'''Vidmaster Achievement: Endure''' is an achievement in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]].'' It is part of the [[Vidmaster Challenges]]. It is unlocked when you play on [[Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight]], on any map, and pass the 4th set (the 12th round and 60th wave) on 4 player [[Heroic]] co-op Live.

It is worth 25 [[Gamerscore]]. In [[Series 3: Recon|Series 3]] of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', Endure returned as a [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|Seasonal Challenge]] with the same requirements, unlocking the helmetless bug-splattered [[Edward Buck|Buck]] and injured [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]] [[Armor permutations (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight characters]]. Following the release Floodfight in MCC ''Halo 3: ODST'' Firefight a similar Challenge, known as Gravetender, was added for accomplishing the same feat in Floodfight. | ||

* Try using the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|Silenced SMG]] against [[Yanme'e|Drone]]s, not the Automag, as the Automag is too hard to aim at Drones. Whereas the Suppressed SMG has auto-fire and its bullets spray outwards, making it easier to hit them. Added to the fact that Drones will usually die after 2-3 shots from an SMG, you could probably take out an entire swarm with around a single magazine. | * Try using the [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|Silenced SMG]] against [[Yanme'e|Drone]]s, not the Automag, as the Automag is too hard to aim at Drones.

* Almost every round works the same; the first wave will be Grunts and Jackals, the second one will also be Grunts and Jackals and some Brutes, the third wave will either be Drones or [[Hunter]]s plus some Brutes.

*When the Chieftains begin to arrive, attack them with charged [[Plasma Pistol]] shots, as this will disable their Power Armor. Then all it will take is a few Pistol shots to their heads, and they're down. You could also try to [[Beat Down Medal|assassinate]] them too, as this will allow to you to hold on to your ammunition, and take them down easier. If it is a War Chieftain, run to it, try to avoid its shots, and simply get behind it and assassinate it. If it is a Hammer wielding Chieftain, let it charge at you, then strafe around it when it goes to slam the Gravity Hammer into the ground, and take it out. This will benefit towards obtaining more lives and more points. Note that, when it's hit several times, it will activate [[Invincibility]], though it can still be assassinated even if it's Invincibility is activated. | *When the Chieftains begin to arrive, attack them with charged [[Plasma Pistol]] shots, as this will disable their Power Armor.

*A good tactic is to have two people in the base; one with the [[Spartan Laser]] to deal with the Wraiths and two people in the Warthog. Try to jack and/or kill the drivers of two Choppers and get into them, because once the second set rolls around and Tilt is activated, the Warthog turret becomes harder to use, and having two people in Choppers helps to splatter Hunters and Chieftains, but be wary of the rocks and obstacles that dot the terrain. | *A good tactic is to have two people in the base; one with the [[Spartan Laser]] to deal with the Wraiths and two people in the Warthog.

They will throw a plenitude of [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb]]s, and players who don't keep moving will quickly find themselves incinerated. If you do choose to go out on your own, be sure to keep your VISR mode on. This will allow you to see the Stalkers much easier with an outline of their form. Bear in mind that Stalkers also carry Flares, however, which can make it much more difficult to see them. Should you catch sight of a cloaked Stalker, open fire immediately to disrupt their cloaking and give away their position to other players, as well as warning everybody that there are Stalkers. | ||
* At the last wave, be careful when facing the Brute Chieftains. The Fuel Rod Gun is especially lethal, and the Gravity Hammer can cause damage through walls and other obstacles. Players should try to focus on one Chieftain to start, take his weapon, and use it to kill the remaining brutes. | * At the last wave, be careful when facing the Brute Chieftains.
