===============================================================================
There are 41 achievements to unlock in Destiny for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, 
amounting to 1,000 gamerscore total.

Unlocking all of the achievements in Destiny is going to take friends. The game
is described as a shared-world shooter, and much of it is a very social 
experience. If you don't have any friends that are playing Destiny on Xbox One,
the GameFAQs forums are a great place to look for people that are looking to 
join up and play together.

Even though this guide was written using the Xbox One version of Destiny, the 
contents herein will still apply to the Xbox 360 version of the game. 
Furthermore, this guide also applies to the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 
versions of Destiny as well. The difference is that those versions will have 
trophies instead of achievements that are either Bronze, Silver, Gold, or 
Platinum. There are 42 trophies in Destiny on PlayStation platforms as opposed 
to the 41 achievements on Xbox platforms as the Platinum trophy is an extra 
reward given to players that manage to unlock all of the other trophies that 
are in the game.

To jump to a specific achievement, use the ctrl+f function.

There have been many people, myself included, that have encountered problems 
unlocking some of the achievements in Destiny. If you are sure that you have 
completed the requirements for an achievement and have yet to unlock it, do 
not worry. The next time that you boot up the game, the achievement will 
probably pop as soon as you select your character.

A Friend Indeed (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Resurrect 5 fallen players
Strategy: This achievement can be won in any co-op mission as well as in 
Skirmish matches on The Crucible.

It is in these types of missions and matches that allied players will turn into
orbs when they have been defeated. Simply go over to their orb and hold in the 
X button to revive them.

A New Steed (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Obtain and equip a new personal vehicle
Strategy: This is a story-based achievement. Simply play through the story 
missions until you reach the mission called "The Warmind", which takes place 
in Old Russia on Earth. After completing one of the first objectives in the 
mission, you will unlock the Sparrow personal vehicle.

To equip the personal vehicle, pull out your Ghost. On Xbox One, this is 
accomplished by pressing the View Button. At that point, hold in the X button 
until the Sparrow has been summoned. Keep in mind that there is certain 
terrain in which you will not be able to spawn your Sparrow, but the game will 
let you know if you are currently in an area that restricts you from hopping 
on the Sparrow.

Ask Questions Later (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Earn a first strike kill in PvP
Strategy: You can get this achievement in any of the PvP match types. I find 
that the easiest two to get this achievement are Rumble or Skirmish.

The reason for this is that in Rumble, you will usually spawn right by one of 
the other six players in the game since the maps are very small. If you rush 
to your opponent and are skilled enough to defeat them, then this one is 
fairly easy to obtain.

Skirmish is another easy way to get this achievement, especially if you are 
actively cooperating with the other two people on your team. If you are in 
communication with them and they are in your fireteam, you can simply ask 
them not to kill any of the opponents. They can still help you dwindle their 
health down, but they would need to let you swoop in and get the kill. As long 
as you kill the first person on the enemy team and no one on your team gets 
killed, then the achievement will pop.

Bane of the Dead (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 25 Hive with precision shots in 1 mission without dying
Strategy: Okay, since this is the first achievement of four that all have 
similar descriptions, I am going to use this opportunity to go into a bit more 
detail about what this type of achievement entails exactly, and this 
information will apply to the next three achievements that are listed, which 
are Bane of the Emperor, Bane of the Kell, and Bane of the Machines.

First of all, let me explain what the game means by a "precision shot". Each 
enemy in the game has a weak point that can be exploited. For the vast majority
of the enemies in the game, with only a few exceptions, that weak point is 
going to be their head. Seems crazy I know, but most creatures are simply 
unable to function without a head.

You will know when you are landing what is called a "precision shot" when the 
damage numbers are yellow instead of white, the latter of which denotes when 
you are dealing normal type damage to enemies.

So let's take this specific achievement, Bane of the Dead, for example. The 
achievement description states that you are to kill 25 Hive with precision 
shots in 1 mission without dying.

