Got this on my 4th or 5th try. This achievement is no joke. I had a few close calls during my run, one of them having my shields pop at 146,000 points. My tips: - Do not become complacent and think “you’ve got this.” Stay vigilant. - If you’re surrounded, and *especially* if your shields go below half, just. keep. meleeing. Your shields are gonna keep staying charged - Save your sprint for the concussion elites and rush them. Let the sword elites come to you - I found success in between the two starting buildings. Enough elites spawn to keep things moving, but not too many to overwhelm. Got this in 42 min 57 sec Good luck Spartans, and GG’s to anyone who gets this achievement
Okay i just want to say thank you so much i got it done in 1 hour 11 minutes with 631 elites killed and only my second attempt i dont know how else to to show my appreciation so just... thank you
This guide is really really interesting and I’m looking forward to trying it out because I do consider myself to be a good reach player but I’m not good enough to get this done without some help so thank you kindly
I ended up using the drop shield to help zone the elites while hacking away with energy swords every time they dropped one. With Sprint I kept getting swarmed, but eventually I found a little perch underneath where are you spawn where only a few elites can come at you at once and there’s cover you can run to if you need to. Took me at least a dozen tries but I eventually got it
On my third attempt, I got halfway at the 30 minute mark then I screwed up. Reason being was because I didn't use that hillock behind the pipes. The Black Eye Skull is kind of a luxury than a difficulty changer. Reason being that enemies come closer to you and you just need to melee them in the back. The Black Eye Skull will easily give you all your armor back if you kill one and recharge if a successful melee.
I Got it on my fourth attempt. Don't underestimate how long an hour to an hour and a half can be. Get a drink and a snack. You can't pause the game in co-op and even i single player, a pause can either help with mental fatige or break your flow. I personally preferred the drop shield over sprint. it is easy to side step enemies coming in and it protects again grenade chain reaction. it felt easier to me, however, it almost double the time length of the achievement.
Okay last time I’ll comment here so I don’t be a bother if you have the cowbell skull on I would recommend picking up a concussion rifle and using that to detonate and launch grenades on the ground away from you so you don’t accidentally get caught in the explosion it worked for me just keep destroying the grenades if to many are on the ground
Abuse the black eye skull, pick anywhere you want but try to stick to that area to avoid a bunch of elites spawning and overwhelming you. Go for back strikes and you’ll constantly be at full shields the whole run. If you can manage to get frequent back strikes, health won’t really be an issue.
So far I’ve seen two similar strategies for (reliably) completing OFF. One being trickstabbing as seen here, the other involving hacking through everything with energy swords. Both take advantage of Black Eye and easy difficulty to properly achieve near constant shield regeneration. That said… I wonder if it’s even possible to get this achievement on legendary? You wouldn’t get anything extra for it, but like… can it even be done?

in addition, dont run directly at the concussion elites, run at an angle to them so you dont get hit by a ton of concussion rounds.

This is neat, don't plan on getting the achievement, but a fun watch!
