How to unlock the This is my Rifle, This is my Gun achievement in Halo 4 - Definitive Guide

For those doing this on their solo Legendary play through:

- You can die
- You can use all the ammo in your UNSC weapon and keep it until the end with no ammo
-Just dont swap it for another weapon.

It is best to use the Lightrifle(I think that's what it's called?) - It's the gun the Promethean Knights use

This mission took me just over 2 hours, good luck.

It might be good to add this in but if you do accidentally drop your weapon and allow yourself to be killed pre checkpointing so you will re spawn with the UNSC weapon, you will still unlock this achievement.

I personally used up the pistol and after that, I switched it out for Forerunner and/or Covenant weaponry. I used the Lightrifle as you suggested, and improvised in certain spots when more firepower was necessary. The Needler came in handy very much in dealing with the Promethean Knights.

Also, usage of the Auto-Turret came in very handy.

Swiping a ghost once the Covenant got involved was handy, though when Banshees show up, it gets more difficult.

Oh, and there was no shame in running past the enemy when you're short on ammo.

Just for clarification, swapping your last unsc weapon for another weapon TEMPORARILY isn't going to disqualify you. I switched my rifle for a boltshot, while my other weapon had been a light rifle, and I hit a checkpoint, reading this solution made me think I had disqualified myself but I picked up my assault rifle, completed the map and got it. I think as long as you end the mission with a USCN weapon you'll get it, so the achievement description may be worded a bit deceptively, you don't need to carry it "all the way through".

I never changed out my guns, I got really ballsy when I get a checkpoint and see where I can push on without shooting. I punched the doglike thingies. At the first part where the dogs gave chase and last part getting to the comms, I ran past all of it, using my sentry as decoy or an assist for me to punch grunts and dogs. Other places I managed to run through as well, where you see covies and protheans fighting. I maybe killed 5 knights through it all. Of course died a handful of times. Used ghost against banshee cuz my flying is poo. I had 20 pistol shots and 16 assault rifle rounds left at the end of the mission. Serpentine!!

I have made a video strategy guide for this achievement, showcasing how the best way to pull this off if you're riding solo.

The video shows the whole mission, so it DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS. If you are struggling at any part of the mission then check out the video as ALL areas are covered. So long as you keep a UNSC weapon with you through the entire mission, the achievement is yours.

This achievement requires you to carry a UNSC weapon through the whole of mission 3 'Forerunner'.
If you die just revert to checkpoint and you will have your gun again.
The guns you start out with are the assault Rifle and the pistol.
This achievement is made easier if you're playing coop, one person can kill everything while the one getting the achievement hides.

SPOILERS

When you get to the end there will be a section, just like Halo 3's last mission, where you will have to use a ghost and boost all the way to the end without dying. If you die just revert to checkpoint and try again.
Make sure you have your UNSC weapon throughout the mission otherwise it wont unlock.

Hope this helps.

To confirm for people playing co-op you can die and re-pick up the weapon (in my case the magnum) and just keep it until the end make sure not to lose it though. Co-op is better as your friend can take most of the fire and keep you safe .

This is a fairly simple achievement. You start off with 2 UNSC weapons, the pistol and the assault rifle. There is no ammo for either of these guns throughout the entire mission. You have to rely on covenant and promethean weapons as your primary, and just keep one of the UNSC ones for backup. If you die, just make sure you have the UNSC weapon when you respawn.

This mission is fairly long, so it might take a while with one weapon. Patience is key.

I don't show the whole mission in the video, but instead cover the requirements of the video and some tips to get you through. Remember:

*You must be playing on Heroic difficulty.
*Don't die; you'll respawn with Forerunner weapons.
*If you do die, revert to last save.
*Ammo will be limited, so bring a co-op partner if you can to help distract the enemy fire.

The achievement pops as soon as you jump into the last portal, so if you don't get it then you may have to try again. Good luck, let me know if you have any additional questions.

This is fairly easy until the end of the level. Follow any of the guides above. If you are playing legendary during the last part of the level do the following:

Walking through the corridor you will find a cache of weapons and a ghost. Ride the ghost to the end of the tunnel. The doors to the outside wyill open. Immediately to your left an elite will spawn and try to make it to a banshee behind him. Kill him but DO NOT get in the banshee. Instead boost all the way to the cave to the right while killing as many grunts and elites as possible. Once you have cleared this area it's possible to shoot the shield orb through a window from the safety of the cave. A check point should pop once you destroy the orb. This part takes a while because you are using the ghost as a turret. Once all banshees are down continue to use the ghost to kill all of the other grunts, jackals and elites in the level. Once you do that use either the banshee at the beginning of the level or the one on top of the ridge all the way to the left of the stage to drop at the door without having to deal with the elites on the bridge.

Also, I died solo during the ghost scene. Still got the achievement, but you won't have to worry about respawning with enemy weapons.

This is my Rifle, This is my Gun - 20G (Original Achievement)

Difficulty: 5/10

This Achievement is best unlock while playing in Co-Op with friends that preferably already have it unlocked. I also suggest you put the Iron skull on, this way when one of you dies, you will immediately restart from the last checkpoint and no one will have to worry about losing their UNSC weapon. Just make sure you do NOT trade both the Assault Rifle and Magnum for different weapons. You can trade one but keep the other with you.

Note: If you were to be playing in Co-op without the Iron Skull on, you can pick up your UNSC weapon from your dead body and finish the level, it will still count. However if it were to fall off a cliff or you fell off a cliff in general, you will want to have the leader restart the last checkpoint before the next one is made.

If you chose to have friends help you, you can have your friends kill everything off for you all the way through the level until the part where you escape in the suped up Ghosts. From here have them leave the game and you complete this part alone. (Trust me having 4 people try the Ghost area with the Iron skull on is a HUGE mistake) Although while you are alone, you will want to revert to the last checkpoint immediately if you feel you didn't make a jump or enter a cave in time, as the Iron skull will force a single player to start the mission over upon death. Once you enter the portal the Achievement will unlock.

You can also do this solo if you like but it will take much longer.

You can just use everything in the unsc weapon,just leave some ammo in it.Then just use your second weapon.Try to find some UNSC ammo to the side.I personally just didn't touch that slot.DO this from the last rally point.If you have already done all the mission then you can.

Campaign Mission 3 'Forerunner' specific. Online not required. Must be obtained on Heroic+.
Use 'Mission Select' after initial Campaign playthrough if missed.

You start out with 2 UNSC weapons

  • Assault Rifle (glitchy)
  • Magnum Pistol (recommended)

The Magnum Pistol is the one to carry with you as your secondary weapon until the Mission ends. It is ok if you run out of Ammo - It is NOT ok if you drop it - 'Revert to last Save' if you accidentally swap/drop it.

Note: If playing on Heroic Cooperatively, you must NOT die. You will NOT respawn with a UNSC weapon.
Unless your buddy is willing to 'Revert to Last Save' every time one of you die, your best bet is to play this one Solo.
Play it Safe (hang back) if you must play it Co-op.

Note 2: You are allowed to use the vehicle at the end of the mission, it won't disable the achievement.
