Halo 5: Here's How To Earn These Unicorn Weapon Skins

343 Industries has announced new Halo 5: Guardians weapons skins themed around unicorns. The weapon skins will be made available "very slowly and very deliberately," the developer explained as part of its latest weekly blog post.

To get the "Fire" skin, you need to "create something awesome" in Halo 5 and have it be featured on the developer's Waypoint site. "We want to recognize and reward players who are creating great content and helping to enrich our community, and this is one of the few things we have left to help do that," 343 said.

The studio will go back through its 2017 Waypoint posts and retroactively award the weapon skins to players. This could be for having their gameplay clip featured as a "Play of the Week" in 343's weekly blog posts or for doing anything else that the studio deems worthy.

"If you've been featured, hang tight," 343 said. "We'll be rolling these out shortly but since it is a manual process we appreciate your patience."

The Unicorn "Ice" skin will be given to people who play with or against during the developer's Community Playdates sessions; the first of the skins will go to people who participated in the Valentine's Day event earlier this month. The next event will take place next week. In the future, 343 said it will publish a schedule for these events so players can have a better chance of getting the skin.

In other Halo 5 news, 343 announced that this weekend's Warzone Firefight Mythic playlist will feature the Skirmish at Darkstar map. Additionally, 343 confirmed that the current rotational playlist, Assault, will be replaced next week by Covie Slayer. Finally, the developer said it has completed work on a "small maintenance update" for Halo 5 that should be out during the second week of March. The primary focus of this patch is bug fixes for the Forge mode.

In other Halo news, 343 boss Bonnie Ross said this week that all future Halo FPS games will offer split-screen.
