Update 11/23: As others have pointed out, completing a single challenge for the Fracture: Tenrai event will unlock this achievement, which is exponentially easier than the original solution. This will likely also apply to any future limited-time events (as long as they have associated challenges), so if you missed Tenrai, it's probably best to wait until one of those rolls around.
Fracture Tenrai event dates:
Week 1: November 23 – November 29, 2021
Week 2: January 4 – January 10, 2022
Week 3: February 1 – February 7, 2022
Week 4: February 22 – March 1, 2022
Week 5: March 29 – April 5, 2022
Week 6: April 19 – April 26, 2022
Here is the old solution in case you ever want to attempt this while no event is active:
You can earn this is by completing all of the Weekly Challenges, and then subsequently the Weekly Ultimate challenge. This will unlock the achievement and whatever the weekly cosmetic reward is. This can be a bit time consuming and involve some luck because some of the challenges can get very specific. Be aware that not all of the weekly challenges are active at once, you can view your Upcoming Challenges too, which will swap in once you complete the active ones. After you complete all of them and there are no upcoming ones left, then the Ultimate challenge will kick in.
I'm not currently sure how much variance there is in what kind of weekly challenges you will get compared to mine. Many of the challenges were earned just by playing, but a few of them involved using a specific weapon/vehicle or were tasks like using the Repulsor to knock people off the map (camping near the Gravity Hammer/Energy Sword spawn on Recharge is great for this).
Another tip: you can earn challenge swaps via the free Battle Pass or by paying money, these can be useful in case you get a really annoying challenge or a glitched challenge, which happened to me. I had a challenge for getting a kill with the Heatwave that never tracked, so I swapped it out.
My Ultimate challenge was simply to complete 15 PvP games, which I'm sure will vary week-to-week. Feel free to ask any questions about specific challenges or contribute additional info in the comments

Can someone tell me what the colors mean of the challenges? Some have a grey background, some blue?
By Tjeuis2good4u on 19 Nov 2021 23:45
Blue ones are a bit harder/longer and give more XP.
By BAMMphil on 20 Nov 2021 02:09
When viewing your active challenges, look at the bottom of your screen for a prompt to view upcoming challenges. It's R on PC, not sure what it is on Xbox.
By Delta748 on 17 Nov 2021 09:04
Genuinely curious about the downvotes, I tried to be as thorough as possible since there's a lot of nuance to how this challenge system works. Is it just because people are annoyed at how much time is required?
By Soundgoodizer on 17 Nov 2021 09:22
On the console (or specifically, when using a controller since I'm on PC too but playing with controller), it's the button Y. Same location.
Maybe they downvoted because of too much text or something. Maybe they only read the first chunk and were like "nope, not helpful".
By CommanderCH on 17 Nov 2021 14:02
Siundgoodizer I think it's a good guide tho I was wondering how many challenges have to be done before it unlocks?
By Shadow Demon117 on 17 Nov 2021 14:39
Fair enough lol I did write a lot of text. Also, I'm not too sure exactly how many challenges there were in total because I had already completed quite a few before being aware of this achievement, I'll have to check next week when they refresh
By Soundgoodizer on 17 Nov 2021 15:33
Ok fair I guess let the grind begin
By Shadow Demon117 on 17 Nov 2021 16:03
I believe you have to complete 20 weekly challenges to clear out your selection. I read something that mentioned there being a larger pool of challenges that you get a random selection of 20 from, that way not everyone is attempting the same challenges at once, making it more manageable if you need kills with a specific weapon for example.
By Samurizan on 17 Nov 2021 17:05
So apparently weekly challenge progress is being reset in a few days and the ultimate reward is being granted to everyone, not sure exactly how this will effect the achievement. It might be worth hurrying up those grinds or waiting until next week to start trying
By Soundgoodizer on 18 Nov 2021 00:17
So I think im one of the first people to do this. You basically just have to do all 20 of the weekly tasks within the 7 days. (Day 2 of 7 for me). You can also use the swaps for easier tasks; This wont effect you getting this achievement.
You'll know when you do them all because you won't have anymore. Eventually the weekly tasks stop coming. Just grind it out.
By Stormtrooper413 on 18 Nov 2021 04:50
No offense but that's pretty much exactly what my guide says haha
By Soundgoodizer on 18 Nov 2021 06:58
They just reset the challenges, I was 5 games away from getting the achievement. Urgh
By SavlarSK on 18 Nov 2021 16:40
Idk about you guys, but all of mine just got reset and I only had one more to do 🙂🙂🙂
By Tender Pantyz on 18 Nov 2021 17:02
Seems like they've already done the reset.
By CommanderCH on 18 Nov 2021 17:03
Dang it, was almost down to just the Legendaries.
I figured when they said this week, they mean after the weekend or something, not literally the next daily reset window, what a pain!
By AceMcCloud on 18 Nov 2021 17:31
Damn that sucks, sorry to hear that lads
By Soundgoodizer on 18 Nov 2021 20:04
Can these be done in bot bootcamp?
