Halo Reach: The search for Data Pads Begins

Halo Reach: The search for Data Pads Begins

Fans of Halo: 3′s skull hunting sidequest are going to be thrilled at what Halo: Reach has to offer. Instead of searching for skulls though, players will be on the hunt for Data Pads.

There might just be a Data Pad around here…

Halo Reach Planet recently discovered that there are hidden objects in Reach, just like its predecessors. Each level in Halo: Reach’s campaign contains at least two hidden Data Pads — objects that contain a cryptic story from the Halo universe.

It is believed that there are 19 Data Pads in all. Each Data Pad is numbered, and so far, 14 of them have been found by Halo Reach Planet. They have created a Halo Reach Data Pads page that contains the whereabouts and transcripts of all the known data pads. They’re having trouble finding the last four, and requesting that any players that get Reach early join them in the hunt. [UPDATE] All Data Pads gave now been located. Links can be found below.

A Sample Message from a Data Pad

We got our hands on Data Pad #3, and have a transcript of the message inside. If you want to find them yourself, you may not want to read ahead!
