You Blew It Up!

Halo: Reach

You Blew It Up! is an achievement for Halo: Reach multiplayer matchmaking added with the Noble Map Pack. The achievement was earned by destroying a research facility in a game of Invasion on Breakpoint. It is represented by an exploding bunker.^[1]

Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.^[2]^[3]

Trivia[edit]

The title appears to be a reference to the film The Planet of the Apes. Upon discovering the ruins of the Statue of Liberty, Charlton Heston's character exclaims "You maniacs! You blew it up!"
The most likely reason for the achievement's unusual gamerscore value is allow the player to have a round number after getting You Ate All the Chips, which gives the player 42 gamerscore.
Players did not have to arm the bomb themselves, just be near the bomb as it detonated.
