Thanks rapture and thumb. That's good info.

No problem

Though I am still working on how you get the Hayabusa armor. If I am able to pinpoint the why/when/how I will post it.

Ten soldiers wisely led, will defeat one hunred without a head. -Euripides-

Hayabusa is the name of a popular motorcycle (one of the most powerful stock motorcycles in production). Could it have to do with vehicles, even the Brute Chopper?

Can anybody prove that you get the scout shoulders by getting the "We're in for some chop" achievement. I did it and I do not have the armor.

It's called "Hayabusa" armor because of the Ninja Gaiden character created by Team Ninja. If you remember, Team Ninja showcased Spartan-458 in their Dead or Alive 4 game.

I've heard that the Hayabusa armor is unlocked by finding all of the skulls. Obviously, that's not confirmed yet, but that's the most definite-sounding explanation I've heard.

It is unlocked with skulls, confirmed by me (i have them) We're just not so sure about the helm piece, hence people trying to find the IWHBYD skull, which "should/could" unlock the final helm piece.

i don't think this list is accurate, ive gotten triple kills, reached sergeant rank, and ive got the used car salesman achievement, but no new helmets unlocked...

I am pretty sure the Mongoose Mowdown achievement gives you the scout shoulders.

No, the list is accurate

The achievements are flawed. I had to do the used car salesman thing THREE times before I got the achievement. I also know tons of people who have done multiple things and and either not gotten achievements and or/armor. But the above is how you get the armor.

One more thing. Initial reports confirm that obtaining ALL the skulls (gold and white) will unlock the Hayabusa head piece. The rest of the armor is unlocked by subsequently finding various gold skulls.

Ten soldiers wisely led, will defeat one hundred without a head. -Euripides-

yes i have all the gold skulls. I have one silver skull but i still have all the armor exept the head pice so im asuming that you get it from the last silver skull

Durr. There's thirteen skulls in all, I think. Nine of them are gold and the rest are the silver skulls.

Hubcap informed me that he got some achievements by finishing the game on co-op (not sure which difficulty level), but that all those achievements had been "taken away". But he said the other person he did it with still has their achievements.

You like candy?

If I remember correctly, "Headshot Honcho" must be done with a sniper rifle.

As of current, the only people with the Hyabusa helmet are those with all 13 skulls, or at the very least the IWHBYD skull. That being said, the IWHBYD skull is quite difficult to find. Last hex read I saw basically has you fighting through the level "The Covanent" with *all* skulls on until you get to the 7 Halo rings. Hit them in a specific order and the IWHBYD music will play and the skull will appear in your hands. Only problem with that, is that it's damn hard to get past the first battle with all those skulls on, much less the whole map...

I've been trying to get full Scout armor for so long now. And like many people I was frustrated when I didn't get the shoulder pieces by mining a Brute chopper in Tsavo Highway. So I hopped online and did some searching, and apparently Mongoose Mayhem is in fact the achievement you need to get for the Scout shoulder pieces. This needs to be corrected in all the guides I've seen so far. Yes, it is an error.

Having spent nearly 4-5 hours waiting for Matchmaking to throw me into Isolation (the ONLY ranked FFA map with a Mongoose on the playlist), I finally manage to mow down someone with a Mongoose and get the achievement. Granted it cost me the game (since it was Oddball) but oh well I got my damn achievement and armor and I'm glad I never have to go through that again.

The sad thing is I've actually already mowed down at least two people in a Mongoose so far, while being a lone driver. But it was a social team skirmish match instead. I don't understand why the achievement wouldn't be given to me if I'm pretty much doing the same thing, except the fact that it wasn't a FFA ranked game. Seems kinda dumb. They need to adjust the playlists a little bit so you can have some reasonable opportunity of making those achievements.

Hayabusa helmet can be obtained by getting the IWHBYD silver skull. Which i have just done and have all pieces to Hayabusa, helmet and all.

i think you need to complete the game on legendary to get it...=/

you dont have to have all skulls on when u get the iwhbyd skull. i did it last night in 20 mins with my friends and we just kinda ran thru on normal. halo3planet.com has the ring order, all u gotta do is jump thru them and it appears on the bridge by where u killed the arbiter. its not that hard really and once u have all the skulls u get the huyabusa armor...i have it and i have to say it looks pretty sweet lol

o sorry not the arbiter the prophet...my bad

Just found..
Hayabusa Chest - 6 Skulls
Hayabusa Shoulders - 9 Skulls
Hayabusa Head - All (13) Skulls

You can combine both gold and silver skulls for the armor to unlock.

