The achievements found in Halo Reach are weird bunch. They're pretty much divided up into four categories; those you get from the Campaign, those you get from cheaping the Firefight mode, those acquired through the menu and those you get playing multiplayer matchmaking. For the campaign achievements, you'll need to be playing in Normal or harder, unless specified otherwise. No playing on easy to get achievements here.
For the achievements that can be gained through the Firefight mode, go to the file browser in Reach and search for the gametype file called “GRCHEEVOS” from user The Juda. That’s me! Use this setup to make getting the Firefight Achievements a breeze. For the matchmaking ones, there’s no easy way around it – you’ll just have to slug it out and eventually get them through hard work, determination and you know, having fun.
A Monument To All Your Sins
Gamerpoints: 150Completed every mission in Halo: Reach alone, on Legendary.
When you combine this cheevo with the”God’s must be strong” cheevo, it sure does give you an incentive to complete the game on Legendary all alone. No co-op is allowed through any part of the game for this achievement.
A Storage Solution
Gamerpoints: 5Used the File Browser to upload a file to your File Share.
After playing a round or some campaign, exit out to the Theatre on the main menu and fire up your recorded gameplay in the temporary files. Take a snapshot of anything you like using the camera icon on the menu and then exit out. Go to the File Browser and load up Local Files to see your file. Hit X for the file options and choose Upload to File Share. When you do, you’ll get the achievement.
An Elegant Weapon…
Gamerpoints: 10Killed 10 enemies in a Firefight or Campaign session with the DMR.
Again a rather easy weapon related achievement. Equip DMR rifle, the one that lets you zoom in and pop enemies at a medium distance – pull trigger, hit enemy. Repeat 9 more times without dying. Using the GRCHEEVOS game type and using the NINJA load out, you will net you this reward in about 4 seconds in a Firefight Match.
An Honor Serving
Gamerpoints: 25Reach the rank of Captain in the UNSC.
Reaching Captain isn’t as bad as reaching Lt. Corporal as you only need 210K credits. ONLY 210K credits. Again, this will take some time and there are no easy short cuts.
A New Challenger
Gamerpoints: 10Complete all of the Daily Challenges in a given day.
In the Menu, there will be a listing for Challenges. Once you enter here, you can see a list of the daily challenges that are set. They can range from a number a specific objectives, but they must be completed that day. It can be a lot of work for 10 points, so you may want to wait until some of the easier challenges come up.
A Spoonful of Blamite
Gamerpoints: 10Killed 10 enemies in Firefight or Campaign with a supercombine explosion.
When you use the Needler or Needle rifle, you can stick a number of the needles onto the enemy so that they will explode. It can be tricky to find enough Needlers in the campaign at one time to pull it off, but using the GRCHEEVOS gametype in firefight, you will need to turn the damage down to 100% so that you can get the combine explosion. If you leave it at 300% they will be dead before the explosion goes off.
Banshees, Fast and Low
Gamerpoints: 25
Hijacked a Banshee during the Reach Campaign.
There are only certain few times that Banshees appear in the game and get close enough to hijack. The easiest part seems to be during the Tip of the Spear mission at the Rally Point Bravo. There will be two Banshees flying around near the spire. Head up the right side to the pipes there and hop up on them. Shoot the Banshee as it gets close and then get near it as it dives down. Jack away for the Achievement.
Be My Wingman, Anytime
Gamerpoints: 5Let a teammate spawn on you 5 times in an Invasion Matchmaking game.
During the Invasion gametype, when you die, you have the ability to select your spawn point. It can be a static spot on the map or it can be on a teammate. If a teammate uses you as a respawn point 5 times, then you will get this. Best way to get the achievement is to get closer to the action and stay out of harm’s way and away from enemies so they are able to spawn.
Blaze of Glory
Gamerpoints: 25Scored 200,000 points in a Firefight game.
Just like the 2 previous score based achievements, you can use the GRCHEEVOS gametype to keep on going and going like some kind of rabbit or something and reach 200K in points.
