    This one is actually pretty simple.
    Just rush through the driving section, skipping as much combat as possible. When you do have to use your weapons try and use automatic weapons to remove extra armor off enemies. Then use an accurate weapon (pistol, BR, DMR) to finish off damaged enemies. When you get to the Promethean Knights try to shoot for the glowing bits on each side of their head. Once one is shot off they will yell, exposing their face for a easy headshot.

    In addition, if you go down and are revived you can still get this achievement. If you die and you are quick enough you can pause and reload your last checkpoint (at least I was able to).

    All in all, you just want to run through as quickly as possible avoid combat where unnecessary. I hope this helps.

    EDIT: As Psyburns notes in the comments, when playing through on co-op it would seem to be a good idea to enable the IRON skull. That way if anyone died it would automatically reset you at the last checkpoint.
    Thanks Psyburns for the tip.

    Killswitch9000Try not to have to load any checkpoints as the timer keeps going. Turn on score attack to have a running timer

    The SharkopathCan confirm the Iron skull helps to achieve this.

    MustardJoker65Just to let everyone know, the AI teammates can die. At one point all 3 of my teammates were dead. Just as long as you don't have any deaths and meet the difficulty and time requirements.

    Here is the easiest way I did it. In the video it shows taking the warthog all the way to the elevator. However, if you command a squad member to get in the warthog before you hit the elevator command it will stay for the duration of the mission. Super easy.

    Imperial Beaversuper helpful, I was able to get Savior on the same run using the warthog technique. You just have it give the miners a few seconds to get through the door before you progress as first time they all got stuck on the wrong side. This level caused me hell on first playthrough, couldn't believe how easy it was after a legendary playthrough!

    Here's a visual guide where I can confirm the great pointers in the other solutions. Reloading checkpoints even if you die works. Heroic really isn't nearly as bad as Legendary. Skip through everything except the battle at the elevator and the gate before. Good luck.
