  • How to unlock Mortardom

    The first order of business here before attempting this achievement is to successfully hijack an enemy Wraith. The best way in doing so would be to pick off a Wraith’s turret gunner from afar with a ranged weapon, and then shooting an overcharged Plasma Pistol shot to immobilize the vehicle. With the vehicle immobilized, you will now want to quickly jump into the turret gunner seat. This will force the driver out of the cockpit, so get ready to mow down the pilot with the turret and the Wraith is now yours.

    With this in mind, load up Rally Point Bravo on the mission in question and proceed through the canyon and through the Forerunner structure until you take a portal that links you up with your Marines. It's worth noting that during the canyon fight, you should grab a Plasma Pistol. Once you are grouped up with your Marines, hop inside one of the Scorpion tanks and kill your allies and the Covenant Ghosts in the area.

    Now you can safely pick off the gunner of the Wraith straight ahead, Plasma Pistol overcharge the vehicle, and grab it for yourself. There a total of six or seven enemy Wraiths in this area, so killing four shouldn't be a problem. Once four enemy Wraiths have been destroyed via your own, this achievement will unlock.

  • Simplest method to earn this achievement is to hijack the first Wraith you happen upon using a Plasma Pistol to disable it. While it is tricky to fit the tank inside the Mammoth vehicle bay you can simply drive it over the toxic stream without damage if you're fast enough. From thereon out take out every Wraith you encounter. It should unlock during the Lich battle before entering the Forerunner structure. If not, repeat this process during the final tank battle near the end of the level where a handful more Wraiths will be encountered.

  • Can't get this one to pop.
  • No matter what I do the wraith always explodes. If I use the above method, if I shoot or melee kill the driver still sitting in the tank, if I enter the plasma turret, the freaking thing always goes BOOM when the driver is dead or not inside the tank anymore. What am I doing wrong??
  • I restarted the mission from the beginning, hijacked the very first wraith (on my second attempt) and it didn't explode! :) From there I continued the mission and after I destroyed 5 (!) enemy wraiths the achievement finally unlocked! :D
