I spent 3 hours playing through the ark on legendary without getting in a vehicle, touching a turret, or even boarding the thousand ghosts choppers and wraiths only for the achievement to not unlock. I don’t want to go through that hell hole again of respawns and deaths, any troubleshooting or help? Gamer tag is delta00803 (edit) I also waited 2 days and restarted my xbox before contacting support and the forums and it still didn’t pop.
There is a much easier “cheat” method you can use to unlock this achievement. When setting up the mission in the pregame lobby, turn on the Iron skull. Then play through the level as you normally would. You can enter any vehicle you’d like (Warthog, Scorpion, Wraith, etc.). Any time you die, just immediately hit start before you respawn, save and quit, and then load up the level again. This will negate the effect of the Iron skull, and you will be at your last checkpoint instead of at the beginning of the level. Towards the end of the mission, there aren’t any more vehicles, and as long as you die at one of the last checkpoints and do the immediate pause then save and quit before you respawn, the game will still register the Iron skull and once you load the level again, you will be at that checkpoint as if you never entered a vehicle at all (even though you did). Complete the level, and the achievement will pop. I know it may sound confusing, but I can assure you it 100% works.

I recommend 4 player coop for this one and hosting it

Sounds like a plan, thanks for the help I’ll be sure to try this over the weekend.

I got this achievement a LONG time ago, so they may have patched it, but I remember at the time you couldn’t do it at current version. So if you only had digital you couldn’t get it. I had to delete the game, take offline, and play off the disc without update and then it worked.
