How to unlock the Special Delivery achievement in Halo 4 - Definitive Guide

Everyone is over complicating this.

Here is my method which is 100% guaranteed to work.

You can do this in matchmaking legit, or by boosting with extra controllers/with friends, just make sure you play on the map SHATTER.

Once the game starts, go to the areas of the map where there are "gravity lifts", they can be found close to the default spawning area. They can be found on the lower sections of the map and they shoot you straight up to the next level (kind of like an elevator).

All you need to do is get on the gravity lift and STAY hovering on it! While you are hovering on it, have a friend stand at the top level where you would normally exit the lift. Simply melee your friend 2 times, and BAM, achievement unlocked!

EDIT: SeraphimNeeded has pointed out that "If your friend is floating in the lift as well, you'll also get the other man cannon related achievements."

Use his idea for:

Halo 4ODSTThe ODST achievement in Halo 4 worth 46 pointsIn Crimson DLC matchmaking, kill a player while airborne from a Man Cannon.

Halo 4Clay PigeonThe Clay Pigeon achievement in Halo 4 worth 76 pointsIn Crimson DLC matchmaking, shoot an enemy who’s airborne from a Man Cannon.

But you'd have to have your friend on the other team, no?

Yeah sorry. I figured that would be implied, but yes, you need a friend or extra controller on the enemy team to do this. My friends and I each signed in a few extra controllers and we got everything done (including this) in 30 minutes or so.

Oh okay, I thought it was implied also. Just with how glitchy these achievements are, I wouldn't have been surprised if killing anyone would have unlocked this, friend or foe.

Ha! No kidding, one of my friends got it by killing someone randomly while jumping. But this method will work for sure. Good luck :)

Toki, when on the grav lift did your feet touch the ground when you went to melee him? You could also just try what SeraphimNeeded said by getting both guys in the grav lift.

If going for it alone I would recommend capture the flag. bob in the enemy lift with the flag most people will rush to the enemy carrier (Most will. Some will just throw grenades etc.). The flag melee is instant kill making it easier. This was driving me nuts but got it first time trying this.

I got this achievement by running into someone that stuck me. We both died and I got it. Neither of us were off the ground. WTF.

The achievement is a bit glitched at the moment, but for those who are looking for a definitive method, this will suffice. I'm glad to see you got it though!

Where do you go to boost this, is it in custom game?

@ AR4DOR, you'll need to boost this in matchmaking, custom games won't work unfortunately. If you have several friends with the DLC (especially ones with multiple controllers), it's not too difficult to fill up a lobby, or you could always find a session on TA :)

So the achievement says when LANDING from mancannon, This would imply that your feet are on the ground otherwise it would says BEFORE LANDING. I have done this achievement 4 or 5 times legit and no achievement pop. 343, it is safe to say that you guys suck at creating achievements and most of them are bugged because 343 has no programming skills of any kind, were they hired because they read coding for dummies?

Capture the flag is a pretty good playlist for these achievements

NOTE: Take this post with a grain of salt but if you're very very lucky, there's a small chance that during a game, ALL of the DLC achievements will unlock all at the same time. This happened to me and a party that I boosted with. Just get in a boosting party and go for this via boosting. I got this through a boosting (very difficult and horrible server connection issues) session and about a few minutes after I unlocked this, ALL remaining Crimson Map Pack DLC achievements all at once.

Like I said, I don't know if this is a 'blessed' glitch, a glitch that works in one's favor, but me and my teammates (and opponent players as well) suddenly got all DLC achievements all at once, sparing us tons of difficult work. This happened with all other DLC except for the Champions Title Update achievements.

Maybe give it a try. Though I recommend boosting but if you're very, very lucky (I say this with caution), you just might unlock ALL DLC achievements except the Champions Title Update achievements. Those will need TONS of boosting and a good sized team.

Down to get all the dlc achievements before servers shut down. I have 2 other controllers to help fill the lobby and will help others with their achievements too. Message me on Xbox so we can coordinate a time. GT: Nahzario

Just a helpful message. If your boosting from 360 make sure you check custom games to make sure the dlc levels are downloaded. We wasted 2 days cause we thought they were installed from the game details on 360. Download from in game marketplace or you wont get any of the maps you need when searching. Hope this helps. Can confirm all dlc cheevos pop when you play any map that's not champion or bullseye. Good luck!

There are a few ways to do this. Either take the easy way out and boost with 11 other friends. Or patiently wait on the grav lift and melee them. Here is a video I made that explains on how to get this achievement.

Achievement is glitched at the moment. You can unlock it by simply jumping from a raised point and kill an enemy with melee when landing, so no man cannon required at the moment

This easy achievement can be done on the map "Wreckage"

You earn this achievement by lifting off a man cannon, but before landing you jetpack slightly so you don't hit the ground and melee the person at the landing.

You need to make sure the enemy at the landing is one shot.

For this achievement the description is slightly misleading. This does not have to be done from a Man Cannon.(the map that is needed is Shattered)
You can get on the back of a enemy Mantis and just melee attack until the driver dies. I have it saved in my File Share as: "Alternate Special Delivery" for those that want to see how it is done.

If you decide this is not helpful then please say why.

This achievement has also been reported to be extremely buggy. Many have said that you can use Gravity Lifts on 'Harvest' and 'Shatter' in place of Man Cannons. to be safe, use either of the Man Cannons located on 'Wreckage' and hopefully an enemy will be on top of the hill where you are about to land. Shoot them a couple times to weaken their shields and right before you land, be sure to finish with a melee attack.
