Introduction:

"Welcome to Reach", the highly anticipated prequel by Bungie Software, part of the Halo Series. You will be taking control of Noble 6, part of the Noble Spartan Team. Fighting for the survival of Reach is your number one priority. You will go from destroying the Covenant offensive, saving civilians from imminent doom, and seeing a plot unfold. Get ready to wage war on humanities worst enemies, one more time.

 

Breakdown:

If you are a experienced Halo player, you can most likely jump right into the Campaign and complete it on Legendary difficulty alone. This may be the toughest Halo to date due to the AI being much smarter and agile. There are no collectibles to be found in this Halo.

 

Also, for "A Monument to All Your Sins", you must complete the game on Legendary on your own. As there are two separate "Complete the game on Legendary" achievements. Below I will post what Is recommend as how you should play through the game to get yourself 1000 with minimal frustration.

 

*You must play on Normal or higher difficulty to get achievements like "Banshees, Fast and Low", "KEEP IT CLEAN", Etc.*

 

 

Campaign: (25 Achievements for 725http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif)<Recommend 2 Playthroughs>

 

Campaign for Newer/Moderate Halo Players

(2 Campaign Playthroughs):

If you are newer/a moderate Halo player, then this is recommended for you to know the game and where enemies spawn.

 

First play through the campaign on Normal difficulty, to understand how the game is and to get a feel for it. This will get you a minimum of 125http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif by just completing the campaign on Normal.

 

Then start your playthrough on Legendary by yourself and play through the campaign again. This should go faster since you know the feel of the controls and how the enemy AI responds. This will get you 325http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif for just completing it on Legendary alone. For more tips on Legendary, please refer to "Gods Must Be Strong."

 

Campaign for Experienced Halo Players

(1 Campaign Playthrough): Legendary

If you are a experienced Halo player, then this should be easier for you then others. Play through all ten missions found in the Campaign on Legendary. Take your time around the corners and stick back. For completing the campaign on Legendary alone, it will net you a minimum of 440http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif. For more tips on Legendary, please refer to "Gods Must Be Strong."

 

 

Firefight: (6 Achievements for 155http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/g-icon.gif)

Firefight has 6 achievements that relate to it.

 

  • “Score Attack “-Must be done in Firefight Matchmaking
  • “Firestarter”
  • “Blaze Of Glory”
  • “Heat In The Pipe”
  • “Game, Set, Match”
  • "Crowd Control"

 

Firefight is much easier this time around as there are things you can enable like infinite ammo and unlimited health. Download this Firefight settings file to your account from Bungie to complete “Firestarter”, “Blaze Of Glory”, “Heat In The Pipe”, “Game, Set, Match” and "Crowd Control" in one easy go.

 

Multiplayer: (9 Achievements for 65:gsicon:)

The multiplayer achievements are very spare in this portion of the game. This should take you the largest amount of time as it has to deal with uploading/recommending files, winning certain game types, and earning a killing spree. The longest portion will be getting to the level of Lt. Colonel to purchase an item. Below are the achievements that have to deal with Multiplayer:

 

 

  • "What's a Killing Spree?"
  • "Be My Wingman, Anytime"
  • "Skunked!"
  • "Yes, Sensei"
  • "Knife to a Gunfight"
  • "A Storage Solution"
  • "Cool File, Bro"
  • "One Down, 51 to Go"
  • "A New Challenger"

If you want to boost any of these achievements, please refer to this thread: Achievement Trading Thread

 

 

Misc/Clean up:

After completing the game on Legendary difficulty alone and doing all Firefight/Multiplayer Achievements. All you should have left is reaching a certain rank in UNSC, doing something misc. in a certain mission and killing enemies with a certain weapon.

 

 

Conclusion:

Halo: Reach is without a doubt, if not the best Halo game that has come out from the series. It shows what the series can still continue to achieve and progress even when we sometimes think there couldn't be more done to make it a better game. Truly, one for the record books.

Completed the Campaign on Legendary difficulty.

 

Legendary is much harder in this Halo then others in the past as the AI is much tougher. Here are tips on how to complete the campaign on Legendary:

 

  • Conserve your ammo. Running out of ammo is severely dangerous. Enemies already take a large amount of bullets, and there isn't much ammo to be found laying around. If you do find yourself out of ammo for a weapon, swap it for anything. You need to have a weapon no matter what.
  • Be patient. Nothing will get you killed faster then running out of cover blindly.
  • If you need to, run out and see where enemies are at to get a feel of what's to come.
  • Save your grenades, they will become your lifesaver. Use them only in extreme measures and taking out large groups of enemies.
  • During any portion of the campaign, be on the lookout for the "Drop Shield" ability. This is the best ability to have during the game. It shields you from enemies fire/grenades, and heals you while you are inside it.
  • Always be on the move, never stop and be in one area. Enemies will just point all their fire at you and kill you almost immediately.

