    @9 it says -1 gamer score up at the top of this page, but on the list of all the achievements it says "N/A" so I'm guessing it's a bug on the sight when an achievement's score is N/A it says it's worth -1 on this page.

    hi guys, i have done this achievement now, takes 8-10 hours (if u know wat your doing) Tips: Dont do this achievement if you dont know how to headshot with DMR or Needle rifle. Using needler is good for killing high shielded elite's. DMR and needler to highly needed. Dont forget its a camping misson :D
  • Soulreaper 1337

    Thursday, September 16, 2010 @ 11:19 AM

    @20 all of the abilties are mute points on legendary Shield drop is the most valuable because it heals while you are in it but it only takes a few explosions for it to be destroyed (2 or 3 usually) and not only can enemies come in there but on occasion when you drop the shield a grenade or explosive round that was close will be in the shield when it opens up so it turns into a contained explosion with you in it

    I'm just slowly going to approach this one mission at a time, rather then try to pull the 10 hour marathon. So far i've finshed the first 4 missions and i'm going to try Tip Of The Spear tonight. So far tho, if you stay back a bit and pick people off and pick up head shot weapons it's fairly easy. Also Noble Team members are REALLY helpful. If you are having a hard time, stick close to them, use them as distractions and shields (they can't die). I love this game and this achievement. My girlfriend can beat the game on legendary when she's in the game with me, but she would cry if she attempted it on her own. It really separates the dedicated and solid players from the rest. Outside of this achievement they seem really easy. I only have 4 left after moderate playing time for the f

Good luck to anyone starting,oh and make sure you always carry a plamsa pistol,and a ranged weapon! You'll need it...trust me! :D

  • MasterMack002

    Monday, September 20, 2010 @ 05:06 PM

    I'm on the 6th mission. The only advice I can give is to keep a plasma pistol on you to take out the pesky elites. Just overcharge it to take out their shields then soot them in the head with a head shot capable weapon (DMR, needle rifle, magnum or even the sniper).
  • RottenPower

    Monday, September 20, 2010 @ 08:02 PM

    Definately agree with plasma pistol. Keep them precision weapons in hand and two shots will take down elites. Brutes are another story, but all the same. The best tip I can pass down for hunters is to keep something like Armor Lock or Hologram with you. It's very possible to completely avoid a gunfight with Hologram armor skill.
  • Kenjamin

    Tuesday, September 21, 2010 @ 09:57 AM

    Most of the hunter battles are un-avoidable from what I've seen. In any case, this is the achievement that seperates the men from the boys (and the gamerchicks from the little girls). This is one to display proudly.

    Getting this achievement was so much fun :3 If you like the process of beating retro vidya games back in Nintendos prime.. than this ones good for you. Beating this on legendary is all about repeating it over and over and over again, while also memorizing what enemies will be there and where they will go.
  • KilljaKK

    Friday, September 24, 2010 @ 12:55 PM

    I got this and I believe the best way to do this is with this equipment: DMR/Needle Rifle Plasma Pistol Sprint Shield drop is useless because a drop ship (which there's a lot of) will destroy it in seconds. Sprinting can get you out of the room you're in and to an empty area of complete safety. The plasma pistol is invalueable. It makes any elite a 2 shot kill if you're practiced enough. Other tips: -Never let the marines drive, they're terrible -Avoid using gravity hammers and swords. As fun as they are, it's too much risk. -If you're playing a level with other spartans, let them do most of the work. -Killing priority goes Jackels, the fast Jackels, Grunts, Leaders. This may seem out of order but 20 small guys shooting is more deadly than 1 big guy. -Look for checkpoints af
  • CodeinePoptart

    Friday, September 24, 2010 @ 04:49 PM

    ^This guy is correct. Except for what he said about the bubble shield, it may not hold up against their bullets but what it is really good for is healing you during a fight. I couldn't have beaten the last mission if it wasn't for having a bubble shield (I didn't have any bullets).

  • Villainous Foil

    Saturday, September 25, 2010 @ 02:57 PM

    I completed this one a couple of hours ago. This is what I believe it's needed: Headshot - You need to have a quick and precise aim, always going for the headshot (DMR or Plasma Rifle recommended) Plasma Pistol - A charged blast will take down the shields of an Elite. Quickly change to your secondary weapon (a precision one) and one single bullet on the head will take him down. Patiente - Don't rush it. Play it safe and always try to take as much enemies from a distance as possible using a precise and ranged weapon. Armor Abilities - Choose them wisely. Bubble Shield is perhaps the most useful since it will give you cover for a brief time but most importantly you can use it as a med pack when you health is low.

