Why does everyone think that you have to drop a tank on somebody? You can use just about anything other than equipment and weapons, and all you need to do is swing it at them. There's no need to drop it from the top of the map like everyone says.

For anyone wondering why this doesn't work, make sure the second player is on a separate team.

Just stick a grenade on an enemy then switch immediately to monitor by pressing up on the D-Pad.

edit : sorry i forgot -> must be done in forge mode

A fun way of doing it is to get your teammate to stand in the crypt beneath the hole and you drop fusion coils down the hole while your teammate tries to dodge them.

This has to be by far the easiest way. I had trouble dropping a tank on my guest player but sticking a grenade worked perfect!

I accidentally discovered this for myself, and it seemed my friends didn't know that worked either as everyone I told asked if it really did work.

I have been meaning to put a guide here about this, but I forgot for several months and just know remembered when I saw the achievement.

It might be worth pointing out that this has to be in Forge mode.

Works in splitscreen. Just got it by firing a rocket launcher long distance at my guest and pressing up on the d pad as it flew.

Super easy achievement to get. Sign in a guest and with the main gamertag, drop the tank on the guest, then the achievement is yours.

All of the above methods will work, but also - ensure that you are NOT ON THE SAME TEAM as the player you kill. I used a guest with a second controller and killed it three times without unlocking the achievement, but as soon as I switched teams and did the stick-then-switch technique, I got it.

This can be easily boosted to get it out of the way as long as you have a second controller. Simply place your second player (or friend) in a nice open space, on somewhere like Sandbox for example, and simply go into monitor mode and drop a vehicle on the second players head. *Beep Boop* achievement unlocked. :)

I tried this method, went into a social match, had my guest on the opposite team and I couldn't go into monitor mode. Any suggestions?

Easy achievement... Obviously you can choose a heavier item head up to the skies and drop it down watching your guest smash due to tons falling down from great heights, or you can load up Sandbox and take of a pillar and whip your guest, it's pretty funny and somewhat gratifying when you succeed. : )

Invite a friend to a map where you can both be a Monitor: Then just both have a Plasma Grenade in hand. Stick your friend then push up on the D Pad. Let them rinse and repeat. It's that easy :)

It doesnt need to be a tank, just any object as long as you drop it on another player in Forge

This achievement is also the EASIEST achievement in Halo 3 by far. You just have to get into a Mythic map and be in FORGE nothing else. This can be done with a friend or with a second controller. Just be on different teams and the account that you want the achievement with should spawn a vehicle or a Killball and just kill the other player.
Ex. Main account(MA)
Guest Account(GA)

MA and GA go into Sandbox together to get this achievement. MA goes into forge mode and spawns a tank and tries to kill GA with the tank and splatters GA. Next thing you know MA is 25g richer.

Simply start forge, then chose a wide open map such as Sand Trap or Sand Box. now get another player, it can be a friend or a conected controler. now have the other player stand in the most open space. next get a tank and move up high. next get into position so that when you let it drop that it will land on the player, killing the other Player. you should then unlock the achievement.

Note: It can be any Vehicle you want, as i got it with a Worthog.

Ok so first you can get this achievement either from the mythic docs for halo 3 or using the multiplayer disc from halo 3 : odst. So load up a mythic map such as : assembly , longshore , citadel, sandbox. So load one up and you can either play with a friend or just plug in another control. Have the player or controller you want to get the achievement fly overhead the other player or controller and as the monitor create a scorpion or other heavy vehicle fly up high enough and drop the vehicle and presto achievement =D it may take a few times to get it right cause u may not kill the other guy . Good luck

Do as the name suggests, in forge mode select the map Sandbox. Spawn a scorpion and drop it on another player, Xbox live or co-op.

While in Forge, go into monitor mode and spawn any vehicle. Get another player to stand still (preferably) and swing the vehicle from side to side at his position until you splatter him/her (Mythic Map Pack).
