This achievement is not that hard to do, you just have to do all 14 missions in under 8 hours. This achievement is very easy solo. It will be easier IF343 adds co-op.

How I did it:
1: Start a new game on easy ( you can use skulls)
2: run through all the missions as fast as your can. Press

and

to skip cutscenes.
3: Ignore ALL side quests. You can capture FOBs to use as fast travel points but not required.
4: Upgrade the grapple shot to its 3rd upgrade, quickshot (requires 3 spartan cores total) for 40% faster cooldowns.
Note: I did not upgrade anything else as I didn`t think it was necessary. If you want to I would recommend putting any you find into shield upgrades.
5: I didn`t switch off grapple shot because with quickshot the cooldown is very short.

2 tips with the grapple shot: When you grapple onto something quickly pan your camera away from the object to swing yourself further and faster.

And when you are sprinting and using grapple shot, hold

on default mappings to slide and gain a lot of speed.

Edit: as per some comments. The save file timer is broken. Like other bugs, this may take a while to be fixed

Try to beat my time of 3 hours, 1 minute and 57 seconds

I finished in 3 hrs 26 mins, on EASY, with the BANDANA skull activated. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

I wasted about 30 minutes, too, because I purposely restarted the Spire mission when I was grappling too fast and accidentally picked up a weapon causing the loss of the PORTABLE HANDHELD SCORPION TURRET. So fun!

I rarely had my feet on the ground as I was grappling all the time, even on level ground.

I did take a little time to grab a few Spartan Cores to upgrade my SHIELD CORE, and then the THREAT SENSOR.

Thumbs 👍 up +1.

I'm just an average player, so it took me and one random player from TrueAchievements (we did not talk anything during the session, maybe the player was unable to speak to the microphone at that time or there was a problem with the microphone, I didn't ask) to complete this achievement in about 5 h 30 min in one session on Easy difficulty using the Bandana Skull. We did some additional stuff, such as some of the Banished outposts, Banished VIPs and some of the Spartan Cores to upgrade Shield and Grappleshot a bit. For people with more busy schedules I advise to create for example 2 hour sessions to get this done.

By Max Limitz on 12 Dec 2023 16:34

Can I do this with skulls on?

By PH1 HUNG on 10 Dec 2021 20:10

@PH1 HUNG I believe you can. I didn`t run with any on

By duncanwarrior99 on 10 Dec 2021 21:27

You can do it with the bandana skull to spam the grapple shot. You will move litteraly like spiderman

By KRMA Le H on 11 Dec 2021 00:50

I assume I must do this in a single 8-hour period, or could this work over the course of days containing bits of speed run playtime?

By xxxSlayerxxxxx on 11 Dec 2021 03:14

@xxxSlayerxxxxx I did this over 2 days

By duncanwarrior99 on 11 Dec 2021 03:33

Barely beat your time at 2:57:03. Thanks for the challenge, it pushed me to get this done faster lol.

By PH1 HUNG on 11 Dec 2021 04:28

2:49:51 without the bandana skull, probably would've been 2:30 at less had i had that skull on

By iTz Johnny Gat on 11 Dec 2021 12:32

2:18 with Bandana, lost about 20-30mins to the mission with the 4 buildings as "enemies were still in the area". Really looking forward to speed runs of this, going to be mental.

By McDan1el on 11 Dec 2021 14:19

I haven't started this achievement yet.. is there a way of tracking how much time you've spent playing the missions? Or do you have to track it yourself?

By Jomen on 11 Dec 2021 16:34

@Jomen if you make a new save you can see the playtime on that save. You also could track it your self

By duncanwarrior99 on 11 Dec 2021 17:12

2 hours 31 minutes. I found out if you are running, grapple and slide right before your grapple ends you'll speed slide.

By Jae Rubiks on 11 Dec 2021 19:33

Open world time doesn't count towards this does it? Is it by the time on the save file?

By TechTheory on 11 Dec 2021 21:16

I am wondering that too if it tracks time on main missions only or just screws you over in total play time (trying to get all collectibles first before going for this one).