What this means is that you need to kill 25 Hive with headshots in any type of 
mission in the game (this includes Patrols, Strikes, Story missions, etc.) 
without dying. If you die, then the count will restart at 0, so you could 
technically die in the mission and still get the achievement if you want to 
start over.

The weapons that I recommend to use for precision shots are obviously ones 
that have scopes. Scout Rifles or Sniper Rifles are both very good weapons 
to use for this, though you can technically get a precision shot with pretty 
much any other weapon in the game. However, Scout Rifles and Sniper Rifles are 
the weapons that make this achievement easier.

It's best to go for this achievement in an area where you are higher leveled 
than the enemies. The reason for this is that sometimes when you are lining 
up headshots, the enemies may crowd and somewhat overwhelm you. If you are 
much higher level than them and have good gear and weapons, then this won't 
matter. So try to farm these achievements in areas where you are much higher 
level than the enemies to make it as easy as possible.

The Hive enemies are mostly found on the Moon. You will find them other 
places, but doing Moon missions, particularly the Moon Strike Mission called 
The Summoning Pits, will guarantee you a massive amount of Hive enemies for you
to shoot in the head.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bane of the Emperor (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 25 Cabal with precision shots in 1 mission without dying
Strategy: For some more in-depth information on what this achievement entails 
exactly, please refer to the previous achievement called "Bane of the Dead". 
Otherwise, all you need to know is where to find Cabal. Cabal are the most 
common enemy you will run into on Mars, so doing Mars related missions and 
Strike Missions that are on Mars, such as Cerberus Vae III, will give you the 
opportunity to kill a ton of Cabal-type enemies.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bane of the Kell (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 25 Fallen with precision shots in 1 mission without dying
Strategy: Again, refer to Bane of the Dead for more in-depth information. 
Otherwise, all you need to know for this achievement is where to find Fallen. 
Fallen can be found everywhere, but they are most prevalent on Earth. That 
being said, the Earth Strike Mission, which is called The Devils' Lair, also 
has a lot of Hive enemies mixed in with the Fallen, so other Earth-related 
missions are probably better to farm for this achievement on.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Bane of the Machines (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 25 Vex with precision shots in 1 mission without dying
Strategy: Now this is the part where I would usually redirect you to Bane of 
the Dead. And by all means, check it out. However, you can't simply shoot the 
robotic Vex race of aliens in the head and expect to be successful; as you 
probably already know, shooting them in the head doesn't exactly stop them 
from coming after you!

Instead the Vex weak point is its gut. Its gut glows with a white energy so 
you know exactly where to shoot it. Otherwise the same concepts apply when 
going for this achievement as they did the previous three. Use Sniper Rifles 
or Scout Rifles to be most effective.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Blink of an Eye (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 5 enemies in 3 seconds
Strategy: I am sure you're going to get this achievement by yourself long 
before you even read this guide, but for those that are, somehow, struggling 
with this, I will provide a couple of different strategies in which you can 
get this achievement.

One way is to throw a grenade into a cluster of enemies. Numerous times 
throughout the story missions and the Strike missions, you will come across 
mobs of enemies all grouped together. These provide fantastic opportunities 
for you to throw a grenade into the middle of them and wipe them all out 
simultaneously. Furthermore, a well-placed rocket shot can do the same thing. 
Finally, your Super Charge ability will most likely be able to do this as 
well, so yeah...there are a ton of ways to accomplish this one, and I actually 
got this achievement doing the tutorial mission, so it is indeed very easy, 
despite the description making it sound challenging.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Change of Heart (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Reverse a decision you made in an upgrade grid
Strategy: As you level up your class, you will come to find out that sometimes 
new upgrades meaning getting rid of an old one. A good example of this is how 
the classes each have a few grenades at their disposal. Once you unlock the 
second grenade and equip it, the game will un-equip the initial grenade that 
you had.

Of course, you can switch back and forth between the grenade types if you'd 
like, and that is what this achievement requires. To reach the upgrade grid, 
press the Menu Button. Then hover the cursor over the class tile in the upper 
left hand corner of the screen, on the screen that shows your Guardian and all 
of your weapons and armor.

