Reach's Achievements Revealed

Bungie.net>> It’s only a matter of time before Halo Reach’s Achievements leak. It is officially the third of life’s inevitabilities, taking a place a few pegs below Death and Taxes. So while we’re not going to unpack all of the Achievements today, we are going to show you all of the icons. It’s such a shame that you only see these at "petite res" in-game, Dave Candland, Andrew Davis and Stosh’s work deserves to be blown up.

Really though, has there ever been a game that didn’t have their Achievements leak early? I can’t think of one. Airtight isn’t the first word that comes to mind when thinking about Achievement security. It makes sense to reveal a few of these now, Sketch and Urk will dole the rest of them out as they see fit: 

• A Monument to All Your Sins – Complete each Campaign Mission on Legendary – alone.
• Banshees, Fast and Low – Hijack a Banshee during the Reach Campaign.
• Yes, Sensei – Earn a First Strike Medal in a Matchmaking game.
• A New Challenger – Complete all of the Daily Challenges in a given day.
• Make It Rain – Purchase an item from the Armory that requires the rank of Lt. Colonel.

There will be 49 total Achievements in Reach. Twenty-three of them are Campaign-specific Achievements. We set out to make sure that each Campaign mission has its own ‘special’ Achievement, like: 

If They Came to Hear Me Beg – Perform an Assassination against an Elite to survive a fall that would’ve been fatal. 

Achievements were bucketed into five different groups, Campaign (23), Firefight (7), Multiplayer (4), Training (6) and Player Experience (9). Some of the Training Achievements can be earned in both Campaign and Firefight.
