Gamerscore Reward: 50 Points ====================== Campaign Complete: Normal ====================== Requirement: Complete the campaign on Normal. Strategy: See “Complete Campaign: Legendary” Gamerscore Reward: 125 Points ====================== Campaign Complete: Heroic ===================== Requirement: Complete the campaign on Heroic. Strategy: See “Campaign Completed: Legendary”. Gamerscore Reward: 125 Points ========================= Campaign Complete: Legendary ========================== Requirement: Complete the campaign on Legendary. Strategy: You can do this in many ways. If you want to go for the campaign alone, try it out on Normal or Heroic. The campaign is hellish on Legendary, so I recommend doing that one in 4-player Co-Op. If you did not complete the game on Heroic or Normal and you do on Legendary, you will get the Normal and Heroic ones to. Also, if you join a co-op game on Level 3 and finish it, you’ll only have to play levels 1 and 2 to get the campaign completed Achievements. Gamerscore Reward: 125 Points SPECIAL NOTICE: SKULLS The skulls are found in all 9 levels, and when you acquire one, stand over it and hold RB to pick it up and make the Achievement unlock. In a Co-Op game, if one player picks the skull up, those that don’t have it will get the Achievement also. There are guides and Youtube videos for all of the skulls. Good hunting! =============== Iron =============== Requirement: Find the Iron skull in Level 1. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Black Eye =============== Requirement: Find the Black Eye skull in Level 2. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Tough Luck =============== Requirement: Find the Tough Luck skull in Level 3. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Catch =============== Requirement: Find the Catch skull in Level 4. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Fog =============== Requirement: Find the Fog skull in Level 5. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Famine =============== Requirement: Find the Famine skull in Level 6. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Thunderstorm =============== Requirement: Find the Thunderstorm skull in Level 7. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Tilt =============== Requirement: Find the Tilt skull in Level 8. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Mythic =============== Requirement: Find the Mythic skull in Level 9. Strategy: See the special notice. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== Graduate =============== Requirement: Earn 5 EXP or finish 10 games. Strategy: See “Spartan Officer”. Gamerscore Reward: 10 Points =============== UNSC Spartan =============== Requirement: Earn 40 EXP points. Strategy: See “Spartan Officer”. Gamerscore Reward: 15 Points =============== Spartan Officer =============== Requirement: Earn 70 EXP points. Strategy: You go up in EXP quickly by winning lone Wolves games so I suggest you do those. Oddball goes rather quickly most of the time, so grab the ball and keep running! Gamerscore Reward: 25 Points SPECIAL NOTICE 2: ONLINE ACHIEVEMENTS All of the following online Achievements must be done in RANKED LONE WOLVES games. I’ll also include the best maps to get them in, so veto if you don’t get what you want. =============== Two For One =============== Requirement: Kill two enemies with one Spartan Laser shot. Strategy: This can be done easily in a High Ground Slayer game or a Snowbound Crazy King. Back up, take aim, and hope you get both enemies with the shot. This is mostly luck-based. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =================== Too Close To The Sun ================== Requirement: Destroy a Banshee with the Spartan Laser. Strategy: This can be both online and in the campaign. In the campaign on Level 7, play as Master Chief. You start off with a Spartan Laser. Hang onto it until you see the Banshees clearly above you. Fire at them, they’re easy to hit. If you want to try it online, play a Slayer on Valhalla. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Triple Kill =============== Requirement: Kill 3 enemies within 4 seconds of each other. Strategy: See “Overkill”. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Overkill =============== Requirement: Kill 4 enemies within 4 seconds of each other. Strategy: Best done on Crazy King or Oddball, just pick them all off from a distance, then move in and kill the others. Another luck-based one. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =================== Lee R. Wilson Memorial =================== Requirement: Get 5 Grenade sticks in one game. Strategy: High Ground and Guardian both have large amounts of Sticky grenades. Play on them, and then go sticky-happy on everybody. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points ================== We’re In For Some Chop ================== Requirement: Destroy a vehicle with equipment. Strategy: This is easier to do in the campaign but it is possible in multiplayer. In the campaign go to Level 3, and pick up a few Trip Mines in the area before you get the second set of Warthogs dropped in. Later when you encounter some Choppers, weaken them with Warthog turret or Chopper fire. Then have them speed at you and throw a Trip Mine in their path. If it hits and the Chopper is destroyed, you get it. In Multiplayer on High Ground, throw down a Grav Lift at a fast approaching Mongoose or Ghost, and it’ll flip and hopefully destroy it. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Killing Frenzy =============== Requirement: Kill 10 enemies without dying. Strategy: Not too bad. If you have a Shotgun or Sniper Rifle, you can pick off enemies from a distance, and surprise the ones coming behind you with the Shotty. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Steppin’ Razor =============== Requirement: get a Triple Kill with the Energy Sword. Strategy: This one’s hard. Best done on Crazy King played on The Pit. When 3 people are in the Hill or going to the Hill, cut ‘em down. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points ================ Mongoose Mowdown ================ Requirement: Splatter an enemy with the Mongoose. Strategy: On High Ground there are two Mongoose available. Go full speed at an enemy, hit said enemy then you’re done. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points ================== Up Close And Personal ================== Requirement: Kill 5 enemies by Beat Down or Assassination. Strategy: Beat Downs in this game are cheap, and Assassinations are one-hit killers Should be no trouble to get 5. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Fear The Pink Mist =============== Requirement: Kill 5 enemies with the Needler. Strategy: This can be done in campaign as well as Multiplayer. In campaign this can be done in level 1, just swipe a Needler from an enemy. Almost all Multiplayer maps have a Needler, so this Achievement is pretty easy on both fronts. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Headshot Honcho =============== Requirement: Kill 10 enemies with Headshots. Strategy: This is best done on Level 4 when you start with a Sniper Rifle. Grunts are easiest to snipe, so take them out. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Used Car Salesman =============== Requirement: Destroy a vehicle with 3 or more occupants. Strategy: Honestly, I can’t see this getting done on any Lone Wolves game, so back to the campaign. On Level 1, when you encounter the Phantoms at the end of the level, fire on them with whatever you’ve got. Aim for the gun below the ship, and eventually it breaks. Achievement unlocked. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =============== Marathon Man =============== Requirement: Find all Terminals in the campaign. Strategy: There are 7 Terminals spread across the last 3 levels. Again, there are guides and videos made specifically for these. Note: In Co-Op all players must be near the Terminal to activate it. You must wait until the Terminals turns red and changes text screens before you can move on. Gamerscore Reward: 40 Points =============== MVP =============== Requirement: Be on the winning team and have the highest number of kills on your team. Strategy: Yes, this must be done in a Team match. Play Team Doubles to make it easier to have the highest kill count. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points =================== Maybe Next Time Buddy =================== Requirement: After being kicked off a vehicle, board another vehicle in 10 seconds. Strategy: I got lucky when I got this one, so I guess you’re going to have to hope the person who highjacked you doesn’t get very far. Best done on High Ground. Gamerscore Reward: 5 Points SPECIAL NOTICE 3: META-GAMES For the Meta-Game Achievements you must have scoring enabled (preferably on Free For All) on the campaign, and complete missions 1-9. You should have all the Skulls as well. This is the best combination I found. You are also scored based on time, so hurry up! -Co-Op, 2 people. -Normal difficulty. -Skulls active: Tough Luck, Catch, Fog, and Thunderstorm. =============== Guerilla =============== Requirement: Score 15,000 points in the first level.