By TG Airborne 88 on 11 Dec 2021 22:09

How do you skip cutscenes on pc

Just flew through this, 2 hours 33, Easy difficulty no skulls. Died a fair few times too!

2:18.00 while getting the skulls for missions

By MKDeed on 12 Dec 2021 16:04

I'm sure the map counts against you, but does pause?

By Fuzzmeister J on 12 Dec 2021 19:41

Buddy and I played the campaign with our monitors set up next to each other. We started at midnight, left and grabbed food, grabbed the skulls from the campaign, and finished around 6 am. It said we played the campaign for 4 hours and 15 minutes when we finished. I think pausing might pause the timer.

By Anxious Guy on 12 Dec 2021 22:20

Would having Skulls on void this?

Edit: Skulls do not void this.

By ChknFingrs on 12 Dec 2021 22:37

A lot of people have done with this the LASO run.

By Fuzzmeister J on 13 Dec 2021 01:41

Went through casually getting collectibles, FOBs, skulls etc.

Final time was 3:21:24 - 33% completion.

This achievement is very easy, dont let it scare you

By TheSierra11705 on 13 Dec 2021 02:11

Yeah I did mine on easy because I just assumed my LASO run would take too long, but even that run got finished in 5 hours so this achievement is very easy to get

By Soundgoodizer on 13 Dec 2021 20:08

This is basically a participation achievement, easiest speedrun achievement I’ve earned by a billion miles with (almost) exactly 5 hours left by the end of it (3:00:17).

By ChiflaGoodluck on 14 Dec 2021 04:55

You can get this on LASO if you use the scorpion gun. takes about 5 hours to do the campaign that way.

By count023 on 14 Dec 2021 14:08

Do deaths affect your time? So if you're doing this on LASO, you die and accidentally haven't triggered a checkpoint for 40 minutes does it count that time against you?

By ICE Faux Pirate on 14 Dec 2021 17:10

Yes it would @ICE Faux Pirate

By duncanwarrior99 on 14 Dec 2021 17:30

Yes, they do. BUT at the same time, with LASO including deaths, i finished and got the achievement at 4 hours 22 minutes completion time.

Immediately rushed to upgrade the grapple shot so I could move as efficiently as possible. Incredibly easy achievement if you just ignore everything optional! A few spartan cores to upgrade the threat sensor didn't hurt, just grabbed a few near main objectives like the AA guns.

By PhartedPants on 15 Dec 2021 08:26

What if you pause the game? Does that effect the time too?

By Cloaked Onyx on 15 Dec 2021 19:31

I got it done in 2 hours 45 minutes and 56 seconds with just the bandana skull and without the scorpion gun on easy

By Boozalinii on 15 Dec 2021 22:24

No if you pause it and can’t complete it all in 1 day then your fine it will still give you the achievement

By Boozalinii on 15 Dec 2021 22:26

Quelle sont les missions ( les 14), car je les ai toute faite mais pas de succès

By tHe VeKrOm on 15 Dec 2021 22:53

It's very easy using the Scorpion Gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssifKZ7O5q8

I did it in 2:14:25 on Easy with Bandana Skull for unlimited grapple hooks to go even faster.

Probably would’ve knocked some time off if I didn’t grab 3 skulls and some audio logs. No idea what the portable scorpion gun is but I can only assume it helps a lot

By TheColebert on 16 Dec 2021 04:34

2:29:28 with bandana, iwhbyd and grunt bday. I used the scorpion tank gun too for the boss fights. So much fun

By Odog1234 on 16 Dec 2021 20:30

They honestly made this time limit too lenient. I casually played through the game on normal and unlocked it without really trying. Might have been different had there been any actual overworld activities to do…

By The S bot 9000 on 17 Dec 2021 03:24

EASY
IWHBYD
Really just took my time. Used the Scorpion gun for the first bit cause it was just fun to use. Than took some time to get all the skulls so I could complete a LASO run. Had to restart a few for skulls but besides that this achievement is super easy.

