I easily got this by equipping, the AR and sidekick going into the mission putting it on easy and not equipping the banana skull, which really isn't a problem given the fact that a couple kills with each weapon will guarantee the achievement.
For what it's worth, I think the trick to getting the plasma gun to spawn is to clear out the enemies in the room shown at 4:05 and the jackals just after too. You should then get a checkpoint or two and that was the run that actually had the plasma gun spawn.
For anyone who cares, I got this with bandana, IWHBYD & grunt birthday party skulls on. (On legendary difficulty.). You don't need to turn them off, though it is Halo so it might help if it's being glitchy
Great guide! I was thinking this had to be done on co-op since it got released with all of the co-op updates but it looks like you can do it solo on easy. Pretty cool! 😊🏅
Ok, I might be late to the party but, whoever is having problems with this, hope this helps: - Skulls, other than bandana (I can't confirm, but have a theory), and difficulty don't affect the achievement directly or the turret spawn. - Restart from the pause menu seems it was less likely that the turret spawns, I recommend select other mission and return. - Try not to speedrun it so fast before the turret (just once this didn't work but I might've skipped the jackals and the other room). I think it needs to load, sometimes it won't spawn the grunt and others nothing at all. - For the achievement, I recommend killing more than one enemy per weapon, even killing again enemies with the UNCS weapons on the second floor. Also, my guess about the achievement is that you need to kill enemies with the weapons inside the level as you progress. So killing with external weapons/grenades might affect it as you will spawn with them when you shouldn't have it (bandana skull/FOB). It took me more than what I expected, so frustrating to be so close yet nothing and tried variations. Hope this helps someone in the future.
I followed your guide, but I got the Battle Rifle and Hydra from one of the FOB locations before starting the Banished Ship mission [No Skulls on] and I got the achievement right after I used the Ravager to get my last kill. Thanx for the guides as always 🫡
i know this is a really old tutorial and all but regaurdless of what difficulty or what skulls i have on the plasma turret won't spawn for me. i tried to bring one in by replaying the mission but to no avail
What’s worked for me to get the plasma cannon spawn is dying at the elevator where the two brutes come out. Let them kill ya, stand by a coil or whatever. For whatever reason, dying once seems to give me the proper load. I played on easy, with IWBYD & Birthday Party skull on.
Finally popped after a few attempts. Success on Easy; equipping default MK50 Sidekick & MA40 AR from FOB. “Replayed” mission. Made sure I got at least 2-3 kills per weapon just to make sure. NOTE: I had Bandana SKULL on as well, but made sure to grab grenades from level before using them out of caution. I think they failed previously due to me having the CANON, although it wasn’t used. I was just focusing on one weapon at a time. Once the Plasma canon didn’t spawn, but only once. However, I got burned on the Headmaster Achievement. Will revisit them one by one until it pops.
Plasma Cannon only spawned for me on Heroic difficulty. Even then the achievement didn’t pop. Will continue to fiddle. Update: cannon doesn’t always spawn on Heroic. I got it to spawn using the Bandana Skull once. Update: got cannon to spawn on easy using grunt bday and rare dialogue skull. I replayed the mission; I did not start a new game. Followed this guide and the achievement popped. Good luck.
I did about 20 full run attempts at this on solo varying skulls or not, fresh save or replay, multiple kills etc and no luck then got it second try on co op so may be worth trying that if it’s not unlocking for you. I got a kill with all the weapons and grenades personally and it unlocked for me, my first try I fell off the map near the end, it wouldn’t respawn me and my co op guy got the hydra kills and it didn’t pop. Hope this helps someone. Also my successful run was on easy with only bandana skull
Just got the achievement. Will describe what i did in detail below: New game No pause No death Bandana and IWHBYD skulls on. Make sure you shoot grunts in the legs and get your grenade kills on brutes because I believe if the grunts gas tank explodes on its back it doesn't count as a weapon/grenade kill. Spawn. Kill 2 grunts with leg shots with pistol and next two with AR leg shots. Grab shotgun and BR from spawn room go to next room and kill two grunts with leg shots from both. Swap out both guns for Plasma Pistol and Mauler here. Kill charging brute with plasma stick. Go through next room and kill two gunts with overcharge plasma pistol and two with normal plasma pistol. Again leg shots. Go back one room and drop pistol for needler. Kill last grunt with slow needler shots(dont let him explode just tap a couple then watch his body for the shards to disappear and tap a couple more.) Next room kill brute with the needler explosion by dumping the clip. Get a frag grenade kill here off a brute and a a stick grenade kill with the spike grenades off another brute. Continue and drop needler for pulse rifle. Kill two jackels with pulse rifle. Kill two with mangler. Throw plasma coil at the two brutes that walk out of the elevator. Once in frag grenade hallway throw spike grenades and plasma grenades but dont stick anyone. Go for AOE kills. At the end of the hallway grab the 2nd shotgun in the level and use it for two kills in the next room(where you get spike grenades if you didnt have bandana on.) Get a grapple kill and normal punch kill in this room as well. Now grab the fusion coil and throw it at the group of jackels in the next room but do it from as far back as possible(plasma turret is coming up and we want to walk slowly through this hallway and the next room to give it time to spawn) After slowly making my way through the next area and getting the plasma turret to spawn i did not get a mounted turret kill. I ripped it off and only got a couple unmounted kills. Proceed to get the ravenger and get a kill both charged and uncharged with it. Proceed and grab the Hydra and get a non locked on kill on the brute in the same room being careful not to shoot a coil or grunt in the room to negate the actual hydra kill. Achievement popped on the brute dying. Good luck guys!
This is the only solo achievement i don't have. It simply won't pop up even though I've done it in various ways like 10 times (Edit) popped after I got kills with the br and bulldog at the beginning and with the bulldog and br that spawn later in the level. Also got multiple kills with every weapon. Don't know if it was coincidence or if that had anything to do with it
I had issues with this as well like lots of others. I tried it multiple ways last night on all of the posts that I read on the issue. I used Bandana and Grunt Birthday Skulls but today I also turned on IWHBYD. Someone said that they tested this and Plasma canon was always there and I didn't test multiple times like them but it was there on the first go so idk. I also used the second bulldog Blue/Orange Coils Shock Grenades I don't know if I was just lucky or what but it popped up immediately today.
Holy balls! The Hydra is still in the first level and I thought they removed it. Used to be right at the end by the dead Brute and you could only get it with the grapple.
Yeah this is very, very glitchy. I've done this multiple times and never got it to pop. I've made sure to get TWO kills minimum per weapon just in case. Do the fusion coils count? I've been doing those too but can never manage to get a kill with the big blue one?
I’m having trouble with this unlocking as well. Recommend to everyone to also include at least 1 melee kill. I also include throwing a fusion coil of each type on my runs. Can’t confirm if this makes a difference.
Try turning on the grunt birthday party skull and the IWHBYD skull. Set the difficulty on easy then the plasma turret will spawn. If no then keep replaying
Tried this four or five times, the first few times the plasma cannon didn't spawn, the last time it finally did. The only thing I did differently last time was to let all the cut scenes at the start of the mission play out, without skipping anything. Don't know if that's what made the difference, but that's what happened. The sting in the tail is that when I grabbed the cannon I'd already killed all the enemies in that room, so I moved to the next one ... Where as soon as I walked through the door a cutscene triggered and the plasma cannon vanished from my hands! F*&%!!! So I still don't have the achievement.
I’ve replayed this mission a few times, got kills with each weapon and grenade that’s obtainable, and still haven’t gotten the achievement. I’m playing it on Normal Difficulty with Bandana (On and Off) and I (Dialogue Skull) on. Am I doing something wrong? While I do start the game with previous weapons, I do swap them for the AR and Sidekick and get kills with those. Should I start the mission with the AR and Sidekick instead?
Had to restart because I forgot the plasma turret. Then had the Hydra left but had to restart because my game froze. THEN realized it wasn’t my game… it was my tv. 🙄🙄🙄
My experience just now.. plasma cannon spawn: What’s worked for me to get the plasma cannon spawn is dying at the elevator where the two brutes come out. Let them kill ya, stand by a coil or whatever. For whatever reason, dying once seems to give me the proper load. However, the achievement did not pop for me. This is the 2nd time. I may go thru and try to get 3 kills a gun. I played on easy, with IWBYD & Birthday Party skull on.
A note to everyone: pick up an AR and Sidekick from a FOB before entering this mission, as it carries over your weapons.
There are ARs and Sidekicks all over in the 1st room anyway
Man, I was wondering what I missed, I had no idea there was a hydra on this level.

