How to unlock the Control Freak achievement in Halo Infinite - Definitive Guide

Lets start off with some clarification. "Total Control" is the name of the game type which can only be played in Big Team Battle in which 3 areas/zones labeled A, B, and C spawns somewhere on the map and your team has to control all 3 zones to gain 1 point (for a total of 3 to win) and then they spawn again somewhere else. The "Total Control" game mode can be confused for "Strongholds" (Arena 4v4 game type) which your team has to control 2 of the 3 zones to start accumulating points for a total of 200 to win.

Zones A, B, and C start off neutral and your team has to capture all 3 areas to gain a point, and you must assist in capturing all 3 zones to gain this achievement. In by assisting you must be inside the zone and help capture and it does not matter how long or if you were inside when your team got the zone as long as you helped. If the enemy team takes back a point you may have to help take it back so it counts again. You don't need to do this in one life as when I was helping capture the last zone I died but my team got the capture and the score and I got the achievement afterward.

A tip I can give is to stick close to your team when they start pushing for the objectives so you can be there to assist in the capture of the point. You don’t want your team getting the zone when you didn’t help capture because remember you need to assist in capturing A, B, and C. It’s most likely that it will happen, but again it’s gonna be a back-and-forth game most of the time. The zones that you didn’t help get but the enemy got you can help get it back so you get the assist for that zone.

If you're lucky and have a good team you may be able to snowball the objectives via getting zones A to B to C or vice versa, and it will definitely help if some people stay and defend (not you though) the already captured zones just in case.

So apparently the achievement might be a bit buggy. You may be able to get it if you helped assist all zones at some point but it did not lead to a total control for the score.

Correct me if I got some things wrong, hope this helped or clarified things for you guys!

This seems at least a bit buggy. I got it without our team actually scoring a point. I helped capture A and B. Then the enemy team took A back while I helped to capture C. I then just ran around capturing points a bunch and got the achievement at some point without our team actually scoring a point.

Dumb as fuck achievement. Almost impossible in big team battles to be in 3 places at once.

@Thepaynexkiller, I have played a few games and it would never happen that 3 places would be captured at the same time. Maybe two, but only at the beginning or when a team really pushes through. Can be a tough achievement to get.

This was bugged for me. It just popped randomly while I was killing a couple people in the middle of the map. I hadn't gone near A or C at the time.

I'm guessing the achievement description is wrong? As the description doesn't include matchmaking in the description.

Also got this unexpectedly. I had captured A which we lost to the enemy but towards the end of the match I helped capture B and C and got the achievement with about 15-20 seconds of the match left. We had already scored by capturing a set of 3 zones earlier in the match so I dunno if it figured we were gonna win since the enemy weren't gonna be able to pull it back and therefore only counted my assists for the 2 zones we had. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I did this one by capturing all 3 zones in the same round but we didn't even scored the point... I captured B and the rest of the team captured A, then we lost B, I captured C, then we lost A, I captured A and the achievement poped up and we only had A at the time.

I'm fact we lost the game 3-0 lol so it is bugged, you just need to capture the 3 different zones in the same round, you don't need to secure the point.

I got this by getting A, then B, and as i capped C they took A. We didn’t get a point, but I guess they happened simultaneously enough to count.

I've got close to 50 hours in Infinite's multi-player so far and about a third of that in Big Team Battle. I have not had a single match of Total Control. Not one.

I've never seen Total Control once, but so far that's because Big Team Battle is totally broken. I've not been able to join a server for that in a over a week now. Just get error message and error message.

You have to capture (or capture assist) every zone once before the match ends. You also don't have to win the game. If you capture a zone, but lose it to the enemy team it's fine, as long as you capture (or assist) the remaining ones.

Glitched for me too
Edit. Unlocked my 3rd time doing it. When it unlocked, I captured all 3 in 1 life, and the last one scored a point.

@trevzuk0 - Don't know if you missed it, but that's what I've stated in the solution. Also, that's the exact example I used to confirm that you didn't need to actually capture all the zones yourself nor have to do it in one life to get the achievement.

So if I assist in two of the zones, then we lose one, do I need to go back and touch that one again? How long do I need to be in the zone?

I can confirm only need ASSIST in capturing the last of the 3 zones to score

I can also confirm that this is a bit buggy in a beneficial way.

I helped capture A, then B, but we lost A. I still went on to capture C and got the achievement despite my team not necessarily earning the point since A was taken.

So I think it's either bugged in a good way, or the description is being misunderstood and all that's require if for you to help capture all three zones in a single cycle of them being active.

This achievement is stupid. I just played a game where I helped assist every zone multiple times leading to captures and total control to gain a point. Nothing. No achievement.

As the achievement description mentions, you only need to ASSIST in capturing all 3 zones when your team scores. I thought that I needed to get the notification (zone captured text) to get it to count, but I died while capturing the final zone. I still got the achievement, having fully captured the first 2 zones.

To get this Achievement you must help capture all the zones on the map to score in a Matchmade Total Control game.

This game mode is only available in Big Team Battle “BTB” & has similar rules to the Strongholds game mode.

To score you must help capture all zones on the map & once all are owned a score will be earned.

in the search for a battle of large teams, a mode with the capture of points comes across, groups of points of three appear in order, after capturing all three points by one team, the group of points disappears and a new group of points appears with a new location.

you need to capture one group of points entirely; if you capture a couple of points from one group, and then one point from another group, it will not count

I had it like this:
I stood at the first point, captured it, and received the “Capture Point” badge.
I stood at the second point, captured it, and received a badge. At this time, the 1st point was recaptured.
I returned to the first one, stood, grabbed it, and got a badge.
I went to the third one. I began to take over, and they killed me during the takeover. The corpse lay inside the point. The Allies recaptured. They didn't give me a badge. The achievement was received.

It turns out that it is important not to capture, but to become a participant in the scale set when the point is captured.