Tap the Y button to then enter the grid. It is here where you can see all of 
your upgrades and you can go around equipping and unequipping the different 
upgrades at will, assuming that they are ones that can be unequipped.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Decryptologist (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Decrypt 25 Engrams
Strategy: As you play through the game modes, both in co-op missions and in 
The Crucible, you will be rewarded with plenty of loot. Loot that looks a bit 
blurred out is known as an Engram. These Engrams need to be deciphered by the 
Cryptarch at the Tower in order for you to see and collect the loot that you 
won.

The Cryptarch is one of the first vendors that you will encounter on the 
Tower if you have just arrived from orbit. If you have anything in your 
inventory that is an Engram that needs decrypting, a green objective marker 
with an exclamation mark will lead you directly to the Cryptarch. Speak to 
him and then use the cursor to select the Engram that you want to be 
deciphered. At that point, you can collect the true loot.

For this achievement, you need to do this 25 times. You will definitely 
receive 25 Engrams just from natural play, so don't worry about farming this 
particular achievement. Just make a visit to the Tower every so often to 
decrypt your new gear.

Dragon Slayer (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill a champion of the Dark
Strategy: All this means is kill a boss. You will kill a boss when you finish 
the game's tutorial level, as it concludes with a boss battle. Defeat him and 
the achievement is yours. Ta-da.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Epic Raider (45G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Complete a Raid on hard difficulty
Strategy: Okay, this achievement is going to be extremely difficult to 
unlock. The reason for that is as of the time of this writing, there is only 
one Raid in Destiny. It is a level 26 Raid called the Vault of Glass, and it 
is notoriously difficult and time-consuming.

I am sure the difficulty in the Raid will be lowered in the future, or new, 
easier Raids will be added to the game as well. Regardless, this achievement 
still asks you to complete the Raid on at least hard difficulty. To change the 
difficulty of a Raid or any co-op mission, you have the choice to do so while 
hovering over its icon (the Vault of Glass Raid is on Venus).

Raids can be done with up to six people in your fireteam, unlock the usual 
co-op missions that only allow you to have three people on your team. Good 
luck, because you're definitely going to need it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Excessive Force (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Register 25 kills in PvP with heavy weapons
Strategy: At certain points during multiplayer matches, the announcer will 
say "Heavy ammo available". Your HUD will then include a purple icon that 
shows you where the heavy ammo is located. Rush to it because the heavy ammo 
can only be looted once from that location and then it will disappear until it 
respawns again later in the match.

Hold X when you get to a heavy ammo crate to collect the ammo. Your heavy 
weapon will automatically be loaded with it. However, if you collect heavy 
ammo on the ground (heavy ammo is highlighted in purple on the ground), then 
you will have to manually load your weapon before you have access to it.

Heavy weapons themselves are not obtained until you complete the story mission 
called "The Last Array" in Old Russia on Earth. After completing that mission 
you can return to the Tower to obtain the right to use heavy weapons.

Assuming you have heavy weapons, to equip them you simply hold in the Y 
button. Heavy weapons can either be machineguns or rocket launchers. Kills 
with either will count towards this achievement.

Finders Keepers (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Assist in capturing 50 capture points in Control
Strategy: In Control, the main objective is to go to the points A, B, or C, and
then "capture" those points. That is accomplished by standing within the radius
around the flag until that letter is filled in with the color blue, meaning 
that your team has control of that flag. No matter what faction you are on 
in multiplayer, you ALWAYS want the flag to be blue.

If you reach a flag and it is not neutral (grey flags denote neutral ones), 
then you first have to neutralize it before capturing it. Neutralizing a flag 
is accomplished in the same manner as capturing one. Simply stand within the 
radius to neutralize, and then keep standing there until it is blue to 
capture it.

