Credits in Halo Reach is very important since the Spartan’s armor can be upgraded via the Armory menu in the game. Did you know that there’s an easier way to get 20,000 credits?
According to our tipsters, there are only five easy steps in acquiring that 20,000 credits in just ten minutes. Below are the five easy steps courtesy of our tipsters:
Step 1: Choose ONI:Sword Base in Campaign on Normal with free for all score.
Step 2: Run through the level till you can pick up the Target Locator.
Step 3: Walk to the door and wait for a “Checkpoint”
Step 4: Fire at the enemies!
Step 5: Press start, choose “Revert to last save” and let teh credits roll!
We tried the glitch and it works!

September 27, 2010 at 4:36 AMThe armor does nothing! You are playing Spartan Dress Up Horse Adventure… This is not something bungie should be thanked for.

September 27, 2010 at 3:25 PMroger, ur a moron. the armor DOES in fact “do” something. i have tested it cuz that’s what i thought too. a spartan wearing default armor with NO upgrades WILL die faster than a fully redesigned “dress up” spartan, some pieces of armor provide slightly higher damage protection while other armor provides less weight for greater speed. so roger, do ur reasearch before u go insulting a multi-million dollar corporation beacause u dont like an aspect of one of their games, have a good day
p.s.game on all u spartan dress up horse adventurers!

September 27, 2010 at 5:58 PMIn response to elogenu503, all of the armor permutations/upgrades are purely aesthetical. In other words, they do not make you weigh any lighter or heavier. Bungie stated this in their weekly updates a few weeks back.
Beaningfull
September 27, 2010 at 6:55 PMWell too bad the armor does nothing to your damage resistance dood
Awesomeman
September 27, 2010 at 7:11 PMThe armor doesn’t make any difference to damage taken, you just look significantly more badass when you’ve been kitted out.

September 27, 2010 at 10:00 PMHey smart guy (elohenu503), check out this little bit from Bungie’s website:
“Access The Armory by pressing Start from any menu, highlighting The Armory, and pressing right on the left stick or D-pad. As you play, you will progress through a tiered grading system and you’ll be rewarded with Credits that you can spend on VISUALLY UPGRADED GEAR.”
Just cause it hints to it in the description doesn’t mean its not anything more than aesthetic because according to Bungie all the armor upgrades are purely aesthetic. Maybe you should do your own research buddy.

September 27, 2010 at 10:14 PMelohenu503, roger is right in the sense that armor doesn’t do anything bungie even said in an interview with G4 that the armor doesn’t do anything but roger, who cares if it doesn’t do anything it is still fun to make your spartan look awesome especially in campaign cuz it looks awesome in the cut scenes i personally want the EVA helmet with happy birthday armor affect

September 28, 2010 at 2:40 AMThe thing about this glitch is that it leaves you unable to obtain credits through the campain if you do it too much. The only use it would leave you, is the way it helps you gain commendations. So my advice is to do this in moderation. 20,000 or so credits per 3 days.
In the mean time try Gruntapocolypse on corvette, through score attack.

September 29, 2010 at 9:28 PMi wish i could get somthing like the pilot helmet but thats one of the hardest to get because you have to get every base helmet to get it im over half way there
ummm yea
September 30, 2010 at 5:03 AMthis does NOT work anymore. I recieve 0 (zero credits). Only time I get credits is when I click end game and I only get 60 for “complete game”
what a bunch of shit. I voted negatively for this so called credit boosting method
roflcopta
October 10, 2010 at 7:17 PM‘umm yea’ you tit, it credit boosts because of commendations, the splash damage one to be precise, whever you get a higher level in splash damage, the amount of credits recieved drop… a lot. When on silver its around 150 for a good shot, gold around 6o and onyx …. 0-6 depending on what you hit, so dont neg it because you used it too much.

October 12, 2010 at 7:44 AMIt DOES work you can max out splash damage and walking tank by revertin to last save every time you use target locator and when you get killionare revert save and do it again.only use the 1st shot because by the time you get the second shot a second checkpoint activates. I maxed splash damage and walking tank and a few others in jus 1-2 hours (not all at once but all together. It does work maybe some of you arnet doing it right if you need help send me a friend request. FND RICH

October 17, 2010 at 3:49 PMIm doing it right now ya hoe bag, and im getting 2000 credits every five minutes, Are you online???
gamertard
October 24, 2010 at 3:36 AMin reply to umm yea, i also had the same problem to start with. dunno why but it gave me no creds for it but 60 when i quit. never quite worked out why not or why it randomly started giving me credits but one way or another now it works for me. Can i suggest you try being connected to xbox live, set scoring to free for all, and do it on normal or heroic. – also just for kicks, when i do it, i have cowbell,IWHBYD and Grunt birthday party skulls on

December 14, 2010 at 4:41 AMDoes it have to be in XBox live?Cuz for me it doesn’t work on unlive :\

December 17, 2010 at 3:31 AMThe armor is purely aesthetic. But that doesn’t mean that some pieces aren’t better than others for certain gametypes, i.e. SWAT.
You probably don’t want to roll into a SWAT match wearing an EVA or pilot helm with a silver visor. No, you probably want EOD or Gungnir, and a black visor. So yeah, they are purely aesthetic, but sometimes aesthetics can be useful. Also, anyone who has studied camoflage knows about breaking up a silhouette to disguise an object, in this case, a human. So having unusually shaped bits might make you slightly less noticeable, so long as you’re not playing a team game and get stuck with nasty bright red or blue armor.
Please, don’t place all your hopes on your armor style saving your ass, but it can give a slight edge in certain situations. And ffs, don’t use that damn flaming head shit you got in the Legendary edition in a SWAT match. At the very least, don’t use it when you’re on my team. Fuckin’ noobs.

December 30, 2010 at 11:35 AMand say if u have the big ass shoulder pads george has its more of a target
Eli
March 29, 2011 at 2:13 PMYa they patched that glich and now you only get 60 credits for finishing the level. Bungie is a major kill-joy…