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

 

*Must be done on Normal or harder difficulty*

You first area you find a drivable vehicle during the 2nd mission(Winter Contingency) after the first firefight with the Covenant. Avoid all vehicles during the 2nd mission. First you must find a Covenant outpost, then it will tell you to go save the survivors. After you have found and fought off the Covenant drop ships that come, you will have completed this.

Killed 2 vehicles at once with the Target Locator in the 3rd mission.

 

*Must be done on Normal or higher difficulty*

This is done on "ONI: Sword Base". After you have fought the onslaught of enemies that attack you. You will go around a bend and be put into a sort of bunker with opening doors. On the left you will see the Target Locator. Once the doors open, you will see a rock in front of you. At the bottom of the hill, you will see two wraiths appear and be near each other. Call in the strike in the center of both of them, and destroy them both at the same time. This may take some timing and aiming/calling in the strike before they come to the area.

Hijacked a Banshee during the Reach Campaign.

 

*Must be done on Normal or harder difficulty*

The easiest level to do this on is during the fifth mission found in the campaign, "Tip of the Spear". During the mission you will find a Jet Pack, this may come in handy if you need it. You can start at Rally Point B, which puts you at the part where your team flies the falcon into the Spire. As you near the spire, you will see Banshee's flying just before the Spire. On the left side, there is a Banshee that flies near the ground a lot and bumps into the ground. Follow this Banshee around until it dips low enough to get inside. Press and hold :xbut: to hijack the Banshee.

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

 

*Must be done on Normal or harder difficulty*

This is done on the mission called "Tip of the Spear". You can start at Rally Point Alpha. After you have cross the bridge with the Warthog, you will hear the AI say that there is a high value target is in the area. An "Elite Zealot". After you go up the stairs and come to a area that you see a turret at the end. Take a left, and this will put you inside of a very large open room. Stay there, and you will see the Elite Zealot come out with a Red Arrow above his head. Kill him quickly and this will be done.

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

 

*Must be done on Normal or higher difficulty*

The easiest level to get this done on is right at the start of Pillar of Autumn. At the start, you will come to the edge of the cliff. If you look down, you will see a semi truck on the left and a car on the right. Between the semi truck and car, you will see a elite and three grunts. As soon as start the mission, Emile will say, "Race you to her". The Elite will back up and put you in reach to hit him. *Sprint off the cliff, and immediately hit :lbbut: to stop the sprint*. As you are falling, fall on his back. Just before you hit him, hold down :rbbut: to perform the assassination. This may take a couple tries.

 

* - You must stop the sprint as soon as you jump. The game still thinks you are running and doesn't recognize that it would be a height big enough to kill you.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s19.jpgWake Up Buttercup 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

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

 

This is done on "Long Night of Solace". At the start, you will be protecting the ship from the enemies that are attacking it. After this, you will see the long purple Covenant Ship that you have to attack. Immediately go behind it and start shooting rockets at it's engines. Slow down by holding down on the :ls: to not approach the ship so quickly. After this is done, start taking out the enemies that they send out to attack you. Banshees can easily be taken out with the cannon, but the Seraphs are a different story. To easily take out Seraphs, use the cannon first to take out their shields, then hit them with one attack of the missiles. This will make them much easier and faster to deal with. Once there are only 5 enemy ships left, they will show up on your screen with red arrows pointing where they are. Take out the remaining ships to complete this.

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

 

During the 9th mission, you will see the Tank. Enter the tank and go through the level without it blowing up/becoming unusable. It is okay if it takes damage, just cannot be destroyed. Once you reach the familiar bunker, the achievement will unlock. You cannot skip the tank as the tank must reach the bunker.

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

 

*Must be done on Normal or higher difficulty*

For the triple, you must be using the jet pack. Not while you are free falling or have run out of thrust.

 

<Campaign>

During Mission 7, "Exodus", you will go in a elevator that takes you to a open part of the tower. You will see banshees flying around and a couple troops in front of you. One of these troops has a rocket launcher. Swap out your weapon for the rocket launcher with the :xbut: and hold on to it. You will walk a little to the left and be told to grab a jet pack. To use the jet pack, you press the :lbbut: and the :rs: to go in the direction you want. After you jettison across a couple platforms in the Cargo Port, you will come to a bigger platform with enemies on it. While using the jet pack, shoot the rockets at the 3 grunts on the lower of the two platforms for a easy Triple Kill.

