343's getting pretty good at giving away free stuff. Between two major updates (the latest of which arrives this week), the developer's already added (or announced it's adding) a new Forge mode, an updated Blood Gulch, Big Team Battle mode, more than a few dozen bits of equipment and a glut of other extra bits and pieces. It's transparently a drip-feed of new stuff to keep us playing - and the latest addition increases the frequency of those delicious drips to potentially two a day.
As you can see above, the in-game Message of the Day currently announces that winning a match of Arena or Warzone will net you a free REQ pack for your trouble. Win a match in both modes and you can grab two free packs a day.
The daily rewards are Silver packs, too - equivalent to 5000 REQ points or £1.59/$1.99 - so your chances of a high-class REQ are increased above buying lowly Bronze top-ups. That said, I got some right crap in my first open - the gods of RNG remain cruel and fickle beasts.
