How did you..

[SGT Warchild]

Get the Reach achievement where you haft to survive a fall that could kill you by assassinating an Elite? I've done it before but it wasn't on my profile so I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for it.

On the campaign mission, The Package, at the start when you and Emile overlook a group of covenant, sprint off and assassinate the elite standing guard.

 

Hope this helps!

If you go by that method, it will take you a while since the elite moves around a lot. My suggestion to you if you go by what Kurt said is to make sure you save the clips of you dying. Some of the funniest stuff comes from just trying to do that one achievement

Very important!

 

If you still have Sprint on when you start the Assassination, you will not get the Achievement.

 

If your player touches the ground before the Assassination starts, you will not get the Achievement.

 

If you player touches the Elite before you Melee, you will not get the Achievement.

 

If the Assassination animation shows your player's boots touching the ground, you will not get the Achievement.

 

So as you can see, it's sometimes a matter of luck whether you get it or not. If you've done it previously and not gotten the Achievement, check if any of the above happened - if not, best way is the turn off Sprint half way down and Melee just before you get to the Elite: Melee calculates whether or not to do damage for about half a second (the length of the melee animation), so you have that much time in which to actually connect with the Elite. If you come from directly behind the Elite, this increases the chances of getting one of the correct Assassination animations.

 

Hope this helps!

I got it on my first try for my second account. And then it took me about an hour to get it on this account.

Too bad that people couldn't figure this out a year ago. I was one of the many who couldnt get it unless I spent several hours. Eventually, I did manage to get it.