  • Darkmeteor

    Wednesday, September 29, 2010 @ 12:41 AM

    Its hard.., no matter what you do, its really hard, its like 1 - 2 hours per mission, the hardest for me was the last one, i fell into like 2 bottlenecks, where i had only rifle, and a crap submachine gun, and i had to fight a horde of white elites and gold..., it was so slowly to kill with strategic all of them..., and when you have to go to the last part, you have to face like 5 red elites, they are really crazy, but at least here you should have many weapons to use..., its hard, but you can do it slowly... Getting this done, doesn't proof you have skill..., it just means that you are very patient..., at least its something good.
  • shaggy32003

    Wednesday, September 29, 2010 @ 04:59 PM

    This one wasn't actually all that bad. Just make sure you keep a DMR handy... The hardest part is the last misson right before the end. Just got to have lots of patience and go for them headshots.
  • LethalxSmurf

    Wednesday, September 29, 2010 @ 05:42 PM

    Quite easy just time consuming. Make sure you have a DMR and a plasma pistol. The plasma pistol charged and shot at an Elite takes out his shield, then one headshot with the DMR and dead! Easy!

  • Turbowheel

    Thursday, September 30, 2010 @ 12:56 AM

    To do this you need a plasma pistol and a precision weapons. The assault rifle sucks don't use it unless you can't help it but always try to keep a plasma pistol on you for the elites. Medpack is good but make sure you are a good distance from the enemy and behind cover. Use the cover as much as you can so you take the least amount of shots. Be strategic and use your Noble teammates for a distraction and flank the enemies. Also use the grenades as much as you can and aim the stickies for the elites only. It will at the least destroy their shields if not kill them.
  • Turbowheel

    Thursday, September 30, 2010 @ 01:03 AM

    Also, you want to headshot the jackals and grunts right. In ODST, it was learned that the jacals get headshot by their jaw usually(I observed it).If you have to confront a hunter then use any heavy weapons you got and stickies(I observed on Heroic in ODST that three stickies kill a hunter) and aim for their back only if you can. One more thing, know where the sword guys are and keep a GOOD distance from them or you die.
  • Megas Elekmatos

    Thursday, September 30, 2010 @ 08:19 AM

    First off; grats to anyone who has finished this achievement already. I did it about 2 days ago. I have to say that I didn't think it was any different from heroic until I hit the Long Night Of Solace Level. So many Elites. Everywhere. Surprisingly the bridge part of the level (inside the Corvette) didn't give me any problems. That was until the final Elite somehow managed to run back through the doors I came from and joined the rest waiting for me. That's when I started taking the whole affair more seriously. A lot of people have had issues with the Pillar of Autumn and I don't blame them. I mostly came through it since I planned ahead. By the time I arrived at the Boneyard I cleared everything and picked up the Fuel Rod Cannon from an Elite and a Grunt and saved it until the part where y
  • Megas Elekmatos

    Thursday, September 30, 2010 @ 08:22 AM

    you have to fight the 2 hunters. That ensured I didn't have any problems with them. As for the last room with the Ultras. What can I say. Hologram/DMR/Plasma Pistol. They never stood a chance. It was extremely satisfying but it was in no way easy. I still think it is the way the campaign is meant to be played and my hats off to Bungie for giving us this much. For anyone currently attempting this I can only suggest the following. Range is key at all times unless you have nowhere to go (which is really rare). Preferable weapons are DMR/Needle Rifle/Sniper Rifle/Pistol. Keeping a Plasma Pistol on hand makes fights against Elites a whole lot easier. Also helps taking down those shields that Jackals carry but I got used to just shooting them once in the exposed area of the shield where they car
  • Megas Elekmatos

    Thursday, September 30, 2010 @ 08:23 AM

    carry their weapon (exposing them to fire) and then immediate headshot. Some people say use sprint so you can just skip certain areas to avoid fighting but that approach won't always help. I also know that the game throws armor lock your way quite frequently but if you can get your hands on Active Camo or Hologram; you're set. Active Camo is a Godsend for sniping & getting through to certain areas if you're hurting and have to avoid fire at all costs. Even if it's just to get yourself into a better position. Hologram is my favorite though since (unless they see you cast it) enemies will fire away at your holo while you fire on them or move to a better vantage point. Even if you have an Energy Sword or a Gravity Hammer; melee is short of suicide. Unless you are completely sure you'll get yo
  • Megas Elekmatos