By SincereSuperman on 18 Nov 2021 22:55
Not if the challenge specifies PvP
By Soundgoodizer on 18 Nov 2021 23:21
So the progress I made, gone, the challenge swaps I used, wasted. Awesome.
By alladaskill17 on 19 Nov 2021 01:36
I dont understand the limited time challenge, i complete weeklies and more seem to keep coming, like it's not ending...
By count023 on 19 Nov 2021 09:09
Yeah I believe it's not working right now. Looks like it's not keeping track of them, whe should wait for a patch I believe.
By TaDDragonZ on 19 Nov 2021 09:27
You have 3 (or 4 with Battle Pass), “Active” challenge slots, these are the ones you can do.
Press Y to see “Upcoming Challenges”, what they mean is the rest of your weekly challenges in the queue, as you complete the “active” ones they’re replaced with “upcoming” ones until you’ve done them all.
It’s a bit clearer on the HaloWaypoint website or app (swipe right and tap to expand) than in-game.
They reset them yesterday for everyone, I only had a few left and then had a brand new full set.
By AceMcCloud on 19 Nov 2021 14:05
Looks like they had a meeting with the coalition
By BarriedU on 19 Nov 2021 20:27
Can confirm completing all weekly challenges will unlock this achievement. I completed every challenge with 3 days left. Then it unlocked the very next game I played.
By Stiggmataa on 19 Nov 2021 22:11
How exactly does this work. Does challenge swaps simply put it back into the upcoming challenges? or does it completely remove it from your weeklies?
By count023 on 20 Nov 2021 13:09
Swaps literally change the challenge to something completely different, but with the same tier. It doesn't swap challenges with the ones in the upcoming challenges list for you.
By smakzillaa on 20 Nov 2021 15:35
Tengo un desafio de capturar la bandera en partidos jcj, en partida rapida cuenta? ayer anote una y no me conto, alguien sabe si tiene que ser en clasificatoria?
gracias
By PianoNE0 on 22 Nov 2021 05:28
I have completed all my weekly challenges, but nothing has popped. Any ideas?!
By UltimateTT66 on 22 Nov 2021 17:58
Did you complete the weekly ultimate challenge for playing 15 games? When it's done it will say Hello World is completed in the challenge menu
By Soundgoodizer on 22 Nov 2021 18:47
Yes - I had a server drop though as I was exiting to the multiplayer screen after finishing my 15th match. In game now says all weekly challenges and ultimate challenge complete, and the right side "Hello World" panel is also gold, saying complete. However, I've checked on Waypoint too - it says all challenges complete, but "Hello World" is not complete. Seems that disconnect has cost me, and I can't reactivate / recomplete anything in game. I've also tried uninstalling, clearing cache, and replaying all game types, with no luck yet.
By UltimateTT66 on 23 Nov 2021 12:43
Update , I just had the achievement pop out of the blue wasnt even close to doing all weeklys
By K1ng N3cro on 23 Nov 2021 19:19
It seems any challenges relating to the new 'Event' playlist unlocks this achievement - I just completed the challenge 'Kill 10 spartans in Fiesta game modes'.
By PJB on 23 Nov 2021 19:38
i got it, with winning one Fiesta round challenge.
By VanGeko on 23 Nov 2021 20:13
@Soundgoodizer Seen your comment further up and you said you was baffled by the downvotes, have you seen my guide lol. It's just people expected an easy solution or to be able to get it right away, the achievement description was confusing and by the time it was all worked out and now the events have come into play, I'd already received a lot of downvotes which I'll never be able to recover from. No one knew how it worked at first but never mind, disappointing.
By WcG iFredy29 on 23 Nov 2021 20:21
I did all of the weekly challenges this week and the ultimate challenge is to win 17 matches. God damn it. I really should have gotten this during the Tenrai event. For what it's worth, I haven't seen anything that confirms there will be more limited events.
By I Ebon Hawk I on 05 Dec 2021 05:32
There will be, Fracture: Tenrai is coming back in January 2022 and there may even be another separate event before that
By Soundgoodizer on 07 Dec 2021 22:00
Will this unlock if you complete all ten rounds of the winter contingency?
By EYEHUNTER 42 on 22 Dec 2021 00:26
No clue, someone should test that and report back in 10 days
By Soundgoodizer on 22 Dec 2021 01:56
The winter contingency didn’t unlock for me today and I have finished it :(
By brownstar ninja on 30 Dec 2021 18:24
Can confirm winter contingency did not work
By AviatingMuskrat on 30 Dec 2021 22:58
Yeah Winter Contingency definitely doesn't work. Such bullshit.
By l BlackBrian7 l on 31 Dec 2021 18:42
Waste of time doing Winter Contingency.
By lildevilbmxer on 03 Jan 2022 00:31
Apparently Fracture returns tomorrow so should be easy to get then.
