My Security/Katana went MIA this afternoon after I got the 7 on 7 vidmaster. Funny thing is I used it to get the achievement. Now my Body list is 6/6 and instead of 1 helm being locked there is 2 and I know for a fact one is my Security helm.

I got up to 8 exp in the 7 on the 7th playlist but didnt get the Vidmaster achievement for it, any ideas why?

  • 11.09.2009 2:48 AM PDT

ive got over 1000 points and like 57 achievements. Still no katana/security head.

  • 11.11.2009 11:11 AM PDT

This only explained I didn't get any help, several pieces of my armor are missing. I have had the original 1000gs since early 2008, thus I have had the armor since then. Also I have unlocked several achievements since my armor went missing. All I took from this post is that I can't get my hard earned armor no matter what.

I am missing UNSC Spartan, I have gained both 50 EXP in a specific playlist and 12 EXP today, trying both Sargent and Officer, with no luck. Any Ideas on what I could do next?

  • 11.15.2009 9:49 AM PDT

Yeah, what's with that? I certainly have Sergeant global ranking and Sergeant playlist ranking in many playlists, but it never unlocks :/

The Buckeye

Is there a reason why my friend lost all of his haybussa? It says he hasn't found all the skulls even though he found all the skulls and has the achievemnets.

ok so you have to have 49 of any of the halo 3 achievements and not just the original halo 3 achievements?

Question: My Security Shoulders/Katana never unlocked when I originally attained the necessary gamerscore. Will they finally unlock when I earn the new achievements?

Answer: Posted by: SketchFactor
Unfortunately there is a known bug with these two unlockable items that sometimes results in players not getting them when they should. Our testing has shown that in some cases, people do get these items as they earn additional gamerscore through the new achievements but sometimes they do not. This is being investigated further.
Posted by: Achronos
Generally, the rule is you need 49 achievements and 1000 gamerscore.

However, both of those, especially the security permutation, have a few edge cases where they can unlock early, relock, unlock again, etc.

But in most cases, 49 achievements and 1000 gamerscore will get them. If not, get another achievement.


EDIT: What you've got to understand is that when Halo 3 was released, the only achievements were the first 49. Once DLC came along, it became possible to get 1000G without getting all of them. Somehow, this has resulted in a glitch. I can say to you with certainty, though, that if you unlock the original 49 the katana/ security WILL unlock, and they will STAY unlocked.

Every time I read something that I think is the stupidest thing ever and something can't replace it, something manages to replace it.

I have a feeling I just draged this up from the depths.

could yu help me get the Mark V armour because i got 20 exp (the UNSC achievment) but i didnt get the achievment or the armour please help me my gametag is RnB G

  • 12.27.2009 6:49 AM PDT

I reached lieutenant rank and didn't get Spartan officer achievement or vidmaster lightswitch or rogue. Bungie really needs to release updates having to do with achievements.

Hm. Is there anything wrong with the Security Helmet?
I have more than 1000 Gamerscore in Halo 3 and ODST combined.
:/


RnG B: You have to get 12 EXP in ONE playlist.
Spartan 956: You have to get 50 EXP in ONE playlist

NOBODY go to the link this kid posted- it is a phishing attempt. A poor one at that since the kid couldn't even be bothered to make his link LOOK read.
Protip kid: typing [url]www.xbox.com[/url]
doesn't do squat.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Sticky this again. NAO.
