    I nearly got this achievement but somebody got a showstopper on me which is very annoying because not many people use the shield. I recommend using the support upgrade "stealth" which comes with the wetwork specialization. What this does is it speeds up all assassinations so there is less chance of somebody getting a showstopper on you.

    I know this isn't much of a guide, but unless you're boosting you'll have to rely on luck and a few things like stealth to give you that slight advantage.

    Solario32As of 2/19/15, playing just one or two Castle maps will automatically pop all of the Castle DLC achievements.

    NahzarioDown to get all the dlc achievements before servers shut down. I have 2 other controllers to help fill the lobby and will help others with their achievements too. Message me on Xbox so we can coordinate a time. GT: Nahzario

    The achievement description is about as obvious as it gets. You need to find someone who happens to be using the Hardlight Shield and assassinate them while they are using it. If going for this without boosting it will take some time since the hardlight doesn't seem to be all that common. So happy hunting.

    If you do happen to be boosting, make sure at least someone on each team picks the hardlight shield in their loadouts. The more that have it the faster it will be. Once equipped this person will need to activate it. While still activated another (needing the achievement) will need to assassinate them.

    CRAZYCal2YaSince this achievement requires so much luck, some nights I just pick the hardlight shield and give away free achievements. It might make some people who "earned" the achievement mad, but this achievement is just a very lame way for 343 to get people to use unpopular loadout options.

    After many long boosting sessions, I was finally able to unlock the DLC map pack achievements. Thanks to the servers’ instability, these achievements took a very long time, as I dealt with my connection dropping multiple times – sometimes after a few games, after one game, after simply searching for a game, or even after just entering War Games. They are absolutely TERRIBLE, by far one of the hardest achievements for me to acquire simply because of dropout. And the sad thing is that, as has been mentioned on the site here many times, you only need to complete one or two games in each map pack for ALL of the map pack's achievements to pop! Because of this server difficulty, and because I haven’t seen too much info regarding what maps are in each playlist, I thought I would share some of my experiences with you all.

    - First thing I’d recommend is DON’T WAIT! The servers are supposed to shut down sometime after December 18, 2021, but don’t let that fool you. Stable games are tough to obtain here, so don’t wait until the last minute to do these. There are many good people on this fine site who are looking to get these achievements too. Join or create some sessions!

    - Secondly make sure you all are on the same generation of hardware. Xbox 360 and Xbox One/Series X/S systems don’t talk to each too well and result in a LOT of disconnects. Coordinate this before you play.

    - Also any extra controllers that you can use as guests come in very handy. As has been said here and also determined from the people I’ve had sessions with, the fewer systems accessing the servers the better, and could add to overall stability. Whatever amount of boosting partners you have in your sessions make sure the controller combinations you and your friends are using add up to the minimum required number. Don’t have extras as that will cause problems matchmaking. Plus you minimize the chances of random players happening upon your sessions!

    - Using the chat feature on the Xbox app is a good substitute for a headset and may also contribute to stability.

    - Also I haven’t noticed region affecting this much, so friends from different parts of the world playing together should be ok.

    Since the DLC playlists are gone I had to find the playlists during my sessions. Here’s what I recommend:

    >Crimson DLC Pack (Harvest, Shatter, Wreckage): Capture the Flag (minimum 8 people). I was able to get a Crimson map rather quickly.

    >Majestic DLC Pack (Landfall, Monolith, Skyline): Team Doubles (minimum 4 people). The Skyline map came up for me rather often. I also saw Majestic maps in Capture the Flag and Team Objective regularly.

    >Castle DLC Packs (Daybreak, Outcast Perdition): I was able to get this on Team Objective (minimum 8 people).

    I can’t stress enough how difficult the servers are for this game, so if you want to get these achievements I’d recommend joining or creating sessions as soon as you can. I can also help you boost if I’m able to. Just drop me a message! And if you happen to disagree with anything I’m saying here, before slamming that downvote button, reach out to me and tell me why. If it’s something I can add to it I will. Good luck out there!
