    You can do this achievement ALONE. The other solutions are correct, but you can do this all by yourself in a private match.

    Create a private match in "Rescue" on the map "Beach". Select Solarii. One level above the spot where you have to deposit your medi pack as a survivor you can find a burning tire. This fire will be used to drain your health. When you check the side where the elevator thing and the machine gun turret is you will find a zip line that goes in parallel to the two zip lines of the elevator. It is only a few meters away from the burning tire. Stand next or on top of the tire and drain your health. More and more blood will appear on your screen. When there is quite a lot, run to the zip line (hold B), jump and press X when on the line.

    On top you can exit to the right, walk back to the tire and repeat (but make sure all blood is gone). I recommend to spend too much time on the tire and die one time to see how your screen should look like close to death. According to user Bistric the character "will start holding his/her stomach in pain" when you are close to death. Thanks for the additional info.

    GrezzWow, works great! As a little bit extra, just after your character starts clutching their stomach in pain, the screen goes a bit black and white - that's when I jumped off the tires and went up the rope. Worked perfect for me.

    Thumbs up to Greedy136, his solution is dead on. But if you'd like a video to see exactly what he's talking about here is a video someone made. Hope it helps, Cheers!

    If you don't have a buddy to boost with, it's very simple in public match.

    Make sure you are playing as the Solarll faction as playing as the survivors is a total joke when it comes to ascending.

    Just simply wait at the bottom of a zip line, wait till someone wounds you, tap 'A' to jump up on to the zip line there will be a prompt when underneath the zip line.

    As soon as you grab it press 'X' and you will zip up at super speed.

    *Note, you do not need to fully ascend or heal after ascending, the third and last time I ascended I got the achievement half way while zipping up the line.

    *Another thing to add is, this does not need to be done in a 'single match' (As the achievements implies). I got 2 in one match checked the achievements progress, and it showed 2/3. Then did another match, did it once, and boom achievement popped.
