How to unlock the We’re in for some Chop achievement in Halo 3 - Definitive Guide

On the level Tsavo Highway, after the Rally Point Alpha checkpoint, there will be a battle involving two waves of brutes and then a wraith. In the buildings in the back of the encounter area, there are 3 trip mines. Your best bet is to grab either a brute shot or fuel rod cannon off the bodies of the brutes and shoot one of the choppers in the next area until it is almost dead. Then, lure it towards you and at the last second, throw down the trip mine. This will kill the chopper and earn you the achievement. Make sure you play on easy, for obvious reasons.

Something like this:

I don't think so. You actually have to destroy the vehicle, not just kill the brute. If you can't get it in campaign, I would recommend playing Squad Battle for the cheevo.

Good call Globalizer; 2 fuel rod shots and the trip-mine did the trick :)

Took me awhile but when you go to the chopperes, drop the warthog off and walk back up to the cave you should have a guy driving at you, I chucked a frag at him which damaged the chopper and didnt kill the brute, as soon as he got back onto it (the chopper was practically dead) I just threw the land mine in front and bam achievement popped as soon as he ran it over.

You should define what "almost dead" means. I ended up shooting the chopper twice with the fuel rod cannon and then laid down the trip mine. That seemed to get it to work. Someone else should confirm this then add it to the guide.

I would highly recomend that you kill the bots before they end up destroying the chopper them selves

Late to the party, but I have this achievement for the CRAB event. Was super easy. Right after beating the wraith, snag a fuel rod cannon and your mine. Walk to the right and there will be several choppers. You can line then up between the two rocks pretty easy. Hit them with the fuel rod and drop your mine. Took me a whole 5 mins from rally point alpha

Best place to get this on the mission Tsavo Highway is the first roadblock where there is a tunnel with an energy shield. There are trip mines in the buildings there und two choppers. I weakened the choppers with a fuel rod cannon I picked up earlier and then dropped some mines on the ground and lured them to me until they exploded! You can also get the "Headshot Honcho" achievement here by picking up beam rifles on your way and headshotting brutes and jackals. I think this is also before the Rally Point Alpha checkpoint.

Yeah, the brute chopper required two shots with the fuel rod cannon and then the trip mine will destroy the vehicle. Anything less will not unlock the achievement even if the driver died as the vehicle will still be drivable.

I got it with the first choppers on Tsavo Highway, after the Rally Point Alpha checkpoint. I killed wraith, took the mine, then I waited for the soldiers to weaken the chopper, I threw the mine, the chopper drove on the mine and it exploded. It may be pure luck.

This is a very easy achievement. The way i did it was as follows.
Load up Tasavo Highway at rally check point on easy and kill everything till the wraith comes. Pick up a fuel rod cannon and shoot it 4 times. Now charge at the wraith then throw your mine down next to it and BANG!!! Shortly followed by POP 5GS
Hope this help's.

Could people please tell me why im getting so much negative feedback on this so i can alter anything needed please..

I would just like to add that it should be EXACTLY 4. I thought I had it with 3 and the trip mine, but it didn't entirely destroy the wraith. Otherwise works like a charm :)

Didn't work for me. The Wraith is finicky and doesn't charge you. It kind of hangs back. Then even if you get it to hit the mine it oftentimes does that on the corner of the vehicle which destroys it but for some reason the chievo doesn't pop. I destroyed it three times without the achievement before I gave up and hit the chopper twice with the fuel rod cannon then laid down the mine there. The choppers like to charge you thus making it easier.

Could not get it to work on Easy. 4 shots + mine only killed the driver and disabled the wraith (played on towards the chopper section and some allies appeared in the wraith, so it wasn't destroyed ;). 5 shots kill at least the driver, so the wraith doesn't move anymore and therefore can't trip your mine...

Maybe it works on normal+?

I think you are getting downvoted because you are not explaining where to get the fuel rod and trip mine

Level :- Tasavo Highway

I did this on the part just after the area with the 2 snipers on top of the dam. When you get past them there is a save point and a few buildings. The point of this part is to take out the 1st generator to remove the blue shield.

There are two 'choppers' racing up and down the road in front of you. If you look in the buildings you'll find a mine (it looks like a cog when you pick it up - top left of your screen). Go on to the road and chuck it down and wait for one of the choppers to hit it.

In the campaign on Tsavo Highway, shortly after the second chapter begins, there is a long building to the left that has Trip Mines in it. Grab one of these and proceed to the next area. Here there are Brute Choppers trying to kill you. You will need to attack the front end of the vehicle for a bit until about two small pieces fly off. Once this happens, it should be weak enough to kill with the mine, so place it down and step behind it, waiting for the guy to try and splatter you. It may take a few tries, but just reload the last checkpoint if you fail.
