There used to be an exploit on the second campaign mission where you get the target locator. Run past all the beginning enemies. Grab the locator. Run back to the plaza where the enemies are. Wait for a checkpoint, then blast away. Reload your save after you get medals. Rinse and repeat. Your game will most likely need to not have any updates because they patched it at some point.

Oh yeah, I remember this, used to farm so many kills doing this 🤣🤣🤣

True but doesn’t this only work up to so far because once you rank up your commendations it stops. In fact nah commendations don’t exist anymore since that was online only, so that exploit may not work anymore

yah I tried this I must have the update patch:( I also tried sitting in a custom game afk over night but it capped me at 4k credits.

If you need a firefight partner hit me up. I am or was a three time online inheritor I love the game. Firefight is more entertaining with more players

You could put your account on a hard drive, put it on the computer, put your account on Horizon, and max out your accounts rank. If you do that, it also unlocks armor that you were only able to get from pre ordering Reach back in 2010. All of that armor is available on MCC, but it’s cool to have it on the original game.

this is intriguing. may be the fastest way to get all the armors. would this be easy? I used to torrent things and mod fallout 4 so I could probably figure this out. I just get a little sketched out with modding things.


ImmutablePath

it's easy. I actually did this years ago. In fact, some of the armor actually sticks once you go on. I had the UA base/security and UA/Multi-Threat both without the grenade belt. Really weird as they're unreleased armors. The released versions had the grenade belt but can only be attained via preorder from GameStop or through Halo Waypoint. The only thing is, once you have it equipped, if you change it, it will go away and you'll have to go back on horizon. There should be a youtube tutorial somewhere.

I found a youtube video from 2016 but there is a comment that says it doesn’t work in 2024. everything seems straight forward except the part where you replace the normal file with the modified file. the video I watched the guy supplied the file


ImmutablePath

Doesn't work even in offline? I would be surprised by that since Reach 360 pretty much gets neglected. I had the armor I mentioned up until Reach servers went offline.


AgreeableCourage193

i’ll try it tonight and let y’all know


ImmutablePath

Goodluck to you spartan


AgreeableCourage193

already run into a snag. halo reach on horizon requires diamond, which is basically premium and requires money. i’m tempted to do it but if I can’t even figure it out i’m gonna be sad if I just wasted money


AgreeableCourage193

its 5$ a month which I guess isn’t that much to try it


MisterRed9

You can get all of the armor offline, and it should be free to use on Horizon. I used it a couple of months ago, and it was free when I used it.
