Halo: Reach Cheats & Tips





❤️ Click here: Halo reach matchmaking symbols


I understand 343i has figured a way to make Blue and Red Spartans fighting make some kind of sense Canonically, but depending on the outcome of the Glasslands Trilogy, there is a chance if Elites and Humans come to a happy ending , that this same idea you have come up with would be able to include Red and Blue Elites shooting eachother, and Spartans, and helping Spartans. And while several other of my friends purchased and played Halo Reach, they overtime became more interested in other games, such as Gears of War, or Call of Duty.


The Start Of Something Cleared the 2nd mission without setting foot in a drivable vehicle. After playing for a bit you'll learn the locations of Elite drops. Marketers focused their efforts on connecting with consumers via universal themes, rather than outdoing Halo 3 's push.


Halo: Reach - Certain feedback from the players did not correlate with the statistical data obtained from the matches during the beta.


This page contains a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other for Halo: Reach for Xbox 360. If you've discovered a cheat you'd like to add to the page, or have a correction, please. Shrinking Phantoms In the New Alexandria mission, follow a phantom until it is about to leave the map. Instead of continuing to fly away, it will stay in one spot and shrink until it disappears. The button combination is similar to the lowered gun Easter egg. Hold down the RIGHT STICK R3 and press and hold X + B + D-pad UP for two seconds. A display of numbers and slashes will appear near the top of your screen. The first set of numbers are you X-, Y- and Z-axis coordinates in relation to the center of the map. The second set of numbers are your X- and Y-axis coordinates in relation to your viewpoint, 0. This works in campaign and split-screen, but has not been proven on Live matches. This may only work if you have the IWHBYD Skull on. Submitted by: creditfarmer The Face on the Halo Returns On Forgeworld doesn't matter which map , walk out to the edge of the hangar and use your weapon to zoom in on the background where you see Halo making its huge loop around. At the base of the ring, you will see the face of Chris Carney among the clouds of the Halo. This can be seen in Halo 2 as well. Fly the Pelican or Covenant Drop Ship Note: You'll need a second cooperative player for this Easter egg. On New Alexandria, complete at least 3 objectives from the mission and you should be directed to the ONI building. A secret switch will now be available in the level. At this point, head back to Club Errera with the glowing red neon facade. If you are looking directly at the club from the front landing pad, the switch you need to hit is located on the building directly to the west left. Move to the northwest corner of the building at an altitude of about 850 ft. The easiest way to hit this switch is to have one player stand on top of the aircraft while it hovers under the switch. Once this switch is activated, fly directly south and through the large building with the giant, oblong gap near its apex. It is one of the taller buildings in that direction. Fly through the gap in the building and your falcon will suddenly turn into a Pelican. If you are flying a Banshee you'll need to sky jack it elsewhere in the level , you will turn into a covey dropship. Wolf Picture If you go into the armory and you angle the camera correctly you can see in the of the helmet a picture of a wolf easiest helmet to see the is with the EVA helmet with the silver visor on. Chatter When playing on the map in go to the ramp between the two energy shafts were the Energy Sword is. Face towards the rest of the map and then head towards your right. After exiting the room with the energy shaft head towards the corner to your right -- basically, walk across the bridge to the east past the sword. If you stand there for a little bit you should start to hear radio transmissions which include ones between control and a commander of a squadron who reminds control his men aren't Spartans. The radio can be seen in the eastern corner. They appear in some levels and then quickly vanish into thin air if you don't kill them. It is unknown how difficulty level effects their appearances. His armor is bright yellow and his helmet has a blue visor that shields his entire face. He appears on both Legendary and Normal difficulty, but he seems to show up in different areas. Usually he appears during the part of the mission where you're driving Carter and Jorge around looking for the stranded marines. Kill him and you'll be rewarded with a special medal in your medal chest on Bungie. He will show up in your statistics as one of the types of enemies you've killed. The Package: On the Package, once you enter the gate to Oni Rally Point Alpha , quickly head up the ramp and look to the left to spot the Elite. It's in the courtyard area where you meet up with Noble Team before heading into. The Pillar of Autumn: After the Bugger cave you'll come across two massive buildings in a valley. The second building you come to -- the one with both Data Pads -- has a a garage at one end to the right when facing it. Inside the garage you'll find this Elite. Additions by Crippler55 The Free Banshee Buttons on the Package There are two switches that can be activated by two different players at the beginning of The Package -- this Easter Egg is different from the two panels that open Dr. Halsey's lab at the end of the level. You can do this on Normal; no need to start a Legendary game. Before you begin your switch hunting, eliminate all the enemies in the first area. Try to grab a Ghost as well. At the southern end of the lake is a shack. On the north side of the shack, look for a large crate against the wall. Use the Ghost or a melee attack to move this crate. One person should stay right here. The other person should continue south and get in the Scorpion tank. Use it to destroy the sniper roosts and the turrets just to the south. Now, walk off the edge of the short cliff due south of where you picked up the Scorpion. Turn east and look for a glowing green panel on the cliff side where its meets the water. As soon as you hit this switch, a second switch will appear only very briefly on the wall in the lake, so coordinate this with your partner. When the second switch is activated in the lake, four Banshees will appear on the roof of the nearby building to the north. Climb up and hop into a Banshee. You can freely explore the massive level, even the dogfight to the south. If you take out the AA cannons BEFORE you hit the switches the AA guns seem to become invincible if you get the Banshees first with the Scorpion, you can fly the Banshees