Fear the Pink Mist

Fear the Pink Mist is a Halo 3 Achievement. It is awarded for killing 5 enemies with a Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher, also known as the Needler, in a ranked or free-for-all match or Campaign.

It is represented by a red circle with a Type-33 GML Needler and five hearts surrounding the weapon.

The name of the achievement is a reference to the large pink explosion that occurs when needler projectiles detonate on a target.

This achievement may be acquired easily in the campaign level Sierra 117. At the river area, it is easy to kill the Brutes and Grunts repeatedly with a Needler. Another good area to get this achievement is the Yanme'e attack on The Storm. If you kill one of the Drones holding a Type-33 GML, you can quite easily shower the remaining Drones with the projectiles. Another level this achievement can easily be accomplished is on The Covenant, due to the many needlers dropped by Grunts and Drones. On the level Halo, you may complete the achievement using Needlers obtained from Flood Combat Forms.
