Subject: Need Info or Help on Security Helmet and Katana Body Piece

Well, i'm guessing everyone knows of these, they normally unlock after reaching 1000GP in Halo 3. Or at least they should
Recently i unlocked the helmet and body piece with only about 35G from 1000 on Halo 3.
I was happy but after a Caputre the Flag match i got another achievement called "Defend This" and then suddenly my helmet and katana had vanished :(

So i looked up online and apparently my helmet should have been locked into the game. But the katana should be locked in after reaching 49/79 achievements.
So i started getting some and after a few frustrating hours i reached my target :D. But no Katana... or helmet.

I've had little flashes of it when selecting a helmet but after i try and equip it it up and dissapears.... And where the Katana used to be (6/6 in body pieces) its now been replaced by a Scout Body piece...

So if i could get some info on why these aren't working or the mater of fact is that they are just super buggy armour premutations i'd love to have some help

Group is Soldiers of War, ask for invite if you're interested

It's simple, this happened to me also so I just did this.

If you get over 1100gs for halo, the armor should return. Basicaly, the more gs you have for Halo 3, the more likely this bug won't happen again. I'm at 1515gs and the bug hasn't bothered me since.

hmmm... i already have 49 and over 1100 so i'll just get one more achievement and see what happens

There is a glitch with the security helmet and katana which results from the DLC achievements. They unlock when they shouldn't and then they relock. This thread is the official answer to the problem. The only way to fix it FOR SURE is to unlock the original 49 achievements for Halo 3.

EDIT: While the Katana/ helmet unlock at 49 achievements /1000GS, you have to remember that this was set when there were ONLY 1000 GS and 49 achievements.