through Sword Base's entrance gate and explore even more of the level. You can even land on the mountains all around the area and get out without dying. Credit Farming Made Extremely Easy While there are many ways to earn Credits, or Credits, in Halo: Reach, this is the easiest strategy we've discovered so far. You can set any you want but you probably want your difficulty to be Normal -- it's hard to do this on Legendary. Basically, you want to skip the first fight entirely. Run up the ramp to the west and jump onto the little wall to the north that wraps around to the road leading south. Sprint to the gate and grab the Target Locator from the suitcase along the western wall. Next, you'll want to set a Checkpoint -- this matters quite a bit, so don't ignore this step. Move to the south end of the gate and aim your locator north as the enemies approach. As you tool around by the closed southern door, you should get a Checkpoint. Now, aim the Target Locator at the street to the north and pull the trigger. Try to catch as many enemies as possible in your blast. This will earn you Credits -- probably about 100, based on your Commendations and Medals from the blast. Now, revert to the last Checkpoint and repeat the Target Locator blast infinitely. You get Credits for earning Medals Commendations, so the exact amount will vary for each blast depending on your Commendation progress. You should be able to work towards Commendations like Leadership Element and Splash Damage, while also gaining a set number of Credits for the Medals you win in each Target Locator strike. Using this method you can safely rack up Credits at the rate of several thousand each few minutes! Skulls aren't collected in Halo: Reach, but you can turn them on before starting a campaign session for the following effects. Single player death restarts entire mission. Every enemy will dodge slower attacks, like needles and grenades. Hear rare dialog from computer-controlled players Access Dr. Halsey's Office You'll need two players for this and you MUST play on Legendary. Skip to Rally Point Bravo on The Package. Play the level until Dr. Halsey announces her lab is open. Do not enter the lab or access the panel on the door to end the mission. If you don't have a Jet Pack, grab one from the northern side of the lab entrance area. They are on the wall without any flashy Armor Ability holograms so they are a bit hard to spot. One player must stay in a safe spot while the other accesses a secret panel. Fly to the far eastern line of buildings. Run up the ramp and turn left, or north. A fenced off area on the upper level lines the out-of-bounds region to the northeast. Drop off the northeastern corner and ease your way towards the rocky out-of-bounds area below but do not touch it! Hover above it and look for a panel with a green light you can access on a girder. Hit X to activate it. This will open a door on the north side of the Halsey's lab entrance. A half dozen Elites will stream out of here with Energy Swords. Fly over them or run a Ghost through them and enter the open door. You will then be transported to a hallway. Follow the hallway to the lab area where you can view a number of Easter Eggs, from readable data panels with inside jokes to old Halo art. Halo: Reach Earning Credits is the only way to increase your rank in Halo: Reach, but there are many, many ways to do this. One of the most reliable ways to earn Credits is to just play online matchmaking games as much as possible. You will be awarded for all sorts of things in matchmaking, from kills to medals. Another great way to earn Credits is to complete daily and weekly challenges. You'll can even see how many Credits you'll earn for each in the challenge menu. Finally, commendations are another great way to earn Credits and rank up. Check out your commendations menu and work towards the goals in all your campaign and matchmaking sessions. Earning a silver rank lands you a few thousand Credits! To make getting to the end of an hour long film easier, hold RIGHT TRIGGER, press START and then let go of the RIGHT TRIGGER and press START again. Your game will fast-forward automatically until you pause it or hit the trigger again. Multiplayer Nameplates Nameplates are image bars that behind your name in matchmaking. Perform the following actions to unlock Multiplayer Nameplates. You can activate the Nameplates on Bungie. Choose Nameplates and you'll be able to activate one so that it appears in the game. This works on any button layout, not just the default settings. That would be B + X + CLICK RIGHT STICK + DOWN D-Pad on the default controls. Avatar Awards Complete the following requirements to unlock items for your Xbox Live Avatar. At the end of the level, savea nd quit. First, find some cover near the Wraith and use a scoped weapon to eliminate the gunner behind the Wraith's turret. Now, shoot the Wraith with a charged Plasma Pistol shot and approach it as it becomes temporarily disabled. You may want to use Sprint to do this! Jump onto the front of the downed tank and you will see the turret area open. Press X when you see the prompt to operate the turret. As you take over the turret, the Elite piloting the Wraith will hop out. Shoot him and the Wraith is yours! Exit the turret and jump onto the top of the Wraith and enter the pilot's seat. Master Chief Cameo Upon completing the final level The Pillar of Autumn , you will see a cut-scene of the ship taking off. At the point when the UNSC shuttle docks at the Pillar of Autumn's landing bay, the camera will move to the right if you were holding the stick to aim right and catch a shot of a Spartan in a capsule. Should look familiar, right? During Mission 7, once you get to the Club Errera part of the mission, head back to the hospital. Fly to a ledge below the usual entrance. If you chose the right one, when you get out you should see a green light. Once found, activate it and go back to Club Errera. If you want to change the music again, go back to your Falcon and fly to the roof of Club Errera. Guess what, there's another switch. If you return to the dance club after you clear it out Hunters included then a Brute DJ will be spinning records, a Brute tends the bar and Grunts get freaky. Easy, Hands-Off Credits Cheat: Free Slow Credit Farming Begin Firefight Mode and enter the Game Options Menu and choose Spartan Settings. Choose the Base Traits Menu. Stand near enemies and let them attack you. You'll rack up Credits to spend on equipment without lifting a finger! You should get credits about 10 Credits per minute -- sometimes more. It is unclear how Credits are earned. Set your controller down and go to school or something, jeez. Below is a quick-reference list for all of the Data Pads in Halo: Reach.