 

<FireFight>

This can easily be done during a Bonus Round in Firefight. Large groups of grunts will be dropped down(8-12 in one group). Get ready for the Dropships and sit on top of a higher part of the level(i.e. a rock or rooftop). Once they jump out, start to jettison into the air and shoot a rocket down at them. Refer to "Heat in the Pipe" for more information.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s22.jpgKEEP IT CLEAN 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

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

 

*Must be done on Normal or higher difficulty*

You cannot die as it will reset you kill counter.

 

Moa are the birds that look just like ostriches. They are two legged creatures that you first encounter on the second mission, "Winter Contingency". You must kill them with bullets. If they are killed by AI fire or grenades. It will not count.

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

 

This will more then likely come from natural play. While playing through this mission with the Falcon, you will be shot at with anti-aircraft batteries(turrets). At the end of the mission you must take out 5 of these turrets.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s24.jpgDoctor, Doctor 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

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

 

Health Pack’s are found on walls all around you. They are generally found in buildings or bunkers. They have a H on them that glows and fades orange.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s25.jpgThat's A Knife10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Performed an Assassination on an enemy.

 

 

To assassinate a enemy, go behind a enemy and hold down :rbbut:. It is easier to do on a enemy that doesn’t know of your presence. This can be done in Matchmaking, Custom Game, Campaign, and any other portion of the game.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s26.jpgI See You Favour A .45 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Killed 10 enemies in a Firefight or Campaign session with the M6G pistol.

 

You cannot die as it will reset you kill counter.

http://i53.tinypic.com/5ffb43.jpg

Magnum - M6G Pistol: The M6G has a 8 round magazine with a 2x zoom that is initiated by pressing in the :rs:. The slower you fire the weapon, the greater the accuracy. Headshots with this weapon are one shot kills against grunts. Once the shield is gone from protecting a Elite, they are also a one shot headshot with this pistol.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s27.jpgAn Elegant Weapon 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

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

 

The first place you find a DMR is during the second mission, "Winter Contingency". Once you get out of the Falcon, you will be told to "Retreat into the Relay Outpost" after defending it. After the cutscene, you will be put into a dark corridor. Immediately turn to your right, and you will see two DMR rifles on the gun rack on the wall.

 

You start the third mission, "ONI: Sword Base" with a DMR also.

 

http://i52.tinypic.com/34xkz6e.jpg

DMR - M392: The DMR is a single shot rifle(semi-automatic) with a scope on top that has a 3x zoom. To use the scope, press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png. The easiest enemies to kill are the grunts since they have no over shield or shield on them. Aim for the head for easy kills.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s28.jpgSwap Meet 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

Traded weapons with an AI ally in Campaign.

 

To trade weapons with a AI ally (Not a Sparton, a trooper) must press and hold :xbut: near them. If they are not facing you, hold :xbut: and they will turn around to face you to swap weapons. You cannot swap weapons if you have no ammo for that particular gun. It is okay if it has low ammo, but cannot be completely out.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/1104/s29.jpgA Spoonful Of Blamite 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png

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

 

*Must be done on Normal or higher difficulty*

You cannot die as it will reset you kill counter.

This can be done in any game mode. A supercombine explosion is when you put so many needles into a enemy, the needles explode and cause instant death.

There are two supercombine weapons that are found in this game:

 

http://i56.tinypic.com/6fmcr5.jpg

Needler - T33 GML: The Needler is a Automatic gun that shoots faster the longer you shoot. This Needler has a magazine that holds 24 needle shots. The amount of needles needed to supercombine different enemies varies upon the enemy and how powerful they are.

 

 

http://i51.tinypic.com/2da13rb.jpg

Needler Rifle - T31 Rifle: Similar to the DMR, but the Covenants version. The Needler Rifle is a semi-auto single shot rifle that has a 3x zoom scope on top. To use the scope, click in the :rs:. A enemy that is shot three times with no shield will cause a super combine explosion.

 

 

http://i54.tinypic.com/35m2yw9.jpg

Needle Kill Medal:

If you get a kill that is caused by a supercombine, you will see this medal appear on your screen. This only shows up in:

 

  • Campaign (Only when scoring is turned on for Campaign)
  • Firefight
  • Matchmaking/Multiplayer
  • Custom Games

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

 

 

While playing the Invasion gametype, after your teammates die. They can chose where to spawn, and if a player is alive, you can spawn next to them. If need be, stick back a little out of enemy sight. And have your teammates rush a area and if they die, have them spawn on you. This must be done in one single Invasion game.

