    Avatar Awards

    Concept »

    Avatar Awards are items or clothing that are unlocked for Xbox Live avatars by completing certain tasks within the game.

    Short summary describing this concept.

    Avatar Awards last edited by PlamzDooM on 08/28/23 02:58AM View full history

    Overview

    Avatar Awards are accessories you can unlock for your Xbox 360 Avatar. They are earned in a similar fashion as ordinary Xbox 360 achievements, but instead of adding to your Gamerscore or your unlocked achievements, you receive a piece of clothing or a prop for your Xbox 360 avatar. These items are closely themed to the game or developer, and range from simple t-shirts with the game or developer logo on it to entire costumes for your avatar (such as the ODST suit from Halo 3: ODST and the Doom marine suit from Doom II: Hell on Earth).

    Avatar Awards were first implemented in the New Xbox Experience starting with 'Splosion Man. Xbox Live Arcade games are limited to two avatar awards while Xbox 360 retail games are usually limited to five. If you delete a game from your profile, avatar awards from it will be removed (and can be later re-unlocked, usually with a special menu option). You cannot gain avatar awards from game demos or game trials.

    Xbox Live Applications with Avatar Awards

    Destination Arcade

    Halo Waypoint

    Halo games released prior to Halo: Reach don't technically give avatar awards, actions in them will make Halo Waypoint give awards. For example, there are several awards for completing achievements in Halo 3: ODST, but they are awarded only after you then run Halo Waypoint.

    Xbox Live Labs

    A dashboard application that ran some tests to benefit the Xbox Live team. It features three avatar awards paired with three zero-point achievements. It is accessed on the Community page of the dashboard. In the US, this application was only available until March 27th, 2011.

    • Lab Coat - (Achievement: Lab Technician) Continuously use Xbox Live Labs for 30 minutes
    • Brain Helmet - (Achievement: Senior Research Analyst) Use the Xbox Live Labs for a total of an hour.