By dottedwolf on 17 Dec 2021 04:21

1:56:29 on easy

Boom, IWHBYD, Grunt birthday, and bandana

Probably could've shaved another ten or so off throughout.

7:24:26 on LASO

By A Rob94 on 17 Dec 2021 21:42

Side quest count in 8 hours ?

By BLACKLICAN on 18 Dec 2021 06:29

Got it in just over 2 hours with the bandana skull and scorpion tank gun on easy difficulty. Had to kill myself a few times because I accidentally replaced the tank gun with a new weapon.

By Reaper R66 on 18 Dec 2021 09:59

Just completed this in 2 hours 35 minutes and it did not pop. I had no skulls active and I also used the scorpion tank gun.

Edit: I restarted my Xbox and loaded the game back up. It looks to have stealth unlocked as I didn’t receive any notification.

By Hochberg on 19 Dec 2021 06:05

The 8 hour time frame is way too generous if that's all you're going for. I mean I just sped through LASO and did it in just over 6 hours. All I did aside from making sure to grab the scorpion gun and the main missions was make sure to grab a few extra spartan cores.

By Dragonborn Gear on 19 Dec 2021 22:38

Completed on Easy with IWHBYD, Grunt Birthday Party, and Bandanna skulls. Used tank cannon throughout and the only detour I took was to get the Arcane Sentinel Beam to use when the tank cannon was on cooldown. Completed in 2h 01m and only upgraded shields (to max).

By energyfields on 20 Dec 2021 13:03

I've not tested this myself but i'm posting this as if it works it will reduce the time required by a huge amount. There's a skip to take you from the campaign level Excavation to the House of Reckoning, credit to Mint Blitz and his youtube video...

By J4me5 R0ck5 on 22 Dec 2021 10:50

Will we be able to get this one when mission select comes out? Or do I need to start a new game? I collected everything in the campaign.

By ATR0X on 22 Dec 2021 12:26

Thanks.
This is really easy with the tank canon; I managed to get it on my legendary run and believe me, if I can do it, then anyone can.

By Tarot B on 26 Dec 2021 10:43

I mean I had a bunch of skulls on on easy and did 3 hours 14 minutes and 57 seconds. By far the fastest I've ever beaten a halo (it was my third playthrough of infinite).

I didn't even know about the tank canon. Oops!

By DevouringLukeG on 27 Dec 2021 23:04

this is actually an easy completion as how it counts the play time is very forgiving as i don't think it counts the times you die and respawn only between checkpoints so if you play for an hour from your last save die and respawn that hour isn't counted as this happened often due to saves not working with out full shield for me on my laso run.

By COOM3R on 30 Dec 2021 22:41

Took me 3 hours 8 minutes and 55 seconds, and that was only because my game glitched on the Beacons and I had to restart the mission. Tank gin and grab hammer are the best combo

By VargarViking on 03 Jan 2022 04:04

2hrs 43 mins was so bloody fast on easy

By paddycfc22 on 03 Jan 2022 12:19

Did mine in just 3 hours and 47 minutes and got no achievement.

By xenomorphs on 05 Jan 2022 11:28

Possible to get collectibles, watch cutscenes and do speedrun? Or do I have to cut out either cutscenes or collectibles to make it under 8 hours?

By JSP The Great 1 on 05 Jan 2022 20:32

3 hours 39 mins baby!

By sliyk on 07 Jan 2022 03:19

@JSP you can probably watch cutscenes and easily still do it in time if you just do Main missions. Definitely not collectibles tho besides the missable mission specific collectibles.
But you can do all the side stuff and other collectibles afterwards anyway.

But if you plan to get all achievements you basically have to do 2 playthroughs anyway. And you can get <8hrs with the LASO achievement pretty easily currently.

By J2B9 on 07 Jan 2022 05:44

For anyone who is familiar with the Excavation>The Road skip, I can confirm it works, completing the campaign with Tank Gun/Sentinel Beam and Bandana Skull in about an hour and 30 min.