Control, obviously, is one of the four PvP match types that can be found in 
The Crucible.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Flawless Raider (65G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Complete a Raid without anyone in your fireteam dying
Strategy: And you thought the other Raid achievement was tough. As of the time 
of this writing, I don't think anyone has even unlocked this achievement yet. 
I have no doubt that easier Raids will be added in the future that will make 
this achievement not so impossibly tough to get, but as of right now...good 
luck is really all I have to say.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Flawless Striker (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Complete a Strike without anyong in your fireteam dying
Strategy: Now THIS achievement is much easier to get. Simply complete a Strike 
mission and don't let anyone on your fireteam die. The easiest way to do this 
is to return to an old Strike mission after you have already leveled up a lot. 
Get to level 20, then return to the Strike Mission on Earth and you should be 
able to breeze through it very easily.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Fully Weaponized (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Fully upgrade a Legendary weapon
Strategy: To see if a weapon is Legendary, you simply have to look at the color
of its tile. The color purple indicates that a piece of gear is Legendary 
status or not.

To obtain a Legendary weapon, you either need to buy one from one of the 
vendors in the Tower, or just get lucky in loot drops. Once you have one, you 
need to keep playing with it to earn XP while you have it equipped. There may 
also be a certain amount of Glimmer (the game's main currency) or other 
crafting materials required to upgrade it and unlock new abilities for the 
weapon, which is all dependent on the weapon itself.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Ghost Hunter (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Discover 50 dead ghosts
Strategy: Dead ghosts are one of the collectibles in the game, the other 
collectible being gold chests. There's more than 50 of them in the game. Since 
I am interested in making an achievement guide and not a collectible guide, I 
am not going to include the location of the dead ghosts here. However, you 
can check out this guide from noz3r0 that details where you can find all of 
the dead ghosts on each world:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Giant Slayer (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 100 Titans in PvP
Strategy: This achievement is self-explanatory. Your goal is to kill 100 
Titan class players while in The Crucible.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hunter Killer (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 100 Hunters in PvP
Strategy: Much like the previous achievement, you have to kill 100 enemies in 
The Crucible, except this time you need to worry about killing Hunters. I find 
that the Hunter and Warlock classes are the most used classes in the game, so 
this shouldn't take all that long.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hunter Mastery (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Fully upgrade a Hunter Subclass
Strategy: Once you hit level 20, you can still keep upgrading the two 
subclasses attached to each class in the game. You can check the progress to 
your next ability unlock by looking at the green bar that is on the subclass 
icon in the pause menu.

At level 15, you will unlock the second subclass for your character. To get 
this achievement in the fastest way possible, you should stick with your 
first subclass until you've maxed it out. You only earn XP for the subclass 
that you currently have equipped.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Inspector (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Inspect another player
Strategy: This is one of thoese extremely easy achievements that are just there
to make sure you try out everything in the game. In case you didn't know, you 
can check out the Guardian of another player in your fireteam or the Guardian 
of people on your Friend List, assuming that they are currently online playing 
Destiny when you are.

Anyway to do this, press the Menu Button. Then tap LB to go to the "Roster". 
Move the cursor so that it is above the name of whoever you want to inspect. 
At that juncture, press the Y button to take a look at their gear as well as 
their Guardian.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Lucky 7s (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Attain a Grimoire score of 777
Strategy: As you play the game, you've probably seen the "Grimoire" info pop 
up on the bottom of the screen from time to time. What these are, are 
challenges that can be found on Bungie.net that you can complete to earn points
for Bungie.net.

This achievement will unlock just by naturally playing the game. Most people 
I know have gotten it before even finishing up the story missions, so it is 
nothing to stress over. You don't have to get a score of exactly 777 either, 
just 777 or higher and the achievement will pop.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Notorious (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Earn the maximum weekly Crucible score
Strategy: Every week, you can only earn up to 100 Crucible Marks. The Crucible 
Marks are used as currency for some of the vendors in the game that you can 
talk to in order to buy really powerful gear from. You earn 3 Crucible marks 
by winning a match and 2 by completing one to the end, even if you don't win. 
Control and Clash matches take the longest, so if you are looking to play 
quicker matches, try Skirmish and Rumble.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Packing Heat (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Fully upgrade an Exotic weapon
Strategy: Before you can bother with fully upgrading an Exotic weapon, you 
must first obtain one. These are extremely difficult to obtain. The first way 
to obtain them is by random loot drops, but good luck with that.

