Spiider Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 A question about the "Grunt Funeral" skull that comes with the game. Is it something you can earn in the unlock in the game? Or is it only available with a code? ** Sorry if this is a dumb question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua777777 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I may be wrong but I thought you can collect it in the game. Best advice I can give is type it into YouTube. If it is, I'm sure someone will have a video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1E Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The Grunt Funeral skull was a preorder exclusive for the game. If you preordered it, then you would have had a card with its code on the back (same with the Master Chief avatar armor). You would have had to redeem that code, and then the skull would already be unlocked in-game when you booted it up. If you didn't preorder it, then you can't have it (unless you buy it on eBay, or if they end up releasing it as DLC someday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually came out here with the code included (in Australia) when you brought it brand new. Ah so say you don't have a code for it, you can't get it in-game? (kind of like you could buy exclusive weapons and skins for Medal of Honor, only to find out you unlock it for free when you reach Lvl 15?)

DarkReign2021 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It was supposed to be pre-order exclusive, but I don't really see how since the code was sealed inside the box. Just go to the store and get a copy. If you find a used copy, check the case and you might still find it inside even. But yes, it is not attainable in the main game.

Restricted-Access Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Actually... it was NOT a pre-order exclusive. If any retailer made that claim, they were lying! All new-release copies of the game includes the "Grunt Funeral Skull" code (as well as the Master Chief Avatar Armor). I reserved my copy of the game from GameStop, but I elected not to pick-up the game at midnight. The next morning, I bring in the newspaper and find the Toys 'R Us ad in it. They were offering a $10.00 gift-card with the purchase of the game (and some Halo Mega Bloks toy - which I have no idea what it is, since I don't wear diapers). Anyway, I go down there and look at a copy of the game and see it includes the "so-called exclusive" items in the box, so I get it there (my deposit from GS is refundable). Also, I had a $20.00 gift-card that I got when I bought "Skyrim" from Toys 'R Us a few days before. So... Skyrim was $60, Halo was $20, or... Skyrim only cost me $40, Halo cost me $40... AND... I have a $10.00 gift-card to use. Do the math, but either way... I made out like a bandit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kung Fu Man Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Aye, I too can confirm I got the dlc code for it with my copy of the game from Wal-Mart. Price matched a sale K-Mart was having, got AC: Revelations for $40 (pricing error we couldn't fix), Halo for $20...then sold Revelations on eBay for $50. Cheapest brand new game ever. But on topic...I seriously love this skull. It may mean I can't bonk grunts on the noggin anymore, but it's still fun to use them like mobile explosive barrels.

It may mean I can't bonk grunts on the noggin anymore, but it's still fun to use them like mobile explosive barrels. I love it too. It's fairly dangerous to you when paired with the Boom skull though, the exploding Grunts always seem to cause other Grunts to come flying towards me!

You wouldn't want that skull enabled on "Assault on the Control Room" - unless you weren't planning on stealth-killing those sleeping grunts (well... you "could" stealth-kill the first one, but you're going to go with him as well)!

Doktor Wilhelm Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Actually... it was NOT a pre-order exclusive. If any retailer made that claim, they were lying! It was Microsoft and 343i that originally stated it was only available as a pre-order incentive; which is why everyone keeps thinking that it was.