Hayabusa is with all skulls as has been said. I got it about an hour ago.

I beat legendary and it was not there, I had all but the IWHBYD skull. After getting that one the Hayabusa Helm (option 5/10) was in my sets.

But I am still missing opiton 6/10 and 10/10 helmets, even after finishing the game on legendary in solo. I know one of them is the security (Marathon) helm, but don't know what the other is.

I have all of the shoulder and body pieces for the Spartans, just not those 2 helms.

I just got ALL the skulls and I unlocked the hayabusa armor, the head, shoulders, and body... check my service records out if you wanna see what it really looks like,

my gt is moto671

to get headshot honcho u either need to get 10 headshots with a sniper in campaign or in matchmaking

I have 825 achievement points and I don't have the security shoulders.

There is no such achievement as "mongoose meyhem" its called "mongoose mowdown"

To get the IWHBYD skull, go to the seven rings, and jump through them in order. You can do it with no skulls on, and on normal. 1 being closest to the start, and 7 being near the prophet, go in this order.

1 3 4 6 7 5 4 6 5 4 5 3 4

The rings should glow, and then go to the bridge leading to the prophet. It should be there.

I HAVE THE HAYABUSA ARMOR INCLUDING THE HELMET

IT TAKES ALL THE SKULLS GOLD AND SILVER TO FIND WHBYBD SKULL JUST LOOK ON GOOGLE VIDEO IT SHOWS YOU WHERE AND HOW.

hayabusa amour is unlocked from the famine skull.

the Security shoulder armor isn't unlocked by getting 750 gamerscore points. I have 810 in Halo 3 alone and I still don't have these shoulder pieces.

Scout…………….Unlock "Used Car Salesman" Achievement (Destroy an enemy vehicle containing 3 enemies in Campaign or ranked playlists)
Mark V………….Unlock "UNSC Spartan" Achievement (Reach Sergeant ranking online)
ODST……………Unlock "Spartan Graduate" Achievement (Earn 5 EXP or complete 10 ranked matches)

I have done all of these and have yet to gain any armor which is why im here...

i got the scout helmet by getting that acheivment and u get the hayubasa armor by getting all the skulls and unlocking all acheivments.

To get the IWHBYD skull you only have to complete the last 7 jumps as follows. 4654534

I unlocked all of the Hayabusa armor lastnight and let me tell you that it is SWEET!

i got it, probably the hardest armor, and you have to get all the skulls... this includes the almost impossible to find IWBYD skull

I just want to say a minor statement: I acquired the "Used Car Salesman" Achievement by blowing off the front plasma turret on a Phantom in The Crow's Nest. I guess because a Phantom has more than three Covenant in it, blowing off a turret is akin to destroying the vehicle?

In order to get the Hayabusa Helmet and stuff you have to collect all skulls. You can find a guide on Youtube.com on ways to find the skulls with video. I did it all in an hour last night with a friend.

YO ALLL OF THE HYABUSA ARMOR IS OBTAINED WHEN ALL OF THE SKULLS HAVE BEEN FOUND GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL IF YOU WANT HELP ONE OF THESE DAYS IN OBTAINING IT AND ME TO YOUR FREINDS LIST ON XBOX LIVE RAND0M CLAM RANDOM IS WITH A ZERO

Ok, I would just like to add first of all that I have all of the achievements for Halo 3 so I know that the problem that I am having is not due to this fact. I even have the secret Katana armor which puts a Katana on your SPARTAN's back. My problem is getting the Commando Shoulders for the Elite. For some reason I still do not have them even though, like I said, I have all of the Halo 3 achievements. Any ideas anyone?

You guys should really add the Katana armor to the list by the way. Only the coolest freakin' armor ever.

Last thing for today, I promise. To get your Headshot Honcho achievement, you have to use a sniper rifle and you have to kill a Brute. I had a problem with this achievement as well but that's what I figured out would work. Also, Scout shoulders are not unlocked through getting the We're in for Some Chop achievement. That was another error that I found. I don't know exactly what triggers it, but I know that you need the We're in for Some Chop achievement and a little more.

