There is a total of fifty ranks available for players. As previously mentioned, these ranks can be obtained by gaining credits from the game. These credits can also be used to purchase [[Armor customization (Halo: Reach)|armor permutations]] for the player's character model (spending credits in this way does not affect ranking). The ranks take the form of military-style ranks (similar to [[Rank (Halo 3)|those seen in]] ''[[Halo 3]]''), though at game launch only the first twenty-three (Recruit - Lieutenant Colonel, Grade 3) were available. This cap was the subject of a community challenge hosted by [[Bungie]] for the ''Reach'' playerbase to collectively earn [[John-117|117]] million cR, with regular updates posted on the [[Bungie.net]] weekly update. Forty-nine days after launch on [[2010#November|November 10, 2010]], the cap was lifted and all remaining ranks and unlocks were made available for purchase.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=29582|Site=Bungie.net|Page=New Ranks & Armor Now Available}}

In the days leading up to the launch of ''[[Halo 4]]'', [[343 Industries]] upped the chances for players to encounter a "Super Jackpot" in ''Halo: Reach'', allowing them to earn more credits.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://web.archive.org/web/20121116200444/http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/10/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-102512-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 10.25.12}}

''Halo: Reach'' has a daily credit limit of 200,000 cR, meaning that it takes players approximately three months of hitting this limit every day to reach the rank of Inheritor.

*On Bungie.net, the rank insignia for Commander, Grade 3 features two grade bars. The in-game insignia and the one featured on [[Halo Waypoint]]'s service record do not display this, and are thus used in the above table. The Bungie.net emblem variant can be seen below.

*During an interview about ''Destiny 2'', ''Halo: Reach'' developer [[Luke Smith]] mentioned that he is the cause of an unspecified rank within the rank scheme taking too long to unlock due to a typo. Smith didn't specify which rank or the particular numbers involved, but the rank of Eclipse is likely the culprit. To rank up from Noble to Eclipse, a player must earn 1.5 million cR; to rank up from Eclipse to Nova, a player must unlock 2.5 million cR; to rank up from Nova to Forerunner, a player must earn 2 million credits. This odd spike of credit earnings can be viewed in the graph at the top of this page, and would seem to be the oddity in question.{{Ref/YouTube|7EE7cAeJUeM|Kinda Funny|Destiny 2's Luke Smith Interview - We Have Cool Friends|T=1210|Y=2021|M=1|D=7|Quote=There's some missed zero in the credit tuning for the original Halo: Reach that I still feel bad about. Where it made some rank way the fuck too long and it was because I fat fingered a zero or something. You just kind of have to forever because we didn't patch that game, we shipped it and we were done with it.|Quotee=Luke Smith}}
