<blockquote>For some reason, the game doesn't exactly have a set gamerscore minimum to earn the Security shoulders. I got mine at around 700, while the article says differently. However, the article on Security shoulders ''does'' say that some gamers get the shoulders at different gamerscore values. I have a feeling it has more to do with which achievements you earn.

This will not be implemented on Halopedia at the same time as the other Wikia wikis.
