I Thrust at Thee is a Halo 4 achievement added with the Majestic Map Pack. It was unlocked when a player, in Majestic DLC matchmaking, performed a melee kill right after using the Thruster Pack.[1]

Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.[2][3]

TipsEdit

Perhaps the easiest way to earn the achievement was to play the Flood gametype. Although the Flood's melee appendage functions nearly identically to the Energy Sword, Flood kills award a Melee medal rather than a Sword Kill medal, and therefore would unlock the achievement. Additionally, the thruster pack is one of the default Flood loadouts in the gametype. Perhaps the most difficult part was simply having a Majestic map selected in matchmaking, which would require all players to have downloaded the Majestic Map Pack.

TriviaEdit

The achievement's name is play on a quote from the novel Moby-Dick. After stabbing his nemesis, the eponymous whale, with a harpoon, Captain Ahab yells, "...from hell's heart, I stab at thee!" He is then dragged underwater by the whale and drowns with it. The first part of the quote was referenced in the Halo: Reach achievement From Hell's Heart.