By APEX N3RD on 09 Jan 2022 02:51

Went for this during my LASO play through and finished the campaign under 5 hours 30 minutes. Super easy. I did manage to skip "The Road" mission (after trying over dozen times). Good luck!

By AWC GOTTI on 12 Jan 2022 03:20

Laso 5 hours 30 min with no skipping. No need to rush

By TommyTusj on 29 Jan 2022 18:53

On Easy with Bandana, the rocket launcher and battle rifle were the perfect combo for me until the Harbinger when I switched the rifle for a sword to take her down faster.

By Gilbert Prime on 29 Jan 2022 21:17

If you played the Halo series before you should not have any problems to do it on your first run. I got this achievement on Normal without really try harding, I was exploring, doing side quests and still got the achievement after final fight :)

By BajerKR on 10 Feb 2022 21:00

Just an FYI: time definitely doesn't accumulate while the game is paused/suspended.

I forgot how this game never really closes before I went to sleep last night. Like 10 hours ago. I was on the second to last boss and needed the SA skull, so I finished, getting both the skull and achievement.

By VinnyML on 05 Mar 2022 19:59

Managed it in 2hrs 50min on Easy using the scorpion gun and a BR (which I swapped for the blood sword in the 'House'). Also used Bandana skull for infinite ammo and equipment. Only picked up cores that were in missions and on the route between them. Fully upgraded shields and the first/second grappling hook upgrade (voltaic). Put some into threat sensor to increase its range but didn't really need it. Probably could have been quicker too as I made a few mistakes along the way.

By Stevo6483 on 08 Mar 2022 00:28

Does anyone know if this is still obtainable using the excavation site skip? I've done a 100% completion run but didn't get the bandana skull! FML

By DerbyForget on 21 Apr 2022 08:36

Does anyone know if this is still obtainable using the excavation site skip? I've done a 100% completion run but didn't get the bandana skull! FML

You can probably only use it to skip the meat of the mission. Game’s pretty short anyway if you’re rushing.

By ChiflaGoodluck on 21 Apr 2022 09:45

Super irritating. This glitched for me. I loaded up my legendary run which had 23 hours on it to do the achievement for killing a grunt that was thrown at you. When I exited the legendary run and loaded up the speedrun, my time went from 1 hr to 23 hrs. It showed exactly what my time was for the legendary run. I thought maybe it was just a visual error but I just finished and didn’t get this achievement. Hopefully I can get it done in my laso run but holy hell I do not want to run though it again.

By AceBlueJuice on 07 May 2022 05:18

Just a heads up for anyone trying this… The game currently seems to track save slot play time together. I had a save 1 with 18 hours and now my save 2 has 22 hours after trying to get this achievement which I only spent 4 hours on.

You have to delete all your saves to make it track correctly.

By Stogiermink on 10 May 2022 17:23

@Stogiemink
huh, I get a different problem in the same vein. If I delete a save with 22 hours in, then start a new game in the same slot and play for an hour, that new save will say 23 hours instead of just 1. From my experience, different slots don't interfere with each other, but deleting a save doesn't reset that slot's timer.

By ZeeeOnE on 14 May 2022 22:35

I'm getting the same bug as Stogiermink after running through the game twice on easy in around 3hrs each. I thought the first time didn't register because I was offline so I did the full thing again. Now it's saying that that my main playthrough took 14 hours, one speedrun took 17 and the second took 20 hours. Hopefully it gets patched soon.

By Not The Selkie on 20 May 2022 21:35

Another bugged achievement... courtesy of season 2????

By The New Wober on 21 May 2022 05:07

I have the same issue started a new game and took about 3 hours or so and my total time was carried over from my original save

By Im Forever Dope on 23 May 2022 13:04

Mine glitched as well. Finished my first playthrough on Heroic at 30 hours. Started a new game and cleared the story in 5 hours. Save showed 35 hours

By on 29 May 2022 23:38

Started a new save slot yesterday and played like half. Loaded it up today from load game and done 2 missions, quit out and did the final 3 just now and it popped. 2h 43min but unlike headhunter this seem to work again.