I got the IWHBYD skull but i did it on normal. You just need to know the correct combination of rings. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I won't say it, but if you check out some other sites, i'm sure you can find it.

hayabusa is actually the name of a japanese falcon, which is where the motorcycle got it's name. and you unlock the armor by finding all the gold and silver skulls in campaign mode.

Hayabusa is a costume of main character of game called Ninja Gaiden
heres the picture.

just so everyone knows the security armor is bugged and is not unlockable till bungie comes out with an update but u do need 750 for shoulders and 1000 for helmet

just so everyone knows the security armor is bugged and is not unlockable till bungie comes out with an update but u do need 750 for shoulders and 1000 for helmet

I got the Used Car salesman achievement but didn't get the Scout helmet. I think the problem might be I got it in a really weird way. On the first level (playing on Easy) I stuck a grenade to the turret of the Phantom that comes at the very end just as the Pelican shot it down, so it credited me with the kills and gave me the achievement. But now I dont have the helmet and im really scared I screwed it up by doing it weird.

Any ideas?

You have to unlock all the skulls to get the helmet 6 to get the body and 9 to get the shoulders

if its the armor im thinking of then you need to collect all 13 skulls

omg you are so wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just confirmed it, Mongoose Mowdown is how you get the scout shoulders

it is the Mongoose Mowdown achievement

I got the hayabusa and yes u need to get the all the skulls. I got the where in for some chop achievement but i did not get the scout pads. I gonna try getting the mongoose mowdown achievement though.

the way you get the hyb... is that you get the sculls.

get 6 sculls u get the body of the hyb...

get 9 sculls u get the arm pads of the hyb...

get all 13 sculls u get the helment of the hyb...

I HAVE THE SECURITY SHOULDERS

I HAVE THE SECURITY SHOULDERS

To get the Hayabusa armor u have to get all of the skulls.

To get this strait: The Hayabusa armor is unlocked by collecting all the skulls, some earlier than others. The hardest one to find is the IWHBYD skull, which is unlocked by jumping through the rings in The Covenant level, at the end, in this order:4654534. 1=closest ring to entrance, 7=closest to prohet end of the hall. There are various skull finding guides I have heard, although I tracked them all down myself. If anyone needs help finding a particular skull, or questions about the IWHBYD skull and hayabusa armor, email me at chaos.dude@yahoo.com . Happy hunting, and I hope this helps.

To get scout shoulders, you need to complete mongoose mowdown.
If you want you can add my gamer tag IV DYNASTY IV

For all of you trying to unlock that pesky 13th skull...here is what you do...

On the level "The Covenant", the loooooong hallway towards Truth...there are 7 rings on that bridge. By jumping through them in a certan order... you can unlock the skull...want to know how? here it is...

(now 1 = the Ring at the beginning of the hallway through. 7 = The last one closest to Truth.) Here is a hint when I did it... do the cutscene when the Arbiter kills Truth and must escape. After that, slay all of the flood so they dont bother you.

456576541232721346754654534

Yes I know...you'll be jumping and running for awhile. when competed the rings should glow and flash. Now go to the bridge at the end when u fought Truth. The shoould be a Skull there. The IWHBYD Skull. This Skull changes dialoge in Campaign. (listen to some of Johnsons comments kinda funny)

a closer look, my gamertag is AceDicer.

Hope that solves the confusion everyone. Peace.

i did the same

hi im tring to get the scout set but where is an easy place on campaign to get the Used Car salesman achievement

to get the hayabusa armor or whatever just collect all the skulls i just got it atm

no hyabusa is the ninja clan name in the popular ninja gaiden seris, because of the designers envolvment in the making of the game they decided to add a tribute into the game especially for him.

wow

If you have any troubles finding skulls go to this site http://www.halo3planet.com/halo-3-skull-locations/.
It all works i checked it myself.
Have fun !!!

