How to unlock the Top Shot achievement in Halo: Reach - Definitive Guide

My first guide.

This is a fairly simple achievement to obtain.

-Go to Matchmaking

-Select the Anniversary Playlist (from here you'll have several options. I picked Anniversary Squad).

-Once in a game, you simply need three head shots in a row. It does NOT have to be a triple kill, nor does it have to be with the pistol. I got mine with the DMR. Simply make sure that your three kills are all head shots, without dying, and this cheevo will pop.

Note: It MUST be an Anniversary playlist. It WON'T work in other gametypes, like Team SWAT for instance.

Good call, import to note that it means three headshot kills not just three shots to the head and you can do body shots until the other players shields pop.

That's right! You can use any means to weaken your opponent. So long as you cap it off with a head shot, you're golden.

Can these achievements be obtained in any playlist, or must it be an Anniversary playlist?

It MUST be an Anniversary playlist, as it specifies in the description of the achievement. I attempted this in just a regular game of Team SWAT, to see if it would work anywhere else, and it turns out it won't. So, make sure it's in Anniversary. You'll get it in no time!

I'm not sure if this was a glitch or not, but I didn't even get these in one life. I killed one guy, died, and then killed two more with headshots and got the achievement.

I do not think that zombies will work for this. Killed 3 in a row multiple times without dying and said headshot each time but no achievement.

Is the map pack with Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary or is it something completely different ?

There are two ways to get the new maps. Yes, they do come with CE:A (in answering your question). Or, you can download them from the market place if you don't have CE:A.

That seems to happen for some players. Glad it worked out for you though. Congrats!

To counter what combicoilag said, I got this achievement in a Team Snipers game (and using the sniper rifle rather than the pistol).

Oh, cool! I've heard of that working for some people and it also not working for others. It seems like this achievement can be finicky at times.

I can tell you right now that this achievement is a bit glitchy. Unlike Ham sanwitch above me, I had to get this with a Sniper Rifle only and in one life.

-Also this can only be done on Anniversary maps; nothing else!

You best option is to get a bunch of friends together and do this achievement that way.

Please leave a comment telling me if this worked for you or not.

The DMR or Magnum will be necessary to pull this off. Simply score three headshot kills in a row without dying. Use the DMR's accuracy and range to your advantage by staying back behind cover while picking the enemies off from afar.
