One way to get this achievement is to grab the Spartan Laser on [[Snowbound]] under the first base, head towards the back of the cavern which is the main "Arena" that everyone usually flocks to and make sure only the muzzle is sticking out of the energy door shield. Since more than likely all the players will be here and usually only take the tunnel entrances, they'll be too busy fighting each other to notice you charging up your laser from the posterior of the cavern.
One way to get this achievement was to use the [[Spartan Laser]] on [[King of the Hill]] gametypes, where everyone would be grouped inside the hill and not able to pay attention to a laser charging up in the background.

Another way to get this achievement is to also use the [[Spartan Laser]] on [[King of the Hill]] gametypes, where everyone will be grouped inside the hill and not able to pay attention to a Laser charging up in the background.
Another way was to have the [[Spartan Laser]] on maps that contain {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s, and all the player would need to do is charge the laser and wait for someone to [[Naval boarding|board]] the Ghost. Using the Laser to destroy the Ghost would result in the driver and the boarder being "Lasered".


===Method 3===
===Method 3===
One more way is plain and simple and is to have the [[Spartan Laser]] on maps that contain [[Ghost]]s, and all you would need to do is charge the laser and get the right moment for when someone [[Boarding|board]]s the [[Ghost]], using the Laser to destroy the [[Ghost]] will result in the driver and the boarder being "Lasered".
Some players were able to find other players who would help them boost the achievement.

And of course another way is, to ask somebody to help you with the achievement during a match. Simple (then again, potential interference from the players who are not there to help you can still make it not so simple)!
In the [[Double EXP Weekend]] playlist [[Legendary Brawl]], occasionally there would be two players on a [[Warthog]], which granted players an opportunity to earn the achievement.

This method would only work on [[Avalanche (level)|Avalanche]], [[Standoff]] and [[Rat's Nest]], as [[Ghost Town]] did not have a Warthog (but it has several Mongooses) and the [[Sandtrap]] variant in the playlist was "FFA Modified" and did not qualify.
Sometimes, this achievement is scored by randomized luck and fortune when you try to kill one person and another comes in the way of the other for a close-combat duel. Of course, this is dependent on nothing, but a straight-shot from the Spartan Laser and a great deal of luck.
There are also many players in the Legendary Brawl playlist that help each other get this achievement.

5 Gamerscore icon taken from Xbox.com. Originally a single block colour (with the two circles both being white and the 'G' a transparent cutout), but modified by myself to display nicely on dark *and* light themes, and to be reminiscent of the pre-Xbox One gamerscore icon.

Two for One is a Halo 3 multiplayer achievement. It was awarded for killing two enemies with one Spartan Laser shot in a ranked free for all playlist (i.e. Lone Wolves). The achievement awarded the player 5 Gamerscore.

It is represented by a white circle with a red star. On top, two skulls and a Spartan Laser silhouette.

Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.[1][2]

Walkthrough[edit]

Method 1[edit]

One way to get this achievement was to use the Spartan Laser on King of the Hill gametypes, where everyone would be grouped inside the hill and not able to pay attention to a laser charging up in the background.

Method 2[edit]

Another way was to have the Spartan Laser on maps that contain Karo'etba-pattern Ghosts, and all the player would need to do is charge the laser and wait for someone to board the Ghost. Using the Laser to destroy the Ghost would result in the driver and the boarder being "Lasered".

Method 3[edit]

Some players were able to find other players who would help them boost the achievement.

Method 4[edit]

In the Double EXP Weekend playlist Legendary Brawl, occasionally there would be two players on a Warthog, which granted players an opportunity to earn the achievement.

This method would only work on Avalanche, Standoff and Rat's Nest, as Ghost Town did not have a Warthog (but it has several Mongooses) and the Sandtrap variant in the playlist was "FFA Modified" and did not qualify.

Trivia[edit]

  • It was not necessary for the laser itself to travel through both of enemies, just that the single shot killed two people.
  • Due to the difficulty of getting this achievement, many players refer it as one of the most difficult achievements to obtain among the original 40 achievements.
