REMIX!
Complete a Remixed Mission.
Successfully complete any Remix mission in the game.
Beat the Drop
Complete a Remixed Mission without dying.
Attempt this on Easy difficulty on a shorter stage like Pillar of Autumn, engaging enemies from a safe distance and falling back into cover whenever your shields flicker.
Mix Master
Complete an entire Remixed Campaign without dying.
Run this on Easy difficulty, prioritize vehicle combat whenever possible, and never charge into close quarters without a fully charged overshield.
Bad Gas
Destroy 100 Grunt backpacks.
Destroy a total of 100 methane tanks on the backs of Grunts throughout the game.
Plate Tectonics

Bait a Hunter's charge or melee swing, sidestep around them, and fire heavy explosives or a point-blank shotgun blast into their exposed orange spine.
New Whip
Hijack 10 Vehicles.
Hijack a total of 10 enemy vehicles throughout the game.
Disarmed
Dismember 100 Flood parts.
Shotgun blasts and fragmentation grenades are ideal during The Library to dismember large groups of Flood combat forms at once.
Claims Adjuster
Break off 50 Vehicle parts.
Direct rocket fire or continuous vehicle turret rounds onto Covenant Ghosts and Wraiths to strip their wing panels and armor plating.
Make Them Count
Kill 100 enemies with headshots.
Eliminate 100 enemies with headshots. It is best to use the pistol or sniper rifle.
Hot Streak
With the Floor Is Lava Skull activated beat a mission without jumping or dying.
Pillar of Autumn on Easy difficulty is the easiest mission for this run; consider temporarily unbinding your jump button in the control settings to avoid accidental inputs.
Even Tempered
With the Temperamental Skull activated beat Halo without upsetting anyone.
Avoid throwing grenades or using explosive weaponry anywhere near friendly Marines to prevent stray splash damage from turning them hostile.
Like Old Times
Complete Two Betrayals with the Speed Limit, Endurance Spec, Hip Fire, and Armistice Skulls enabled.
Rely heavily on commandeered Banshees and Ghosts to skip intense ground engagements and bypass your movement and hip-fire combat handicaps.
Frugal Fire
Equip Famine, Recession, and Johnny Ammo Tree Skulls and beat a mission without running out of ammo.
Attempt this on Pillar of Autumn on Easy difficulty, frequently swapping to freshly dropped Covenant plasma weapons instead of depleting a weapon completely.
MYTHIC
Complete the Campaign with LASO enabled.
LASO requires strict checkpoint management and extensive use of melee stealth takedowns; pair plasma pistol overcharges with precision shots and memorize encounter triggers to avoid crossfire.
This is My Ship Now
Eliminate Captain Keyes and trap his six avenging Marines in the Autumn’s observation pen.
Right after obtaining the pistol on Pillar of Autumn, shoot Captain Keyes to summon the invincible Marine reinforcements, then backtrack and lure all six into the observation room before triggering the door seal.
Map Quest
Complete The Silent Cartographer without shooting, using grenades, melee, dying, or restarting.
Play on Easy difficulty and sprint past hostile squads; use the Warthog to splatter blocking enemies and take advantage of Active Camo pickups to reach objectives untouched.
That’s My Ride
On Assault on the Control Room get to the Banshee before the Elite.
When approaching the outdoor platform where the Banshee sits, sprint forward immediately with a Sniper Rifle or Rocket Launcher to stagger or kill the Elite before he enters the cockpit.
Arm's Length
On 343 Guilty Spark complete the first floor without taking a hit.
Play on Easy difficulty and clear Grunts and Jackals from maximum range with your Magnum before entering the facility corridors to avoid stray plasma bolts.
Clean Lap
On The Maw complete the warthog run without being forcibly ejected from your vehicle.
Stick to the center lanes during the escape sequence, brake lightly before steep ramps, and steer clear of uneven debris that can violently flip your vehicle.
Jiralhanae Conservationist
On The Most Dangerous Game don’t kill any rampaging Brutes.
Keep your distance from berserking Brutes, kite them toward secondary obstacles, and focus purely on progressing through the mission checkpoints without returning fire.
Food Critic [Hidden]
Listen to the Thirsty Grunt talk about his eating habits.
In the final hallway of The Maw just before the bridge jump, step into the side alcove containing the harmless Grunt and remain standing beside him until his full spoken dialogue concludes.
All Shield, No Yield
Complete any level on Heroic difficulty or higher without taking health damage.
Pillar of Autumn is the safest level for this requirement; immediately break line of sight and wait for your energy shield to recharge fully whenever you take fire.