    Thursday, September 30, 2010 @ 08:25 AM

    your hit(s) in (since some enemies will only fall after 2; never tried against hunters) avoid melee at all costs. Especially if there are still other enemies in the vicinity. You WILL get mowed down. As a last note; I know a lot of people have had issues with hunters. 2 pairs are actually avoidable. The pair in Nightfall (when defending Jun) despawn (don't know why) if you make your way towards the farthest section of the base area you are in. Giving you a checkpoint and allowing you to progress. I found that out when I went back there to get some ammo. As for the Hunter trio guarding one of the transmission devices in the New Alexandria level; you can completely avoid them altogether. Either sprint like mad and doge their fire (which I didn't intend on doing) or use the Active Camo you re
  • Megas Elekmatos

    Thursday, September 30, 2010 @ 08:26 AM

    receive earlier on in the level. I went in and never had to fire a shot on them. As stated before; the last pair in The Pillar of Autumn level can be dispatched quickly if you kept the Fuel Rod Cannon from the Boneyard. Sorry for the long post; guess I got carried away. Anyway; if you're currently doing Legendary I hope some of this helps. For all those who have already completed the achievement; I hope you enjoyed the play-through as much as I did =)

    this is really a hard achievement to get, but a must have for the real fans ;) ive got a few tips to make it easier for you to get them: 1. when fighting elites try to plasma overcharge and headshot them (especcialy zealots are incredibly irritating without combo) 2. hunters are stupid! just send a hologram so theyll turn their back at you. 3. dont be afraid of backtracking for ammo
  • loekes

    I did this and am very proud of it. Gets frustrating at times, but in the end it's worth it. Quick tip: the plasma pistol is your friend! I used the plasma pistol with a DMR for the majority of the campaign and boy, elites and brutes are MUCH easier to kill after you take down their shields with an overcharge.

    Beat the campaign on Heroic first, no help, even though it's unlikely you'd need it... Then go to Legendary. I was just thinking about how impossible this would be and now, only three missions left. Screw the Assault Rifle, stay with the DMR.

  • Cambra

    Sunday, November 14, 2010 @ 03:53 AM

    Took me 4hours to do nightfall, i havent played halo since 2006 and thought i'd play reach and went straight to legendary, it makes you good, the DMR is the best to kill elites, next to the pistol (spartan pistol), you need to headshot 2-3 times in a row then when they stagger just shoot them one more time anywhere, the only problem is if you fire too many bullets you might have to die and do it again without missing, pistol works the same way just faster but slightly weaker, If you ever played WoW it's just like raiding hard modes, everytime you wipe/die it's progression until you learn to do it right. I went to multiplayer after doing this and got first place every time, and 85% of my kills were headshots with DMR/needle rifle, lol, but I suck with the actual sniper rifle, I think it's b

    Beat it on Legendary took me about a week or so playing it at night after the kids went to bed. A few levels were pretty difficult but some others not so much. Nightfall was a toughy, and part two of long night were the most difficult for me. Did it alone with no help at all.

    Ive done it now but it was pretty hard. The best thing i found is a plasma pistol and a DMR. Overcharge youre plasma at elites then headshot them with youre DMR. Also use needler weapons (needle rifle, needler) are very affective against any brutes.

    fun, challenging, and very FRUSTRATING as times!!! But it was worth it. I used a lot of youtube videos for help on this one. There's tons of places you DON'T have to really fight. AI in this one isn't too bad, your teammates do a lot of work at times.
  • Purepkliam

    Wednesday, December 22, 2010 @ 12:26 PM

    This is actually quite easy. My tips would be not to do it all in one day, just do 2 missions a day and I worked backwards from the pillar of autum to winter contigency to get the hardest mission out of the way. Just use plasma pistol and DMR on elites and they'll be dead in minutes. The only time is strategy doesn't work on elites is elite zealots. But however, you can just EMP them twice then headshot them with the DMR (thats what I did when theres 5 elite zealots at the end of pillar of autum) Just remember not to waste ammo take regular breakes and this achievement will be yours soon.

  • ZeroTalent

    Wednesday, December 29, 2010 @ 07:29 AM

    A good tip I found useful is giving your heavy weapons (Rkt, Sniper) to a team mate when it is down to one round of ammo. This way your team mate will have infinite heavy ammo and hopefully the AI will help out until they inevitably die or get left behind...
  • Ace122095

    Wednesday, December 29, 2010 @ 01:32 PM

    Plasma Pistol, DMR, you're good. Doing this without beating the campaign first (Like I did) makes it that much harder because you won't know what you're supposed to do half the time... But it's still fun. Pillar of Autumn is quite the nuisance.

