So, when you complete all of the vidmasters, Recon armor just is unlocked, or do you have to do something on bungie.net?

First you have to get all of the Vidmasters. Then, you visit your Bungie.net Service Record with a linked GamerTag and you get your Recon.

Yeah, halo3genius has got it, only thing that some people might not think about is the linked account.

Imagine the uproar that might cause if people did all the Vidmasters, but didn't know they had to have a linked account.

Not that many people will get recon unlike what most people think. That fact is that a good chunk of halo 3 players dont know about having to go on bungie.net and going to the service record to activate it. I guess bungie did this since the achievements are on 2 separate games and it wont unlock normally. Your gonna here a lot 10 year olds complaining about not getting recon. Personally I'm not gonna tell them If they're annoying and have high pitched voices.

You need to activate it, similar to the Septagon, that shows up next to your gamertag in match making.

There will be a little symbol in the account section that will likely say RECON. And you click ACTIVATE. And there ya go!

Me neither. If they ask nicely, then I will. But if they act like I owe them something, they can forget it.

Wrong. Just unlock all 7 Vidmasters and it automatically unlocks like any other armor would. You don't need a linked Gamertag to Bungie.net.

This. Bungie said in a weekly update that all you have to do is unlock all 7 Vidmasters, and the armor is unlocked. Just like the other armor you unlock when you earn achievements.

Wrong. Bungie said you need to link your account and visit your Service Record. Unless they changed it and I didn't realize it.

Yes..You do.

I remember reading that getting the achievements will unlock the armor, and another time you have to come here and unlock it yourself, so I'm confused.


I'm trying to find it. I remember it being in a Weekly Update or something like that. . .
