How to unlock the Running Riot achievement in Halo 5: Forge - Definitive Guide

Eric from Cali said:
The author doesn't give any sort of guidance, so here is how I just did it:
New map, delete everything. All spawns, everything.
Add one stronghold location and add one spawn in the stronghold location.
Create stronghold gametype with 1 round, 1 second to win. Turn off intro video.
Start the game and you immediately win.
I made a Map Variant and a Game Mode to help everyone grind this Achievement fast solo or with friends. You can add them on your Bookmarks & Likes here:

Map Variant:

Game Mode:


You can now start up the game and find them on your Bookmarks: Multiplayer > Custom Game > Map / Mode > My Bookmarks

You can get a win every 20-30 seconds so 117 Wins should not take too long using this and you can watch TV or something while you start a game every ~25 seconds.

You can also invite a friend on your Fireteam to get this:
Halo 5: Forge (Windows)Nice Work Dawg!The Nice Work Dawg! achievement in Halo 5: Forge (Windows) worth 139 pointsWin 25 Custom Games.

protip: Promote your friend as a Fireteam Leader and make him do all the work. laugh

I used your map solo. I set up game mode slayer, with 1 point to win, and +1point for a suicide. As soon as the map loads, you win. I would love to figure out how to make it auto restart, so that i could walk away. +1, and thanks for the map.

This worked fine yesterday, but now everytime I play one game it gets stuck when I try to start the second one, and then I have to restart the game to continue.

@ iPlatfoot Yes that glitch happens sometimes when you start your game too quickly after the last one ended. I suggest to wait a few seconds after each game.

Great solution, fantastic work on the map/gametype.

For anybody getting pissed off by server connection being cut off when the game loses focus: switch to windowed play. Game works so much more smoothly when windowed.

Yep, this works incredibly well, thanks!

I just played it in windowed mode and made it as small as possible and watched Youtube.

Still works like a charm.
I switched to windowed mode shortly after beginning and it was noticeably quicker.
Expect it to take about 1-2 hours. I found I was going too fast and stalling the game out - it wouldn't show the game variant in the lobby so I was often unsure if it loaded that part correctly or not (turns out that it does). I took a handful of short breaks and I was closer to the 2 hour mark. Unfortunately you can't track the progress anywhere so it's best to gauge it based off an approx. rate (I did roughly 2 games per min).
Thanks for the guide, Ex Slayer.

You CAN track this with the windows game bar and clicking on the achievement Widget. Sort by locked and progress and it will tell you how much percentage you have. It will update after returning to the lobby after a brief pause.

Both of the Halo Waypoint links are broken, and I do not see the Halo 5 fileshare on their site anymore. They may have been removed in the new Waypoint site update. I can confirm that if you had bookmarked them in the past they still show up in your bookmarks menu in-game though.

The bookmarks are broken. Is there a way to search up the maps?

"The Author doesn't give any sort of guidance", *proceeds to give f-all guidance*. Where are the stronghold locations? How do you set gametype?

Appreciate the tip but maybe leave the snark if your solution is still going to require people looking stuff up.

Just add the writer of this guide, then bookmark the map and game mode they published for this achievement. They both still work fine and I'm currently using them for the achievement.

To stem off what EX Slay3r has already said,

Do that, use that map and game type to queue up the game but for auto restarting and setting up something you can walk away from, read on.

I recommend using a program called Tiny Task v1.45. Its an easy to use key and mouse recording device. Record it while the game is open and it will auto add you to a new round. Here's how to do it.

1. Window Mode your game. Its easier to see what Tiny Task is doing and the game still going to function as it should. Before anything further MAKE SURE you keep Halo 5 Forge as the active window or else the macro will do nothing.

2. Set up the map and game type for the achievement EX Slay3r already mentioned. Invite a friend if you want, you can get the achievement while in a fireteam and help them too.

3. With Halo and the game load screen in view press C for the Carnage report (THIS IS IMPORTANT) and ill tell you why at the end.

4. Press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-R to start recording your macro.

5. Do this immediately. Press Esc, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Enter. Let the recorder continue until the round auto ends from the gametype.

6. End the recording by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Shift-R when it comes up to the carnage screen.

7. Press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-P and sit back and enjoy the show.

-Note: The carnage screen is important because its the next screen you need to press esc from before the start of a new round. It should all slide together so that it takes in all the basic commands to start a new round by mimicking inputs.

-Note 2: I notice this method works well but sometimes Halo messes up. With TinyTask dont do anything other than hit Ctrl-Alt-Shift-P again to stop the loop.

All in all it took me about 45 seconds per round. Thats with my wife's computer and mine loading the game and exiting the match. PC specs will change that. Message me if you have any questions before you downvote me please

Takes a while but I just saved a popular custom game variant, started it and ended game immediately. Did this 117 times and achievement popped no problem.

Specifically:

1. From main menu, go under Forge tab and go to most liked.
2. Find the beer pong custom game (one of the most popular results) and save a copy.
3. Start map in custom games, end it the second you can.
4. Repeat 117 times and the achievement is yours.

Hi all, I've created both a map and a game mode to unlock this achievement as fast as possible. Both creations are linked to my gamertag: LuciofreneticoX

Go to Multiplayer -> Custom Matches -> Search "Running Riot Achievement" map -> Search "Stronghold Instant Win" game mode -> Start.

Once you load up the game, you will get an instant win, and all you have to do is repeat it 116 more times. To erase the process, you can also set a macro that restarts the game for you. Happy hunting!

Sorry for the bad english.

Create a custom game on a map you have created, start the match, then end it immediately, then just repeat the process. You can be in the game by yourself and don't need anyone else in it.
