How to unlock the Shoot from the Hip achievement in Halo 5: Guardians - Definitive Guide

Easiest way to do this is to use the new Xbox One feature for button mapping, and just completely disable the Left Trigger. It's hard to keep yourself from hitting a button you're so used to hitting so this will just make it all the easier.

Just put the difficulty on Easy and stroll through, don't get in a vehicle to also grab the other achievement on this level.

ya I am not seeing the option to disable zoom either. My last 4 options are Maintain Sprint, Auto Stabilize, Hold to Clamber, Vibration. Nothing about disabling zoom or the left Trigger.

I couldn`t find any feature to disable left trigger in Button mapping.The only thing that could be done with the triggers was switch them.

Sorry guys, it might be because I have the Elite controller.

I currently have a controller in pieces so I'll just not put the trigger back on and try it first! Lol

Reconfiguring the controls wasn't necessary for me. I just kept my finger off the L trigger and stuck to short range weapons that I wouldn't have scoped anyway. It's even easier if you aren't trying for Going the Distance.

Without any players? does that mean if your coop partner uses smart link you won't get the achievement?

^ You are required to do it on the 3rd mission, Glassed.

If you do not have an elite controller, simply change your IN GAME controller layout to a different style than you are used to. Then go into the Xbox Device Settings and alter the button mapping to force whichever button is your NEW smart link button, and swap it with the left or right d pad. Those don't get used often unless you change grenades.

To do this I changed my controller settings so that instead of zooming in with the cn_LT I would have to click down the right stick cn_RS. I'm glad I set it that way since unconsciously I ended up pressing cn_LT a couple times, which would have voided the achievement.

So, do not zoom in/iron sight for the whole mission and you should be good. I did it on Normal difficulty and also took advantage of this run to pull off this other achievement:

As mentioned in the solution for "Going the Distance", this requirement will be quite the burden since the landscapes you engage the enemy within are large and open outdoor areas. Thus, it will most likely be by reflex and/or habit that you use Smart-Link (Scopes) to kill enemies that are far away. You will need to be attentive that you do not scope in with any weapon during the entirety of the mission! If you're playing Co-Op, that goes for all the players!

Luckily, this achievement can be easily paired with "Going the Distance" for two reasons. The former is recommended to be done on a lower difficulty, thus enemies will be easier to kill with just about any weapon even when firing from the hip. Secondly, by skipping all of the unnecessary firefights throughout the mission, it reduces the forced nature of accidentally scoping in with a weapon to kill an enemy. The achievement will unlock at mission’s end provided you (or any players if playing Co-Op) did not scope in a single time with any weapons.
