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.

*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.
If you want to get three achievements in one game is to get an [[Overkill]] with the [[Energy Sword]]. This will get you the [[Triple Kill (Achievement)]], Steppin' Razor, and [[Overkill (Achievement)]].
