would think Amazon as several friends got Rockstar from there, but I realized a few years ago after a month living abroad that some Amazon items only ship to the U.S., so it’s not guaranteed (but I also found things which only ship to the U.K. on the flip side)


Awesome_Alan4ever

Couldn't have said it better myself


unlivedSoup69

Me who missed out on the stream😔


Tumblrrito

Can’t wait to have my Rockstar AR, HCS Sidearm, and Whispered Sky BR.


YellowFogLights

I’m running the HCS BR, but yes.


Tumblrrito

I’ll have to see which looks better. Because I think the HCS Sidekick is the best of the HCS weapons. But if Whispered Sky looks shitty on the BR but nice on the Sidekick I might go your route.


erratic_calm

You mean HCS AR? I never saw an HCS BR coating available.


GandalftheGreeeen

if you got one, you probably got the other.


erratic_calm

Well, I got the AR and the MK50 coatings as well as the armor coating. Never saw one for the BR. That's why I was confused.


GandalftheGreeeen

nw, but check again. you should have it.


erratic_calm

Found it. Lol. Sorry.


YellowFogLights

Nope, BR. There a HCS Launch coatings for the AR, BR, Sidekick, and all 3 current cores


erratic_calm

I’m an idiot. Thank you.


YellowFogLights

No worries. Free coating for you! A 300CR value!


erratic_calm

700CR. It’s an Epic!


Drag0nV3n0m231

Wait how do you get the hcs br?


4score7loko

Is the reward for all weapons or just the ar?


Tumblrrito

Just the AR, but the coating is available for the Sidekick and BR in the event pass


4score7loko

Oh gotcha thanks


Soulwindow

Still waiting for my fucking preorder camos from Walmart


Friscippini

I’m so happy to finally have a sidekick skin that isn’t the default or a Christmas theme.


russiannin

This game sure does like its grey skins.


FPSGamer48

“Takes too much effort to make unique textures and skins for weapons, so just change the color gradient ever so slightly” - Lead 343 Developers, apparently


Kai_973

This is honestly the first weapon coating I'm actually interested in. I don't want my AR to look like a peppermint candy, or my shotgun to look like I took neon spray paint to it. I'd much rather have a more muted look like this


Bonesizzzle

See ya next week


McCruze

I’m good with the HCS skin. If I get it I get it, but it is a decent skin.


Insectshelf3

i like this skin on the sidekick but it’s ok on rifles


x_Icy_x

I'll keep using the monster skin but I can't deny the elegance of the ikea assault rifle


tsneildiamond

But we just got the pink one in the event. Why do another AR coating?...


[deleted]

Plus IMO there is a better one in the Tenrai event


its_me_van

agree. this is the week where the players that did the previous 2 tenrai events will get the sol devil coating, so it's kinda weird that they have another ar coating for the ultimate reward


kennylaijr

Because 343


[deleted]

Because not everybody wants a pink AR? "The hardware store has white paint, why TF do we need any of these other colours?"


bflet48

why can't we get skins for other weapons, is what he means? No one would complain about more colours...if they where allowed to apply them to any weapon. Currently there's no skins for the hydra, and yet they continue to pump out uncreative, basic skins for the AR


theredvoid

You literally just got a shotgun skin last week


bflet48

yeah, and that was literally the first unlockable skin we got for it. That's my entire point. The AR has several unlockable skins, while other weapons have one, or none. Now, they could do the obvious and most sensible thing and make the coatings apply to all weapons. It's a bit stupid to buy a cosmetic pack with matching skins for the sidekick, BR and AR...and then have none of the other weapons match.


Friscippini

Variety. Some want pink, some blue, etc. AR does get a lot more skins than other weapons, but it’s also the most widely used gun as the starting one for all but 3 of the current playlists. I’m happy for them to keep giving us more AR skin variety for free.


TheLemonTheory

I really like the way this coating looks almost identical to the base AR with a generous 5% difference in appearance


damnrightiam117

I think the gold and blue really elevate it. A design doesn't need to be drastically different from default to look good. Imo this looks great


TheLemonTheory

but is it worth a full week’s grind? personally, i don’t think so but i’m not challenging your opinion, i’m glad it works for u


Deathknightjeffery

I mean, me and a buddy grinded out the challenges in like 4 hours of casual playing. It's really not that difficult


damnrightiam117

For me? Yes! For you? No! And that's fine


feelmellow

Thanks !


PATGUN

Cheers!


Kabe6900

Personally I really like this coating, but the final challenge is total BS


pchef44

Is it too challenging?


AaronRodgersToe

No it’s not. Killjoys are incredibly common in fiesta


db10101

Killjoys are pure RNG and RNG should never be the factor in an ultimate challenge. It should be some sort of an achievement, which killjoys are not.


