How to unlock the That Won't Save You achievement in Halo 4 - Definitive Guide

I nearly got this achievement but somebody got a showstopper on me which is very annoying because not many people use the shield. I recommend using the support upgrade "stealth" which comes with the wetwork specialization. What this does is it speeds up all assassinations so there is less chance of somebody getting a showstopper on you.

I know this isn't much of a guide, but unless you're boosting you'll have to rely on luck and a few things like stealth to give you that slight advantage.

Thanks! Hopefully next time it won't happen because I'll pull off the assassination quicker laugh

Well there isn't much of a guide you can write for this achievement except boost for it which somebody already has.

As of 2/19/15, playing just one or two Castle maps will automatically pop all of the Castle DLC achievements.

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

The achievement description is about as obvious as it gets. You need to find someone who happens to be using the Hardlight Shield and assassinate them while they are using it. If going for this without boosting it will take some time since the hardlight doesn't seem to be all that common. So happy hunting.

If you do happen to be boosting, make sure at least someone on each team picks the hardlight shield in their loadouts. The more that have it the faster it will be. Once equipped this person will need to activate it. While still activated another (needing the achievement) will need to assassinate them.

Since this achievement requires so much luck, some nights I just pick the hardlight shield and give away free achievements. It might make some people who "earned" the achievement mad, but this achievement is just a very lame way for 343 to get people to use unpopular loadout options.

Unless you are boosting this achievement with a partner or second controller, it will prove to be quite frustrating as not many people on Multiplayer use the Hardlight Shield armor ability. If you do catch an enemy using the shield, try to jump over their head or flank them with your teammates in order to pull off an assassination while they are distracted. Make sure you hold the in order to assassinate them. Tapping the button will only beat them down.
