Halo Infinite: Achievement Guide

A full list of achievements available in Halo Infinite. *Work in progress*

Intro

Here we go boys and girls, I can't believe it's finally happening.

Halo Infinite is launching! and a little earlier than expect.

• This Guide won't be what I usually do. Usually, it's the whole product, in one go. But obviously, we've found ourselves blessed with the Multiplayer section being introduced a month earlier than the campaign. I shall endeavor to make this guide as complete as possible. However, be aware than the campaign segments will not be finished until the 8th December, at the earliest.
  
  
• Most of the Multiplayer Achievements are simple challenges, designed to make sure you use the full bredth of the sandbox to it's fullest. So most of them you'll probably get by accident.

And with that all out of the way, let's dive right in!!!

- Customisation & Training

Customary
Play a custom game.
- Simply boot up a custom game. It doesn't have to have any other player but yourself in the match, so this will be one of the first ones you'll want to do. Remember to end the game and not alt-f4.

Get the Popcorn
View a clip in theater.
- All you have to have done is play a game prior to this. Go to the theater mode, and boot up a recording. As soon as it boots up, your achievement will pop.

Getting Strong Now
Launch into Training Mode for the first time.
- Infinite's new testing ground for new comers, simply boot up 'Academy' from the main menu and go into the the training mode..

Sparring Partners
Change any training mode option.
- Simply jump into the training mode, hit 'training options to change your loadout, and pick a different weapon.

Just the Two of Us
Access your Personal AI.
- Jump into the Tutorial. Watch the cutscene, follow the marker down to where you can pick up your AI. Done!

Make a Little More Noise
Grab a power weapon from the Tutorial armoury.
- This one is actually very easy to miss. In the Tutorial, after getting your AI, simply carry on until you get to the marksmen training. Finish that, then immediately go back the way you've come into the weapon room. Grab a sniper or any other power weapon out of the weapon lockers. Or 

Greased Lightning
Complete the Movement Yard in under 25 seconds.
- When you come to the assault bit (getting MW vibes?, I did), just cruise through as fast as you can. The 25 second time isn't strict so just do it a few times to get an idea of what you need to do, then blast it out. The first time around doesn't count.

Doing Your Part
Complete the Tutorial.
- Just follow the guidelines, nothing too fancy. It's going to be a long ride!!

Sharpshooter
Complete a Weapon Drill.
- Simply go into the weapon drill section, and do any weapon drill. Best to get 3 stars, because it will count towards the next achievement.

Deadeye
Earn 3 stars in a Weapon Drill.
- Not really difficult. Just try and pace your shots, and account for recoil.

Augmented
Earn 3 stars in 5 Tier 3 Weapon Drills.
The same advise for the last one works here. Pace your shoots, and learn the ins and outs of the weapons. The easiest weapons to get 3Stars on are the Assault Rifle, Sniper, and BattleRifle (in my humble opinion.

Passion for Fashion
Wear a new armor customization item.
- Just navigate through the menu: Customise > Armour Hall > Pick your Spartan > Change it's colour. 
Yeah, that easy.

I'm Ready, How 'Bout You?
Change your Spartan's look in the Customise menu.
- This one isn't obvious. You have to go through Customise > Body&AI. There you can change your body type. Simply change the dial one metre, and you'll get the achievement.

"Need a Weapon?"
Try out a new weapon customization item.
- Customise > Weapons Bench > Pick any gun that you have a new skin on, and change it. Boom!!

Reporting for Duty
Change your Spartan Tag.
- Customise > Spartan ID > Change your ID. Fun fact..I've been using the same ID since Halo 3. God I'm old.

Which One of Us is the Machine?
Get and equip a new AI.
- Customise > Body&AI > Change your AI. 'Boop'!!!

That Thing on the Left is the Brake
Test drive a new vehicle customisation.
- Customise > Vehicle Bay > Pick a vehicle you have a new skin with, and change it. Done!

- Battlepass

Clocking In
Complete a Daily Challenge.
Simply complete a daily challenge in MP. This will be one of first achievements you'll get.

We Have a Job For You
Complete a Weekly Challenge.
- Just an extension of the daily challenge, usually a bit hard. This will will require a bit more time. Just keep playing and you'll crack it!

