    This is an even more efficient way than the other solutions, allowing you to get 6-7 watcher kills in 10 seconds

    Level - Shutdown (Rally Point Bravo)
    Difficulty - Easy
    Incineration Cannon from knight before checkpoint/Binary Rifle from rack

    Simply go until the orange beam checkpoint and have the weapons stated, and watch the video. Please like and Thumb Up :)

    Henry Myth@Yeksulcm Sometimes Achievements in MCC just freeze on their progress bars. You're still getting credit towards the achievements, but you just can't see it. If you hard reset your console it fixes it and updates the bar when you relaunch the game.

    Deep Winter 7Load up Spartan Ops 10-4.

    Jump in the Mantis and clear the area until the waves of Watchers stop coming, netting approximately 25-30 kills per. When Roland instructs you to destroy the power generators, quit or restart.

    Skulls like Bandolier or Acrophobia do not hinder progress and will allow players to reach the Mantis with ease.

    Nit0rinVery good. All I did was kill the group of 3-4 with incinerator and reload right away.

    Since the addition of Spartan Ops, there's a much less boring way I have found to do this. Load up Episode 5 (Memento Mori) Chapter 1 (Spartan Miller). At the start you'll need to run tot he top where you will be greeted by 3 waves of watchers, first one solo, then 2 groups of 7.

    If you're also after these achievements:

    Halo: The Master Chief CollectionDogcatcherThe Dogcatcher achievement in Halo: The Master Chief Collection worth 38 pointsKill 1000 Crawlers.


    then continue the mission and you will swarmed by a shit tonne (no seriously, see for yourself, this is a justified usage for that phrase) of knights crawlers and watchers.

    It's also far less tedious than grinding those campaign checkpoints as there's an unlimited supply of different human weaponry scattered around to customise your killing sprees with. Enjoy!

    Assuming you want to grind this after the campaign, the best place to do it is to load up Midnight, Rally Point Bravo. You'll fight through a couple of rooms with 2-3 Watchers (the flying enemies with two circles) in each room. This is probably the best place to grind them. Take them out and keep reloading the checkpoint until you get enough.

    If you want to grind Crawler and Knight kills, the best place is a little further through the level. Go through the rooms and down a shaft. Eventually you'll go through some portals into a room with a lot of Covenant weaponry. Grab the Gravity Hammer and the Incineration Cannon and go through the portal. That next area has a bunch of Knights and Crawlers, and you can keep reloading that point, too.

    Strategy OnePeople didn't like my image of what they look like lol. I don't see why some people can't just positive vote both solutions when mine shows what they even look like. I didn't even know what a watcher was when I started this and I played Halo 4! Hah. Well at least your getting the votes.

    SashamorningI've given up trying to figure out how people vote. toast
