To anyone here all these years later: This achievement is easier to complete on normal difficulty. Tried a ton of times on easy and didn’t work, then I got it first try on normal.
Normal difficulty. If the banshee is facing nose down, its going to be harder. Make sure the banshee is about as level to the ground as you can make it. Too much of an angle and it will be hard. Break the brutes shields, hold action, then shoot. Gun wont reload as long as you hold action before you start shooting.
i just found out why it wasnt working for me. if you stand to close "under" it and aim for the legs youre actually still hitting the banshee. make sure your shots are actually hitting the brute, indicated by the blood spray. once i did that it instantly worked for me. hope this helps
Yes! This was it! Thanks! Another indicator for those who are struggling--if you can hear the shield flare, you're hitting the brute. If not, you're hitting the 'shee. Try to shoot the feet from behind the vertical break in the back flaps
Took about 25 minutes but I finally got it. Thanks! I ended up backing up more to the left, under an overpass, and the Banshee flew into an alleyway he couldn't get out of.
Love your videos. This Achievement is the only one ive been unable to get from your guides though. I cant seem to board it fast enough before it explodes.
Dustin Olson It is a little tricky at first. You should just hold down your action button while you're shooting the driver. That way when he dies you're already pressing the button to get into the banshee and you'll hop right in :)
It's still not working. I've tried it 4 times with different control schemes, always as close to the banshee as possible while holding down the action button.
2023. Got it second time on Easy. Literally, it took less than a minute. The longest part was driving the tank to the section with the banshees. The first time I accidently destroyed the Banshee before the pilot died, but got it right the second time. Great video
For anyone that sees this. You can still easily do it on easy. Just make sure you’re shooting the torso and holding down the action button at the same time, don’t shoot the feet.
I think you got the backwards. The first time I tried I was shooting the torso and it ended up destroying the banshee. Second time I only shot the feet sticking out and that worked. So idk
I'm a little perplexed. I'm holding down the action/reload button, tapping the fire button just in case and I still am unable to get in the banshee...it just explodes.
Here’s what you do as of FEBRUARY 7th 2021: Play it on NORMAL, go to rally point CHARLIE, (I had IWHBYD and Grunt birthday on not sure if that matters for some strange reason) grab a PLASMA PISTOL first chance you can, use THAT gun to kill the pilot of the banshee after it’s stuck on a wall, and HOLD DOWN RIGHT BUMPER AS YOU ARE SHOOTING THE BRUTE (I played on Recon settings) ***YOU MUST DO THIS IN ONE LIFE*** if you die and go to your last check point the achievement WILL NOT ACTIVATE. I did it successfully 3 times and it didn’t pop and I think it was because I died. You need to do it first try.
Make sure the banshee is as parallel to the ground as possible, not nose down. And make sure that you are getting blood spatters when you shoot the brute.
if the banshee is nose down, make sure to jump and shoot the brute in the feet. You wil clearly see the blood coming out of him. And just hold whatever button it is to get in the vehicle as you shoot him.
For MCC PC as of AUG 2021 , cap framerate at 60 fps , do it on normal , aim at the brute not the banshee , the brutes shield will go down first next all your shots should draw blood from the brute and keep holding E (interact button )
Did it on easy, idk if anyone mentioned this. Grab a plasma pistol. You can overcharge it and emp the banshee and it’s pretty easy to force it into a corner😊
Don't just keep trying to press the action button. Reload once but keep your fingee on the button. It's not a timing trick at all, literally hold down the action button then continue shooting
Took a while but soon as you rid his shield, go through the doorway and find a plasma pistol from a dead grunt then head back and shoot him whilst holding the bumper. due their being with reload you should get it right away
A few Notes - 1. Back away from the Banshee as it approaches as you try to trick it into the corner 2. You can melee the Feet to save ammo and time 3. Tried it on Easy, didn't work. Tried it on Normal and got it on the third try 4. Be careful when you are in the corner as it may try to charge you, keep backing away from it until you get it where it gets stuck
Finally got it after many attempts. Not sure if it helped but on PC I ended up capping the framerate to 60 FPS (based on the assumption that this would increase the time between the pilot dying and the banshee exploding) and also using a controller. I felt like a console peasant but at least I got my achievement ;)
Tried for a solid 20min on easy and then switched to normal, 20min later I read this and switched to 60fps cap from unlimited and it worked probably due to frametime :^) cheers
To everyone who said do this on normal in the comments thank you! Anyone still going for this achievement I tried 5 or so times on easy with no success but instantly worked on normal
Not working... tried it on normal, holding down action button, tried switching controller layout schemes. Nothing. Stupid banshee keeps blowing up. Did 343 change up what difficulty this can be done on overnight???
First, do it on Normal difficulty. Kill the gauss turrent marine and the marine with the rockets right above him on the balcony. Once the banshee is lured, get the banshee in the right position. If the banshee is facing nose down, its going to be harder. Make sure the banshee is about as level to the ground as you can make it. Too much of an angle and it will be hard. Break the brutes shields, hold action, then shoot. Gun wont reload as long as you hold action before you start shooting. Took 3 tries on easy and 3 tries on normal. Irritating.

