There are two ways to get these codes into Halo Waypoint:
#1. Use the “Halo Waypoint Terminal Waypoint codes” (blue image in the gallery above) to directly enter the glyphs into Halo Waypoint to get the below listed unlockable extras.
#2. Use the “Forerunner symbols translation key” (green image in the gallery above) to translate the below listed codes.

The following Halo Waypoint codes will unlock extra experience points (XP), Raider Armor/Helmet, Emblems, and Concept Art.
Important: For some of these codes to activate you’ll first need to have playing War Games and Spartan Ops, or have collected all Domain Terminals in Halo 4.

How Waypoint Terminal Codes Work:

Halo 4 will have Waypoint Terminal Codes like in Halo Anniversary again. After finding a Terminal in-game (use our guide at the top of this page to find all 7), you’ll get a Waypoint Code (consisting out of glyphs/symbols/icons) to enter in a row into Waypoint, which will unlock points or free extras like the “Raider” Spartan-IV armor and bonus videos.

This video sees the game’s creators explain how Halo Waypoint lets you enter classified codes & much more.

Halo Waypoint further explained. 4 Minutes into the video you see how they want you to enter symbol codes.

Fans have discovered a Halo Waypoint Secret 12th Terminal that contains the “Wakeupjohn” video seen here.

A Waypoint transmission from a few days ago confirmed the above in its own cryptic way. To quote:

/CLASSIFIED/NOTICE TO ALL SECTION 3? OPERATIVES/

/THE LATEST REQUIEM SURFACE INTEL TRANSMITTED BY 117.

Xbox 360 Console Unlockable Avatars

Completing the following three tasks will reward you with Avatar Awards.

  • The “Knight Helmet” Avatar Item will be unlocked when you unlock the “Knight in White Assassination” Achievement. – This can be done in-game by assassinating a Knight in any Spartan Ops mission.
  • The “Platinum Mark VI Helmet” Avatar Item will be unlocked when you unlock the “Wake Up, John” Achievement. – This can be done in-game by finishing the Halo 4 Campaign on Normal difficulty mode or harder.
  • The “UNSC Infinity Hoodie” Avatar Item will be unlocked when you unlock the “Not Some Recruit Anymore” Achievement. – This can be done in-game by ranking up your Spartan-IV to SR-5 in Multiplayer.

How To Play Mythic Difficulty Mode

Mythic difficulty refers to playing the game on Legendary difficulty mode with all 13 skulls activated.

Developer 343 Industries likes to refer to this as SSLASO to incorporate both single player and co-op modes. No, that extra “S” wasn’t a typo. Unlike simple SLASO (Solo Legendary All Skulls On), SSLASO stands for “Single-Segment Legendary All Skulls On”, meaning the player must make it through each mission individually on Legendary with all Skulls on, from start to finish, in one go. No deaths. No saves. No reverting to the previous checkpoint in co-op mode. This is a challenge to be feared.

Unofficial as it may be, it’s been featured on the Halo Waypoint blog and to prove your dedication you can sign up at the Halo Waypoint forums.
