How to unlock the A Fellow of Infinite Jest achievement in Halo Infinite - Definitive Guide

It appears all "in a matchmade game" achievements can be done in Bot Bootcamp. It can also be done in ranked.

This one is about as straight forward as it gets. Kill three enemies by using the oddball in one game, i.e. punch them with it until they die. What matters is that you get the final blow and you can do this across multiple rounds within the same match. I suggest doing this against bots as you should have a much easier time - you are very slow while carrying the Oddball and you need two melee hits unless you're ninjaing them.

Addition since this seems to be a bit unclear: Bot Bootcamp works for these achievements, however Custom Games and Training Mode do not.

So to be clear, you need to kill three enemies while holding the ball? Or kill three enemies that are holding the ball?

What Dan says is correct, and I updated the Solution to make it more clear.

You can throw a grenade an pick the skull up if the grenade kills an enemy it counts towards the achievement as long as your holding the skull

I just can't seem to find a single Oddball game when going to bot camp. I've done 11 matches and they've all been repeats of Slayer, Stronghold, and CTF.

Would be a lot easier if it was a 1 hit kill instead of 2 hits.

It's really dumb that it's not 1 hit kill anymore. It was always a 1 hit kill.

Would recommend camping in the tower-esque structure in Live Fire to get this done. The faster melee of the Oddball means that you’ll be able to kill them in a 1v1 unless if the enemy has an Overshield (and if you try to do this in Bot Bootcamp, they probably won’t).

There's nothing to be patched. It's fully intended to unlock these in Bot Cootcamp.

Either its patched, glitched or there is some trick to it because i just played 6 matches in bot bootcamp under different rule settings and its not unlocking at all

A lot of people are saying they're changing "rule settings" which makes me think they're trying it in custom games instead of marchmaking. It unlocked my first match in game.

Look it clearly works in both match made games and bootcamp but not custom so if people could stop spouting crap about it not working when it does that would be great

The description is pretty clear in what it means? How did you read it and think it meant kill the ball carrier?

By Kantarya on 10 Dec 2021 21:53
Easily Kantarya? It says "kill three people with the ball". People could easily mistake that for killing people that have the ball.

I didn't interpret it that way, but it's pretty easy to see how someone would 🤷🏿

Pretty easy legit since very few players objective. Just have to be good enough to constantly nab the ball and get kills.

Get in close if possible (around corners, halls doorways), that will usually result in a fist fight, and since you melee faster with the ball, you SHOULD win. Granted a 'nade might kill you after, but a kill is a kill.

@DoomScott - I did it two nights ago in Bot Bootcamp without issue. Hardest part was waiting for an Oddball match to show up, and then hoping I could grab the ball before one of my random teammates got it.

Double kills only appear to count as a single kill. Got 2 double kills holding the ball but count at end only shows shows 2 Kills As Carrier

I have gotten at least 3 kills as the ball carrier in bot bootcamp 5 times, and no achievment. Anyone got the same issue?

Sadly doesn't look like you can complete it in customs vs bots either. tried running a custom with a +200% to melee damage and no achievement

They have a mode called vampire ball in rumble pit. Makes it one hit kill and buffs you when you hold the ball.

I need help boosting with this achievements, please. 🥺🙏🏻 It's easier to do when a group backs you up then with randoms who get in your way or take the ball from you.

Yeah, hopefully soon. It's the only one I have left. Oddball is in Halo refuelled 3 at the moment. I got 2 Kills in one match but couldn't get another one. I really need help with this. It's easier in a team than with randoms who just get in the way.

Kill three enemies while holding the ball. So you're using melee with the skull in your hand

I can confirm that you can get this over multiple rounds of Oddball.

I played Bot Bootcamp and got two kills with the ball in Round 1 and another kill in Round 2 and still got the achievement.

THIS IS WHAT I DID: I just got 4 kills (carrier stopped) and end score card said 4 carrier kills, and it was in a RANKED multiplayer match against other human players and I DID NOT GET THE ACHIEVO (10 dec 2021).

BUT: i misinterpreted their achiveo description WHICH CAN BE INTERPRETED 2 DIFFERENT WAYS.

I thought the achievo description was "kill 3 players that are holding the ball" ...whereas here it seems to be "whilst YOU are holding the ball, punch kill 3 players".

Why why why, Delilah, must they write an achievo description with 2 meanings? FOOLS.

Not too tough because bots are as likely to attack other teammates as they are the ball carrier. I think I back smacked 2 if not all 3 with the skull while they were focused on other targets.

On the Live Fire map, the best place to hide is at the top of the tower. I spam hit the bots with the skull at the corner when they get to the top of the stairs and have killed 4+ of them that way over the course of two rounds.

There is no boosting this with 2 teams of 4, because you just don't get matched up together (MAYBE if you play really early in the morning you may have a chance). But even if you find each other you have to hope that you get the correct game mode.

HOWEVER, this achievement is actually pretty easy if you have a team with you that communicates. Set up a session for 4 people and just go for it. If your team sticks together and has the ball the enemies will have to come to you... and whack! That's when you git'em.

Best playlist by far atm is Elevation 24/7. You have a 25% chance of getting the Oddball mode. And the spawning location of the ball is pretty good for melee kills.

Getting into smaller close quarters areas can make it easier to get kills with the oddball. A good place to do this is the area near the balcony (the area near stronghold C in strongholds mode) on streets.

I did it in the ranked arena on the first try. Was easy to get, I have to say. So, I recommend do this achiev at this game mode.

Just kill 3 enemies while YOU carrying the skull (2 melee attacks are enough).

I finally got this achievement after finally getting into an Oddball game on the right map with the right players.

Also with a fair amount of begging to the enemy team in the first round via Xbox chat asking for help.

The map I got the achievement on is Solitude. It has the close quarters you need and ability to hide. As a bonus, it has an overshield that spawns.

Unfortunately, some players will be over zealous in wanting you dead. In my experience of the failed attempts prior to this, the enemy would just nade you or would back away if you charged towards them.

As the oddball is a 2 hit kill, you have to get very lucky with this.

you need to kill 3 opponents with a skull in ONE game, not necessarily in a row, you can die and lose the skull
