Thanks to HFFL friend, Rythmic Warrior for passing the link on to me. As well thanks to o Vuli Gaming o the person who posted the thread on Waypoint, for compiling the information.

Currently, I’m a SR25. To hit SR38 and unlock everything, you’ll need to have about 48 hours or more of game time. I estimate this based off of a gaming friend who hit that mark at about that time. I have 29 hours into the game. While it’s possible to hit SR38, it’s going to take a LOT of gameplay in the next few days to unlock this before the Beta ends.

AND… I’m still working to get Helioskrill. I’ve got H3 and H4 campaigns done on legendary. I’m about halfway through H2. Then I’ll have to tackle HCE. I have to say, H2 is definitely the hardest campaign of the four. Even with certain skulls active to make it easier, it’s still tough.

So are you folks playing the Beta actively? What’s your SR rank and how many hours have you put into the game?

Don’t forget that you can give your feedback to 343 via the Waypoint thread in the Halo 5 section of the forums. That is VERY important folks as our thoughts have an opportunity to guide the development of Halo 5’s multiplayer.

Speaking of, I’m going to have an extensive article going over the whole beta. That will include each week’s maps and game types. As well, I’ll cover things like the spartan attributes, weapons, in-game ranking, etc. Expect that to be a LONG article. (of which I”ll be forwarding on to 343 as well).

  1. Be careful what skulls you use. I’ve read that skulls with a multiplier of 0 will negate the achievement.

    • Not the Legendary complete achievement. Only the scoring and time achievements. I played 10 missions of H2 last night and was getting all sorts of achievements, including the level Legendary achievements. As well, my bud, MixMaker117 (who is known for having 100% achievements on all Halo games) mentioned this to me. I know he wouldn’t steer me wrong. Believe me Wilson, I know what I’m doing here. I wouldn’t have posted about this on the blog if I were not sure of the outcome.

      • I see. My bad. I just wanted to warn you, just in case. So, if skulls don’t affect getting the Legendary achievements, you could use, say, the Scarab skull and still get the achievements?
