What Power Outage? is one of the few Spartan Ops achievements that is actually easier to achieve in local play than in matchmaking. This is because playing local solo or co-op will spawn four [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantises]] on the map; two at the beginning and two behind the generators. When playing in matchmaking there are instead two [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|LAAG Warthogs]] and two [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss Warthogs]], which are far more vulnerable, provide less fire power and require far greater teamwork.

What Power Outage? is an achievement in Halo 4. It is awarded for completing Chapter 4, Episode 5 of Spartan Ops without losing a generator on Heroic or harder. The achievement is worth 20 Gamerpoints. It is represented by a high voltage safety symbol.[1]
