Prevent all Jackals from regenerating their shields in Operation B, Mission 3

How to unlock the Nowhere to Hide achievement in Halo: Spartan Assault - Definitive Guide

This achievement is obtained in Operation B Mission 3.

The trick is here to kill the Jackals (enemies with pink shields) before their shield regenerate. When you attack them it will take down their shield so you can kill them. The best way to do this is to avoid them as much as possible. First go south and let you fellow Spartans die to the turret. They tend to take down enemy shields and not finish them off. Then from there focus on killing the elites and healing with the armor ability when needed.

What worked for me was plasma grenades on the Jackals. I tried to avoid them as much as possible unless they were blocking my path. There are plenty of plasma grenades on the level, so as long as you take your time, it's easily doable this way also.

This achievement is glitched for me. I've done the mission using everything possible. Damage boosters, special weapons, all one-hit kills, speedruns where I took them out in seconds each and completed the mission in like 60 seconds flat: no dice. Not sure what to do. Based on the TA ratio of this, most people are getting it pretty easily and definitely with well less effort than I've put into it. I'd curious to find out if it's bugged for anyone else. I guess I'll keep trying.

Alright, I knew that as soon as I posted on this site, it would suddenly unlock. A few tries later it did. I don't know what gives. Maybe I was skipping past the mission end screen too quickly? I can confirm that the achievement unlocks at the mission end screen, and the previous 10 attempts I just hammered A right past it.

Thanks BigBB, I definitely thought mine was glitched now too, but I ended the mission and waited like 30 seconds for it to finally pop. Cheers!

Video-guide of Halo: Spartan Assault to get the Nowhere to Hide achievement. For this select group B-3 mission and complete the level without breaking any jackal shield. First you have to cause a suicide of our mates. Then use plasma grenades or shotguns for one side or from the back to finish the jackal that bother us.

At the beggining of the video I speak in Spanish but it's just and introduction and I don't say anything relevant

If anyone make a negative vote please tell me why, so I can improve my future videos.
Greets.

This achievement can be tackled in one of two ways. You can either avoid Jackals completely, or use a strong close-quarters weapon, like the Shotgun or Assault Rifle, to kill them quickly before they have a chance to regenerate their shields. I would also suggest the first method, but if you want to kill them just to be sure, take note that once you break their shields, they will usually cower and run away. You will have about ten to fifteen seconds to kill them before their shields can regenerate so be quick about disposing of them!

Alternatively, if you want to sacrifice your fellow marines for the greater good, follow the video guide below. Sometimes, they will destroy a Jackal’s shield but then not finish the enemy off. The Jackal will then regenerate their shield and this will void the achievement. I personally recommend purchasing and using a Sniper Rifle on this mission if you choose to directly kill the Jackals yourself.

This will be the first mission you encounter Jackals (shield wielding enemies on). Overall, taking them down is pretty straight forward - either use grenades or rush them from the front/ side to melee their shield down then kill them, or just blast them twice with the shotgun. There are about a dozen teams of two scattered throughout the map, and the most frustrating part about this achievement is that your teammates might knock the shield of an offscreen Jackal down and it will come back up before you even realize what happened. Thus you want to try and keep pace so your teammates are always moving and don't get distracted, and when you take down a Jackal's shield, make sure you chase him down (they'll run away) to finish him off.

Alternatively, if the Marines are constantly stealing your kills, you can use the blue explosive canisters near the start of the mission to teamkill your marines and then just bounce around the map on your own to assassinate the Commanders, ignoring the Jackals entirely. Thanks to Darkened Night for the tip.

Note: There's an active camouflage pickup near the Hornet at the beginning of the level which will make 1-shot blasting targets easier with the shotgun.