Humble Beginnings
Complete one level in a Battle Pass.
- You earn levels in the Battlepass by completing challenges. Simply play the game, and you'll unlock this quickly.

Battle Tested
Complete a Battle Pass.
- Obviously this one is going to take a while. Reports are that you can finish this with the FP2 battlepass, so you don't have to have finished a paid version. This one is going to take some time. Simply complete your daily, and weekly challenges as fast as possible. Luckily, the battlepass, if you have the full version, does not expire - so you can grind to your hearts content.

Limited Addition
Complete a Limited Time Challenge.
- At the time of writing this, the only way to earn this is by completing all of the Weekly Challenges, and then subsequently the Weekly Ultimate challenge.
- You can get this also from the Fracture event challenges.
- This can be a bit time consuming and involve some luck because some of the challenges can get very specific. Be aware that not all of the weekly challenges are active at once, you can view your Upcoming Challenges too, which will swap in once you complete the active ones. After you complete all of them and there are no upcoming ones left, then the Ultimate challenge will kick in. This is the one you need to unlock the achievement. 

- Challenges

You're Up, Rook'
Play a Ranked Match.
- Easy enough right? You don't have to place high; just that you finish the game. 

All About the Grind
Finish Ranked Placement Matches.
- Play Ranked matches 10 times. After finishing the 10th match you will get ranked based upon your performance. Be aware, you cannot quit out of these matches if you want to get placed.

Peak Performance
Earn 2,000 score in a matchmade game.
- Not as hard as it sounds once you see how many points you rack up. The easiest way to get this is to jump into BTB. 

Sick Burn
Kill an enemy with the Ravager's charged shot in a matchmade game.
- Just hold down the fire button when you're using the Ravagers, one of the new weapon in Halo's sandbox. This will fire a gigantic plasma ball, and usually melt anything that's in your way. Try and find someone with weak shields; that's almost certain a one shot kill.

Brutality
Kill an enemy with melee using a bladed weapon in a matchmade game.
- You have to kill someone with basically any Brute weapon - they're the ones' with the spikey bitz on the front). That includes the Mangler, Skewer, Shock Rifle, and Ravager. Your first guess, the Energy sword doesn't unlock the achievement.

Natural Formation Location Sensation
Gain access to a loot cave in a matchmade game.
Currently only able to get if you're playing Big-Team-Battle. On the map Fragmentation (first BTB map), run to the centre of the map where the forerunner structure is, and use your AI to hack through the door. This will have powerful items in to help your team. Once the door opens, the achievement will pop!

Kebab!
Destroy an enemy vehicle with the Skewer in a matchmade game.
The hardest part of this achievement will be be actually getting the skewer. Once you have acquired it however, simply wait for a vehicle to come around, and pop a shot off, which will almost always be a one-hit kill.

MEDIC!
Revive 3 allies in a matchmade Elimination round.
[Current not possible in Matchmaking]

One Shot, Top Mid!
Mark an enemy located at "Top Mid" in a matchmade game.
Simply mark an enemy (X on Keyboard, down on D-Pad on xbox) who is in the call zone of 'Top Mid'. For example, on 'Aquarius', the middle of the map where the power-up spawns. Enemies in Slayer tend to clump up around the power weapons at the start of the game, so try and get it the. Also works with Bots.

Party Bus
Earn "Mount Up" in a Razorback in a matchmade game.
- This is getting a vehicle from empty to full of allies after honking. There is a fair degree of confusion surrounding this one. So far it seems like you must honk the horn once, and have 2+ Spartans enter the vehicle. 

A Fellow of Infinite Jest
Kill three enemies with the ball in a matchmade Oddball game.
Highly advice playing Bot MP until you get an OddBall game. It's much easier to kill bots than players now that it takes two hits to kill.

Skyhook Shot
"Grapplejack" an enemy flying vehicle in a matchmade game.
Pretty self-explanatory. This one is definitely one to do in BTB. Simply grapple on to a vehicle when you have the equip. It must however, be a flying vehicle: aka, a Wasp or Banshee.

Enemies Everywhere!
Mark 3+ enemies at once in a matchmade game.
- Pinging or marking an item, location, or an enemy is simple, you just need to press 'X' on PC, by default. If you are playing on an Xbox console, you can use the d-pad . You will receive a feedback sound that indicates that you have successfully marked something. Simply do this 3 times.