    Wednesday, January 12, 2011 @ 06:15 AM

    This achievement is pretty much impossible if you don't keep a Plasma Pistol + DMR handy at all times. Plasma Pistol then headshot for Elites, headshots for everything else. Make sure to always switch for new Plasma Pistols so you don't run out, as Elites tend to come in packs. Sprint is pretty much the only useful armor ability on solo Legendary, except on Exodus (Jetpack) and against Hunters (Hologram+Shotgun) Stay away from everything. You WILL get killed in only a couple of hits, even if you think it's safe. If a sticky grenade explodes anywhere near you, you will die in one hit. And for the love of god don't shoot the Hammer guy until all of his friends are dead.
  • LovableCrazee

    Wednesday, January 12, 2011 @ 06:19 AM

    Sorry for the double post but I forgot to mention one thing: Grunts are more dangerous than they look. They are the most dangerous enemies in the game. Always kill them first. It only takes one to lob a grenade to kill you in one hit, or to take your shields down in only one hit with their Plasma Pistol. I hope this helps

    ATTENTION ANYBODY HAVING TROUBLE WITH NIGHTFALL: when you are supposed to save and help the militia defend their home you can continue with the level and ignore them and its will skip that whole ordeal. also, the sword has only one instance of use: the first part of the corvette in long night of solace. hit those first two elites and then drop below and let the others attract them while you turn them into mincemeat. be patient. plasma rifle works alright for lowering shields if the plasma pistol isnt available (which i find hard to believe)

    this one is quite simple. the more times you die, you will slowly but surely progress and you will know more about their moves. you dont really need the power weapons to per vale, you need a plasma pistol and a head shot weapon (DMR, Needle rifle etc).

  • Brutalsleeper

    Saturday, February 05, 2011 @ 08:51 PM

    I don't think it's as hard as people are making out, if anyone is stuck just keep hammering away at it. It's more about persistence perseverance and learning when to use certain weapons than it is about skill.
  • Brutalsleeper

    Saturday, February 05, 2011 @ 09:01 PM

    Although a few things to remember. 1) Grunts can be lethal with their grenades, take them down quick and fast. 2) Any situation where you are up against a lot of Covenant start taking down the weakest ones first, E.g Jackels before Elites. This will mean your reducing the amount of guns firing at you in the quickest possible time. 3) Use weapons you are comfortable with but don't be afraid to use weapons your not so good with if the situation demands it, if you switch to a power weapon stay close to the weapon you dropped for it and return to pick it up again, Some times it's worth leaving some rockets behind if you can take a full DMR ahead. Sorry for double post.

    Wednesday, February 09, 2011 @ 10:10 PM

    this really isn't as hard as people are making it out to be, i took my time and finnished it in around 10 hours, some levels demand more concentration than others, new alexandria being one as well as pillar of autumn, the bubble sheild is useless in large gunfights as the amount of concentrated gunfire directed towards you makes it last no more than 5 seconds, best bet is to go with hologram. Camping is vital as keeping a plasma pistol as a sidearm! always pick up a DMR even if you have rockets! and for the love of god! never! EVER! pick up the jet pack, it may as well be a big sign plastered on your chest that reads "SHOOT ME DOWN!"

    This was indeed a tough one... Took me a good 10hrs+, but I finally nailed it! Yay for me! / It's about the hardest achievement I have ever tried to get, but then I suck at Xbox 360 FPS games :P Go slow, take your time and expect to play certain chapters again and again and again... If you find yourself overwhelmed with Elites and manage to kill one (like in the final battle on Pillar of Autumn before the big gun), run around and try to trigger a checkpoint, that way you don't have to kill the same Elites several times. I checkpointed all 4 Elites in that final area :D Good luck!

