- Select first Mission - Osiris
- Normal difficulty
- Now activate the following skulls: Catch, Fog, Famine and Thunderstorm.
Those skulls will multiply your score without making the run hard or punishing.
I also used the Cowbell, Grunt birthday party and Iwhbyd skull but I doubt they add up to the multiplier bonus, if you have those I suggest you select them anyway since they can't hurt.
Beating the par time is easy especially because it's on normal difficulty, just make sure you kill all the enemies and try to get multi kills when possible to increase the score and you should get 500k comfortably.
Good luck.

I am adding a link below to show you how you can get the tank to the last warden fight where you would have to usually fight him on ground. Just stay back throughout the mission and take your time. If you die, restart checkpoint so you still have the tank. All credit for the glitch goes to Aeons of Blight
(Glitch still works I tried it this morning, it may take a few times, but it definitely works).

Also note; when you get to the first warden, you must exit the tank and walk across the bridge to trigger the warden. Then run back to the tank and have at it.
Nothing tricky about it.
But... You've made put the multiplier way to high: I ended up with over 5 million points(!)
So you could probably even dial it back to normal. But definitely you could loose a couple of the skulls - not that it really matters.

I went about getting head shots as often as I could with the pistol til it was out then switched to a BR and continued, for all the jackels & grunts, I generally had my team target elites to kill. I gave my team heavy weapons starting with shotguns then giving them Hydra's as we went along, (they are great with them, you want to try and keep them alive with the Hydras into the coolant area so they can destroy the banshees with them easily). At the med bay I had them target the Hunters from one side of the room and went to the door on the other side and shot them in the back til they died. I used a BR at that point, since the pistol had long since been tossed. When I was able I had both the DMR and BR equiped til the hanger where I switched to a Saw (right outside the room) & a Rail Gun (found right inside the room), I used the saw to kill anything I could and kept the Rail Gun for the Hunters.
I died a LOT, my time was 58.58, so it was well into the red, but my score was still 554,800.
Because of this I'd say just put the skulls on that you want in general, turn on score attack, and just play the entire campaign on legendary that way. You're bound to get 500K at some point even solo, without going to any extra trouble or making it more annoying by equipping extra skulls.

To start, head into the Campaign lobby with your co-op partner and switch on "Score Attack" in the Campaign setup options. Now change the rest of the settings to the following:
- Mission - Genesis
- Difficulty - Heroic (2x)
- Skulls - Catch (2x), Cowbell (1x), Famine (2x), Tilt (2x), Thunderstorm (1.5x)
Naturally, "Drop A Quarter" will be earned while working on this achievement, and "Up For A Challenge" is stacked here as well for having at least one of the 2x skull multipliers active.
When the mission begins, run down the side of the Guardian as you normally would, popping headshots on the Prometheans along the way. You will notice that each individual kill nets around 7k+ points right off the bat. Once you're on the ground and have access to vehicles, the mission itself not only becomes much easier, but earning an overall, combined score of 500k will not be issue at all. In fact, you will overshoot that score tremendously.
In order to unlock "Party Hearty" during this playthrough, both players must score at least 200k or higher. With the abundance of vehicular firepower at your disposal (Scorpion Tank, Ultra Ghosts, Wraiths, etc.), staying alive, earning multikills for big points, and storming through the mission quickly will be very easy. Through experience, the aforementioned setup should leave both players with a minimum of 1.5 million points each so long as they're are actively engaging the enemy.
In addition, you can unlock the "The Hare" during this playthrough for completing the mission under Par Time. Genesis' Par Time sits at 17 minutes, but with the vehicular transport and firepower provided throughout the mission, you should have no problem finishing in 11-12 minutes despite the difficulty level and amount of skulls active. There's no need to rush - the Par Time achievement will come naturally.
Once you have completed this mission in under 17 minutes, with a score of at least 500k where each player has obtained 200k separately, all five Score Attack achievements will unlock.
