How to unlock the Vidmaster Challenge 2.0 achievement in Halo: Spartan Assault - Definitive Guide
1. Make sure you keep the shotgun, and get the laser in the other weapon slot.
2. Use the enemy leashing to your advantage; most enemies will not chase you far at all, and with the default active cammo armor ability it's pretty easy to get away.
3. Kill all invisible sword elites with your shotgun (to save laser ammo), and pick up the assault rifle from dead marines if you can after the shotgun is out. Also, you may have to use the beat down on the invisible enemies because they seem to take a ridiculous amount of shots if you aren't using the shotgun.
4. Pop the active cammo and fire the laser if you feel you're in trouble, you can usually kill every enemy onscreen even with thunderstorm on.
5. Go to the bottom left core first killing all the invisible enemies first, so you don't get boxed in when you get to the core. Fire the laser as soon as you get a clean shot.
6. Then go the the bottom/middle right core 2nd, use the laser right away, go to the 3rd, do the same, and then it's just basically clean up. If you conserved your laser ammo you can just use that to kill the last few enemies on the top left.
You have to use the Blind and Thunderstorm skulls active and complete the level. Blind removes your HUD while Thunderstorm makes the enemies tougher. I'm personally think it makes them throw more grenades and bullet sponges. Melee kills them way easier then bullets if you get an opportunity. In this mission you want to destroy 3 light balls one in the southwest, another in the southeast, and the last one, in the northeast. You come with the cloak armor ability and have 2 Spartans that respawn and follow you. Use them to distract the enemy while you are completing the objective. The shotgun and grenades take down the balls relatively quickly. Lastly head north and kill the enemies on the bridge and head through the door to complete the level.
1. Loadout: overshield and damage booster.
2. Run past everything only stopping to pick up grenades and maybe shoot anything in the way. Just keep on using overshield the whole time (it recharges really quick)
3. When you reach the targets, just move around throwing grenades at it until it blows up. Then run away.
That's it: took me a few minutes at most.
Also you get a free overshield and damage boost for completing halo 4 so cost nothing if you've not redeemed them
The path I took was Left, destroy that one with a Shade, right, back to start, up, camo past the drones, right, down, grenade number two, return left, go up, camo past the drones again, right, blew up that one with grenades, camo away from the brute, continue top left, camo up to the shade in the middle of the enemies and kill all 6 of them. Ran for the rendezvous points and completed the mission with a score of sub 50K.
The invisible guys I just sneaked around and left them alone or I camoed and shot them up close with the shotguns. With the damage boost all of the cores take 2 grenades to blow up.
Never used the laser during the entire mission so don't waste your money.
the storm skull wich will make enemies more diffiuclt and blind us so we wont be able to see neither the minimap, ammo and life.
My commendation would be to use invisibility as much as possible and move around the invisible enemies that bother us, meanwhile we hit them on meele,
(that way they wont be able to damage us) with a bit of practice you will be able to do this fast and easy.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.
In the pre-game lobby, make sure to turn on both the Blind and Thunderstorm skulls. With these two skulls activated, Blind will remove your HUD entirely and Thunderstorm will increase the damage that enemies can take before they die. The former skull shouldn’t be much of a problem, as you shouldn’t need to rely on your ammo gauge or shields bar that often anyways. As for the Thunderstorm skull, you’ll most likely be running past all the enemies in the mission so again, it won’t be much of an issue. If you have the Spartan Points, I would recommend buying either the Sniper Rifle or Rocket Launcher to rid of enemies quicker and to destroy the fusion cores much quicker as well.
The three fusion cores are located in the bottom left of the map, bottom right, and top right. You start out the mission with two fellow Spartans and the Active Camo ability, so use the AA and your AI to your advantage in picking off enemies or slipping by enemies when necessary.
Once you have destroyed all the fusion cores, proceed to the top section of the map where you will need to clear out a few Elites and Jackals before crossing a light bridge. Once you enter the tunnel at the end of the bridge, the mission will end and your achievement will unlock.
