There's a much easier way into Halsey's lab for the "This is Not the Greatest Lab in the World" achievement. Trade the jetpack for sprint. Run through the hole in the wall, and right at the edge of the hole, face left toward the switch. Hit it and run back. You can activate it without any risk of touching the ground or falling, and do you not need a partner.

Collection Eligibility Confirmed
Halo: Reach: See, he IS in the game! (Look to the Right during fly off cutscene)

• If you have a controller it would be the easiest. But with a mouse and keyboard: After you shoot the MAC and the pelican flies into the ship immediately drag your mouse to the right. I've read on other forums that you sometimes even have to lift your mouse and do high sensitivity taps to the right as the game could register your constant right drag as null when loading scripts for the scene.

Yes No You Decide
Halo: Reach: Find Data Pad 19 on Lone Wolf on Legendary difficulty

Left Behind
Halo: Reach: Achieve a score of 30,000 points on Lone Wolf.

One Final Firefight

• Any difficulty. PC is currently broken as XBOX give about 4x more experience. If you still want to try: Group with a full party, turn the skulls on that you want (I recommends everything) and grind with a comfortable difficulty for 45 Minutes - 1 Hour.
  
• Elite assassinations are the fastest way to kill them but be aware of the golden elites with swords. They are able to take you out quick, especially if you're surrounded.
  
• The Wraith that is out of bounds can be hi-jacked if you're able to shoot the gunner, get in the gunner seat (which makes the driver get out), and then drive the vehicle back into the playable zone)
  
• Be aware of the map boundary if you have the Skull "Blind" on, the count down will catch you by surprise.

What About Bob?
Halo: Reach: Find and eliminate one of the hidden Ranger Commander Elites.

• Any difficulty. Thunderstorm skull on.