By ROBBERT DHT on 30 May 2022 20:02

I played 2 missions on a new playthrough and the playtime is showing 22 hours. This is glitched :/

By YaIrishMick96 on 19 Jun 2022 12:36

Anyone that has it bugged, go into "load game" and make a new one from there. Got it to work, 2hrs 36mins today. Had a damn banshee blow up on me after the fourth beacon, grappled over the mountain back to the Nexus.

By Crowdoctr on 20 Jun 2022 01:36

Do i need to delete my old LEGENDARY file? because every time i start a new one it keeps the 20 hours old time from my legendary one

I quit out and turned my Xbox off after mission 2. Loaded it back up and acquired the Scorpion Gun on Mission 3 and it unlocked.

Completed in 2 hours, 49 minutes & 53 seconds skipping all cut scenes and dying twice thanks to Barrels and falling off the edge of the map.

By B4RN4RD5K1 on 29 Jun 2022 02:58

I had a similar issue with play time stacking atop of old saves and not unlocking the achievement. My solution was to beat it in one sitting without stopping and it unlocked. Easily done in three hours.

By Knightmare OO7 on 12 Jul 2022 02:02

Don't know why. Did a new game.
Single sitting.
Still stacked my time.

By LemonyGaron1 on 31 Aug 2022 16:59

I started a new save and did it in one sitting. It still stacked my game time 😡. Did it in just under 3 and half hours and got absolutely nothing for it. Joke.

kinda fun to rip through the game with the grapple feeling invincible on easy.

By Clubmau5 on 06 Nov 2022 04:08

Does anyone know if you can speedrun by replaying missions back-to-back? Not sure if you could do this or have to make a new save game to speedrun.

By mi2good4u on 06 May 2023 15:37

So we can't go back later and do missions faster for overall better times? This has to be a fresh game?

By Draco719 on 23 May 2023 15:37

Just completed it today, didn’t pop. Time was less than 5 hours.

Guess I’ll do it again….

By Kristoffski KJ7 on 14 Jun 2023 23:48

Did you do it on coop? For me it unlocked right after the last mission and for my teammate it didn't unlock. He was host and we just played together.

By dk ceasar on 16 Jun 2023 13:17

2h 33min 35s! Thanks for the guide

By Mr Knarcus on 07 Jul 2023 21:42

Does this have to be done with a new game? Can individual missions be replayed and once the minimum total time for all missions is under 8 hours it pops?

By KiloOscarZulu on 11 Jul 2023 10:17

For KiloOscarZulu's question, I think you need to play a new game. I did it in co-op with a friend. It was his first playthrough while I reused my save while being a host. I didn't have achievement unlike him.

By Mikael093 on 07 Sep 2023 09:44

2 hours 44 minutes and 58 seconds. Fresh save, using bandana, boom skulls, then grabbing the scorpion gun at first chance.

By zZombieCat on 07 Jun 2024 20:36

Would honestly recommend doing this in the same run as your LASO playthrough. The current run involves obtaining the

on mission 3, and carrying that with you through the rest of the run, with a sword as your secondary for shield recharge. Without going for any collectibles or upgrades, my LASO run clocked in at 5:46:32, so there's a lot of room to spare. With bandana on, most enemies can be out spammed.

Would be worth saving yourself an entire playthrough IMO, especially if 343 decides to change the LASO requirements and gets rid of bandana/scorpion gun which make the run infinitely easier.

By ThePuffyPenguin on 11 Dec 2021 13:12

I did this on my normal, heroic, and legendary run BUT my achievement NEVER popped again, sigh, time for a 4th run
Edit: finally got it by doing 1 singular run without stopping, pausing was fine but never left the game

Also obtained the Easter Egg portable tank gun at the start of the 3rd mission. Not sure if all that is relevant. Thanks for your post!!

By TheSpeedyCready on 13 Dec 2021 22:53

Just another confirmation comment. Just beat the game in 2:34:06 with Grunt birthday, IWHBYD, and Bandana skulls on while using the tank gun the entire time. Jumped off a few bridges when I accidentally dropped the tank gun and even hit "restart level" to get it back once. As long as you complete all the missions in under 8 hours, I don't think anything will void the progress (Also like Hochberg mentioned in their comment, I did not get an achievement to pop on screen, but it does show as unlocked for me.).

