- "The all new Hog Wild REQ Drop has rolled into Halo 5: Guardians! This latest free content salvo delivers four awesome new Warthogs, new armor, emblems, attachments, and more to your Halo 5 experience. Take your new rides to the Warzone to give determined drivers everywhere new ways to win! The Sword Needler Warthog, which has energy shields and a needle-firing chaingun, is a rugged ride wrapped in Covenant technology. Both Rally Warthog variants have greatly increased speed and armor, which make them perfect for attacks on the enemy’s base. Lastly, Halo 5’s most action-packed Warthog, the Vespin Rocket Warthog, fires and reloads high-acceleration rockets faster than anything on the battlefield. Outfit yourself in the new STINGER armor set and utilize the new Hybrid Sight attachments to take on the competition with deadly precision."

Hog Wild, also referred to as the Hog Wild REQ Drop is the seventh update for Halo 5: Guardians and was released on May 31, 2016.[2][3][4] Due to some changes made by 343 Industries to the Halo 5: Guardians content release plan, much of the content planned to arrive with the Hog Wild release was moved to the Warzone Firefight update; as a result, Hog Wild is simply a collection of new REQs, with no larger modes, maps, or patches released.[4][5]
