The vehicle must still have the hijacker in it; if you kill them and then board the vehicle, the achievement does not count.
An easy way to unlock this achievement is to get the [[Ghost]] on [[Snowbound (Level)|Snowbound]] and drive it into the underground section where the [[Shotgun]] spawn is. Simply wait for someone to get up to the ghost and hijack it, and since there is not much room for the hijacker to move, you can very easily hijack the ghost back without the enemy getting away. However, it is advised you stay very near the shield doors otherwise the Hijacker may use the Plasma Cannons on the Ghost to finish you off.


==Tips==
This achievement can be pretty hard for some, since a lot of people don't like to use vehicles in free for all, and most of them prefer using [[Mongoose]]s sometimes, as you are usually the one that draws all the attention. This led people to gather at the start of a match and exchange vehicles, before resuming the fight again. Also, once you get kicked out of the vehicle you seem to stall and you can't move easily making it hard to reboard the vehicle. So it is sometimes recommended you immediately deploy a Bubble Shield to increase your chances of surviving(Watch out for splatters though). On Snowbound, try to make sure you're being Hijacked very close to the Overshield spawn point as once the Overshield enters your shielding system, you will be invincible for a few seconds until the shield fully charges, and thus, the Ghost hijacker cannot kill you by splattering you or killing you with the Plasma Cannons.

However, it was advisable that players stay very near the shield doors. Otherwise, the hijacker could use the [[Class-2 directed energy cannon|twin plasma cannons]] on the Ghost to finish them off.
*This achievement could be difficult for some, since many players didn't like to use vehicles in free for all as it drew a lot of attention. This led people to gather at the start of a match and exchange vehicles, before resuming the fight again. Additionally, players hijacked out of the vehicles are momentarily stunned and have their movement limited, making it hard to re-board the vehicle. One solution was to immediately deploy a Bubble Shield to increase chances of surviving.  
*On Snowbound, being hijacked very close to the [[Overshield]] spawn point, allowing players to use pickup the Overshield which would make the player invincible for a few seconds until the shield fully charges, and thus, the Ghost hijacker could not kill them by splattering them or killing them with the Plasma Cannons. Another useful power-up was the power drain, which would prevent the other player from splattering or shoot them until they could re-hijack it.
*This multiplayer achievement was unique because it was one of the few original achievements that did not require a ranked playlist. This meant that, with a guest, players could arrange the completion of this achievement on Rumble Pit. Sometimes players would help each other get this achievement in [[Lone Wolves]] by simply letting a player hi-jack them, then the other player letting them re-hi-jack them. If a player didn't want to "cheat" to get the achievement, it could be pretty tricky.