By fadedassassin on 20 Dec 2021 06:29

5:45:28 in-game time on Easy with Bandana and max Grapple Shot, Shield, and Threat Sensor. Made a few side trips to pick up sufficient cores for above, but from the other comments, apparently not necessary. Under 3h would be an interesting goal...

...but apparently "Plausible". Ran it again as above and added the Scorpion Tank gun "Easter egg" (and having hijacked Ghosts and Banshees en route)- completed in 3:33:03 with minimal distractions and/or "unnecessary" combat. Having made some notes on that run, may try it again.

By UNSC Jon 117 on 24 Feb 2022 20:02

I beat this game in about 5 1/2 hours. I was doing a playthrough with the intention of picking up the skulls, especially Bandana, that I hadn't gotten yet, but then I found that I could pickup Forza Veloce as a bonus while I was at it.

For most of the playthrough I was using the Scorpion gun that you can pickup at Base Tremonious. I recommend you find a Youtube guide on how to do it. It's a good way to get through content very smoothly and quickly but is definitely not necessary.

By Clutch Signify on 21 Mar 2022 17:36

Just finished in 3 hours dead (pretty much), having taken my foot off the gas considerably toward the end of the game. Easy with Bandana skull and Tank Gun, not a difficult achievement at all.

As others mentioned, if you start a new file from the "Load" screen by choosing an empty slot you get a fresh timer, but accessing another slot appears to alter the play time for the others. I loaded up my Heroic slot after speedrunning the first mission for Forza Veloce and was alarmed to see the play time now sat at 32 hours on the new slot! Deleting it, starting over and doing it in one sitting got me the achievement without further issue.

By The Reverend JC on 10 Jul 2022 22:45

Replaying missions doesn't work if your save file is already over 8 hours.

By Master Okojo on 20 Nov 2022 20:28

First try got 2:23:23. I messed up and dropped the tank gun in the tower and going back added a good 15 minutes to my last checkpoint. It's amazing how many of the missions and areas can just be ran straight through with grappling. The entire mission of "the road" was done in under 2 minutes just bee lining for the end and skipping all the enemies. It's also worth noting that in the same run I got "conservation of momentum", "more than he bargained for", and "gatecrasher" as well just cause of running through like I was. Next up is the headmaster achievement... That might take a good bit longer lol

As others have recommended, earn the Bandana skull first before trying this; makes it MUCH easier. I ran this on Easy with Bandana, Grunt Birthday Party, and IWHBYD. I also upgraded the Shield to max first, then the Grappleshot with what was left of the few Spartan Cores I bothered to pick up. I had debated about upgrading the Threat Sensor, but didn't use it sufficiently often to make a difference. Neither did I upgrade the Drop Wall nor Thruster.

General tips:
* Your other car is a Grappleshot. Seriously. And "grapple-jack" vehicles (e.g. Ghosts, Banshees) when convenient. This is also the quickest way to board an unoccupied vehicle as well vs moving next to it and holding

until you board. I prefer Ghosts over the Mongoose for the boost ability. You can grapple a Wraith, but can't jack it; don't waste time planting grenades, just move on.
* You can Grappleshot *across* (active) Grav Lifts and Teleporters, which will transport you as soon as you cross them. If you've done what's needed to activate one and are waiting for it, stand on it while waiting vs waiting then moving to it.
* Skip all unnecessary combat, i.e. unless a terminal won't unlock due to enemies nearby. In rooms with terminals that require Power Seeds, you may be able to grab a Power Seed, place it in the terminal, and move on without clearing the room. If you need to clear the room, it'll tell you (i.e. "enemies nearby").
* Skip all FOBs except Foxtrot; mission "Recovery" requires *one* to be claimed, and it's nearest to the start of the mission. It'll also get you a Mongoose for the trip to The Tower.
* Skip any Spartan Cores that are "off the beaten path". If they're directly in front of you (like the first one at the start of Outpost Tremonius), or "nearby" (like the ones near the Beacons), grab 'em. But don't go driving/flying/grappling around just to pick up more. I grabbed enough to max Shields and Grappleshot - and probably didn't even need to worry about the Grappleshot.
* If you plan to save the game and "Finish the Fight" after completing this achievement, a) don't skip of the Equipment Upgrades you find during missions (as you can't get back to them later without replay, which hasn't been added yet), and b) you might consider keeping the "boss weapons" from "House of Reckoning" (same reason). On my prior speed run I kept one plus the tank gun, but on my latest I dropped the tank gun to keep both.