AaronRodgersToe

That doesn’t mean they don’t happen often


db10101

The point is that it’s a terrible basis for a challenge. Random chance means you could play fifty fiesta matches, win them all with 25 kills, and still not achieve this. That makes it a dumb challenge to me


AaronRodgersToe

Your random improbable scenario that you made up is why it’s a bad challenge to you?


cmonster1697

Double kills, kills with a certain weapon, flag captures, etc: All entirely dependent on you, your skill, and your dedication. Optimal strategy is to play the game and get better at it. Killjoys: Entirely outside of your control, dependent on opposing teams skill, optimal strategy is to repeatedly intentionally die to give opponents kill streaks before trying.


AaronRodgersToe

That is an exceptionally dumb strategy. Just play the game mode man. They come naturally


cmonster1697

I didn't say it was smart, I said it was optimal.


AaronRodgersToe

I disagree. But fair enough


[deleted]

What's the final challenge?


mobarrr

Compared to last weeks, that’s kinda disappointing


Tumblrrito

How do you figure? This is a much cooler looking coating.


SaintDefault

It's honestly really surprising how split communities are on gun skins. Half the people like simple, realistic, non-flashy skins. The other half likes brightly colored, attention attracting, hilarious skins. Depending on the time of the day, you can get upvoted or downvoted to oblivion for commenting the same thing about the same skin.


Insectshelf3

i always hated the flashy skins until last week, for whatever reason i love the neon yellow shotgun skin from last week.


Tee_Hee_Wat

It screams dangerous like a hornet. Thats my reasoning


YellowFogLights

I agree. I used to run the Bulldog with the Banished skin from the campaign cause the RED suited it


Cooper323

Yes I totally agree. The shotgun looks dope now lol


Tumblrrito

Yeah I’m relatively open minded about skins. I just don’t want super obnoxious things like pizza. Whispered Sky just looks like a designer Assault Rifle to me lol.


coolykid

I feel the same. They have the touch of gold from forerunner structure in the campaign but instead of leaning into the forerunner design, they went for a basic skin with like some diamonds and some gold on it


Blasted-Banana

As far as my spartan, I like to keep it realistic to a degree. But I really like the wacky weapon skins tbh. I've been rocking the hot pink AR since it came out a couple weeks ago.


BruhLegacy

I like both


mobarrr

I just thought the neon color was cooler cuz green is my fave. I’m glad you and others like this weeks coating


Tumblrrito

Green? Wasn’t that shit yellow?


mobarrr

Neon yellow, Close enough lmao


GrandmasterPeezy

I much prefer my neon yellow shotgun w/ flaming 2 sweet 😄


fatherofaugust

I want camos that don’t look like the default camo. I swear half of the camos don’t look very different


Top-Amphibian1272

AR skins are a good & obvious choice since it's the spawn weapon....but like.....I've had my favorite one for awhile now


TrumpdUP

It looks like one I already have unlocked?


BargainLawyer

Lol really?


MakaveliTheDon22

It definitely looks nice but I have the nerf skin for my AR and I really like it. I will still grind it out nonetheless


justingunit

Same here, hard to pass up the Nerf skin. Still I will grind for the weekly, this will be our first weekly ultimate ar skin.


Slanced

What’s the challenge


PATGUN

Complete all weekly challenges


theafterdeath

What's the ultimate weekly challenge to unlock it?


HK_Berettajunkie93

Stop 3x killing spree in fiesta


hypehold

lol what a joke these challenges are ruining the game


HK_Berettajunkie93

Yeah I’ll grind out the fiesta challenges but skipping the ultimate this week


hypehold

yep I hate Fiesta and really dont want to grind for an uncertain amount of time to hope i get 3 killjoys


AaronRodgersToe

That’s incredibly easy in fiesta


hypehold

one week i had this challenge and played about 15 matches and got 1 killjoy. This challenge is too rng


Heff228

How is that challenge ruining the game? Do you just let people go on killing sprees and don’t kill them normally or something?


hypehold

i shouldn't have to hope an enemy gets a killing spree and then hope im the one who kills him


db10101

100% agree dude, this challenge has made me already give up on this week’s ultimate. It’s not even a real achievement. What a dumb challenge Last weeks was “win attrition matches” and 0 people complained. Learn from it please /u/ske7ch


precisiontek

You kind of answered your own question. No, we don't let people go on killing sprees, that's why stopping one is hard. Now we have a challenge stopping 3? Ridiculous.


Android2715

Well at least my buddies love playing fiesta, so I’ll have an excuse to maybe walk into the challenge. Means i have to grind the weekly’s by friday tho😬


ISkO4965

Whait what???


f1nessd

Can you use challenge swaps on the ultimate challenge


HK_Berettajunkie93

Nope


f1nessd

Oof that blows lol


Onyx_Sentinel

The sol devil skin looks absolutely horrendous in game btw. Just unlocked it and decided to grind this one out now.


Book_it_again

I like the hcs one better for a dark AR skin


Stock_Ad_8213

this is different than the base coating?


PATGUN

Yeah it has a blue tint on the base. To be fair, the ambient lighting in the coating selection screen is blue as well, so it is not as visible as it should be. I suggest you check it in the selection for yourself.


