'''Explore the Floor''' is an [[achievement]] in ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. It is awarded for tricking or forcing a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] to fall into its demise during the sixth [[campaign]] level, ''[[Shutdown]]''. In ''Halo 4'', the achievement is worth 20 [[Gamerscore]] and is represented by a Hunter's shield.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/08/22/The-Halo-Bulletin-82212.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''The Halo Bulletin: 8.22.12'']</ref> In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', it is worth 10 Gamerscore and is represented on the Steam icon by a Hunter with lines above signifying it's falling, and an image of the map [[Wreckage]] on the Xbox art.

The achievement can be unlocked in any difficulty in ''Halo 4''. In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', it requires [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]] difficulty.

== Strategy ==
The player should have the [[Halo 4 skulls#Cowbell|Cowbell]] skull on, as it increases knockback from melee attacks and explosions. Once the player gets to the two Hunters, the player should be armed with either a [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Cannon]], [[Z-390 incineration cannon|Incineration Cannon]], or both. The Hunters should be lured closer to the player and closer to the edges of the platform, but not too close that they can kill the player with their shield bash attack, especially on Heroic or Legendary.

Now, the player should start shooting the Hunters with the Fuel Rod Cannon and Incineration Cannon. The Hunters should recoil from the blasts and come closer to the edges of the platform. If the player kills one Hunter with the Incineration Cannon, which has stronger knockback than the Fuel Rod Cannon, the Hunter that was just killed should then fall down into the abyss if it was standing close to the edge of the platform when it was killed. The achievement will still be unlocked even if the Hunter disintegrates from the Incineration Cannon's incendiary antimatter projectiles. The achievement can be made easier by activating the [[Halo 4 skulls#Cowbell|Cowbell]] skull to further increase the knockback from the explosives.

Another strategy is to turn on the [[Halo 4 skulls#Tough Luck|Tough Luck]] skull. This causes the Hunters to perform their shield bash attack more often, and the player need only dodge them each time while luring them off the platform into the abyss.
