How to unlock the Overkill achievement in Halo Wars 2 - Definitive Guide
This achievement will come naturally over the course of your time playing the many Multiplayer, Skirmish, and Blitz modes. If, however, you want to grind it out, grab another player and employ the strategy below, as made available by Shadow 00 Fox and Erazor.
Jump into a Skirmish lobby with your partner and set up a 1v1 match (remove any and all AI). Be sure to make the following setting changes:
- Gametype: Stronghold
- Starting Supply: 9999
- Starting Power: 9999
- Fog of War: OFF
Both players should choose Atriox or Decimus as their leader; the Shipmaster will work, too, in truth.
Now start the match. Each player should capture three Control Points. Make sure the seventh Control Point is left alone. Both players should then begin to construct as many Suicide Grunts as possible and grouping them up in an open area of the map (but separated from each other). Once Player 2 (the Co-Op partner) has maxed out their Units and has them grouped together, Player 1 should use the Glassing Beam Leader Power to kill the Suicide Grunts. Now Player 2 can do the same on Player 1's squadron of Suicide Grunts.
While you wait for the Leader Power to cool down, build up another army of Suicide Grunts and get them into position. You can then repeat this process over and over again as needed.
After killing 500 Units with Leader Powers, the achievement will finally unlock.
