*An easy spot to complete this achievement is near the start of [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]], after the first batch of [[Brutes]] and [[Grunts]]. Banshees occupy the airspace there, and [[John-117|Master Chief]] spawns with a [[Spartan Laser]]. You can easily shoot down a Banshee in the area that the [[Pelican]] drops a [[Mongoose]]. But it is recommended to use the method below as the small flying banshees would be hard to aim among some players. | *An easy spot to complete this achievement is near the start of [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]], after the first batch of [[Brutes]] and [[Grunts]].

*If this is still not good enough, save up your Spartan Laser ammo and fly the [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|Hornet]] (the one to transport you to the third tower) and park it on the cliff between the tower with the [[Thunderstorm Skull]] and the entry to the 3rd tower. Around the cliff area there should be an enemy Phantom and a ton of Banshees. From here, start shooting at the Banshees with your Laser. The Banshees shouldn't attack you since there are two Pelicans nearby that the Banshees will focus their fire on. If something goes wrong (like running out of ammo, all banshees destroyed, dying, etc.), you can always revert to the last checkpoint (which should be on the beach where you enter a Hornet or in mid air in the Hornet). | *If this is still not good enough, save up your Spartan Laser ammo and fly the [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|Hornet]] (the one to transport you to the third tower) and park it on the cliff between the tower with the [[Thunderstorm Skull]] and the entry to the 3rd tower.

*Another easy spot is on [[The Storm (level)|The Storm]], where the [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]] enters and there are stationary [[Missile Pod]]s. Drive your [[Mongoose]] or [[Ghost]] up to the Missile Pods as fast as possible so the Banshees aren't killed by [[Hornets]], then use the Missile Pods to shoot down the Banshees. Remember that you do not have to rip the Missile Pod off its base. If the banshees in the lake bed are destroyed, you can take the turret off the stand, then walk through the next fight with Brutes in the warehouse, use one on each of the Hunters at the end (one-hit kills, even on Legendary), and use it on the Banshees flying around the AA gun. This is simple because all they do is fly around waiting for you to kill them. | *Another easy spot is on [[The Storm (level)|The Storm]], where the [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]] enters and there are stationary [[Missile Pod]]s.

*Another way to get this achievement is to have an enemy Banshee on [[Sandtrap]] or [[Vahalla|Valhalla]], grab the Spartan Laser or a Missile Pod, As soon as the Banshee is in the open, fire about 4 rockets from the pod as soon as you get a lock-on. If it starts strafing again the missiles will destroy it. With a spartan laser, simply shoot down the banshee. If you miss and it flees,simply wait until it comes back into the open. if you are practiced with the laser, you should be able to get this achievement fairly easily.. | *Another way to get this achievement is to have an enemy Banshee on [[Sandtrap]] or [[Vahalla|Valhalla]], grab the Spartan Laser or a Missile Pod, As soon as the Banshee is in the open, fire about 4 rockets from the pod as soon as you get a lock-on.