Plasma Canon isn't spawning for me :
Same
@fredpowermtb I guess you just have to keep reloading and hoping it spawns. Eventually it did to me. Good luck 👍
@@carlosrojas9174 that’s that plan, thanks man

Blue/Orange Coils
Shock Grenades
I don't know if I was just lucky or what but it popped up immediately today.
I done this on easy with bandana skull on, it doesn't mess the achievement.
It doesn't necessarily mess with the achievement but it has been for a lot of people.

Mission replay seemed to mess this achievement up for me, it's seems you don't get it. So I recommend just starting a new game
Just tried but it didn't work maybe you're right
I got it, thanks!
There is no plasma cannon for me. Is simply wasn’t there
I re did it a couple times and when it wasn’t there I restarted. The 4th time it spawned! Achievement get!!!
Same restarting to fix hopefully
I played on a new game file and got the turret but the achievement didn't pop
I didn't get it first time because I forgot the plasma cannon 😭

Make sure you get a kill with both modes of the hydra
I also had issues then started a fresh save to do this and that worked first time.

just did all of this and the achievement didnt pop...wtf
I did this with bandana skull activate
I just did this replaying the mission grabbing everyone and I didn't find and what you listed I still couldn't get the achievement
Just happened to me twice now. Achievement won’t pop
No idea why this isnt unlocking for me
Update: don't have any skulls on. Not even IWHBYD
Tried multiple times. Never got it to activate.
Yeah
Had to restart because I forgot the plasma turret. Then had the Hydra left but had to restart because my game froze. THEN realized it wasn’t my game… it was my tv. 🙄🙄🙄
I did it with bandana on
Just did it 4 times and followed your guide, 2 on replay and 2 by starting a new campaign and its not popping for me
Same! @GorrieByte any update bro?
@TheWellerFella nope, still havnt been able to. Gonna try it on coop and see if that works.
Its 343 of course the achievement is bugged lol
didn't work for me

When I heard they were adding more achievements to Halo Infinite I got excited. Not to play this awful game, but to see more guides from you!
the campaign isnt awful
Is there anyone who wants a Co op buddy? 👀
I need one my gt is mjccambranis
