Halo 5: the best tips and tricks

Halo 5 offers some new features compared to its predecessors that completely change the battles. With our tips and tricks you will still be a real professional within a few minutes of play.

Tip 1: Win more fights in Halo 5

The battles are at the heart of Halo 5. If you don't act skillfully here, you lose. Therefore, pay attention to the following tips:

• Increase your sensitivity right from the start to gain an advantage. At first it may feel spongy, but after a short time you will notice that you have a decisive advantage over other players. You can now target enemies faster and better change direction. Don't underestimate this feature - most esports players use this trick as well.
• Jump while throwing a grenade to throw it further away. The grenade will reach a much greater distance by jumping, so you can also hit distant targets.
• Sprint as little as possible to be ready to fire. Unlike conventional shooters, Halo 5 is more tactical. It is therefore important that the little sprinting gives you a better overview and enables you to react much faster to opponents that appear.

Tip 2: Communication and tactics in Halo 5

Communication is very important in Halo 5. Tactics have also become significantly more important thanks to the different REQ cards. Use that to your advantage.

• Despite the somewhat getting used to Halo 5 community, it will help you to inform your teammates about the opponent's positions. Even if an opponent already has low HP, this can be important information. Also agree on the order in which you want to conquer the flags. This way you can target your opponents and protect the flag together.
• Also keep the REQ vehicle cards to the end to surprise your opponent at the last moment. In an emergency, you can use it to ward off a later impending attack. That could turn the game around again at this moment.

Tip 3: Open REQ packs correctly in Halo 5

It may sound confusing at first, but you can actually open REQ packs more effectively. We explain how it works:

• First, just open the bronze packs. This will initially give you all the standard cards you definitely need. Then when you later open silver and gold packs, you can be sure that you will always get a high quality card. You usually get bronze cards from silver and gold packs occasionally. You can avoid this by opening only bronze packs at the beginning.
• Then continue this strategy: After the bronze packs, you should only open silver packs, since it works on the same principle here. In the end you can open all the gold packs well deserved.
• So you are well equipped for all possible battles in Halo 5.
