How to unlock the KillJoy achievement in Halo Wars: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

As a UNSC leader, play a Deathmatch 1v1 with a friend who is either the Brute Chieftain or Regret. Drop a disruption bomb, have them stand outside its area of effect, call their ability outside of the area of affect, then drag their ability toward the disruption bomb. This can be done five times while a single disruption bomb is up.

This solution is good and should not have as many negative votes as it does. Tumbs up from me. I would add this can be done solo, but may be a hit or miss. That or the game may be glitched. Let me explain.

Game setup was Deathmatch, I was Forge, AI was Arbiter set to normal. All I did was placed two Grizzly Tanks at the bottom of both slopes that lead to the Arbiter's main base and captured all other bases on the map. Set to normal the AI normally only tries to leave the base through one of the two slopes. The Arbiter attacked, I released the disrupter, and unless I am missing something I got the achievement after one disruption.

If the game did glitch for me and no one else can replicate this situation you can still do this 5 times solo. Just kill the Arbiter each time, repair your Grizzly tanks with a few Cyclops units and wait for the Arbiter to return. It takes a bit longer, but you don't need to have friends online.

You people giving negative votes on his guides stop being salty he beat the game first. This guide has exactly what you need to complete the achievement.

This achievement is glitched. I've attempted this with my brother twice and still nothing. I've spent an hour both times to unlock this. Seems like another 343 bug.

@The Dawn of Don

Worked first time for me thanks! You should write this as a solution.
It's a better method for people playing solo.

@The Dawn of Don, the Arbiter doesn't seem to want to spawn for me. Any tips?

It would help if I actually paid attention to the map you had to do it on..... After 45 minutes of trying I changed to the correct map and it popped the first time....

I did this also with The Dawn of Don's method because I wanted to knock it out solo. I think I encountered something similar aswell, I only disrupted the Prophet of Regret's Cleansing Beam twice and it popped.
I'm wondering if Leader Power attempts count or something like that? Like the AI is trying to use it but obviously it can't because the bomb is down. But, with some many glitches with many of the achievements in this game maybe it's just straight up glitched. Anyway, thanks a lot for the solutions guys and good luck.

Thanks Dawn of Don! Got it after using disrupt only 2 times :) quick extra tip for people who follow his guide, it might happen that the AI does not make a temple and therefore does not spawn a leader. Just use a unit to scout the base, and if you don't see a temple, destroy the buildings he has and then leave (without destroying the main base part). Continue doing that until he has a temple.

Apologies to the writer of the guide, but Dawn of Don's strategy worked perfect. I had to try twice however, as for some reason on the first try the AI didn't build a Temple and thus not an Arbiter. I even attacked and destroyed a few buildings to get it to rebuild, but no go. So I killed him and tried again. Got it that time.

To fire the Disruption Bomb you must be a UNSC Leader. Press D-Pad Up and use LS to select Disruption Bomb.

*** Posting the solution of The Dawn of Don - which doesn't require you to start a match with a friend ***

Players: 1v1
Map: Blood River (1v1)
Mode: Deathmatch
Difficulty: Normal

Forge vs any Covenant (I prefer the Prophet as his power is the easiest to spot)

Build a vehicle depot and queue up Grizzlies and Cyclops. Capture the two other bases on the map. Place two Grizzly Tanks and a couple of Cyclops at the bottom of both slopes that lead to the enemy's main base. Use your Warthog to scout the enemy base to see if he built a Temple. If he didn't, either destroy a couple of buildings with your Grizzlies or restart again until he has a Temple. When the enemy hero attacks (I was up against the Prophet), release the disrupter. After one disruption, the achievement should pop. If it doesn't, kill the prophet, wait for him to respawn and repeat four more times (here, the Emperor Skull might come in handy, as it reduces the recharge times of your Powers).

I played on an Xbox One.

Is there any way to force regret to use his power?
Also the skull you want is Emperor which reduces cooldown of player powers. Catch only affects your unit abilities (e.g. warthog ram).

Thanks, I updated the guide with Emperor hero power.

As for forcing the prophet, normally the AI should use it, as it’s Death Match and everyone has plenty of resources. If the prophet doesn’t for some reason, I made sure to kill all the other enemy troops and then attack him (but make sure not to kill him too quickly!) which should prompt him using the power to save his skin.

Play a Deathmatch on Normal as Forge against the Arbiter. Produce Grizzlys and take over the other two bases. At some point, the Arbiter will attack one of your bases and will enter rage mode. Select your disruptor and deploy it near the Arbiter. The ability will last long enough to cancel out the Arbiter’s rage mode five times. If for some reason it doesn’t, take out the Arbiter and any units he has brought with him and wait until he attacks again.
