Each pack will also contain 12 ultra-rare or legendary single-use REQs.

In addition to all the added content, Memories of Reach will include several fixes and improvements to Halo 5: Guardians based on fan feedback, including the ability to modify your matchmaking search preferences, a new Post Game Carnage Report with post-game medals and more stats, sandbox balance updates and additional Forge goodies.
