Hey everyone, i've been trying to get the terminal achievement where you find all 7 terminals. Well I found all of the terminals and still no achievement. With all the terminals i've been activating them then once it gets to the red screen and doesnt scroll anymore I press B then move onto the next one. when I'm done with all the terminals on the map i exit out of the game and go to the next map. could it be im not getting the achievement because I exit the game? Do I have to finish the level just to get that terminal? Someone please help me out.. thanks alot!

1'st make sure you wait for the terminal to turn red, then turn blue again, than click a, until you cant click no more.

2nd You must be the one to access the terminal. If you are playing Split Screen Coop, and the other person accesses the terminal, you wont get it.

(Did you get the one on Cortana?

There is only seven of them, and none of them are on Cortana.

But like he said, don't exit when it turns red, let it keep going til the text starts again, then til you can't press a anymore

when it turns red, you have to wait, because it'll go blue and take you to another message, if you did not go to the second message, then you did not activate the terminal.

if you're playing co-op, it doesnt matter whether you were the one who actually accessed it. its just like the skulls, if one person in the party did it, then everyone gets it. trust me, i've gotten the skulls and terminals for a bunch of my friends.

also, there is no terminal on the cortana level, there are only terminals that involve the ark, and halo. which is why there are 3 on "The Ark", 3 on "Covenant", and 1 on "Halo".

happy terminal hunting guys.

It is true not everyone needs to access it, technically anyway. They need to be at the terminal with you. It won't open if everyone you are playing with isn't there. But only one person needs to hole RB down to activate it, and everyone gets the text.

well yeah, but you cant even access the terminal if everyone isnt there.
