I don't have my Graduate Achievement and I cannot figure out why. I have earned it, but I just don't seem to have it.
Plox?

What do you mean? As in when you view your achievements it isn't there yet you have seen it pop up as you getting the achievement?


I thought I had originally got it way back when H3 came out, but one of my friends pointed it out the other day that I don't have it. When I said I earned it, I meant that I have exceeded the requirements for it. I have the pin in my service record, just not the achievement. And I did not power down my x-box after I earned it, I continued playing for several more hours.

my case is (and it still happens) when i wear all of the security armor and katana some games i will have my armor on and some i have the regular mark IV armor. i also got all 49 achievements before the big update came out. weird. i also, on the rarest occasion, had the recon helmet on when i died, but when i came back, it was normal.
If your armour isn't disappearing in the game menus when you can change your armour, don't worry about it. It is because of lag, and those settings are set to default to help stop lag along with other things.

It happens to me as well, don't worry about it.

I'm honestly confused... I have all 59 currently unlockable achievements, and have had the Katana and Security permutations for as long as I can remember - well before TU2.

But, I went back a few days ago, and went to wear the Katana, and the option was gone - along with Security.

I don't mind it so much, because I mainly use EVA and Mark V, but it's an annoyance none-the-less. I can't get any more achievements to try and poke it into reality, because I already have the current set.

Shall I just wait for the Mythic maps and get another achievement?

So to get the "Graduate" achievement I need to get 5 exp in every playlist or play 10 games in every playlist? I ask this because I have close to 600 EXP and still no "Graduate" achievement

I have the pin that I unlocked a very long time ago, yet no achievement. It is really bothering me and I have contacted every support group I could think of (bungie, microsoft, xboxlive) to no response being sent back.

As a completionist I would like to understand what I need to do exactly to get this thing to unlock for me!

Thanks in advance I really appreciate it.

I just got 72exp and my 10th skill in Ranked Team Slayer and played a few 2 or 3 more matches after that because I found that I was not obtaining the officer achievement. So you are saying that I just need to keep earning more exp to get the achievement and the rogue helmet?

Correct. You need 50 EXP in a single playlist to unlock the Spartan Officer achievement and Rogue helmet. You currently have 22 EXP in Social Slayer, so continue with that. Best of luck = ]

Well, here's a new one...I don't remember when I completed legendary campaign, you'd have to look at my achievments, but yet, my Service Report tells me I am currently in the process of beating it. I remember one day signing into Halo and seeing that isntead of having the shield with skull and crossbones, I had a blank blue silouhuette of a shield. I went to the campaign page and I had lost all my skulls, my levels, and my armor. I still had the achievments though so I can PROVE that I had completed legendary. So. Anyway I/you/anyone can fix this?

Glancing over your achievements, you have a few remaining that are not very difficult. Try unlocking the following:

- Guerilla
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the first mission.
- Demon
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the second mission.
- Cavalier
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the third mission.
- Askar
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the fourth mission.
-Exterminator
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the fifth mission.
- Ranger
Earn over 50,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the sixth mission.
- Vanguard
Earn over 50,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the seventh mission.
- Orpheus
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the eighth mission.
- Reclaimer
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the final mission.
- Lee R Wilson Memorial
Score 5 grenade sticks in any ranked free for all playlist.
- Maybe Next Time Buddy
Board the same vehicle within 10 seconds after being boarded in any free for all playlist.

I, nor anyone else, can guarantee obtaining these will unlock the Security helmet and Katana as the original achievements do play a factor. However, if this done not work, continue playing, earning achievements, and in time the two permutations will unlock. best of luck = ]

Im missing the 7 on the 7th achievment i just got done with it up to 7 exp.
Are you sure it was still January 7th when you hit 7 EXP? Unfortunately, you will have to wait until next month to unlock it.

I don't know of an exact fix for this problem, but try completing the driving part of "Halo" once more. Others have had a similar problem, and have had it fixed by doing that or waiting a few weeks for it to update itself.

Thanks for the help, robby. I will try to do the driving part and see if that works but I really don't think waiting is going to work because my campaign stats have been erased since June.

I know Robby already answered it for you but im having the exact same problem. I too have lost the katana body and my security helm.

It was all fine and then i did the 7 on 7 achievement. Checked my appearence while waiting to find players and the katana and the helm is not there. No idea why this is happening.

I have all the original achievements and the first achievement i got after the title update was 7 on 7. I dont know why this is happening but its really annoying. You can even check my profile its all there. =(

It is nice that Bungie made this sticky, but it would be nice if they actually paid attention and helped with the issues. Other users shouldn't have to guess at whats wrong with other people's accounts, it is basic customer service.

Your case seems to be a pretty common problem among others. And lucky for you, there's an easy solution = ]

Unlock a few of the new achievements. Play a handful of DLC Big Team matches (Social Big Team after the playlist update). You should be able to unlock "Double Double", "Road Rage", and possibly "Flag Dropped" as they aren't very difficult.

Best of luck = ]

Since TU2, to unlock the UNSC Spartan achievement and Mark V helmet you need to an EXP rank of Sergeant (12 EXP) in a single playlist. Same applies to the Spartan Officer achievement you need an EXP rank of lieutenant (50 EXP) in a single playlist as well as a highest skill of 10 and a global rank of lieutenant.

You currently have 9 EXP in Lone Wolves so I would recommend you continue playing that playlist. It's all up to you, good luck = ]