Earned a First Strike Medal in a Matchmaking game.

 

First Strike Medal: A First Strike Medal is to get the first kill in a matchmaking game. This may take some time and patience, but if you are comfortable with rushing and knowing a map/where the other team spawns. This should come easier, and if not, will come with time.

Won a game of Invasion in the 1st phase.

 

Invasion is a gametype in which you are either the Spartans or Elites, and attacking or defending multiple areas. There are three phases found in a game. At the end of each game, the attacking team gets a score based on how far/how many points your team has taken over. Either attacking or defending:

 

Attacking - Gain as many points as you can.

Defending - Stop the attacking team from gaining points.

 

In order to get this Achievement you must be defending, and stop the attacking team from getting past the first Phase. The first Phase lasts 4 Minutes.

Earned a Killing Spree in multiplayer Matchmaking.

Killing Spree Medal: A Killing Spree is to get 5 kills in a row without dying. It doesn't matter how far the kills are spaced out time wise, but you cannot die while getting the 5 kill streak. Here are some tips on killing enemies faster:

 

  • If you see a enemy around a corner, throw a grenade first to damage him, shoot him and/or melee him after. This is to cause damage first so if you both start shooting at the same time, he is already damaged and will die faster.
  • Crouching causes you to not appear on your enemies motion sensor. You can hide behind a corner if you see a enemy coming for you and assassinate him possibly once he walks by.
  • If the enemy is far away, try not bring attention to yourself and just start shooting. Plan where you are going to go and plan ahead.
  • If you can grab a Power Weapon like a Rocket Launcher or Sniper, and you know how to use them correctly, this should be easier for you.
  • Grabbing Active Camo/Invisibility can give you a huge edge as enemies won't see you, and you can go behind the enemy and kill him.

Well it wasn't there lol. Just quoting what I said to him. In a very shortened version that didn't include staying up for 36 hours straight, red bulls, and pizza. :woop:

 

Nice!

 

Cant wait to see Rabid's vids to! I've done H3 and ODST solo on Legendary, so I was gonna hit this one up on it to. The vid's gonna help if I get stuck!

Wow so you get a guide up and no one else gets a chance to even write one since you got it early? how unfair.

 

Did I ever say no one else could write one? umm. No? Someone posted one before this one today. So I thought. Hey, why not just post mine. It comes down to who writes the best guide. Not who comes first. It's not like I'm not permitting anyone else from writing one.

Like all guides that come out "early" no matter how you obtained the game, this guide will be deleted. There is no use updating it at this point it will just be a waste of time. Your guide is timestamped before the official release date. You have took a shot at writing a few guides, you should know these rules.

 

so they delete guides if it's posted prior to the game's release date? lmao - if they delete this guide (which looks amazing btw) then wow, I dunno what to say about that and this site.

Thank you sir. If I could post in another forum separate to others, maybe for guide makers. This wouldn't be here yet. I saw that someone posted a guide already, so I said. I'll just post mine too.

 

But anyway, this guide has taken me a long time and will still be getting lots of info. But I never said no one else could write a guide? And I never knew about posting a guide before release?

Well posting the guide before the release date is obviosuly a high chance someone got the game in a non-legit type way (buying it from someone off ebay for example). What to say about that rule or this site? So you have the game also and are using the guide right now? Most likely not. A lot of it is to stop rushed guides. They have been wanting to put a rule that you cannot even submit a guide to the main site for a few weeks, which I totally agree with personally. The rules are rules, and deleting the guide is just a part of those because other people's gets deleted too, no matter how good the guide may look.

Obviously my guide isn't rushed. But I understand where you are coming from. Lots of people just want their name for a guide. Some troll gave me it when I started my Crackdown 2 guide I believe. O well. I don't rush guides and it takes me 2-3+ weeks to make the guide perfect. But I know others will posts a guide for this game. I don't have a problem with it. It's the best guide that gets put up in the end. And it can always be replaced.

Just save it and repost it after it releases if they do delete it ^^

 

Good tip :p. Hopefully they don't delete it.

It looks awesome so far, especially with the video showing each level specific achievement. Just make sure you have it backed up on your PC and if it does get deleted re-post it. I'll definitely be coming here for any achievements I can't get on my own.
