'Because You Begged' Fix Without File Modification
By FrostyWheats
Easy fix without game file modification

This simple fix will allow anyone to complete this bugged challenge without any modification to your game files. All you need to do is start up The Package on any difficulty and finish the mission. This will allow you to load directly into Pillar of Autumn without navigating a menu. Once you've loaded into the level, you should be able to to sprint off the ledge as normal and assassinate the elite to grant you the challenge completed.

*At the time of posing this method has worked every time on PC and has yet to be tested on console. Additionally, the tests done on PC have been limited.

Summary
This simple fix will allow anyone to complete this bugged challenge without any modification to your game files. All you need to do is start up The Package on any difficulty and finish the mission. This will allow you to load directly into Pillar of Autumn without navigating a menu. Once you've loaded into the level, you should be able to to sprint off the ledge as normal and assassinate the elite to grant you the challenge completed.

Once you complete The Package do not exit to the menu until you complete the challenge as you may have to repeat the process of completing The Package again. Also, you cannot jump straight into Pillar of Autumn even if you've already played The Package before. They must be played back to back for this to work.
Steps
  1. Start up and complete The Package as normal.
  2. Do not exit to the menu after completing The Package.
  3. Let the game load you into the Pillar of Autumn.
  4. Complete the challenge as you normally would.
Any problems? Did this work for you? Let me know!
If you have any problems post them down below in the comments so I or some other person can help you out and find a fix.

Furthermore, if this method worked for you please let me know! Also please rate this up so other people can find this guide and get the Mister Chief helmet before this season ends!

If you jump off at the wrong spot it's not enough distance to kill you therefore you didn't survive a fall because of the assassination, it just wasn't a lethal fall distance (From my experience)

yeah idk if the challenge is actually bugged; just need to load into Pillar of Autumn on Legendary difficulty.

I started the mission up on legendary with scoring and managed it on my first try, I got the achievement that way. No modifications or anything, Hell, I tried this guides method, but that didn't work. Hopefully its not due to whether you restart from last checkpoint or not. But just in case, keep scoring on!

I didn't have to do this "fix" that you have posted. My guess is maybe people are trying this on Easy like I first did, because the challenge won't trigger unless you play on Normal or higher.

I've done the challenge, the only thing I had a problem with was that I didn't realise you had to play on normal or higher for it to work. Playing on easy won't get you the challenge.

you guys could try nightfall legendary and assassinate the white elite

tl;dr Melee the Elite from behind, not above
Stolas 28 Feb, 2021 @ 11:41am 
A little theory, but what I'm pretty sure is the issue, is that Melee has a 'Lunge' effect which causes you to hit the Elite before the animation plays, and when you hit the elite, melee or no, you lose the lethal momentum that would kill you and thus make the challenge invalid.

In example, if you jump off that ledge and land ON the Elite, the elite will take damage and you won't die. Probably a intentional design for the game.

What you have to do is be behind the elite rather than above him so that you lunge forward rather than downwards therefore avoiding the lose of momentum and performing the assassination whilst still having the required velocity and momentum.

Now I hate the helmet. For some reason the achievement would never trigger for me on 360 and I'm getting gamer PTSD so this helmet can go straight to mega hell.
