A Monument To All Your Sins

Gamerpoints: 150

Completed every mission in Halo: Reach alone, on Legendary.

 

Self explanatory.

 

A Storage Solution

Gamerpoints: 5

Used the File Browser to upload a file to your File Share.

 

After playing a round or some campaign, exit out to the Theatre on the main menu and fire up your recorded gameplay in the temporary files. Take a snapshot of anything you like using the camera icon on the menu and then exit out. Go to the File Browser and load up Local Files to see your file. Hit X for the file options and choose Upload to File Share. When you do, you’ll get the achievement.

 

An Elegant Weapon…

Gamerpoints: 10

Killed 10 enemies in a Firefight or Campaign session with the DMR.

 

Using the GRCHEEVOS game type and the NINJA load out, easily kill 10 of any kind of enemy in a row with the DMR.

 

An Honor Serving

Gamerpoints: 25

Reach the rank of Captain in the UNSC.

 

Self explanatory. No shortcuts on this one.

 

A New Challenger

Gamerpoints: 10

Complete all of the Daily Challenges in a given day.

 

It can be a lot of work for only 10 gamerpoints, so you may want to wait until some of the easier challenges come up.

 

A Spoonful of Blamite

Gamerpoints: 10

Killed 10 enemies in Firefight or Campaign with a supercombine explosion.

 

When you use the Needler or Needle rifle, you can stick a number of the needles onto the enemy so that they will explode. It can be tricky to find enough Needlers in the campaign at one time to pull it off, but using the GRCHEEVOS gametype in firefight, you will need to turn the damage down to 100% so that you can get the combine explosion. If you leave it at 300% they will be dead before the explosion goes off.

 

Banshees, Fast and Low

Gamerpoints: 25

Hijacked a Banshee during the Reach Campaign.

 

There are only certain few times that Banshees appear in the game and get close enough to hijack. The easiest part seems to be during the Tip of the Spear mission at the Rally Point Bravo. There will be two Banshees flying around near the spire. Head up the right side to the pipes there and hop up on them. Shoot the Banshee as it gets close and then get near it as it dives down. Jack away for the Achievement.

 

Be My Wingman, Anytime

Gamerpoints: 5

Let a teammate spawn on you 5 times in an Invasion Matchmaking game.

 

During the Invasion gametype, when you die, you have the ability to select your spawn point. It can be a static spot on the map or it can be on a teammate. If a teammate uses you as a respawn point 5 times, then you will get this. Best way to get the achievement is to get closer to the action and stay out of harm’s way and away from enemies so they are able to spawn.

 

Blaze of Glory

Gamerpoints: 25

Scored 200,000 points in a Firefight game.

 

You can use the GRCHEEVOS gametype to keep on going and and in no time you will reach 200K points. It goes even faster if you have a partner.

 

Cool File, Bro

Gamerpoints: 5

Recommended a file to someone.

 

Go into the File Browser from the start menu and go down to either most recommended or most download. You will have the choice of screens or movies and so forth. Select one and then hit X to bring up the file options. Choose “Recommend to friends”.

 

Crowd Control

Gamerpoints: 10

Earned a Killionaire medal in Firefight.

 

An easy one to get with the GRCHEEVOS gametype in firefight, you need to kill ten enemies within four seconds of each other. Simply go crazy with your unlimited ammo on a group of grunts and you’ll get this in no time.

 

Doctor, Doctor

Gamerpoints: 5

Used a Health Pack to replenish life after taking body damage.

 

During the second mission, one of the first buildings you reach after driving the truck – not, if you were after the achievement of course- will have health packs on the wall. Simply use one up and feel 5 gamer points healthier.

Gods Must Be Strong

Gamerpoints: 125

Take your time through the campaign on this setting and the 125 points will easily be yours. Ok, not easily – but it will be yours nonetheless.

Scored 1,000,000 points in a Firefight game.

 

Using the GRCHEEVOS gametype file, simply kill your way to 1,000,000 points.

 

I Didn’t Train to Be a Pilot

Gamerpoints: 10

Killed 3 of the anti-aircraft batteries during the 8th mission.

 

In the night time flying mission over New Alexandria, there will be multiple anti-aircraft turrets set up on the rooftops. You can just fly around until you see the blue-ish white gunfire from them and then take them out.

 

If They Came to Hear Me Beg

Gamerpoints: 25

Performed an Assassination against an Elite to survive a fall that would've been fatal.

 

Right at the beginning of Mission 10: The Pillar or Autumn, you will come to a ledge with an Elite and some grunts shuffling around down below. To get the achievement, you need to wait for the Elite to come closer to the ledge and then run and jump off using Sprint. Aim for the Elite’s head and be sure to turn off the sprint on the way down. If you don’t turn it off, the achievement won’t work. When you are right above the Elite, hit the right bumper and pull off the assassination.

Gamerpoints: 10

Completed the 4th mission on Normal or harder.

 

Self explanatory.

 

Into The Howling Dark

Gamerpoints: 10

Keep It Clean

Gamerpoints: 5

Killed 7 Moa during the 2nd mission of the Campaign.

 

During this mission you will come across many Ostrich type birds that go running by. The choice of slaughter is yours. There will be two or three groups of them in case you missed some.

