How to unlock the Powered by MJOLNIR achievement in Halo: Spartan Assault - Definitive Guide

The following is an excellent solution by PaleGringo for the Windows 8 version. Reposted with his permission.

The only change is that now Overshield and Seeker Drone count. Also, note that you must redo every AA, even if you previously have this achievement for Win 8 or WP8.

PaleGringo's solution:

I picked this one up today and it was easier than I thought. Here are the earliest starting missions for each Armor Ability. You do not need to complete the level for the ability use to count.

Regen Field - A-1
Sprint - A-3
Stun Blast - B-1
Hologram - B-4
Active Camouflage - C-3 (Earliest pickup of this item is Mission B-3)
Hardlight Shield - D-2 (Earliest pickup of this item is Mission C-4. Also available in Co-Op Mission 5)
Autosentry - A-1 (Must be purchased for 300XP or 15 CR, does not occur as starting ability)
Overshield - A-1 (400 XP or 20 CR, one free use by completing Halo 4, also available in some co-op missions)
Seeker Drone - A-1 (800 XP or 40 CR, one free use by completing Halo 4)

Simple enough: start up each level and use the starting Armor ability once and you will get the achievement as soon as the last ability is activated. Easy 20G!

The co-op missions also have Repel and Teleport. These may cause a positive glitch (which might now be patched). It seems that using any 9 different Armor Abilities (out of the 11 available in Campaign plus Co-op) will unlock the achievement. (Thanks, frenchdawg, SedateRial, and DrCanadianNinja for the helpful tips in the comments.) However, S P 4 C E Y reports that this did not work for him.

Thanks for the correction on the GS. I'll look for the Auto Sentry on D-4. Can anyone confirm it's there? Not that 300XP is much to spend, but it's always nice to be complete in a solution. Thanks.

this one is a bit glitchy. I had the achievement pop from using the hardlight shield in co op but have yet to use active camo or hologram as I am still at b - 2

as those two are not in co op and i have yet to reach them, i know i have not used them, but i do have the achievement.

@SedateRial: Interesting. I wonder if the achievement just counts 9 different AA's. You may have used Repel or Teleport, which don't appear in Campaign.

i did use both of those as i have the co op medals that are linked to them.

if any one else can get it to unlock by using those three powers, then that could be an alternative way to obtain the achievement

A few notes:
Active Camo can be picked up in B-3 near where you start.
Hardlight can be picked up in Co-op 5.
Overshield can be used for free in co-op.

I'd note that the COOP abilities have not affected this achievement. I have used every ability on both COOP and SP except the auto sentry and find myself (naturally) one ability off the achievement.

Thanks. The co-op ability glitch may have been patched out. I've added your experience to the solution.

I believe the co-op ability glitch may be fixed as well. It did not work for me either.

^ That's an Xbox One error that can happen with any achievement and any game, based on reports I've seen. The achievement should unlock itself within a day or so. You won't see a notification; you'll just check your achievements and there it is.
