In order to help gamers unlock the achievement, Bungie created the [[7 on the 7th]] playlist on the seventh of every month, where each player has zero experience in the playlist. Another easy way to attain this achievement is to earn 7 experience in before the seventh of the month, so as to avoid crowds and such on the day. Log in on the seventh, and get it without much hassle. Do this in either a playlist you don't frequent, or stop playing that playlist altogether. If you happen to have 7 experience, all you would have to do is enter the Matchmaking lobby. You don't have to go and search for another game if you already have 7 EXP. It is also possible to enter a double exp weekend playlist and quit out (resulting in a -1 to exp) making it even easier to get.

Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 is an achievement released with Title Update 2, which was unlocked by entering into a ranked or social playlist with 7 EXP on the 7th day of any month.[2] This didn't mean the player had to start off with 6 in total and advance to 7. Instead, all they had to do was gain 7 points within that day. Example: If you have 100 points in total, make it to 107. The achievement's sign is the Marathon symbol and the number 7.

Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.[3][4]

This Vidmaster achievement did not award any gamerscore points. Prior to March 31, 2012 unlocking all Vidmaster Challenge achievements unlocked the Recon Armor; after this date, the armor is unlocked by default.

In order to help gamers unlock the achievement, Bungie created the 7 on the 7th playlist on the seventh of every month, where each player had zero experience in the playlist.

Trivia[edit]

  • Everything about this achievement is a 7 reference.
  • The medal's background picture is the Marathon symbol.