Cool File, Bro
Gamerpoints: 5Recommended a file to someone.
Go into the File Browser from the start menu and go down to either most recommended or most download. You will have the choice of screens or movies and so forth. Select one and then hit X to bring up the file options. Choose “Recommend to friends” and there’s another achievement down.
Crowd Control
Gamerpoints: 10Earned a Killionaire medal in Firefight.
An easy achievement to nab while using the GRCHEEVOS gametype in firefight, you need to kill ten enemies within four seconds of each other. Simply go nuts with unlimited ammo on a crowd of grunts and you’ll get this in no time.
Doctor, Doctor
Gamerpoints: 5Used a Health Pack to replenish life after taking body damage.
During the second mission, one of the first buildings you reach after driving the truck – not, if you were after the achievement of course- will have health packs on the wall. Simply use one up and feel 5 gamer points better.
Dust and Echoes
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 8th mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 8th mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
Firestarter
Gamerpoints: 10Scored 50,000 points in a Firefight game.
Using the GRCHEEVOS gametype, you can simply just keep on killing and killing until the score counter in the bottom right reaches 50K.
Folks Need Heroes
Gamerpoints: 50Completed the Campaign on Heroic difficulty.
If you are a true Halo player then this is the difficulty that you started the campaign on. See it through to the end and nab yourself a deserved 50 points.
Game, Set, Match
Gamerpoints: 25Completed a Firefight set on Legendary without dying.
Using the GRCHEEVOS gametype, set the match to one round and set the difficulty to legendary. One set will be 3 rounds of 5 waves with an additional Bonus Round at the end. It will take about 15 minutes to complete but once you do… 25 Points.
Gods Must Be Strong
Gamerpoints: 125Completed the Campaign on Legendary difficulty.
This achievement is for the truly masochistic. Take your time through the campaign on this setting and the 125 points will easily be yours. Ok, not easily – but it will be yours nonetheless.
Heat The Pipe
Gamerpoints: 75Scored 1,000,000 points in a Firefight game.
Using the GRCHEEVOS gametype file, simply keep on killing and killing and killing some more. To get one million points, it took takes about 90 minutes to reach it.
I Didn’t Train to Be a Pilot
Gamerpoints: 10Killed 3 of the anti-aircraft batteries during the 8th mission.
In the night time flying mission over New Alexandria, there will be multiple anti-aircraft turrets set up on the rooftops. You can just fly around until you see the blue-ish white gunfire from them and then take them out. It’s easy enough to find three and killing them is even easier.
If They Came to Hear Me Beg
Gamerpoints: 25
Performed an Assassination against an Elite to survive a fall that would've been fatal.
Right at the beginning of Mission 10: The Pillar or Autumn, you will come to a ledge with an Elite and some grunts shuffling around down below. To get the achievement, you need to wait for the Elite to come closer to the ledge and then run and jump off using Sprint. Aim for the Elite’s head and be sure to turn off the sprint on the way down. If you don’t turn it off, the achievement won’t work. When you are right above the Elite, hit the right bumper and pull off the assassination.
I Need a Weapon
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 4th mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 4th mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
Into The Howling Dark
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 7th mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 7th mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
I See You Favor a .45
Gamerpoints: 10Killed 10 enemies in a Firefight or Campaign session with the M6G pistol.
Since you start the game with the pistol and it shows up only once in awhile afterwards, you may want to nab this achievement during the second mission when you first meet the Covenant. You can also grab it quite easily in firefight mode if that’s your thing. Like the DMR-you can also get this in Firefight by using the GRCHEEVOS gametype and equipping the NINJA load out.
Keep It Clean
Gamerpoints: 5Killed 7 Moa during the 2nd mission of the Campaign.
During this mission you will come across many Ostrich type birds that go running by. Gun them down when you see them. There will be two or three groups of them in case you missed some earlier on. Once 7 of the birds have been shot, collect your reward.
Knife to a Gunfight
Gamerpoints: 5As an Elite, killed 5 Spartan players in Matchmaking.
