    Worms don't surf. Sounds so simple, doesn't it? Let two stupid hunters leap off the ledge. Well you couldn't be wronger.

    Thanks to 343 tinkering with the AI, the formerly most powerful infantry in the Halo universe now RUN AWAY from you when you're attacking them. Maybe they're afraid you'll do what you did in halo 4? Maybe they didn't really like exploring the floor, maybe they simply just don't like the water.

    Anyway, you're stuck. The AI retreat and you really want this achievement. Maybe you have a buddy with you but you're grinding away only ever able to get one down.

    Well, I have a solution for you. Tough Luck Skull.

    I'm not kidding here folks. TL makes the enemy refuse to retreat in combat, your Hunters will have no cooldown on their melee swipes and will charge at you like the good ol' days of yonder past.

    Put it on, come near a hunter and lure him to the edge, either with your buddy or just use your hover near the edge of a ramp so the hunters will lunge off the edge while you're jetting. You'll find the hunters happily suiciding within the first move or two.

    Shouldn't take you more than 10-15 minutes using any of the previous methods as long as tough luck is on. Just remember to make sure to save your last checkpoint before you begin in case your AI decide to ignore instructions and attack the Hunters too. Good luck and Happy hunting.

    SuperlonghurstReally struggling with this, even with tough luck on they still retreat too much. Best I can do is get one to drop after what feels like 20 attempts. Add to that I constantly have to order away the AI team because they interfere. I’ve tried killing them but they respawn in no time at all only for them to then kill the second hunter 😡.

    This is hands down the most irritating achievement I’ve ever come across on Xbox.

    Edit I literally managed to do this on the first attempt after this whinge post.

    KeyBump27I managed to get this on my first try. Tough Luck skull on, just rush the hunters head on (but do not shoot them) and "B" (jet pack) to the side (analog stick to the left or right) to get out of the way of the hunter's attack. Once you have this method down, simply guide them to the edge of the platform and then slide out of the way and watch them fall.

    Mission 12 - Battle of Sunaion
    Difficulty: Easy

    Nearing the end of the level you will encounter 2 hunters and you will need to knock them off the map by having them swing at you (and miss) or hitting them with a spartan blast as they are very close to the edge. If you are playing solo, make sure that you order your teammates out of the area so that they don't shoot the hunters, but close enough that they can revive you just in case you're downed. Once near the hunters, run onto one of the side platforms to draw them closer to you and the edge of the large platform that they spawned on. Once one of them is close to the edge, drop down in between him and the edge and make him swing at you. Make sure you dash forward so that you don't get pushed off! If he is still on the map, quickly sprint and spartan charge him in order to stun him, and then position yourself in between him and the edge again until you're able to get him to fall off. After the first hutner dies, the 2nd will enrage and be invulnerable to spartan charge stuns. For this one, run back to where you came from and order you AI to push even further back. You are trying to draw the 2nd hunter to the frontside of the platform, and when it is close to the edge, quickly run forward and make him swing at you near the edge. If he misses, run back, refresh and try again. The melee recharge rate of the 2nd hunter is much longer than normally. When they both fall off, the achievement unlocks. If you die or one of the hunters dies, quickly reload the checkpoint.

    JordanTheBigBoyYea my bad. His unlocked the day after. I probably should have waited before looking for help.

    Minor Spoilers, but of course I hope you expect that going for these achievements.

    Belly EllyI found out that the hunters are easier to lure if you shoot them every once in a while on their big shield. I did on easy solo and I got the 2nd hunter to fall by standing on the very edge and let the hunter run into me. We both fell and achievement unlocked.

    Belly EllyForgot to say that after the first hunter fell, I back tracked as far as possible to milk a checkpoint but didn't get any. I only tried this once though.

    DeviSlatorThe hover technique was golden. Spent 2 hours trying this and then got it second time with the hover