@@joshua3630just the info I was looking for!
Got it my first try on easy. Still here 2023
I had trouble getting this until I lowered the game's fps to 60. Got it first try after that!
You can actually just hold down the action button as you're shooting the driver and you can get in. That way, you don't have to time it.

The blood spray was the key indicator for me. Thanks.

Gotta love the Firefly reference. :)

Halo Completionist Yeah, that's what caught me out to start with. Press and HOLD DOWN your boarding button - KEEP IT PRESSED while you shoot to board.
It's still not working. I've tried it 4 times with different control schemes, always as close to the banshee as possible while holding down the action button.
call it coincedence but as soon as I switched to normal (instead of easy), I got it first try. Maybe because the banshee isn't as sensitive?
@@kindnessence exact same for me. I failed a good 10 times on easy, holding the action button and everything. First try on normal difficulty

Move as close to the banshee as you can. Then start shooting and hold the action button at the same time
So basically a different version of AA wraith hijacking. Interesting.
I'm a little perplexed. I'm holding down the action/reload button, tapping the fire button just in case and I still am unable to get in the banshee...it just explodes.
the same happened to me. Took me 3 trials and finally suceeded. Keep holding the button and eventually it will work
Have the banshee in parallel position, then get under it with a plasma pistol and keep shooting the brute while HOLDING the action button

This strategy does not work on Easy. The Banshee blows up too quickly. Works like a charm on Normal and harder though.
Took me so many attempts before raising the difficulty. I unlocked it first time on normal :) thanks
Did it first try on normal. Thank you
Just saying recon button layout works well for this achievement. I normally play it on bumper jumper but switched it to recon and worked first try
Helps while your shooting the brute & holding your enter button to also be pressing forward while you do it
Holding forward also is what did it for me, thanks!
Dunno if there’s anything else to this cuz I have managed to get the banshee but the achievement doesn’t pop up
Make sure the banshee is as parallel to the ground as possible, not nose down. And make sure that you are getting blood spatters when you shoot the brute.
I’ve gotten the banshee twice on different difficulties and I still haven’t gotten the achievement
Storm TheThird same, I flew around for like 10 minutes
if the banshee is nose down, make sure to jump and shoot the brute in the feet. You wil clearly see the blood coming out of him. And just hold whatever button it is to get in the vehicle as you shoot him.
this worked

I got the banshee, but not the archievement... any ideas?
Did it on easy, idk if anyone mentioned this. Grab a plasma pistol. You can overcharge it and emp the banshee and it’s pretty easy to force it into a corner😊
If you are on PC and it keeps exploding, try capping fps to 60
Don't just keep trying to press the action button. Reload once but keep your fingee on the button. It's not a timing trick at all, literally hold down the action button then continue shooting

great tutorial
banshee keep exploding even when i press the rigth bumper continously... WTH?
You have to shoot the brute, as you are shooting the brute press and “HOLD” the “Action button”
@@herbherbs1890 that just makes me reload instead
If you're on PC lock your frames to 60
That did it!
Not working... tried it on normal, holding down action button, tried switching controller layout schemes. Nothing. Stupid banshee keeps blowing up. Did 343 change up what difficulty this can be done on overnight???
It helps if you use the same gun as in the video. I tried it with the plasma rifle and it didn't work
I’ve tried this place 100 fucking times
I can easily do this but the achievement doesn’t trigger, hopefully it will unlock over time..
Thanks
I tried and failed many times on Easy. Got it first try on Normal. Start at Rally Point Delta for quick start.
Delta doesn't work, rocket marine wipes them out on approach every time
Got it first try 🏆
Ghost are now 2 hit kill on easy which is kind of lame 343 changed it
Didn’t unlock
Jus do it on legendary....
Instead of playing on easy/normal, try to play on legendary with a 60 frame limit. At least thats how i got it.
First, do it on Normal difficulty. Kill the gauss turrent marine and the marine with the rockets right above him on the balcony. Once the banshee is lured, get the banshee in the right position. If the banshee is facing nose down, its going to be harder. Make sure the banshee is about as level to the ground as you can make it. Too much of an angle and it will be hard. Break the brutes shields, hold action, then shoot. Gun wont reload as long as you hold action before you start shooting.
Took 3 tries on easy and 3 tries on normal. Irritating.
If you shoot the phantoms in the eye then it does more damage.
Drop Bear ! You mean the engines... those blue things are the phantoms engines... the phantom has no eyes... it's a vehicle
planes have a nose and they are a vehicle. And besides the vehicle is based off the idea of a 'phantom' which generally has eyes genius.
Drop Bear ! The nose is the name for the tip of it. Not that it means it's an actual nose.. "Genius" the Phantom doesn't have eyes it's the engines.
@@HEXEIV Who cares, you and Nik are stupid
@@scottt1976 they both clearly do, and you do as well because you felt the need to comment lmfao
this is a hit and miss not worth the time