I also have a question, i'm having trouble getting online at my place because of an dns error, now i've tried everything and it still doesn't work. If there is anyone who knows something about the red phillips adsl router please mail me at peter_schmeter@hotmail.com.

ps: i'm from belgium so if you know anything about belgacom adsl connections PLEASE let me know.
pps: you can add me to your friend list (SS Vegeta be) to if you want to give me the info that way, but i can't garantuee when i'll respond.

about the phrases to give your comment.
in the captcha phrase "117 halo bungie cortana xbox"
the third WORD is cortana thank you very much not bungie!

it's just a litle confusing thats all lol

you unlock the armor by getting all the skulls

Not that it matters cause 99.9% of the people who post never reads anyone else's post even tho the information they need is right there, you don't need to jump through the rings in this order: 456576541232721346754654534. You only need the last 7 numbers, 4654534. Yes, 6 skulls unlocks the Hayabusa body, 9 for the shoulder and all 13 for the helmet. I haven't had any trouble with my achievements (that I've noticed) so I can't really relate to people who is having trouble on that front. Also, to the guy who posted earlier about the "Used Car Salesman" achievement, I got that achievement (I think...) by destroying the prowler that attacks you while on Tsavo Highway (Can't remember if thats the correct level) or by destroying the turret on a Phantom in Crow's Nest. For the record, I know basically everything I've just said has already be posted (I'm one of that .1% that reads EVERYTHING before I post and make myself look stupid) but most of it was mentioned around the first to middle posts so I thought I'd get it out again.

get the Hayabusa armor by getting all the skulls***

You get the Hayabusa armor by unlocking the skulls. 5 for the chest 9, I think, for the shoulders, and all 13 for the helm.

You actualluy get it in mongoose mowdown... I know this for sure...
Add me on HALO 3 pleaaase! gamertag: aaaaaaabcbaaa

I have 910 gamescore points and still no Security shoulders..

Ok I might have stopped this thread :|
I have answered the Hayabusa and Skulls questions here!

Now read the below and gasp.

Hayabusa Helmet = All 13 Skulls
Hayabusa Body Armour and Shoulders = 5 Skulls

The following are GOLD SKULLS:
Iron - Sierra 177
(Easy to explain, on Sierra 117 when you see the Brute with a Gravity Hammer kicking Johnson, this is the area you need to be in.
There may or not be Jackals with Beam Rifles (Covenant Snipers - not Carbines) shooting you on a balcony on the far side opposite to you, get to that point.
As you are up there continue round it until you get to a cream coloured brick wall, go round the corner and the Skull should be in a small space to your right, at the end.

Black Eye - Crow's Nest
(Very smart place to put a Skull and very nice to explain.
At the start you have no guns and are surrounded by marines and a big fat bomb. Look up and there shall be a pipe, get on it!
The Skull is at the end!

Tough Luck - Tsavo Highway
(Very smart place indeed!
Continue Tsavo Highway until you go through a tunnel after destroying a blue plasma/laser wall that stops vehicles.
Go up it and come out of it, you should see a long pipe to your left.
Get on the buildings nearby and jump over to the pipe, dont go to the end, look to your left as you go along it, as soon as you are blocked by a taller yellow, fenced wall - jump over it and look directly to your left and DOWN.
There should be a small floor next to the pipe, jump down to it and then jump down to a balcony. Go to the end and look to your left, the Skull should be on an ingrowing cliff on the rock wall.)

Catch - The Storm
!!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!! DO NOT KILL ANY WRAITHS OR THIS SKULL SHALL DISSAPEAR!!!!
(As you start The Storm, you go through 2 buildings with open areas, the first one has nothing but annoying Covenant forces.
Get to the NEXT OPEN AREA.
Get onto the building with Covenants on it near the Missile Pod and zoom in on a SHORT TOWER on its own next to the giant wall opposite the one you just came out of.
You shall see the Skull on the middle of the top, grenade jumps may be necessary or getting a warthog up to the wall then putting a ghost on it. Or be smart and save the wraith and get on there easily.

