New Achievements = Samurai Sword?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched the first seven pages and couldn't find a related thread.
So say I have 970 of the original Halo GS. Then I get a couple of the new achievements and it bumps up to a thousand. Does that earn you the Samurai sword? |

If your talking about the Katana sword... To get this sword, you have to have all the achievements the full orginal 1k, as well as the Hayabusa armor, and you must get all the skulls silver and gold ones

I think it does. I think as long as you get 1000 you unlock the sword. Give it a try!

For some people this seems to work and then not for others, strange... My friend just got over 1000G in Halo 3 and he dosnt have all original achievements but he has unlocked the Security helmet and the Katana body peice.

Who cares?
The Katana is useless... I've had it for almost a year now, and wore it for 2 days.

At least for 4 of my friends.

as far as I know, the answer is YES.
However the Katana and Security helmet require BOTH 1000/1000 GS AND 49/49 achs. So, don't just get the 1000, make sure you arent missing any necessary achs (since the new cheevos are worth a lot more)

I've seen people without all original 49 who have it, but I have 1085 but am missing some of the originals and do not have it =( The real answer is Halo is glitchy as hell and anything is possible since there are no real guidelines governing the katana and Security helmet other than "1000 gamerscore". Noone has the real answer because it's soooo glitchy!

I'm pretty sure you need the overkill achievement for the legendary achievements to give you the sword/helmet.
Some dude I know missing 3 campaign achievements, and got the 3 assassinations achievement, and he has the sword/helmet. He had overkill. My friend was only missing Two for One, then he got the double double achievement and he has the sword/helmet too. My other friend is only missing overkill, and he has 1000G+ because of the legendary achievements, but no sword/helmet. I think that might be the problem.

Just hit 1045 and no sword. Only two achievements short of the 49, so we'll see.
But damn man, Overkill. Ugh. Been trying for that since last year. |

My friend got 1030 with one of the new achievements and got the sword and security. Don't know if it works for everyone but it did for him. I already had the 1000 so I'm not sure.

I doubt it counts toward the sword. It's the achievements that unlock it, not the points.

I have the Katana, and before the Legendary achievements came out, I had 995 GS, missing only Overkill.
I got 3 new achievements, and somehow I got the Katana. I still don't have Overkill. My friend had 40-something achievements and over 1000 GS due to the new achievements, and no Katana. I told him to get more until he got 49 total achievements. He did. Still no Katana. He's missing Two For One, Mongoose Mowdown, Stepping Razor, and Maybe Next Time Buddy out of the original achievements, and he has 50 achievements unlocked. So maybe you have to have one or more of the above in order to get the Katana?

That's interesting, I wonder if it is done by the count rather than the achievements themselves. Does your friend have over 1000 gs?

On reading this thread, I thought I'd do some testing for you guys, and see if I can figure something out... And hopefully give you a guide of achievements that you need to get them, and it's not as hard as you think...
I had 38 Achievements worth 970 points about an hour ago, I then tried for the Terminal Achievement to boost me to 1000 points, to then gain the Helmet and Katana, but I didn't get them... So now I had 39 out of 79 Achievements worth 1010... So I tried for a Free for All Achievement... I have just finished playing Lone Wolves... In that game, I got the 5 Stickies Achievement, which pushed me up to 40 out of 79 Achievements worth 1015, just over half the total of Achievements, and looking on Appearance, I now have the Katana Sword AND the Security Helmet... So you do NOT need the Original 49 Achievements, and you don't even need a mix of the DLC ones to make up a total of 49 Achievements either... I'll put the list of Achievements below in order of when I got them, the latest at the top, going down to the oldest... So make sure you have the following if you are unsure about which ones to attain... Lee R Wilson Memorial - Score 5 grenade sticks in any ranked free for all playlist. Marathon Man - Locate and access all Terminals in the Campaign. Headshot Honcho - Kill 10 enemies with headshots in a ranked free for all playlist or in campaign. Too Close to the Sun - Destroy an enemy banshee with the spartan laser or missile pod in a ranked playlist or in campaign. Flag Dropped - On a Legendary map, get 2 flag carrier kills during any ranked or social match. Double Double - On a Legendary map, get two Double Kills during any ranked or social match. Defend This - On a Legendary map, get a flag melee kill during any ranked or social match. Askar - Score over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the fourth mission. Up Close and Personal - Kill 5 enemies by melee or assassination in a ranked free for all playlist. Cavalier - Score over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the third mission. Demon - Score over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the second mission. Guerilla - Score over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the first mission. Campaign Complete: Legendary - Finish the Campaign on Legendary (unlocks achievements for Normal and Heroic, if not earned). Campaign Complete: Heroic - Finish the Campaign on Heroic (unlocks achievement for Normal, if not earned). Used Car Salesman - Destroy a vehicle that has three enemies in it in a ranked playlist or in campaign. Triple Kill - Kill 3 enemies within 4 seconds of one another in a ranked free for all playlist. Tilt - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Thunderstorm - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Famine - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Catch - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Spartan Officer - Advance to the Spartan Officer ranks. MVP - Earn the MVP in any ranked playlist. Campaign Complete: Normal - Finish the Campaign on Normal. Return - Finish the final mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. Mythic - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Fog - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Tough Luck - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Black Eye - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. Iron - Find and claim this skull when playing on Normal, Heroic or Legendary difficulty. The Key - Finish the eighth mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. Last Stand - Finish the seventh mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. Refuge - Finish the sixth mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. Cleansing - Finish the fifth mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. Assault - Finish the fourth mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. The Road - Finish the third mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. Holdout - Finish the second mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. Landfall - Finish the first mission of the Campaign on Normal, Heroic, or Legendary. UNSC Spartan - Earn your Sergeant rating to be recognized as a true Spartan. Graduate - Earn 5 EXP or finish 10 games to complete the requirements for basic training. Fear the Pink Mist - Kill 5 enemies with the needler in a ranked free for all playlist or in campaign. If you get all of these, you should get the Katana and Security Helmet... So it isn't really that difficult, just keep trying for the Free for All ones above and the Legendary ones... I'm not sure if it has updated my Player Snapshot, but feel free to see my Service Record for Loss the Maia on www.bungie.net to see the Katana and my Achievements for yourself... I hope this helps... Loss Last edited by Lossifer; 03-18-2009 at 04:02 PM. |

I am missing 4 of the original achievements and I got the sword the moment I went over 1000 with some of the legendary map achievements. Here's my bungie.net profile: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/De...tetendo83&sg=0
You can see the armor and if you follow links to my gamerscore you will see I am missing overkill, killing frenzy, stepping razor, and two for one. It's absolutely possible and my two cousins did the same thing. |

I have the Katana sword but I lost Hayabusa because my save file was corrupted. You need 49 achievements and 1000gs to have the Katana and Security Helmet.
