You are supposed to unlock the Katana and Security Helmet Armor Permutations by obtaining the original 49 Halo 3 achievements. With the release of the 2008 Legendary Mappack (and the achievements that came with it), a glitch came where the armor permutations would unlock more or less randomly with some random achievement. This same glitch, however, often takes it away when the user hasn't actually earned it.

The armor permutations would come back randomly when you get an achievement. But the only way to ensure that they don't lock back up again is by obtaining all 49 original Halo 3 achievements, thereby actually earning the stuff. That means every achievement that isn't a Vidmaster and doesn't require a DLC map.

Some people are lucky and never have it disappear. But many do. So... eh. Enjoy it while you can I suppose.