Tilt - Cortana
(This shall be hard to explain but I shall try my best!
On Cortana, carry on the mission until you fall down a hole into the next floor of High Charity.
There are 3 closed red doors, and 1 open, unable to see as it is constantly open.
You will come to a large room with just a purple floor infront of you, it is right above you, clear the Flood as it can be very annoying trying to get a Skull and get owned by Flood at the same time!
There are large Fungi growing on the walls to your left, try and jump on them, then there is more above you - jump on those.
Jump on the Fungi until you see a molded path made of 'sand' as I would say joining where you are to the top of the room, the Skull is there near a load of guts and boness
)

Mythic - Halo
(VERY SNEAKY! At the start of Halo, when you walk under the cave and go past a rock to your right, you see the wind rushing round the walls as if it were all a wall, its a hidden pathway.
Basically as you start Halo, just go through the cave and the path, keep looking to your right, you will lead to a shorter path and lots of rocks, a Skull is right there)

Thunderstorm - The Covenant
(Very sneaky infact, on the 2nd tower after you de-activate the first tower and _Get in The Hornets_!
You are easily mindtracked to the 3rd tower, but the 1 in between opposite the Anti-Air Wraith you fly over has the Skull in it.
The Skull is NOT INSIDE the 2nd tower.
You land your Hornet on the bottom of the 2nd tower, go up the ramp, do not go inside down the ramp, turn around and there are shall be another ramp behind you, the Skull is up there at the end.)
Famine - The Ark
(There are 2 equal man-made floors on 1 start of the wall, 1 you go through, the other just for show.Its on the 1 for show.
The one im talking about is where 2 ghosts drive over the hill underneath it as you continue your mission.
/ / /|
/-----/-----/ |
/ / / | _Kind of_ like this
The skull is up there on the edge of one of the walls continuing to be built off the edge)

Fog - Floodgate
(Near the start of Floodgate, as a Flood jumps over a building, it's in his hand and will only be dropped if the Flood is shot in the head - grenades may knock the Skull far away)

The following are SILVER SKULLS:

Blind - Sierra 117
(Near Mission Start to the right of the stream downhill by the water)

Grunt Birthday Party - Crow's Nest
(Under the metal walkway as you walk past pipes with Drones flying in and out)

IWHBYD - I would have been your Daddy (so called) - The Covenant (Finish ring sequence after killing the Flood)

Cowbell - The Ark
(Last part after you skill the Scarab)
!!!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!
Cowbell must be aqquired by a Gravity Lift.
Grenade jumping may take a long time.

Any questions about this - just get me to do it over Xbox Live.

You can feel up to the job and do it yourself or get me to do it, ive helped about 16 people get Hayabusa so far.
Thanks for reading!

Also, you are better off seeking someone to help you get the skulls if you cant be bothered yourself because I am in UK.
I cannot help people in USA unfortunatley :(

Corrections:
Silver skulls not white.
There is no such skull as Hayabusa, its an armour.Look at my previous comments for the 13 skulls !
My previous comment should make your website more popular, as I explained where every skull is :|

No, I think they got the name from Ninja Gaiden.
The main character's name is Ryu Hayabusa, which would also explain the Katana.
I think Hayabusa means Falcon

hey guys just to let everyone know how to get all of the hayabusa armor you need to collect all 13 skulls.
i have collected all of them and i have the armor. including the helmet.
if anyone needs help finding the skulls just send me a friend request and let me know you are interested. i still remember the location of all of the skulls even the IWHBYD skull.
well catch ya laterz

how do you get katana chest plate

ACTUALLY! It's an homage to Ninja Gaiden that Bungie wanted to do without getting sued, Ryu Hayabusa, look up the name and check out his armor. :)

1000/1000 Achievement points. GET ALL ACHIEVEMENTS!

Need help getting the Hayabusa Helmet... Heres the deal:

All 13 skulls HAVE been collected, but there is still no Hayabusa Helmet... I find no reason at all for it to not be there, except for one. Does the entire game need to be completed on Solo or Co-op? This is because I havent completed the game on either mode completely... Half of it was done Co-op, the other half Solo, but the entire game IS completed.

Give some input on this (such as if you have the helmet, but havent completely finished the game on a single mode, or received the helmet after completing the entire game on a single mode with all 13 skulls)

That might be true, but in this case, its refered to Ryu Hayabusa. The character you play with in the 'Ninja Gaiden' series. Look it up :).

