The shoulder pauldrons were originally meant to be unlocked by earning the [[Killing Frenzy (Achievement)|Killing Frenzy]] achievement. However, the unlock condition ID for the shoulder pauldrons was entered in the code as <code>_achievement_killing_frenzy</code>, when the actual ID for the achievement was <code>_achievement_kill_frenzy</code>. As a result, unlocking the Killing Frenzy achievement would not cause the pauldrons to unlock, because the pauldrons were keyed to unlock on a different, non-existent achievement.{{Ref/YouTube|Id=Zedd|qEr_AolggOQ|Lord Zedd|Halo 3 Bug - Elite Commando Shoulders Explained}} [[Bungie]] could not fix this mistake through an update, because it would have required players to re-download every multiplayer map, and the main menu's map file, which would total at approximately 1.11GB in size.

The shoulders weren’t unlocking when the Steppin’ Razor achievement was acquired. In the post-auto update era, the Commando shoulders will be unlocked for everyone, regardless of the status of the corresponding achievement.}} | ||
