Like a Fine Wine Achievement in Halo: The Master Chief Collection

As with any of the playlists dedicated to the Halo: CE Campaign, the LASO Campaign playlist will task players in completing all ten missions on the Legendary difficulty with all skulls on. Take note however that the developer has selected a preset number of skulls for this Campaign, so all the skull modifiers aren’t technically activated. It is also worth mentioning that this achievement can be earned in either Solo or Co-Op play.

What’s more, it’s important to remember that only scoring skulls will be activated. These generally reward players with higher score multipliers and bonuses to base enemy values (for Par Score achievements). Non-scoring skulls on the other hand are sometimes neutral, such as Grunt Birthday Party, or considered “cheat skulls” such as Bandana and Scarab Gun. Below, you can get a glimpse of all the skulls that will be activated in the Halo: CE LASO Campaign playlist.

• Black Eye - Your shields only recharge when you melee enemies. Bash your way to better health!
• Boom - Explosions have twice the damage radius. Light fuse, run away.
• Fog - The motion tracker is disabled. You'll miss those eyes in the back of your head.
• Eye Patch - Auto aim features disabled for all weapons. You'll miss it when it's gone.
• Famine - Weapons dropped by AI have half the ammo they normally would. You might want to pack an extra magazine.
• Foreign - Covenant weapons: How do they work? Players cannot pick up or use Covenant weapons.
• Grunt Birthday Party – Grunt headshots lead to glorious celebrations.
• Grunt Funeral - Grunts die in a blaze of glory. And plasma.
• Iron - Death carries a heavy price. Dying in co-op resets you at your last saved checkpoint. Dying solo restarts the level.
• Malfunction - Every time you respawn, a random element of your HUD is disabled.
• Mythic - Enemies have increased health.
• Recession - Every shot is worth twice the ammo. Save those bullets, playa.

As a few general tips, keep the following suggestions in mind when tackling this achievement. First, take combat slowly and try picking off enemies from afar with short controlled bursts. Since ammo costs twice as much, weapons will have less ammo upon pick-up, and you won’t be able to pick up Covenant weapons, you’ll need to utilize the firepower and magazine size of UNSC weapons such as the Magnum, Assault Rifle, Sniper, and Shotgun. Secondly, since your shields won’t recharge unless you melee an enemy, it may be smart to occasionally tackle weaker enemies such as Grunts head-on when necessary. Lastly, explosions are twice as large and Grunt corpses create secondary explosions on the battlefield so make use of grenades often when flushing out large groups of enemies in confined spaces.

With enough persistence and skill, the Halo: CE LASO Campaign playlist shouldn’t be too hard. As previously mentioned, the developer has picked and chose very specific skulls here, and it would appear that some of the harder skull modifiers, such as Iron, Blind, and Mythic, aren’t present here. Just take the missions slowly and once the tenth mission has been completed through this playlist, the achievement will unlock.