 

Knife to a Gunfight

Gamerpoints: 5

As an Elite, killed 5 Spartan players in Matchmaking.

 

When playing Invasion mode, you will switch back and forth between the Spartans and Elites. When you are an Elite, you just need to kill 5 Spartans.

 

Lemme Upgrade Ya

Gamerpoints: 10

Advance any Commendation to its Silver state.

 

The commendations start at Iron and work their way up. You need to get one of them through Iron, then Bronze, then to Silver. Which one is easiest is obviously dependent on you.

 

Lucky Me

Gamerpoints: 25

Earned a Triple Kill while Jetpacking in Campaign, Firefight or Matchmaking.

 

One of the easiest places for this achievement is at the Rally Point Alpha on Exodus. When you grab the jetpack and hop across the platforms with the Bullfrogs, you will encounter a wave of grunts. Simply launch into the air and toss a grenade down on their heads. Keep in mind that you need to be airborne and need to have juice in the jetpack. Freefalling from a jetpack launch won’t get you this acheivment. Since it is right at a load point, if you don’t get it at first, it’s easy to reload to get to. This can also be easily acheived through firefight using the GRCHEEVOS gametype. Use the same technique as you would during the campaign, but you’ll have more targets to explode.

 

Make it Drizzle

Gamerpoints: 10

Purchased an item from the Armory.

 

Self explanatory.

 

Make it Rain

Gamerpoints: 10

Score Attack

Gamerpoints: 10

Score 15,000 points in Score Attack Firefight Matchmaking.

 

In the match making menu choose Score Attack and then you will be given a few options which includes Sniper Attack. If you are going at it yourself, choose Sniper Attack so that you have unlimited ammo. You can now pick up any weapon you want and have unlimited ammo. It’s pretty tough to do by yourself, so it is best to team up with 3 other players. The points will be slow going at first, but once the stronger waves start coming in, the points will start to rack up quickly.

 

Send me Out…With a Bang

Gamerpoints: 10

Completed the 10th mission on Normal or harder.

 

Self explanatory.

 

Skunked!

Gamerpoints: 10

Win a game of Invasion in the 1st phase.

 

For the achievement you need to stop the attacking team from taking over the capture point before time runs out. As soon as the game starts, head to the spot and find a nice little camping to protect it from. Keep everyone from taking it until the clock runs down.

 

Swap Meet

Gamerpoints: 10

Traded weapons with an AI ally in Campaign.

Tanks Beat Everything

Gamerpoints: 25

Finished the 9th mission on Legendary with the Scorpion intact.

 

Once you start the 9th mission, you will need to clear out a few turrets and enemies and then hop in the tank. Thankfully you only need to get to the Sword Base gate with the tank intact. That doesn’t mean you need to kill everything with it. Once you reach the first area with the tank, you can clear it out and hop in the Revenant there. Use that to clear the next area and the next as well. Once the next couple of areas are clear, head back and grab the tank and mop any enemies that you may have missed. FYI-You can also destroy the AA guns with the tank instead of running inside to destroy the core.

 

That’s a Knife

Gamerpoints: 10

Performed an Assassination on an enemy.

 

At the beginning of the 4th mission, Jun and yourself will be creeping along a ledge in the dark. Soon enough you will come to an Elite that is just hanging out. Perform the assassination as you are instructed .

 

The Soldier We Needed You To Be

Gamerpoints: 25

Completed the Campaign on Normal difficulty.

 

Self explanatory. You can also get this achievement by playing through on Heroic or Legendary.

 

The Start of Something

Gamerpoints: 15

Reached the rank of Corporal in the UNSC.

 

Self explanatory. You only need 10k credits and since you start out with 5k this one is pretty easy to get.

 

This is Not Your Grave

Gamerpoints: 10

Completed the 9th mission on Normal or harder.

 

Self explanatory.

 

They’ve Always Been Faster

Gamerpoints: 25

Cleared the 2nd mission without setting foot in a drivable vehicle.

 

After the second large wave of enemies, you will cross a stream and hop down a cliff. Just after the drop, there is a truck to the right side of the canyon. Ignore it, as well as the truck at the next base and hoof it through the rest of the mission. This part can be reached easily by loading Rally Point Alpha.

 

To War

Two Corpses One Grave

Try to get them together in one shot by making sure they are both within the red circle that appears on the ground. If you miss the two Wraiths, you can reload Rally Point Alpha or keep going where you will face a couple of Ghosts later on in the mission and try to get them together.

 

Wake up, Buttercup

Gamerpoints: 25

Destroyed the Corvette's engines & escort in under 3 minutes in the 6th mission on Heroic or harder.

 

When the Corvette appears, head to the rear of it a good distance until you are told to take out the engines. Immediately head to the engines once they are highlighted and switch to missiles to take them out. You should be able to get all four in one pass. Once they are done, focus on the Banshees and the Seraphs. When the red arrows appear letting you know there are only a few left, narrow in on those.

Your Heresy Will Stay Your Feet

Gamerpoints: 25

Killed the Elite Zealot before he escaped during the 5th mission.

Before heading down the steps, look to the far side and the Zealot will be stalking around there. Use a Needler Rifle or DMR to take him out without getting close to him. If you do get close, he will keep running away from you and can eventually disappear.
