I3utteRz, why do your stats suggest you have only ~4,000 small arms weapon kills for campaign yet you have onyx, MAX. Is that really all we need for max?


Ah, thank you, I'll add this to my first post. The reason is that you can only get 1,023 kills with a single weapon in one game, or 1,023 of one type of medal in one game. When I did small arms I just did it in one game, so after 1,023 plasma pistol kills, it didn't record any more in my service record. You WILL still get kills toward your commendations, they just won't show up on bungie.net.


How long did that one game last? Its taking me forever.

326 minutes, which included finding, practicing and perfecting the technique before getting ~15,000 kills. But that 326 minutes is in-game time, so it doesn't count the second or two it takes to revert, so probably like 7 hours total.

And it took a lot of perfecting.

Updating some stuff.

Bump for awesome.

Does the trick for the grenade commendation count as automation?


I found another way to get Super Soldier. If you use the same area for Right of Way, you can splatter all of the Banshees before they take off. You get A Killing Spree, Splatter Spree, and Vehicular Manslaughter if you hit them all. The only downside is that you have to hit it just right each time, and it won't count toward War Machine.

No, you're still pressing the buttons yourself, so it shouldn't count as cheating.

And nice, that sounds good, I'll try it out...

EDIT: You can't really get into position fast enough to splatter 10 every time, so it's not as effective for Super Soldier as a good target locator checkpoint.

Nice Thread

Lol, jk. Great guide, I will probably be using it to get many of my commendations to onyx and beyond :)

When will precision weapons be up?

  • 10.13.2010 10:55 PM PDT

Working on Precisely(A) now, I'm about to post a little teaser screenshot.

Just added tip #1 to the tips section...more to come.

  • 10.13.2010 11:11 PM PDT

Precisely(A) "teaser" posted. I'm sure if anyone wants to try really hard, they can figure it out before I finish updating the section.

Great post. You almost have all of the campaign commendations maxed out! Are you going to move onto firefight and matchmaking afterwords; and how many Cr do you have if you don't mind me asking?

  • 10.14.2010 3:30 AM PDT

"Were it so easy..."

Boosting takes all the fun out of actually playing for your Commendations.

  • 10.14.2010 3:32 AM PDT

I agree. Finally someone is against boosting.

I think its more fun to have maximum everything instead of random bars that are unrealistically hard to achieve max in. How much do they think we play campaign???

Thanks, I've been waiting for this. I saw your thread a few days back and was wondering...is he gonna make that guide?

Thanks bro.

  • 10.14.2010 8:01 AM PDT

No problem :-)

  • 10.14.2010 10:24 AM PDT

I'm digging this guide so much,got me from Silver to Gold for the Vehicle ones in roughly 10 minutes.You can get 1000 kills every 5 minutes.Its disgusting.I did the Plasma Pistol one to get my Smal Arms to Silver,and I was doing Standard Issue as well,but I was getting bored.I keep myself interested I keep switching after I get each commendation up a rank.I have a short attention span,so I can't sit for 7 hours over and over.I've discovered that a simple 10 mins game time is a big enough boost that I can take a break and come back after a while.

Brilliant guide,and much appreciated.I have to say that your Precisely(A) teaser is most likely the same as your Small Arms/Standard Issue tip but with a Focus Rifle from the beginning of the level used to mop up the 8 kills in seconds.Genius.Thanks again.

  • 10.14.2010 10:56 AM PDT

Ha, yeah, it wasn't so much a teaser as I just didn't want to update that whole section last night.

Glad you like it.