And the Hayabusa armor/headpiece/shoulderpads are gained by collecting all the skulls in the game, the golden and silver ones (13 in total). Check some videos on Youtube.com to get the exact locations and stuff...

okay for u idots who want to clear up some of the armor, here is some of them

Scout head: yah, used car salesman but i got it by killing a prowler w/ al four brutes in it,but there are other ways.
Scout shoulders: mongoose mowdown for sure, but i only got it w/ one kill and a killjoy.
OKAY finally want you want, the project Hayabusa armor...
Shoulders: get nine of the skulls
Chest: get five of the skulls
Head: get all 13 skulls
Now, to the get the IWHBYD (i wonder how but you did) skull, on the level the covenant, you will get to the part were the flood help you. after you progess and kill truth with them, it will go back out of the cutscene. the flood will attack you.kill them off and get back to the end. before you jump down the chute, turn around so all of those rings are facing you. there should be seven. next, jump thru these rings in this order...(if your not sure were to start, the first ring to jump thru has red marking up at the top right)

4 6 5 4 5 3 4
all of the rings will light up and will start playing the halo song. got to the front again on the magical bridge and the skull will be sitting there. you wont get an achievement since its a slilver skull, not a gold.

gt's LAXICE

Security Armor is bugged?
can anyone confirm that security is bugged? i have almost 800 points and i dont have xbox live, i was thinking that might be reason

i have done used car salesmen , and to close to the sun and havent unlocked anything!

you have to get mongoose mowdown achievement to get the scot shoulders

I think the achievement they said on most web pages was wrong, you need the mongoose mowdown achievement to get the scout shoulder armor.

I think the achievement they said on most web pages was wrong, you need the mongoose mowdown achievement to get the scout shoulder armor.

I know how to get the Hayabusa armor. You have to get all the skulls (13) and you'll have the full set.

6 skulls gives you the body

10 (might be more or less) gives shoulders

13 (all) gives headpiece

1,000 GamerScore gives body with sword

"Bungie Team" members only can get the flaming Hayabusa head.

If you need help with the skulls message rezonation on XBLive

The scout shoulder is unlokced by the mongoose mayhem acheviement

It is CONFIMRED!! To get the Hayabusa armor you need to unlock all 13 skulls. And to get credit for the IWHDYD skull to need to FIRST jump thru the rings in the right order and COMPLETE the misson. DO NOT SAVE AND QUIT ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND IT!!!!

ok, listen...

you dont need to keep the skulls on, but i aint going to tell you the order to jump, nor when and where.

no i had this trouble last night. i have figured out that you have to get a the mongoose mowdown achievment in a ranked free for all game.

You get that last hayabusa armor part by either getting all 13 skulls, or activating all 7 terminals. I know if you get all 7 terminals, it unlocks the marathon man achievement. the armor is linked to the IWHBYD skull, I know. I forget if its actually just get the skull, or get all 13. And I know EXACTLY how to get the skull too, but I cant seem to do it, or do it right.

You start the mission from the beginning, hit all checkpoints, then after you kill Truth (or rather, the Arbiter does), then you kill all the Flood. Make sure you get the checkpoint at the end, before the blue lit pithole you go through, but don’t go through it. Supposedly it will only work if you wait until the Flood battle music ends. Then do the last 7 keys of the number sequence you listed (only the last 7 are needed). Do them in order. They’re supposed to make note tunes when you go through them, and after doing all 7, the Halo theme song plays. (1 is by the “pithole”, 7 is by Truth. #4 is the one with red on it, because it represents Installation 04, which was destroyed and being rebuilt).

The rings should also light up in a liner fashion. Go to the bridge leading to where you killed Truth. The IWHBYD skull should be right before it, up there by the screen to activate it.

Thats what Ive seen about it so far. Like I said, I tried once, and I didn’t get it, which I’m thinking I didn’t hit the checkpoints. But it only lets you get it if you hit ALL checkpoints. This is supposed to unlock the armor.

you get it by unlocking skulls and you can get a katana on your back by getting all the achievments done

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO THROUGH THE LEVEL THE COVENANT (WITH NO SKULLS ON)ON NORM. HERO. OR LEGENDARY AND WHEN YOU GET TO THE 7 RINGS,JUMP THROUGH THE 4TH RING,THE ONE WITH A LITTLE RED,6,5,4,5,3,4 IN THAT ORDER STARTING ON THE POST AND ENDING ON THE BRIDGE. The Skull is located in the level, “The Covenant”. After defeating the Scarabs, and going inside, get to the location with all 7 Ring Holograms. You must jump through the rings in a specific order. That order is as follows (1 is at the entrance, 7 is at the end):
[Update: Max Fightmaster pointed out that only about the last half of the sequence is needed. Thanks! Now it’s been confirmed that only the last 7 notes are needed.]

