==Tips==
Following the shutdown of [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' online services on January 13, [[2022]], this achievement is no longer attainable in online multiplayer, and therefore can only be unlocked in the campaign.{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown2|D=23|M=1|Y=2022|URL=https://www.windowscentral.com/halo-xbox-360-servers-have-been-shut-down2021|Site=Windows Central|Page=Halo Xbox 360 servers have been shut down, ending an era}}{{Ref/Site|Id=shutdown1|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sunsetting-halo-xbox-360-game-services-in-2021|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Sunsetting Halo Xbox 360 Game Services in 2021}}
*This achievement may be acquired easily in the campaign level {{Levelname|Sierra 117}}. At the river area, it is easy to kill the [[Brute]]s and [[Grunt]]s repeatedly with a Needler.
*Another good area to get this achievement is the [[Drone]] attack on {{Levelname|The Storm}}. If you kill one of the [[Drones]] holding a Needler, you can quite easily shower the remaining Drones with the projectiles.
*Another level this achievement can easily be accomplished is on {{Levelname|The Covenant}}, due to the many Needlers dropped by Grunts and Drones.
*On the level [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]], you may complete the achievement using Needlers obtained from [[Flood Combat Forms]].

*"Pink Mist" is also a phrase from the film ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarhead_%28film%29 Jarhead]'', in which it is used to describe the effects of a headshot on a sniper's target. The target's brains and blood would shoot out of the exit wound on their head, causing a pink/red mist to stay in to air for a few seconds.
