*Players cannot easily be killed by simply driving into them - this achievement is easier if a player's shields are down, or if you actually manage to land on them with the mongoose.

*A basic tactic for this achievement is to find a Mongoose in an open area, like on Sandtrap (only on Legendary brawl) or High Ground, and put the Mongoose at high speed at another player.
*A basic tactic for this achievement is to find a Mongoose in an open area, like on [[Sandtrap]] (only on Legendary brawl) or [[High Ground]], and put the Mongoose at high speed at another player.
*One of the easiest ways to achieve this is to play on [[Isolation]], and drive a [[Mongoose]] into the [[Shotgun]] spawn point. People taking cover there are sitting ducks. If you are lucky, some nice players will notice that you are trying to get the achievement and let you drive right into them. A secondary way is to drive at two players dueling and splatter the winner of the duel.

*A slightly more risky way of getting this Achievement is to play on [[High Ground]] and keep a close watch on the [[Ghost]]s. When someone gets in a Ghost, follow it with the Mongoose in case they are hijacked, then you can run down the temporarily stunned (and likely shieldless) opponent.

*It is important to note that the Mongoose is prone to explosives, so sometimes your splatter could be due to explosives propelling the vehicle to one spot, or your route of splattering someone could be stopped. [[Fragmentation Grenade]]s and [[Brute Shot]]s are the ones that are especially annoying. [[Rocket Launcher]]s usually destroy the Mongoose within a shot, depending how close it is.

*Remember that the Mongoose is a prime target for a [[Spartan Laser]], mainly on High Ground. It is easy for someone to backpedal and take you out before you can make contact. Thus, using the element of surprise and charging at someone caught up in a fight is a useful tactic.

*A good strategy of doing this is by going on any level with a mongoose while players are fighting and run down someone when they're distracted by the other players, especially if they are standing still in a relatively open space.
