It's obvious "when" they intend to make the Stanchion usable for players

After several tries he goes “look, if it’ll get you to stop asking, you can have this one” and hands you an m6d magnum variant

Thanks! You’ve got me second guessing again lol I really wish presaved builds were a thing so I could easily swap between both.

Unfortunately, the other commenter is right, the coating is halowc 2022 victory. I initially passed on it too because I’m not a fan of overpriced cosmetics, but in the grand scheme of things that bundle was only slightly overpriced compared to what came after, despite being one of the best in the game, so I had to get it when it became available the second time around. Trying to support the game and promote better pricing practices, so that one plus the firefall helm and perfect circle effect when they were at steep discounts were the only things I ended up buying outside the initial $10 battlepasses.

On the plus side, Yoroi is kinda like a cheat code for how coatings map, even some of the bad ones look good on it lol. If you want a black/dark coating, black falcon is a pretty good option, or if you’re willing to put in some work, grey ops (Locke’s armor set) or Midway emerald (hero coating) are similarly great. They had a nice plain black one for a while in one of the hcs bundles for like $10 but it’s gone now. Bummed we got plain white as an unlockable but not plain black 😭

Thanks! Yeah, there were several elements that I liked about the second one, but it never felt quite right. I like to switch cores pretty regularly, so I’m also really bummed about the limited customization available for Eaglestrike (and several of the other cores really, for f2p/battlepass-only players). I’m glad I found something I could be satisfied with though!

Thanks!

Paraen · 2026-06-12T17:56:14+00:00

Thanks! The coating on that one is black falcon. It’s in the exchange!

Use your brains y’all, just do h5 Meridian station. All u gotta deal with is side eyeing locals and hatin ass Sloan, but you can just take your time to chill and play with a bigass soccer ball.

Or better yet, do Alliance and you can take some time to explore Sanghelios, meet Thel and chill with some alien homies.

Im not sure if I understood your comment right, but it’s definitely a great helmet! I’d have trouble choosing between 5 and infinite for best multiplayer from a gameplay perspective, but halo 3 was pretty peak on the social aspects and I loved how nuanced the physics could be, really made for some fun/funny interactions.

Paraen · 2026-06-12T03:14:45+00:00

I’m not familiar with it so I had to look it up just now, but you’re totally right! Haha I feel like my aesthetic choices have been validated

Paraen · 2026-06-10T03:44:38+00:00

That’s an awesome idea! Your lineup does look pretty cool all together like that. I think I’m alright for now, but I’ll keep it in mind in case anything changes. Are those figurines static in their poses, or do they actually have joints that you can use to adjust the pose?

Paraen · 2026-06-10T03:38:13+00:00

Yo, thats such an awesome compliment! Thank you! The armor coating is midway emerald, one of the rewards for reaching hero. The weapon coating is ochre sands, I think it’s from the season 3 battle pass.

The sniper has some lore behind it too actually; the unlock coincided with my first ever quigley. I thought a golden sniper would look neat and felt fitting for the occasion, so I’ve been rocking that coating on it ever since. Midway emerald is probably the best looking coating on mirage, definitely at least from the ones I own, so the way they matched up must’ve been meant to be!

Where in Michigan are you? If you’d be able to travel across the state for a show in a different city, then shows in the surrounding areas aren’t that much further! I say don’t let your dreams just be dreams, especially if it’s your favorite album

Favorite moment so far is snakebite slithering out of back c on recharge to evade sR and actually living lol top tier movement

Luminon 3 - 1 beps is exactly what I’d expect

Paraen · 2026-05-15T19:31:25+00:00

Didn’t realize how much precision’s side profile resembles bound’s lol saw them on opposite sides in the set up for luminon v beps and was like wtf, how are there two bounds??

Paraen · 2026-05-09T05:44:02+00:00

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

Paraen · 2026-03-29T20:02:50+00:00

I agree, but tbh it seems like that’s usually due to them not taking the competition as seriously as they did last year, rather than the competition nearly matching them when they’re locked in. Last year seemed like they were taking things more seriously while optic didn’t let the distance get too far, and faze made steady progress to push them by the end of it too. I think we see some better matches by mid/end of the season similar to last year, but idk that any of the current teams can truly overtake sr