New Kid on the Block
Earn "Perfect" with a VK78 Commando in a matchmade game.
This one will come with time. The best thing you can do is practice on the training range on lvl3. When it comes to actually fighting players, try and aim downrange at the body for 4 shots, then aim the 5th for the head. This might even pop early if you're just playing the game.

Secret Stash
Place an item in the Razorback's storage in a matchmade game.
Best done in Stockpile. There is space to attach two power seeds into the back of the Razorback (plus the driver, gunner, and passanger). Easy win!

Zone Ranger
Secure 5 zones in a matchmade Strongholds game.
Just jump into BTB and cap a few. It will be easier when you have some support from teammates. 

Do You Even Gift?
Drop a Power Weapon for an ally in a matchmade game.
For this, all you need to do is have an equipped weapon from your invent be dropped, and have another team member pick it up (remember to make sure you've bound the drop weapon button).

Bomb Returned
Repel an enemy grenade with the Repulsor in a matchmade game.
Seems to be a little glitchy. Simply acquire the Repulsor equipment; engage and enemy, and hope they throw out a nade. You might take a few death waiting for someone to throw one, but eventually you'll get it.

Working Remote
Pick up a weapon using the Grappleshot in a matchmade game.
Get the Grappleshot. Fire it at a weapon on the ground or at a spawn station. Done.

Control Freak
Assist in capturing all zones that lead to a score in a matchmade Total Control game.
Again, this one will probably just pop while playing the game. If you want to brute force it however, I a team is strongly advised for better coordination. The gamemode 'Total Control' is another variant found in the BTB playlist.

Peeker's Disadvantage
"Back Smack" an enemy who is zoomed in with a scoped weapon in a matchmade game.
This will more than likely happen at random. But a good place to do it is on BTB. You can get the drop on a lot of snipers if you run behind enemy lines and take advantage of the campers.

- Challenges (cont.)

Back to the Chopper
Earn "Splatter" with a Brute Chopper in a matchmade game.
Currently, BTB is the only mode with Choppers on the map. Splattering is a lot easier than it used to be in Halo games, so all you need to do is get a glanced blow on a Spartan to kill them. Aim for people who haven't seen you, since hijacking also seems to be more forgiving than it used to be. The up side however, is that the game will drop off quite a few Choppa's throughout a match, so you'll have plenty of time to get it.

Multi-class Racer
Drive 4 unique vehicles in a matchmade game.
Another one for BTB. Simply jump into Fragmentation - and they'll be plenty of vehicles to drive. Just grab 4 different ones' during the play session. 

They See Me Rollin
Spectate an ally that is driving a Warthog or Razorback in a matchmade game.
This one will be hard for those Halo Gods around here. You have to Die...
Then just cycle through the player cameras until you find one in a Warthog or Razorback. Done!

Watt Say You?
Earn "Chain Reaction" with a Shock Rifle in a matchmade game.
- This one is going to be very difficult. In order to get a "Chain Reaction" medal, you must kill an enemy with the secondary damage from the Shock Rifle which arks from the original target. 
This is one of those ones that's only going to happen by sheer luck. The easiest way to get it is to have two enemies standing next to each other, with one with knocked shields, and the other full. Two full shots to the shielded one will kill the weakened Spartan.

If you're lucky however, It would be advisable to try and find someone who is simply AFK, drop a weapon by them, melee them, then shoot the weapon, since the ark comes off dropped inanimate objects. 

Running Laps
Capture the flag twice in a matchmade Capture the Flag game.
- You'll get this purely by playing CTF, and have a modicum of skill. There isn't much to say on this, given the procedural nature of every game. Obviously having a team help you will vastly improve your chances. 

Straight to the Bank
Deposit 5 Power Seeds in a matchmade Stockpile game.
A variant of BTB, 'StockPile' is a really fun new mode. Your team must collect 'Power Seeds', and score by putting them into your base; while the other team does the same. This one is a lot easier than 'Running Laps' because there are a lot more Seeds up for grabs. Remember that the enemy team can actually retrieve Power Seeds from your base and return them to there's. Sneaky!
Another tip, the razor can help you bring all 5 seeds back to your base in one journey.

