Information regarding the campaign achievements

1. Halo Infinite features 119 achievements total, 69 of which are obtainable in the singleplayer campaign. Unlocking all campaign achievements rewards you with total of 1000 Gamerscore.
2. All of the campaign achievements are obtainable by playing alone. Unfortunately you won't be able to obtain all of Halo Infinite's achievements by playing through the campaign, as 50 of them are tied to the separate multiplayer mode (and are worth 600 Gamerscore).
3. Obtaining all campaign achievements is difficult. This is mostly due to two achievements requiring you to play on the highest available difficulty, Legendary. They can be incredibly problematic, especially since one of them also forces you to use skulls (additional handicaps).
4. You'll almost certainly have to beat the campaign several times. This is not only due to difficulty levels but also missable achievements and a speedrun achievement (finishing the game in a specific amount of time).
5. Many of the achievements are obtained automatically by progressing with the plot. Others revolve around secrets - you'll have to find every single collectible in the game.
6. Achievements related to combat and gadget use are easy. They shouldn't pose you any trouble. The only difficult part is needing to perform specific actions many times to obtain an achievement.

Halo Infinite achievements don't unlock - why?

Unfortunately, Halo Infinite has problems with marking achievements as unlocked after fulfilling their requirements. You can have problems with unlocking, e.g. some story-related achievements (like the First Contact), but also those related to combat or collectibles.

Unfortunately, there is no proven solution for obtaining 100% of achievements without these problems. Just make sure that you have a permanent connection to the internet - this will increase the chances that the information about achievements will be stored correctly on the servers. Some achievements may be unlocked after a delay, e.g. starting the game the next day. Don't try to repeat the actions associated with them right away. Instead, wait a few days, and they may get unlocked.

Headmaster

How to unlock: Complete all main missions on Legendary with all Skulls active.

Gamerscore: 100 points

Comment: This is the most difficult campaign achievement of them all due to two reasons:

1. Legendary is the equivalent of Very Hard difficulty. It's very easy to die, and if you want to stay alive you must be at the top of your game, skillfully attacking the enemies and avoiding their attacks. Focus solely on the main missions, optional battles and other activities are too risky.
2. Skulls are additional modifiers which make the game even more difficult. You can't immediately start working for this achievement as you must first unlock all the skulls - they are found as secrets in the game world.

Outposts are heavily guarded by numerous enemies (enemy reinforcements can also appear mid-battle). To take them over you must perform several specific actions, for example open the fort gates or sabotage the fuel reserves.

Bunker Buster

Gamerscore: 10 points

Comment: The FOB bases are small outposts found in the game world you can start discovering and taking over after unlocking free travel around Zeta Halo during the Restoration main quest.

There are enemies in each FOB base and you must defeat them all. Only then can you interact with a terminal to take the base over.

Resurgency

How to unlock: Capture all available Forward Operating Bases.

Gamerscore: 20 points

Comment: This is a more difficult version of the achievement described above. You'll discover more and more bases on the Zeta Halo ring as you progress through the campaign. Taking them over shouldn't be too challenging.

Who is Max Valor?

How to unlock: Complete all Valor-awarding activities.

Gamerscore: 40 points

Comment: Valor serves as your reputation/heroism meter. We've described how it works in more detail on the Valor - how to obtain? page.

You earn most Valor for completing main missions but it's also awarded for engaging in optional activities on the Zeta Halo - taking over enemy outposts, helping UNSC Marines in need and destroying propaganda towers. You should earn this achievement while you're trying to fully complete the world map. You can mark new activities on your map by taking over FOB bases.

We're On Our Way

How to unlock: Answer a UNSC distress call.

When hunting for this achievement and other achievements related to collectibles you should pay attention to the information displayed on the tactical map in upper-left corner of the screen.

Reaching Out

1. We recommend playing on one of the lower difficulty levels to kill enemies quicker and die less often.
2. Come to the mission prepared, equipped with good weapons: you'll have to deal with some tough enemies, such as the Hunters.

Full walkthrough of the Pelican Down mission can be found in our walkthrough section.

Forza Veloce

How to unlock: Complete all 14 main missions in under eight hours.

Gamerscore: 40 points

Comment: This is a difficult achievement that forces you to speedrun. You should save it for your second playthrough. Play on the lowest difficulty, do only the main missions and ignore all optional activities. You shouldn't take too many risks however - each time you die, you'll have to waste more time on a mission (the timer keeps going even after your death).

Passing the Gas

How to unlock: Kill a Grunt that was thrown by a Brute.

Gamerscore: 10 points

Comment: Unfortunately, this achievement is a random one. However, you should encounter a situation like this one at least once.

Gamerscore: 10 points

Comment: Ghosts are small red vehicles the enemies drive sometimes. They can be encountered in enemy bases or when exploring the game world.

This achievement is very simple to get. Use cover and sprint towards a hostile vehicle without destroying it. Aim at it and press RB to activate the Grappleshot. Master Chief should automatically grapple towards the Ghost and throw out the driver (as shown on the picture above).

Wait, I Can Throw Those?

How to unlock: Throw 50 fusion coils.

Gamerscore: 10 points

Comment: As a reminder, the Ghost is a small red vehicle you can find out in the game world or hijack from an enemy with a grappleshot.

When exploring the game world behind the wheel of a Ghost, look around for weak enemies. Activate the boosters and drive into them with max speed. You'll get this achievement if they splatter into chunks on impact.

Wars with Friends

How to unlock: Bring some rescued UNSC Marines along for the ride into a main mission.

Gamerscore: 10 points

Comment: Getting this achievement is not too difficult. After unlocking a main quest taking place in a specific area (such as the Tower or the Excavation Site) don't rush it, that is, don't go there too quickly.

Take any large vehicle from an FOB base (such as the Warthog) and drive to an area where a UNSC squad needs help.

Defeat all enemies and save your allies. Return to the vehicle, wait for the newly acquired allies to jump aboard and drive to the main mission area with them.

Wanna Have a Catch?

How to unlock: Stick 50 enemies with grenades.

Gamerscore: 10 points

Comment: To get this achievement, you must use sticking grenades (example in the picture). Throw them at enemy groups to make it more likely they'll stick to someone. You can also run up to weak enemies to be able to aim accurately without fear that the main character will die.

A True Test of Legends

How to unlock: Complete all main campaign missions on Legendary difficulty.

Gamerscore: 30 points

Comment: Legendary is the equivalent of Very Hard difficulty. It's very easy to die, and if you want to stay alive you must be at the top of your game, skillfully attacking the enemies and avoiding their attacks. Focus solely on the main missions, optional battles and other activities are too risky.
