    Map: ONI: Sword Base
    Score: 25,000
    Difficulty Level: Legendary

    If your already running your Solo Legendary Run just turn scoring on. Get through the the first base area first and take out the two enemy Wrath's. You should have a warthog a this point. Have Kat as your gunner and set up the Marine with the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher can be found on the hill (rock outcropping) to the right of where the Wraiths will stay when they attack. Now just drive your warthog around. Your NPC team will do all the damage while you obtain score. You should have about 30-35 thousand by the time you have to return to Sword Base which is well above the 25k required.

    Extra info from Shadow 00 Fox‘s comments

    You can also add, at the anti-air gun reactivation during the warthog point farm, you can farm points there if you need too, considering it's easy to die in the later parts of the mission--the phantom keeps respawning and your gunner and rocket passenger can take it out in about a minute, it's worth a lot of points, 1k at least!

    Ericmax69Thanks to Shadow 00 Fox for the tip, with the skulls I had on I was getting >3K per Phantom. Also, after the second objective (I went Anti-Air then Comms) the Pelican dropped off a Gauss Warthog - I took this back through the gate, forced it over the blocks on the far left and used it to clear out all the way to the lift - it made short work of the Hunters!

    Shadow 00 FoxOne edit to my previous comment(btw, thanks for adding it so quickly!) You mustn't complete the Anti-air gun objective or I think the Phantom stops spawning....

    Also, I think I had nearly 180k points at some point with the skulls I had on, I was running Heroic with catch, famine, and a few others on. I was at a nice buffer of 10k points(78k) after the time bonus completely wore off, so I could afford to die a lot in the Halsey base area.

    ^^ Too add to Ericmax69's points, yes, I did the same thing with the Gauss Warthog! After the second objective, I took the Gauss Warthog, killed everything using my gunner on the Gauss, then parked it in the base entrance, killed all the enemies in sight with the Gauss myself, then I ran back downhill, got one of the Prowlers(?) that wasn't destroyed(it had flipped over) from in front of the base entrance, parked it in front of the cement barriers leading uphill into the base, then ran the warthog up and over the Prowler into the base, saved a LOT of time with the enemies there and the hunters.
    Then I proceeded to put the Gauss Warthog in the elevator, about the front 3/4's of it, and killed myself when I started the elevator and the warthog blew up, LOL. redfacedance I mean, that's what Halo is for, right? Experimenting what you can get away with.....

    This achievement/mission was a lot of fun!

    Catatonic NaliPerfect solution, if only all the par scores could be this fun and easy. I did this on Heroic with famine, fog and catch skulls on to give a 2.90x multiplier. Cleared out comms first then went round to anti-air and farmed the phantom until the score stopped counting at 30 minutes. Was on 42,000 points so way more than enough to see the mission out, think you'd have to die over 200 times to drop back under 25,000 from there.
    Also the tip in the comments to force the gauss warthog back over the barriers into the starting area is great. Worked best for me running up against the left hand wall to help get the wheels off the ground.
