I’m writing this from a fan perspective. So please understand I might make some mistakes. What is listed below is what I’ve gathered from around the web, much of which was revealed during E3 these last few days.

What is the REQ system?
It is the system used to earn weapons, vehicles or aesthetic to your armor or guns through REQ points in Halo 5 Guardians.

REQ Points/Packs
The quick and easy explanation is that the REQ Points  (Rpts) are the currency of the system, while REQ Packs (Rpks) are the reward.
Rpts are rewarded after multiplayer games, either Arena or War Zone. These can be redeemed in multiplayer for Rpks.
As far as I can tell, you can only redeem your Rpts during gameplay. Which does make sense in a way. Though for aesthetic things, I’d like to redeem those at any time. That is a question already posed to 343. I’ll post their response when/if they give one to that. Continue reading →