Mission-specific tips (may contain spoilers):

Mission: Warship Gbraakon
No spoilers; "sweep and clear" only when needed.

Mission: Foundation
No spoilers; "sweep and clear" only when needed.

Mission: Outpost Tremonius

Mission: Recovery
No spoilers; clear and claim FOB Foxtrot, then requisition a Mongoose and drive to The Tower.

Mission: The Tower

Mission: Excavation Site

Mission: Conservatory
No spoilers; "sweep and clear" only when needed.

Mission: Spire

Mission: Pelican Down
No spoilers; "sweep and clear" only when needed. You'll find nearby vehicles; grapple-jack a Ghost if you prefer. Some of the Spartan Cores are "close" - your call to spend the time collecting 'em or not (I picked up 4 of the 5).

Mission: The Sequence

Mission: Nexus

Mission: The Command Spire

Mission: Repository
No spoilers; "sweep and clear" only when needed.

Mission: The Road

Mission: House of Reckoning

Mission: Silent Auditorium

Hope this is useful. Enjoy!

Good guide. 3:28:13 without trying very hard. Even died a few times. Rocket launcher and tank gun all the way through.

2:35:00 Without any trouble, Just needs a BR/Commando and the Tank gun. Play as you normally would while grappling non stop past any enemies.

Settings are Easy with Bandana.

Difficulty easy. Bandanna and of course grunt birthday part skull active. Grabbed the scorpion gun for good measure. Got it done under 3 hours just swinging towards every destination with the occasional vehicle. Most fun I ever had playing a Spider-Man game.

Note this is 8 hours of game time. If you go to the load game screen, you can see how many game hours you've spent. I did this across a few days real time. 5 hours game time, and still got this.

First earn the bandana skull “spoiler warning”

The level The Silent Auditorium, where you cannot kill any sentinels & a light bridge will show up going straight instead of left to continue the level.

Next start a new game on easy with the bandana skull & the find the scorpion tank gun, which is on top of the cannons of the crashed ship “first level outside”. Get it before calling in the pelican.

Continue the story & remember to only use the grappling hook with any gun not the tank gun since if you lose it you cannot pick it back up & have to start a new playthrough.

Ignore every FOB since you have unlimited grappling hook. For the mission with the forerunner beacons you should use a banshee to get around, but is not required. Most bosses will only take 1 to 2 shots to beat with the tank gun.

If you only focus on the story & nothing else you can beat the game in about 3 hours.

Mint blitz has a video on youtube on how to get the tank gun

What's this mean? "The level The Silent Auditorium, where you cannot kill any sentinels & a light bridge will show up going straight instead of left to continue the level."

The level Silent Auditorium has a hidden skull that requires you to not kill any of the sentinels during the level for it to appear. The skull is bandana which gives you infinite ammo, not magazine, and also removes cool down on abilities.

Hey y’all, just posting to tell you guys this achievement is seriously easy

.

I’ve got a few tips though: only play the main missions, don’t mess around in the open world too much. Skip cutscene if It’s your second play through. Lastly, play on easy difficulty.

Below is an image of my LASO (the hardest difficulty by FAR in the game) run. Even though it’s the hardest, I managed to beat it in under 6 hours!

This guide was translated automatically.

Done on the second playthrough, with the "Bandana" skull active. This way you can run through most of the battles in the missions. My speedrun took 2:18.