    Tuesday, February 22, 2011 @ 06:44 AM

    This is definitely hard, but as many people have said, just take it checkpoint-by-checkpoint; if you get really stuck on one bit, turn off the xbox for a few hours and come back a bit later, it really makes a huge difference! :) Also, turn 'Team Scoring' on - it means you'll get many credits for all the enemies you kill (and re-kill, after you die and have to kill them again...), so it's not all bad. :)

  • joyrider333

    Sunday, March 06, 2011 @ 09:15 PM

    Im done with about 6 of them my advice always keep a DMR they are insanely helpful. As a secondary have a power weapon like rockets or fuel rods. If not using a power weapon use a needler, needle rifle, assault rifle, spiker or plasma pistol. Also look around you may find some extra power weapons. On Exodus there is a hidden sniper excellent for taking out brutes and jackal snipers. On Pillar of Autumn there is a hidden sniper and Spartan Laser both helpful for taking down ghosts and shades. Also stay back, pop in and out while taking shots, focus fire on one enemy at a time, stay out of vehicles, make good use of armor abilities, always try to have spare grenades, don’t ever rush an elite/brute/hunter, never let your guard down. Good Luck and happy weapon hunting.

    Monday, March 21, 2011 @ 12:17 AM

    Haha this was a really fun achievement to get. I think the hardest part was the last level nearing the end. I got to the part where there are 3 elite majors and I actually ended up getting Emile to kill them and then he even went on to kill the hunters for me what a pal. After that i was trying to weapon juggle and my DMR disappeared before the final fight,(I think Emile ate it.) so I ended up having to do the final fight without a DMR -_-* All in all, pretty fun and a great way to finish up my Halo Reach set. (until the next map pack that is...)

Melee weapons arn't useless- is you use them only on single enemies on the final part of the last level i killed all the brutes (even the boss ones with fuel rod and plasma launcher) with a hammer i got off a chieftan and a sword. also sneak when you can and assassinate elites one by one the quick way to remain unseen. use every power weapon availble bar spartan laser except for shades

    Sunday, May 01, 2011 @ 12:13 PM

    i thought the game was pretty easy and it made it rly fun, except for the dang elite ultras and generals. Swords demolish elites in two swings so use them. The needler rifle is surprisingly effective especially when the elites supercombine b/c hitting those jumping dinos with a headshot can be challenging sometimes.
  • catcher5.55

    Sunday, May 01, 2011 @ 12:15 PM

    Just conserve your ammo for the DMR and remember to scour the levels for ammo crates hidden throughout. it makes your life much easier. P.S. the spiker dominates other brutes

    by far easiest halo to complete (legendary). new health bar, more weapons, un-killable noble team, armor abilities, hammer chieftans suck ass now, and they took out the flood. anybody who claims this is hard obviously hasnt played previous halos legendary solo.

  • Thugsley

    Friday, May 13, 2011 @ 09:27 PM

    Completed this yesterday along with heroic and the regular legendary cheevos. 325G thankyou very much! Stay back, play smart, use noble teammates as bait, profit. Hardest parts for me personally were the elite-fest on the corvette, and the final brute-fest on the pillar of autumn. Ironically, after the brutes went down to clear the path for the landing, the 3 zealot elites took me AGES to kill with their friggin fuel rods and dual wield plasma rifles. Pillar of autumn level was the longest on legendary by far, took me almost 3 hours And for the hunters, always let my team mate take their attention and shotgun in the back when they are preoccupied. The level where theres the hunters in the flying level without a teammate, i rushed in and out without killing any of them :p

    Saturday, May 14, 2011 @ 03:17 AM

    Hey guys, I have a couple questions and I'd really appreciate If someone answered them for me. 1) if you already have completed the campaign on an easier difficulty and decide to do all missions on legendary hence finishing the campaign on legendary, does the other achievement also pop or do you have to do the campaign as if it were fresh out of the box. 2) if both achievements pop do you also get the achievements for Completing the game on simpler difficulties hence the heroic one. Thank you and please respond I really appreciate it. :)
  • mickyblue1988

    Reach is by far the most challenging Halo game ever. I recently went back to play Halo 3 on heroic, and I literally had to check and re-check to make sure I wasn't playing on easy. It's that big of a difference. Awesome feeling when I got this.
  • Some Guy

    Friday, July 01, 2011 @ 11:50 PM

    It was definitely hard (considering i'm kinda a newb) and it took be several days to do it. For me, armor abilities pretty much saved my life. For example, if i didn't have active camo in nightfall or bubble shield in long night of solice i probably would not be able to get through the levels nearly as quickly. Also, the four elites at the end of the pillar of autumn (3 plasma rifle dual wielding zealots and one field marshall with a fuel rod gun and an energy sword, i think)can be easily killed but whacking them with a gravity hammer from the chieftain before. If they take notice of you, they will charge, so all you have to do is stay behind something so that they can't hit you and when they get close enough, hit them with it and they should die in two hits.

