PrettyMama Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 So I'm having an issue with this achievement... I got it for myself, but my husband's account won't seem to unlock it!! He repeatedly jumped down and assassinated the elite (only traditional assassination rather than the new one, EVERY time...) so I tried for him and managed to get the full assassination THREE times, but no unlock. Did it exactly the same way I did mine... Any ideas? We stopped sprinting after jumping off the cliff and landed on the dude's back and assassinated... Wondering if it's a glitch or a problem with the account.. Has anyone had this issue before?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyMama Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Well that will teach me for not looking properly on this tiny screen. I just read one of the stickies; still interested in input, but should we just keep trying it to see if it will trigger? I'm just wondering, as we've had issues with other achievements on his account (doing exactly what he should be & not unlocking) if it's even POSSIBLE for an account to just be generally glitchy with unlocks??? I've never ever had a problem like this with either of my accounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGoogles Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 This achievement is rather picky. Just keep trying and attempting other methods and it should unlock with time. Also, you can edit your first post and include the information from your second post via the Edit button. It's considered spam if you double-post. Just a heads up.

RBmaster9345 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Try altering your timing on the jump, sprint release and the assignation itself. There are a lot of things that have to go right for this to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axxo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah i have a problem with it 2, been trying the last 2 hours and got like 60 - 70 perfect assassinations and it wont unlock, and no im not a noob im not sprinting when im assassinating him.

L3git L4dle Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Me and my friend had a similar problem with this, he unlocked without a problem but it wouldn't unlock for me. What we ended up doing was I transferred my account to his console and it worked perfectly. It seems that you have to recover your gamertag to another box to get it to work. This should also work for any other achievements that don't unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP was just lucky to have scored it on the first try; her xbox had absolutely nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axxo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) I know what was diffrent from my last billion tries, this is the first time my shield was down when i assassinated him, check my video on bungie and you will see, i guess youre shield has to be down when youre going for the assassination! http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=16148131&player=aXXo22 Edited April 4, 2011 by axxo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBmaster9345 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 no, I got the achievement with full shields. like we said, it's a glitchy achievement. There was actually a strategy to take your own shields down prior to the jump to make it easier to be a "fatal" fall. Didnt make much difference for me though. I got it one maybe my 20th try, no joke. Like 10min worth of attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