I think yall can take a chill pill, no one ever said Winter Contingency would work, there was no "challenge" associated with it so I think it was a reasonable assumption that it might not meet the achievement requirements. All you did was play a single match on ten different days lmao it's not that serious.
That being said, Fracture Tenrai returns literally tomorrow, so you will be able to unlock this easily. You have until January 10th
By Soundgoodizer on 03 Jan 2022 21:58
God I'm so glad I didn't swap the double kill for tactical cuz I'm lazy to play that mode. Until I read your guy's comments and saw some ridiculous challenges. Like fusion coil kills or destroy people's kill streaks. The hardest I got was just 10 kills with sword and that's cuz it wouldn't spawn a lot in fiesta. This achievement took me like 5 hours to get. Glad it's done.
Sorry to those who used winter contingency and didn't work. That blows
By JSP The Great 1 on 04 Jan 2022 05:58
I completed a single match in Fracture Tenrai today and it popped so now's the time.
EDIT: Funny thing is that with a couple of challenge swaps and not too much effort, I completed the full range of weekly challenges by the next day as well. The ultimate challenge was complete 10 PvP matches.
By Gilbert Prime on 04 Jan 2022 18:32
Man, I had to do 7 Tactical Slayer matches to finish Winter Contingency.... Each match seems to have one insanely good player who goes on a 30-kill streak to win. Not fun to play for either team!
By Haseo ATC on 05 Jan 2022 00:07
got this today played 2 matches of cyber showdown - attrition, popped at the end of the 2nd match.
By Boss Complex on 19 Jan 2022 17:40
2 matches of Fracture: Tenrai - Fiesta
By MHacker88 on 01 Mar 2022 04:39
Is that Week 5 date correct?most periods seem to be for 7 days but that one is for way longer. March 29 maybe?
By Big Ell on 06 Mar 2022 14:44
So this is obtainable on 19th April by doing a challenge for the Fracture: Tenrai event? I just don’t get the interface for the other challenges. Thought I did all that was needed.
By mikeazzo on 10 Apr 2022 12:04
When the event is active, the event challenges will be marked with orange in your challenges menu
By Soundgoodizer on 10 Apr 2022 20:09
I confirm Ultimate Weekly Challenge worked. I have just gotten the achievement.
By APOKALIPSYS ZR7 on 11 Dec 2022 20:55
So is this discontinued now with the last update?
By Falcon SVN on 06 Feb 2024 11:55
I completed an Ultimate Weekly. The achievement did NOT unlock for me.
Update; I completed another Ultimate his week, after the new operation. The achievement unlocked for me.
By psportal on 25 Feb 2024 10:30
Complete ultímate weekly challenge too toda, not achievement. Is this discontinued?
By MIPEk#4619 on 02 Mar 2024 16:33
It looks like this is working again as I and a few other have unlocked it over the last few days
By Jarjoevis on 08 Mar 2024 18:05
How do you view upcoming challenges? The interface is very confusing in this game, I don’t even know the proper way to get to the challenges beyond clicking the pop-up like window while waiting for a match.
By THE REAL ESHAM on 17 Nov 2021 08:50
When you're in the Multiplayer lobby, press Y and you will be able to select the challenges menu which will show the list. Then at the bottom of the screen you'll see a button prompt for upcoming challenges. Not at the console atm so I don't remember the specifics but hopefully you can find it
By Soundgoodizer on 17 Nov 2021 09:05
It appears as though "kill an enemy spartan with the heatwave" and "kill 3 enemy spartans with the pulse carbine" (both in PVP, yes I was in PVP when doing them.) are bugged. I'm not sure why. I got 3 kills with the pulse carbine AND a heatwave kill in the same game and it didn't progress anything. I tested this in quickplay, BTB and ranked. no mode made those complete.
I used my challenge swaps on both of those but I'm 110% sure other challenges are bugged like this too.
despite it stating PVP I tested bots too after all those modes and it didn't work, because, I thoughtmaybe they screwed up the wording and meant PVE.
By TheAaronLad on 18 Nov 2021 02:18
Seems grey ones can be done in the bots playlist, while blue requires human players.
By Jeremyh120 on 20 Nov 2021 07:30
The swaps literally save you hours if you can just save them as you level for some of the more annoying ones. For me - I do not want to try to kill 20 people with the Banshee bomb, as an example, or the Wasps' turrets. These became something more manageable (luckily) to "win 3 slayer games" and "win 2 BTB". Save your swaps for a week you're really committed, you'll likely need them. Also, the ravager sucks as a weapon even when charged lol -- got this 2 days ago just wanted to comment that those swaps are huge.
By alladaskill17 on 21 Nov 2021 06:19
I play 2 matches of the "Fracture: Tenrai - Fiesta" playlist and i got the chevo.
By TheIceColdPain on 06 Jan 2022 22:08
All the journalist publications say march 19th but you're right it does seem wrong. I bet it was a typo and a bunch of gaming sites just started copy/pasting the info. I'll edit it because it most likely is the 29th
