Halo: Reach Skulls list

So Halo: Reach still has Skulls for you to use, but unlike Halo 3 they’re all already unlocked. That means there’s no need for you to schlep around the maps hunting for skull like some creepy goth hobo. For your convienence we've compiled a quick list of all the skulls and their effects so you don't have to bother yourself with looking at a menu like some sort of caveman.

Iron

Effect: Reload checkpoint if teammate dies. Restart level if first player dies.

Black Eye

Blind

Effect: Your entire Heads-Up Display is disabled. You can't see your weapon, shield meter, motion sensor or ammo/grenades.

Grunt Birthday

Effect: If a Grunt is shot in the head colorful confetti explodes out of it which causes minor damage to nearby enemies, and a sound clip of cheering can be heard in the background.

Cowbell

Effect: Physics effects are tripled. Explosions and melee attacks launch characters and objects farther. Damage does not increase.

IWHBYD (I Would Have Been Your Daddy) Skull

Effect: Unlocks new, funny, or unusual dialogue for the characters.