When playing Invasion mode, you will switch back and forth between the UNSC and Elites. When you are the Elites, you just need to kill 5 of those pesky Spartans to get this achievement.
Lemme Upgrade Ya
Gamerpoints: 10Advance any Commendation to its Silver state.
When you are on the Main Menu screen, go over to your tag and press A. Choose your Service Record and then choose commendations. Here you will see all the ones that you have earned. The commendations start at Iron and work their way up. You need to get one of them through Iron, then Bronze, then to Silver. Which one is easiest is obviously up to the individual and the Matchmaking and Firefight need to be done while online.
Lucky Me
Gamerpoints: 25Earned a Triple Kill while Jetpacking in Campaign, Firefight or Matchmaking.
One of the easiest places for this achievement is at the Rally Point Alpha on Exodus. When you grab the jetpack and hop across the platforms with the Bullfrogs, you will encounter a wave of grunts. Simply launch into the air and toss a grenade down on their heads. Keep in mind that you need to be airborne and need to have juice in the jetpack. Freefalling from a jetpack launch won’t nab you this. Since it is right at a load point, if you don’t get it at first, it’s easy to reload to get to. This can also be garnered quite easily through firefight mode using the GRCHEEVOS gametype. Use the same technique as you would during the campaign, but you’ll have more targets to explode.
Make it Drizzle
Gamerpoints: 10Purchased an item from the Armory.
This is one of the easiest achievements to get right off the bat. Enter the Armory from the menu and you will be able to purchase the UA on the Mark V [B] Helmet for 750 Credits. Once you confirm your purchase, it will give you your goods and 10 extra points.
Make it Rain
Gamerpoints: 10Purchase an item from the Armory that requires the rank of Lt. Colonel.
To reach Lt. Colonel, you need to garner yourself 450K credits. It can take while to get there, but eventually you’ll reach it. No short cuts for this one. Once you reach it, you will have met the requirement for certain items in the Armory. Purchase one of those items and the 10 points is yours.
One Down, 51 to Go

The weekly challenge will be listed under the daily challenges. While they will of course take longer to complete than the daily challenges, you do have an entire week to complete them.

Protocol Dictates Action
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 3rd mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 3rd mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
Score Attack
Gamerpoints: 10Score 15,000 points in Score Attack Firefight Matchmaking.
For this cheevo, you will need to rack up 15K points in 12 minutes. In the match making menu choose Score Attack and then you will be given a few options which includes Sniper Attack. If you are going at it yourself, choose Sniper Attack so that you have unlimited ammo. You can now pick up any weapon you want and have unlimited ammo. It’s pretty tough to do by your lonesome, so it is best to team up with 3 others to tackle. The points will come in slow at first, but once the stronger waves start coming in, the points will start to rack up.
Send me Out…With a Bang
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 10th mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 10th mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
Skunked!
Gamerpoints: 10Win a game of Invasion in the 1st phase.
In each game of Invasion there are attackers and defenders and there are three phases. For the achievement you need to stop the attacking team from taking over the capture point before time runs out. As soon as the game starts, head to the spot and find a cozy little spot to protect it from. Keep everyone from taking it and when the clock counts down, the achievement is yours.
Swap Meet
Gamerpoints: 10Traded weapons with an AI ally in Campaign.
When you are at the Oni: Sword Base, you will be accompanied by a load of generic UNSC soldiers. Simply walk up to one with a weapon in hand – provided that weapon has ammo in it – and hit X to swap your weapons and take 10 GP.
Tanks Beat Everything
Gamerpoints: 25Finished the 9th mission on Legendary with the Scorpion intact.
Once you start the 9th mission, you will need to clear out a few turrets and enemies and then hop in the tank. Thankfully you only need to get to the Sword Base gate with the tank intact. That doesn’t mean you need to kill everything with it. Once you reach the first area with the tank, you can clear it out and hop in the Revenant there. Use that to clear the next area and the next as well. Once the next couple of areas are clear, head back and grab the tank and mop any enemies that you may have missed. Just a heads up, you can also destroy the AA guns with the tank instead of running inside to destroy the core. Once you reach the Sword Base gate, the cheevo will pop.