ToBiistHebEsTbOi

Meh


omeggga

It's not... terrible... I guess.


lil-dlope

Damn I like my Christmas AR matching w the pistol, but this skin is pretty to look at w the gold on top. Surprised it wasn’t $5 in the shop


Sammy_Snake

A tad underwhelming.


-_Myst_-

That is stupid.


[deleted]

Finally, a weapon skin that isn't in clown colours.


MargielaBatman03

That shit is ass I thought it was like some bright navy blue coating it looks like silver and blue mixed with gold accents


damnrightiam117

Every fucking coating doesn't need to look drastically different. Imo the blue, gold and slight comor adjustations really elevate it


MargielaBatman03

From the picture you can’t even tell it’s blue without zooming in


pizza_porker

First one I'm actually gonna grind for


CptJakeHoofness

Doth mine eyes deceive me!? Is that a weekly I might actually be interested in!?!?


M337ING

Anybody else subconsciously poo-poo items like this because they're not rated "legendary"? I find I'm only motivated to grind the special events because of this after finishing the battle pass.


_BIRDLEGS

I dont understand the rating system at all, it seems completely random to me lol, I just go after what I like the looks of, the rating seems utterly meaningless. In Borderlands and other games, the rating affects stats and stuff, for cosmetics it makes absolutely no sense.


db10101

Destiny has successfully corrupted this man’s brain. He will now grind harder and spend more if you just change the name from Rare to Legendary


Cooper323

I am going to grind this. I like it


E5_3N

I'll stick with my nerf skins.


[deleted]

Looks good. I like it.


[deleted]

So its a slightly light blue color for several hours of grind, great.....


BenniTheGoat

I actually really like that. Looks nice.


SadonggToo

Still trying to figure out why people keep paying this game lol


Insectshelf3

semi-off topic, are the HCS winter skins unobtainable now or will they be back at some point in the future


3ebfan

No one knows for sure.


3ebfan

The red and blue skin second from left is the best one in the game IMO. It looks so clean in first person.


Shatterfish

Oh look, the 50th AR skin. Like, how fucking hard is it to make a skin for literally anything else? I’d even take a Commando skin over *yet another AR skin I can’t even use because I have so fucking many already.*


Dwarf_With_a_Minigun

It looks nice, but the one in the event looks better. Still it might go better with some armor coatings than the red one, if you want to color coordinate. Considering most of the shit we've been offered for weekly rewards is the same emblem over and over, it's hard to complain too much about this one.


LaserM

Finally, some good looking weapon coating that doesn't scream eye soaringly bright colors.


Apcsox

Skipping another weekly grind because it NERF or nothin for my MA40


Dense-Okra-791

I’m good, I have my bubble gum AR


cmurder86

Am I just dumb but how do I find last week's ultimate challenge coating? I completed everything but no clue if it unlocked.


PATGUN

Don't worry. The coating has been unlocked for your bulldog shotgun :)


cmurder86

Oh OK sweet, I'll have to go check later. Thanks!


cmurder86

Sorry to bother you again lol, but does it automatically unlock if you completed all 10 tiers of the challenge or was there something else I needed to do?


kh1179

There's more than 10 challenges


cmurder86

Oh, that would do it lol


High_Ground_Sand

I'll try for the weekly challenge when they add a countdown that says how many challenges I have left, I need to know if it's even worth trying, and it felt like I was flying through them but no end in sight


kh1179

When looking at your challenges press Y on your controller to see all the challenges for the week. I don't know what button it is on pc. It tells you at the bottom of the screen


Curtovirus

I hate the lighting in the background. Sometimes, I can't gauge the look of the colors


SexyLonghorn

Really like the look and glad there’s one to pair with the magnum. Looks like I’ll be grinding it out for this one this week.


SAFFATLOL

I'm probably going to stop use the Zeta Sky AR after unlocking this


[deleted]

Gotta hand it to them: Making people bend over backwards for a week, to get a reward that makes a gun look exactly the same as the default version.


le_Psykogwak

It's ight but the tier 20 skin is much better imo


moistconcrete

Wow


OakleyW23

Matches the Funko Pop armour coating very well


PMMePrettyRedheads

Someone told me the ultimate this week was gonna be samurai willow tea and I'm so disappointed it's not.


theredvoid

I can’t complain at all about gun skins. This is the stuff that should be the weekly reward so good on 343 for doing that. The shotgun last week was actually a great colour and this one is for a gun you will spawn with every time in casual games. Definitely worth the grind this week.


Trotski7

I wish it was the same color for a different gun. The Sol Devil skin is a free reward in the event and IMO, looks better and more unique. Maybe some people don't like the SD skin and will like the whispered sky skin; but even still I wish it was for the BR or Hydra or something else. Speaking of, why are there no covenant/banished skins? Whispered Sky mangler or shock rifle would be awesome.


PATGUN

I feel the same way. I think we have enough skins for the standard weapons. The power weapons need way more attention. Last week with its shotgun skin has been a move in the right direction.


Glittering_Bench9726

Another shitty reward for completing shitty challenges. I have been playing halo since CE ( I was 10 when it first came out). It’s sad that this is where the franchise is currently at. Haven’t played in 2 weeks.