Of course you have to start the level from the beginning. I don't know if this is true but i'm going to try and see

I saw that people have some questions...I have answers.

Scout sholders-Mongoose Mowdown achievement(kill someone by running over them with a moongoose)
Hayabusa:
Helmet-Get all skulls(white and gold)
PLUS++Get, i think it's this, 10,000 gamer points and you get a katana mounted on the back of your armor for Hayabusa(Unconfirmed)

Also, does anyone know how to get the EOB Helmet???

The hayabusa Armor is unlocked from the skulls. Fins all to get the armor.

To get the i would be ur daddy skull u must jump through the halos on convent in a certain order. the order is

4 5 6 5 7 6 5 4 1 2 3 2 7 2 1 3 4 6 7 5 4 6 5 4 5 3 4

its not just random numbers its actually true

if u dont believe me just try it

well i have a little problem i have all the archivements in halo 3 but i can't use the comando shoulders why i cant?

ther is a skull u have to find for the helmet but go to youtube and type in halo 3 4/4 silver skulls and watch some vids to find it

I have beat the game but I only have a bit of multy player levels.And none of them have a hornet or a tank.How do I get more levels PS:I don't have a hard drive.Would it help to get one

Witch shoulder piece I have every one.

You can only get things by do things in normal,Heroic or Legendary....

Okay, I'm just going to say, THIS LIST IS NOT VERY HELPFUL. No offense to Hushed Casket, But the list is incomplete. There are 10 spartan helmats, 7 body peices, and 5 shoulders. or maybe the other way around. For all those people complaining about not getting their achievements, the person who is considered to destroy the vehicle\kill the person is EITHER the last one to do damage OR the one who did the most damage. If the chopper gets shot while yopur mine goes off, you wont get the achievement. As well, Headshot Honcho requires 10 headshot IN A ROW, WITHOUT MISSING. If you hit the person's body, or miss them completely, you start again.

plz plz i know im flaming but do a google search just pice it all togeather from difrwent sites i di d it works fine or better yet just explore whole levels its fun i found the first half that way(yes i know i cheated to find the 2nd half i but i did it to show off) ( no i do not have xbox live so but if you show off no ones gonna rember you much and you are a atet seeker

jackte ...flamer

To get the Hayabusa armor, you must get all of the skulls, silver and gold. The more skulls you get, the more pieces of armor you get, starting with the arm pieces, then the body, and ending with the helmet.

TO UNLOCK THE NINJA Armor (Hayabasa). get all skulls and unlock every achievement for all of it

i have been playing trying to get the "security" shoulder pieces and have unlocked a total of 35 achievements and have a gamerscore of 885 and do not have the shoulder piece. i did some research and have found that you have to unlock 75% of the achievements, which is 37 of 49.

also in order to unlock the "scout" shoulder pieces you have to unlock the "mongoose mowdown" achievement.

here is an attachment of .pdf that has all the details of how to accomplish the armor upgrades.

another way to find detailed info about the armor is to go to "Halopedia" on the internet.

The Hayabusa armor is unlocked by finding 13 skulls. Their scattered through out the levels with some levels have more than one....http://www.halo3planet.com/halo-3-skull-locations/ thats the most helpful link i've found, and there are some videos on youtube.

the Hayabusa armor is unlocked by get just the silver skulls. the last one is on the convenant near the end...you got to start from the beginning of the level and play all the way through to the part where truth dies... then kill all the flood and cortana will im a thief but i keep what i steal and then jump throgh the halo rings in this order: 4 6 5 4 5 3 4. halo 7 is next to truth and halo 1 is at the other end. start at the halo with the red...remember 4 6 5 4 5 3 4 the halos will light up the go back to towards truth and there it is. and then Hayabusa is unlocked.

I have got every armor for elite and spartan i have also beatean the game on legendary solo and coop
