Guide to find the Data Pads in Halo Reach


Yup, as I thought, no secret datapad under the hood...
There are a total of 18 Data Pads to be uncovered in Halo: Reach. This guide is meant to help players looking for hidden Halo reach Data Pads located at different locations within the game's levels. 


Data Pad's are the replacement for the previous Halo game's Skulls - Halo 3 made the Skulls pretty much a feature of Halo as to find them meant rewards such as the Grunt Birthday Skull and ways to make the game interesting and challenging. 


Datapads don't have that actual role in Reach as Bungie has provided Skulls from the start - the datapads are kind of like Halo 3's Terminals - the reward is info about the wider game. Dr Halsey anyone?


To make things a little interesting, Bungie have made it so that Data Pads 1-9 can be located and acquired on any difficulty and Data Pads 10-18 can only be located when playing in Legendary difficulty mode.
