Halo 5 Arena Req Bundle: Is It Worth It?

Video is just for reference. So I am currently torn when faced with the decision to purchase this new req bundle that was released a few weeks back. However, does the temptation seem worth the price? Situation: I am currently caught in a bind, balancing extracurricular activities with school and soon adding in a job into the mix (replacing extracurriculars). Thus leaving me little time to spend on Xbox, and pouring that which I do into [i]"Halo: Lottery Simulator 5"[/i] in order to grind out all common to rare cosmetics so I may actually get a decent set of armor. Doing so would let me mentally take a breather and allow myself to fall behind in unlocking things in 343's monthly content drops. Pros: - Guaranteed Mk V Alpha set, which IMO looks better than 90% of the available armor - 40 additional permanent unlocks (all cosmetic, no certifications - Helps me eliminate my remaining rare unlocks Cons: - $25 that is of my own money (at this point in time) would be put towards this instead of other things, things that are far more worthy. - The Mk V Alpha set [b]is[/b] unlockable without purchase, just by grinding and a stroke of luck. - I'm spending additional money on an already purchased $60 game. TL;DR: Life is busy and I'm not sure if I want to buy a microtransaction.

  • I bought it. The Mark V set is really nice. I though I may as well buy it since the DLC is all free. I enjoy the game and am willing to support 343. The cosmetics you unlock through the packs are mostly uncommons and rares, so you really aren't getting too much there. You do, however, get a ton of RP and XP boosts, which are always nice. Overall I would recommend it. I'm all for microtransactions if the main DLC is free.
