Halo 4: Multiplayer Progression Unlocks Guide

In Halo 4‘s multiplayer modes, you’ll have to gain experience and level-up to unlock weapons, armor abilities, support upgrades. Basically, you start with nothing and the more you play, the more you’ll earn. Enterprising players have already worked their way to the highest levels, and using their help we present to you a guide showing what and when you’ll unlock new gear for your online Spartan-IV.

Under each entry, you’ll find a rank number and costs in Spartan Points. Don’t let multiplayer remain a mystery, see how much grinding it’ll take to get the best weapons and gear below.

Check out Game Front’s Halo 4 legendary walkthrough for mission strategies, enemy information, and weapon tips.

Thanks 343 but if I wanted Call of Duty I’d play f@cking Call of Duty.

It will take you all of a half hour or so to get them, and you can still pick them up on maps.

I agree with Zach….like the old Halo and Reach better….hate this level up for crappy weapons, as your choices are limited, and the new appearance is crap, they all basically look the same with a few cosmetic changes, compared to Reach that gave your Spartan more of a personal taste….
