'''ISSUE 47'''

So, this is it huh? The last issue of Canon Fodder to know the emptiness of a world without ''Halo 5: Guardians''. It’s been quite a journey so far, and at the risk of rampant overuse, we are indeed just getting started. There’s still an absolute ton to come over the next few days as we burn bright from the effects of launch-time atmospheric entry, not the least of which is our much-bandied about “Halo 5: Live” event. As we mentioned last week, Halo fiction fans will definitely want to tune in as there will be a [http://news.xbox.com/2015/10/23/your-sneak-peek-at-the-halo-5-live-launch-broadcast/ huge selection of cool content] that you’ll likely find particularly intriguing. Also don’t forget that the game launch will also neatly coincide with the final chapter of ''[http://huntthetruth.tumblr.com/ Hunt the Truth Season 2]''. Trust me, you aren’t going to want to miss it. [[Canon Fodder - Sending Out an SOS|Last week in Canon Fodder]], we took an overview look at the upcoming campaign and found out some new info regarding our Sangheili friends (and foes). This week we wanted to take a closer look at the weapons you’ll be wielding throughout ''Halo 5: Guardians'', as well as chat about the brand new ways the Halo Channel and Halo Waypoint will be supporting your ''Halo 5: Guardians'' experience. Let’s get started!




==Weapons free==

Halo 5: Guardians not only brings new tools of destruction into the proverbial fold, it expands on the tried and true favorites. Not to mention that thanks to the sweet new Warzone multiplayer mode, there are some particularly awesome new variants for weapons at your disposal through the REQ system. While these variants are exclusive to Warzone while playing multiplayer, if you look hard enough throughout the campaign, you’re likely to come across a few of these upgraded armaments in the field, adding a slick new twist to certain campaign encounters. Below, we offer a selection of the weapons you’ll find throughout the game as a whole, from trusty baseline models to a few of the more vicious variants. And don't think this is even the whole story. There's still more to come...


[[Fichier:H5G REQ Card Recon AR.jpg|left|200px]]

Kinetic Bolts augment knockback and damage against vehicles.

==Curious collectibles==
It’s become something of a tradition in Halo games to offer fans an opportunity to wander off the beaten path and find deeper connections to the expanded lore. Typically, this has been accomplished through the Terminals. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' however, each campaign chapter will provide a different sort of truth to hunt in the form of hidden audio logs that provide background information on events and locations surrounding the game’s story. The logs that you will find are all contextual to the location you find them in, so for example, accessing server data on the Argent Moon during the first Blue Team mission will give you context on the fate of the station, while collecting data pads scattered about Meridian will provide insight into the efforts undertaken to reclaim the glassed colony. And in true Halo fashion, there just happen to be 117 of these things to find and listen to. You know, for totally arbitrary reasons.
