is there a way to unlock most (if not all) Halo Reach armor instantly with mods for Machinima purposes without getting banned?

[sol]

Title says it all, thanks in advance for any responses.

1) Go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Halo The Master Chief Collection\data\ui\ folder
2) copy unlockdb.xml and paste it somewhere else as a backup.
3) open the original file in Notepad++ or Notepad.

take note of these lines in the file:
state:
eUnlockState_Unlocked,
eUnlockState_LockedVisible,
eUnlockState_LockedHidden,

4) in the Notepad++ go to search>replace or edit>replace in Notepad
5) in the "find what" field type in "eUnlockState_LockedVisible" without quotes
6 ) in the "replace with" field type "eUnlockState_Unlocked" without quotes then select replace all.
7) repeat for "eUnlockState_LockedHidden" to "eUnlockState_Unlocked"

8) then go back to the top of the file and restore the original three lines that state the unlocked/locked/locked hidden flags.
Should look like this:
"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<HaloUnlockInfo>
<!-- these entitlement IDs are not final -->
<!--
current valid values:

id:
eUnlockItemId_testS3Visible,
eUnlockItemId_testS3Hidden,

type:
eUnlockType_S3Entitlement,

state:
eUnlockState_Unlocked,
eUnlockState_LockedVisible,
eUnlockState_LockedHidden,

-->
"
save the file, then start the game with anti cheat off.

There is no risk of a ban at this time, Easy Anti Cheat will just prevent you from entering matchmaking while the edited file remains.

To revert and play online again, just replace your edited file with the original.

So, is there no way to unlock all armor on an xbox live account with cheats while playing in an online custom game for Machinima purposes with Anti-Cheat ON?

[vengefulviper]

Any game joined or created via the "matchmaking system" or the "custom game browser" will have Easy Anti Cheat enabled and therefore will not work with this "mod".

You can host a custom game without easy anti cheat enabled and invite whichever account and/or player you'd like without issue with this mod.

[sol]

Oh ok, interesting. But is there any known way to slip an armor unlock cheat/hack/mod into an anti-cheat enabled game?

[vengefulviper]

Not that I am aware of.

[sol]

hmmmm, there should be a way...

I mean, I see people who have modded colors on their spartan in lobbies.

Be more specific. Which game, for the whole round or only parts of it, and what does the modded color look like?

[sol]

For Halo Reach, when you see people with modded armor color, the background color on their player cards on the scoreboard appear transparent rather than their armor color, and usually its just a much lighter shade of white.

[vengefulviper]

They might have used a Hex editor to make changes like that.

As vengefulviper said, that is indeed done through hex editing. Same thing with the bungie and microsoft point logos.