Slaying with Style
Earn a Mythic Medal in a matchmade game.
- This one might confused long time series veterans. A 'Mythic medal' is simply a higher-tier medal. You can currently do this in a Matchmaking Bot-match. So just hop in and try and get one mythic medal. Here is a complete list: 

Overkill: Kill 4 enemies in rapid succession. (and any multikill medal OK)
Running Riot: Kill 15 enemies without dying. (and any spree medals above RR)
Ninja: Kill an enemy by jumping over them and backsmacking them.
Fastball: Kill an enemy with the impact from a thrown grenade (basically, kill an enemy by hitting them with a grenade, NOT by the grenade's explosion)
Perfection: Win a game with 15 or more kills and no deaths.
Quigley: Kill 2 or more enemies with a single round from the S7 Sniper.
Remote Detonation: Kill an enemy by shooting a grenade.

Conclusion

So there we are ladies and gentleman. Obviously there is a long way to go with this guide. I'll be updating it as quickly as possible. I'm not going to rush out some half baked guide that doesn't have the right factual information, so stand by for a full mulitplayer overview in the next few days.

Don't worry guys, this isn't my first time. ;)

[Petrichor]

Medic achievement is now possible to get. Looks like its a limited time game mode, if your team "runs out of respawns" and then someone dies, you can revive them.

[Lier52]

@Redhawk, if it is like any previous game, beating it on a higher difficulty will complete the achievement for lower difficulties. For Armor Lockers I am going to base it on previous games as well, kinda. I would suspect that you'd need to find the 34 unique ones, but it wouldn't need to be on the same play-through as long as each one is found. I doubt you'd be able to find the first one 34 times.

As for threat sensor, I want to say that's like other games where its multiple play through, but armor ability usage would be easy to grind as they just regen over time in the campaign.

[Relyks2000]

Nobody may be able to answer some of these questions about the campaign since it isn't even out yet but I'm new to the Halo world so I thought maybe some good guesses would be possible based on the past games and achievements.
1. When it mentions having to finish the game on different difficulty levels, does that mean literally do each of the difficulty levels? Or may it mean that finishing on higher difficulty also satisfies the lower achievements?
2. When it says things like "Use the Threat Sensor 50 times" or "Access all 34 Mjolnir Armor Lockers" will those likely have to be achieved in one playthrough? Or do you think they add up over multiple playthroughs?

[Zachary3D]

I've been following your guides for the Halo: MCC, and they've been amazing!

Thank you for all the hard work.

[Read the Bible]

Jesus loves you! I warn you of your sins, repent and believe the Gospel! If you love Him then keep His commandments! MAKE THE CHOICE, JESUS OR THE WORLD, JESUS IS ETERNAL, THE WORLD IS PASSING AWAY.

[Gladiator]

The game still crashes why crashing after 3 weeks. Grinding ranked and losing it instantly due to crash

[Psychedelic Adventurer]

Updates and further guides might be a little delayed due to an ulcer in my eye. I’ll try and “SEE” how it goes hue hue hue.

[Hugoku]

The achievement 'All About the Grind' is duplicated.

[Psychedelic Adventurer]

Hope everyone is enjoying getting their wallets rinsed by 343 today with the Tenrai Event.

Re: Further Halo Guides.

- Once Halo Infinite's campaign drops, I'll be adding the rest of the Achievements as close to launch as possible (casual finish date being December 9th-10th, depending on how much time my Spouse will let me devote to it - I know, cucked)

- At the same time, a collectibles guide with Skulls, Towers, Mjolnir Armour Lockers, Forerunner artefacts, etc will be published as a compliment to this Guide.

- A Halo Competitive Guide is being written at this moment. No release date for this one, but I'm hoping to get it out before the campaign releases.

~Peace

[Petrichor]

@Captain John Price and @Amygdala, if you are talking about the "Zone Ranger" achievement, capturing a stronghold is not the same as securing a stronghold. You do NOT have to capture 5 strongholds. You have to wait for an enemy to be taking a stronghold that your team has captured (you will see the blue - if you have default colors on - point with a red outline going around it, which is telling you that an enemy is taking the point), and then you have to get inside the point (contesting it) and either kill the enemy, or make them jump off of the point. You will get a pop up on your screen telling you "zone secured" (as the red outline will go away, and it will return to a fully blue zone). You have to do this 5 times in one game. I believe that this works in bot lobbies as well. I hope this makes sense, as it is kinda hard to explain.
