How to unlock the Pitchin' a Tent achievement in Halo 4 - Definitive Guide

I have unlocked this achievement as of 20/08/2013.

I was in the 'Action Sack' playlist in the 'Rock 'n' Rail' gametype.
I walked into a corner and crouched for the full 60 seconds. I checked my clock at 8:01 and it popped just after it counted down to 6:57.

I did not shoot anyone or fire any rockets/ammunition. The achievement can be unlocked by effectively hiding in an area for a minute. I moved from the initial spawn, and found a place to hide. I unlocked this at the same time as my friend and he was standing. So it seems like you can be either standing or crouching and the achievement will unlock for you.

I stayed still and didn't move. I would suggest doing this on a playlist with easy places to hide. Big team battle modes can be good if you can hide in the base spawns.

I can confirm that you do not need the 'Bullseye' DLC to unlock this achievement.

Any downvotes please leave a comment and I'll adjust my solution.

It does seem to be slightly annoying to unlock sometimes. Some people seem to wait longer than the minute for it to pop, where others unlock it straight away. I think if it doesn't seem to pop after a set amount of time over a minute. Move to another location and then wait for the period again.

Got this achievement on a complete accident. I was playing Ricohet on Haven with a friend and left the controller. My character was in the team spawn the entire time and as soon as I returned it says achievement unlocked.

just leave your controller for a minute when the match first starts.
easiest to do this in a bit team battle or dominion or something large.

Got it by total accident

Just stay still for a full 60 seconds. At the beginning of a match, go somewhere safe like in your base. 40G well earned right?

Just to emphasize, you do have to move first before setting up camp. It didn't pop for me when I just stayed at my initial spawn.

Are you aloud to spin in circles as long as you don't take a step?

Also...DON'T CROUCH!! It will avoid much frustration for an easy achievement.

Is this shit glitchy or something? In a CTF game on Longbow, at the start of the match I went to the ice shelf and sat there for over 7 minutes, not moving at all and NOTHING.

You do not have to shoot anyone in order to acquire the achievement. I ran to a secluded area during a Slayer game-type, set my controller down and watched the in-game clock for one minute. I only tapped the Left Bumper to activate my Active Camo when the opposition came near in order to remain undetected.

@Ar4DOR
No, you can do it on any map you want, just go to a safe place on the map and just stay there for 60 seconds without moving. It should unlock, I even got it on an user-made map in matchmaking :)

The achievement requires that you 'effectively' camp. You must shoot an opponent in the same life before surviving. If you are boosting the achievement, have the player who is camping get shot once or twice, then have them kill someone before starting your clock. The achievement would not unlock by simply moving to a spot and sitting there for sixty seconds.

I can confirm that you don't have to shoot someone. Just move first and then camp.

I've tried this multiple times in Shotty on Pit but it doesn't work at all. I must have accumulated about 10 minutes in 3 games... I just want this so I can focus on actually enjoying Ricochet and the horrible remake of the Pit.

I got this achievement by using the mounted turret in Pitfall for 60 seconds. My friend did the same and it worked for him too.

Good suggestion! Not exactly the most subtle hiding spot, but it worked for me, as well.

I had some difficulty with this one, strangely enough. I don't want to cause panic by saying it's a glitchy achievement, but it is rather finicky. I tried crouching for 3+ minutes at a time in three matches, and it didn't pop. I had to stand at a far-off mounted turret with my Autosentry active for four minutes playing Big team Infinity Slayer on Vortex before I unlocked it.

Just keep trying, and most of all - be patient!

Edit: If you'd like to downvote this Solution, please leave a comment telling me what I should improve. Thanks!

This achievement is extremely glitchy. Some people have unlocked it by picking up a weapon and then camping that weapon spawn for more than sixty seconds, standing still as soon as the match starts, waiting in one location for 90+ seconds, crouching in a corner of the map for over three minutes, etc. You'll probably attempt this several times before the achievement will unlock. If you are not boosting this, it’s highly suggested to work on it in a Free-For-All or Objective match, since everyone will be focused on hectic combat or capturing the objective rather than searching for you.
