==Strategies and Tips== | |||
*The easiest level to do this on would be [[Uplift Reserve]] as you can just speed through most of it on a [[Type-32 Ghost]]. When you begin the level, get into the [[Warthog]]. Drive past the [[Type-26 Wraith]], Ghost, [[Type-25 Chopper]] and second Wraith, and pick up the Ghost (which you CAN boost) and replenish your health immediately after the second wraith. Drive your Ghost until the green-ish pond. Boost up the rocks on the opposite side of the pond to skip the three [[Shade Turret]]s and turn right and continue the mission. When you get to the next two turrets, just boost into them to break them and then just boost on to the end of the mission. | |||

You must skip fights whenever you can and focus on your achievement. Do NOT engage any enemy unless really necessary. | ||

*A more methodical approach is to grab a Warthog and give the passenger in the gunner seat your [[Spartan Laser]]. Even if you do not see an enemy, listen for the laser to charge and let your marines kill all that they can from a safe distance. After every checkpoint, attempt to speed to the next one. If you cannot make it, let your marines do more damage before moving on. | *A more methodical approach is to grab a Warthog and give the passenger in the gunner seat your [[Spartan Laser]].

*The Chopper can be used in place of the Ghost, it may be easier this way as you can splatter Shade turrets and vehicles, except for the Wraith which you can simply board and melee until it explodes. | |||

*Another strategy is to make your way to the rock wall after you emerge from the beach, continue on this wall into you reach the path to the second wraith. A Chopper will drive and back up near this entrance which makes it an easy target for hijacking. Proceed past the second wraith and pick up the Ghost. | *Another strategy is to make your way to the rock wall after you emerge from the beach, continue on this wall into you reach the path to the second wraith.

*This | *This Achievement is much like the [[Be Like Marty]] achievement, as the player is required to use what would be considered a "pacifist" strategy to gain both achievements. Both also include the "peace" sign in the representation of the achievements. | ||