    I didn't clock a lot of hours getting this one. However, I did stretch it out over almost two weeks (multiplayer got in the way). My friends didn't get this game until much later than I. So, I was forced to do it alone... and since I've been a Halo junkie for like 6 years I went straight to Legendary. I didn't expect this to be considered hard, (admittedly it was, but I'm not incredible at Halo).

  • niko da bos

    Wednesday, August 24, 2011 @ 10:21 AM

    personally found this much easier than halo2/3 legendary solo, just because we have all these armour abilities to abbuse. not to mention noble team has invincible plot armour, they can be stuck with nades over 100 times to no avail. no matter how much they beefed up elites, that EMP is still their biggest enemy. one short plasma pistol blast and a headshot with any precision weapon will make quick work of most enemies. the power weapons stashed all over each level also give you a huge advantage. and as always if you suck at halo, you can just speed-run thru like a wuss :P. and im pretty sure most people didnt even finish the last level on the mac cannon. they simply waited for the guy to say "take the shot!" then hopped on. i however, did not know about this trick :P

    @Kelpto - They should stack, yes. This is implied in the guide itself too as it states that a single playthrough on Legendary will net you 440G (all the difficulty based achievements plus the mission completion ones). Also, check the speedrun videos for the missions on youtube - there are so many fights that can be avoided making even legendary relatively easy for some missions.

I've beaten the game solo on Legendary, and there's a Legendary symbol in the completion slot for each mission like there should be but no dice.

  • WartyHogger

    Saturday, March 03, 2012 @ 12:28 AM

    This was stressful and fun. Really really hate those elite majors, especially when there is more than one. Last level will take you around 2-3 hours. The very last part was fun. Make sure you have full health, hide on the stairs or under the gun, wait for them to say "now spartan", hop in, charge up, shoot, gg. Needler every chance you get on unshielded enemies, only 3 needles to blow up enemies with no shield. Make every single shot count. Good luck, so glad to join the few, but many with this achievement. :)Hope the next few halo games have achievements like this, as it's cakewalk on co-op.

    This was entertaining to say the least, thanks to Bungie for a challenging yet not impossible achievement (cough some of their multiplayer achievements for Halo 3 coughcough). Although I have to say the last mission did get a little annoying at the end there.

    Definitely was not as hard as I was expecting. Just play it smart. For some maps let the rest of noble team draw fire while you slowly pick off enemies. Son't run aimlessly into a firefight. For the latter levels, you will definitely want a plasma pistol with you at all times. Keep these tips in mind and you should breeze through it.

  • utrewqas

    Thursday, February 21, 2013 @ 04:33 PM

    At first I was DAFUQ but you eventually get used to be one-shotted =). Took me about 7-8 hours to do the cheevo. Most missions are really easy as long as you keep distance from the enemies. But seriously Long Night of Solace was terrible... - quit like 2 times at the point when you enter the corvette. Btw later I watched some speedruns in youtube - you can check them out if you have trouble.

    I got this achievement. If you're having a hard time, pick up the plasma pistol that grunts and jackals drop and dual that with the DMR or human pistol. That way, you'll take down elites with ease. Charge the plasma pistol, shoot it off and when their shields are down, just pick them off with the DMR, pistol or whatever gun you get your hands on like the needle rifle.

    And a little tip, don't walk into the final area (just before the cannon) without having a power weapon of some sort. Walking in with no ammo in my DMR and only a couple shots for my plasma pistol was a bad idea.

  • Violent Jmann

    Sunday, January 26, 2014 @ 05:20 PM

    Problems with this. 1. The check points are not there when you really need them. Once you have killed a tough enemy and check point should pop up. 2. The guns that are dropped are crap and rare. And once your out of ammo it is mission impossible. The reason he got to do this achievement and that is it so hard is because too many fuckheads commented on how easy Halo 3 was on legendary. What they didn't mention is that they did it in a 4 co-op mode. So the rest of us must suffer. I also noticed a lot of the achievements are glitched. Why not for the best? Anyone got a glitch method to get this achievement without the pain?

    - Just got it, took me 3 days to do - Plasma Pistol/DMR combo for the Elites. (Charged Pistol shot + DMR headshot) - Needle Rifle worked well against Brutes. (3 shots anywhere and they blow up) - For Hunters I used a sniper if available. (I had to use a shotgun in the last mission, would not recommend) - Remember to let your AI Spartans sponge damage for you because they're literally invincible lol

    A few of the missions can be run through. Nightfall (mission 3) and Exodus (mission 6) for example have plenty of shortcuts that skip most of the big fights.
