Questions about Achilles Progress

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Hey folks!

Just had a few questions that I hope the community has some answers or insight to. We’re actively tracking some stats toward our company’s Achilles progress and we’re curious about a few of the commendations. Specifically, we’re curious about what qualifies (or doesn’t qualify) toward progress in different commendation categories:

  1. What melee medals count toward melee kills? Is it only melee kill? What about brawler, beat downs and SniPunch? Do assassinations count?
  2. What weapons qualify as standard weapons?
  3. Do perfect kill medals count as headshots? What about sniper headshots?

  • Beat Downs, Brawler, Snipunch count as melee kills. - Perfect kills count as headshots - Standard weapons (by my guess) are: Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, Magnum, SMG, DMR

Your guess is correct, yes.

1- If I’m remembering correctly, sword kills don’t count towards the commendation. Back during the grind, we would put on bayonets and the speed boost armor mod in warzone to get very quick and easy melee kills. No, assassinations don’t count.

2- Not sure, that commendation was just completed over time, we didn’t have to go for it.

3- Yes. Any type of headshot.