That’s a Knife
Gamerpoints: 10Performed an Assassination on an enemy.
At the beginning of the 4th mission, Jun and yourself will be creeping along a ledge in the dark. Soon enough you will come to an Elite that is just hanging out. Perform the assassination as you are instructed and feel free to dance on his corpse in celebration of your newly acquired 10 points.
The Soldier We Needed You To Be
Gamerpoints: 25Completed the Campaign on Normal difficulty.
If you went the route of Heroic or Legendary difficulty, then you will have gotten this achievement already. If not, then playing through of the nancy difficulty- sorry, normal difficulty- will net you this.
The Start of Something
Gamerpoints: 15Reached the rank of Corporal in the UNSC.
The rank of Corporal is accomplished when you hit 10k credits. Since you start with 5K, it’s pretty easy to achieve after one play through of the single player campaign.
This is Not Your Grave
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 9th mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 9th mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
They’ve Always Been Faster
Gamerpoints: 25Cleared the 2nd mission without setting foot in a drivable vehicle.
After the second large wave of enemies, you will cross a stream and hop down a cliff. Just after the drop, there is a truck to the right side of the canyon. Ignore it, as well as the truck at the next base and hoof it through the rest of the mission. This part can be reached easily by loading Rally Point Alpha.
To War
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 5th mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 5th mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
Two Corpses One Grave
Gamerpoints: 25Killed 2 vehicles at once with the Target Locator during the 3rd mission.
During the Oni: Sword Base mission, you will come to the Target Locator and will then be face to face with two Wraiths. Try to get them together in one shot by making sure they are both within the red circle that appears on the ground. If you miss the two Wraiths, you can reload Rally Point Alpha or keep going where you will face a couple of Ghosts later on in the mission and try to get them together.
Wake up, Buttercup
Gamerpoints: 25
Destroyed the Corvette's engines & escort in under 3 minutes in the 6th mission on Heroic or harder.
During the space battle, after docking and getting loaded up, you will head back out to your Sabre and need to take out a Corvette. To get this Achievement, when the Corvette appears, head to the rear of it a good distance until you are told to take out the engines. Immediately head to the engines once they are highlighted and switch to missiles to take them out. You should be able to get all four in one pass. Once they are done, focus on the Banshees and the Seraphs. When the red arrows appear letting you know there are only a few left, narrow in on those.
We’re Just Getting Started
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 2nd mission on Normal or harder.
Once the introduction to the game is over, and you hop out of the falcon, you will be starting the second mission. There’s plenty of Achievements you can start racking up just on this mission alone. For this one achievement however, just reach the end of the mission.
What’s A Killing Spree?
Gamerpoints: 5Earned a Killing Spree in multiplayer Matchmaking.
In any multiplayer gametype, you will need to kill off 5 enemies without dying yourself. Easy enough, right? It’s certainly no airstrike but 5 GP is a good enough reward.
Yes, Sensei
Gamerpoints: 10Earned a First Strike Medal in a Matchmaking game.
Be the first player on either team to get a kill. Don’t rush out in a suicide run but don’t lollygag around the spawn point. Use a sniper rifle to cover long distance and go for the head.
You Flew Pretty Good
Gamerpoints: 10Completed the 6th mission on Normal or harder.
Simply complete the 6th mission on any difficulty higher than easy.
Your Heresy Will Stay Your Feet
Gamerpoints: 25
Killed the Elite Zealot before he escaped during the 5th mission.
Shortly after Rally Point Alpha starts, you will enter a mining facility and eventually come to a platform that looks over to another platform with a set of stairs that lead down to the ground. Before heading down the steps, look to the far side and the Zealot will be stalking around there. Use a Needler Rifle or DMR to take him out without getting close to him. If you do get close, he will keep running away from you and can eventually disappear all together robbing you of your achievement.
