'''Steppin' Razor''' is an [[Achievements (Halo 3)|achievement]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''. It was awarded for scoring a [[Triple Kill]] with the [[Energy Sword]] in a ranked free for all playlist.


Following the shutdown of [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' online services on January 13, [[2022]], this achievement is no longer attainable.{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown2|D=23|M=1|Y=2022|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/halo-xbox-360-servers-have-been-shut-down2021|Site=Windows Central|Page=Halo Xbox 360 servers have been shut down, ending an era}}{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown1|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sunsetting-halo-xbox-360-game-services-in-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sunsetting Halo Xbox 360 Game Services in 2021}}
'''Steppin' Razor''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[Multiplayer]] [[Achievement]]. It is awarded for scoring a [[Triple Kill]] with the [[Energy Sword]] in a ranked free for all [[playlist]]. Unlocking this Achievement will give you the Ascetic Head piece for the Elite [[Armor Permutations|Armor Permutation]].


It is represented by a white circle with a red star on it. On top of this are three skulls and an energy sword.


==Rewards==
A possible method to get this achievement is to get a sword on [[Crazy King]], [[The Pit (Level)|The Pit]], and wait until two or more players are on the hill, lunge, kill them both and kill any other players entering the hill. Another possible technique is to stay at the top of the purple lifts in [[Construct]]. If the sword runs out of energy you may still beat opponents with the hilt to earn the achievement. Another way of getting this is play a slayer game with your friends ask them to line up in a straight line and to stand as close to each other as they can and then quickly cut them down in 4 secends it worked for me
Unlocking this achievement will reward the player with the following;
*{{Gamerscore|5}}
*[[Ascetic harness|Ascetic]] helmet [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|permutation]] for use by [[Sangheili|Elite]] characters.


==Tips==
Another way to get this achievement is to play "[[Swords]]" on a relatively small map, such as [[The Pit]] or [[Guardian]], since there is a greater chance that more people will be around the same area, aiding the difficulty of the 4 second time limit between each kill. You might want to melee with the '''B''' button, rather than lunging, because this will allow you to kill opponents faster. Many players in matchmaking don't bother to melee with the sword, instead they just lunge. This means that their attack is slower and more useless. This is also a great way to get Overkill.

* A great way to get it was in the playlist Living Dead on Halloween weekend. The playlist was ranked, and technically free-for-all, and zombies spawned with swords.

*Players could unlock three achievements in one game by earning an Overkill with the [[Energy Sword]]. This will would grant the [[Triple Kill (Halo 3 achievement)|Triple Kill]], Steppin' Razor, and Overkill which would unlock all the Ascetic and Commando pieces.
