'''Halo 5: Guardians skulls''' are game modifiers featured in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' with the appearance of a [[human]] [[skull]]. The skulls are the same from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]''. Just like in previous installments like ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', skulls are collectibles that the player will be awarded with [[achievements]] for finding the [[Gravedigger|first of them]] and [[Gravelord|all of them]], and can also be accessed in the [[campaign]] menu after claiming them in the levels in which they're found.<ref name="hb101712">[http://www.ign.com/wikis/halo-5-guardians/Skulls '''IGN''' - ''Skulls'']</ref>

A third, time-limited difficulty of Warzone Firefight, Mythic Warzone Firefight, is the same as Legendary Warzone Firefight except that it adds difficulty skulls, with more being added in every successive round. The scoring factor is 150% that of Heroic Warzone Firefight's.

=== Score Attack reference ===
Unlike previous games, the skull score multipliers in ''Halo 5: Guardians'' are added onto each other. The maximum score multiplier from skulls alone is 19.5×; on [[Legendary]] difficulty, this multiplier is raised by 300% to 78×, meaning that killing a [[Warden Eternal]] with a power weapon will result in the player scoring 1,606,800 points (78×(20,000+600)).

'''Effect''': Your [[energy shielding|energy shields]] will not recharge until you perform a [[melee]] hit on an enemy. The [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword]] and [[Type-2 gravity hammer|Gravity Hammer]]'s '''RT''' attacks count as melee attacks. The shockwave created by the Gravity Hammer will also recharge your shield. The shield down sound effect is removed as well. In addition, unlike in ''Halo 2'', Overshields are completely nullified, and any revived characters, along with their revivers, will have only health and no shields if their shields have been wiped out. Health will not be immediately restored after reviving a teammate either. AI-controlled teammates can still recharge their shields, however.

Just like in ''[[Halo 4]]'', the low shield warning beep and shield down sound effects are removed except in Mythic Warzone Firefight. In addition, unlike in ''Halo 2'', Overshields are completely nullified, and any revived characters, along with their revivers, will have only health and no shields if their shields have been wiped out. Health will not be immediately restored after reviving a teammate either, making reviving more dangerous in combat situations. AI-controlled teammates can still recharge their shields, however. In addition, the following missions feature scripted events that recharge players' shields regardless:
* [[Unconfirmed]] - at the beginning of the boss fight against the [[Warden Eternal]].
* [[Evacuation]] - the ending of the level where the player must run to the [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] while the [[Guardian Custode|Guardian]] starts generating pulse blasts.
* [[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]] - towards the end of the level, where a Guardian rises and causes a [[Mikpramu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] to almost crash on the Spartans of [[Fireteam Osiris]]. This can be missed if the player's shields are completely down.
* [[Genesis (level)|Genesis]] - during the run down the Guardian, when it conjures pulse blasts. These scripted events can be missed, however.
* [[Guardians]] - there are multiple scripted shield recharge sequences: one of which occurs near the beginning when a Guardian throws a pulse blast and vanishes into a slipspace portal; and several more at the end of the level where Osiris must reach and destroy the relay to free [[Blue Team]] from [[Cortana]]'s [[Cryptum]] while being attacked by a Guardian.

'''Effect''': All enemy weaknesses and resistances double, resulting in Covenant weapons dealing more damage to shields but less to health, while UNSC and Forerunner weapons do less damage to shields but remarkably more to health. A Spartan doing a melee attack on another full-shield, full-health Spartan will no longer immediately drain their shields. These also apply to the players.

'''Effect''': All weapons that are dropped by enemies or are scripted to spawn on the ground (e.g. near a crashed Pelican or group of dead bodies) have halved or reduced ammunition or charge. This also affects many [[Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|special weapons]] (e.g. ''[[Open Hand]]''). However, weapons found in cases still have the standard amount of ammo.

# '''Method A''': Go behind the Gamma Core to a Forerunner door, climb the chunks of snow that are on the right of it and walk all the way towards the crashed Pelican, then to the left you'll see some blocks of ice in them, and the Tough Luck skull. Make sure to jump, aim, boost forward, and clamber.

#* It is recommended to obtain the ''[[Vorpal Talon]]'' in front of and above the Alpha Core as it provides extra mobility (longer stabilizer duration, higher jump height, and an additional thruster pack use between cooldowns), which will prove useful for obtaining the skull through this method. These benefits become even more pronounced when playing as Olympia Vale due to her base attributes giving her higher jump height and movement speed.
