Halo 5: Guardians - 10 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

10. How To Open REQ Packs The Right Way

"Is there a wrong way to pushing a button on something?!" you surely scream. Surprisingly, yes, and it's a relatively new thing that only a handful of Youtubers or Redditors have cottoned onto. See, the system is split into three tiers of unlockable card packs; Gold, Silver and Bronze. For the most part, the game would have you believe the best pack is Gold - it costs the most and has the 'guarantee' of having the best equipment inside. Not true. In actual fact, you want to spend your time busting open every last one of the Bronze packs first, as that way you'll slowly unlock all of the Common items one by one, before moving up to Silver, and then doing Gold last. That way, you're eliminating the chance of the more expensive packs giving you the items you already own, and the rewards should be geared towards better loot. It sounds counterintuitive, and you can definitely save up to occasionally splash out on the other two packs, but Bronze should actually be your priority over Silver and Gold for the most part, rather than being the one you're steering clear of.