The other way is by purchasing them from Xur. Xur is only at the Tower on the 
weekends, from Friday to Sunday in real world time. Xur only accepts currency 
in the form of Strange Coins, which are somewhat difficult to obtain as 
well. To get them, complete the weekly Heroic Strike (which will get you 
three), and otherwise just play the game and hope that you get one in the form 
of loot drops or rewards at the end of missions.

Once you have 23 Strange Coins, you are able to purchase both Exotic weapons 
and Exotic armor from Xur. For this specific achievement, you will want to 
purchase an Exotic weapon, obviously.

Once you have an Exotic weapon, you need to use it in order to gain XP for it 
so that you can level it up and equip new attributes to it. You will be made 
aware when you have upgrades available, so don't worry about constantly keeping
an eye on it. Most of the time you will also need some crafting materials in 
order to complete the upgrade, so check to make sure what materials are needed 
to upgrade whatever Exotic weapon you snag so that you can prepare for it.

A weapon is fully upgraded when all attributes for it have been purchased, so 
when your Exotic weapon has all of its attributes purchased and the green 
bar on its icon is completely full, this achievement will unlock.

Public Defender (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Earn the highest tier of completion in 10 public events
Strategy: Public events will pop up every now and again when you're just doing 
other things in the game. To start them, go to their location and simply join 
the other players that are completing them.

Public events are usually boss battles, but they take other forms as well. 
They have a variety of objectives and most of the time they also use time 
limits as well.

Completing them in a timely manner will get you a Gold tier rating. The 
rating you receive for completing the public event will pop up at the top of 
the screen once the public event has been completed.

You don't actually need to complete 10 different public events for this 
achievement. In fact, you can just do the same one over and over again. The 
public events will pop up every half an hour or so if you just stick around in 
the area that they are supposed to pop. Public events can be found on every 
world in the game.

Raider (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Complete a Raid
Strategy: The first Raid in the game is a level 26 Raid called the Vault of 
Glass that is on Venus. You won't even unlock this Raid to see until you are 
level 22, and at that point, it may still tell you that it is "Impossible" to 
complete the Raid due to a lack of powerful enough gear. To complete the 
Raid, you're definitely going to need a full fireteam of six that includes some
very skilled players at the game or else you don't stand a chance in hell.

Raiding Party (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Complete a Raid with a full fireteam consisting of only your clan 
members
Strategy: Before doing anything else, you must first create a clan. To create a
clan in Destiny, you have to go to Bungie.net. When you get there, you can be 
walked through the process of creating a clan, and then once it has been 
created, others will need to search for your clan, ask to join, and then you 
will have to accept their application.

Alternatively, you can find a clan to join and then team up with other players 
from that same clan. You will know when you have successfully created or joined
a clan because under your name you will see your clan tag.

To have a full fireteam in a Raid, you need six people playing the game. You 
also need them all to be a part of your clan, or you all need to be in the 
same clan to do this.

Relic Hunter (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Assist in capturing 20 capture points in Salvage
Strategy: This achievement is a little strange because Salvage was an event in 
The Crucible that only lasted a few days. I assume that they are going to 
bring it back, either in the form of another event or hopefully as its own 
dedicated game mode (Salvage is awesome), but in the meantime, you can at least
learn what you need to do in order to get the achievement!

In Salvage, the goal is to reach relics and then capture the relics. Relics are
captured in the same manner that flags are captured in Control. Simply stand 
within the radius.

Once you've deployed your Ghost to start capturing the relic, you have to 
defend the position from the opposing team. Your opponents can disrupt the 
process by getting to your Ghost and holding the X button to stop you from 
collecting the relic.

Salvage is a 3v3 game type, so a lot of the same aspects of Skirmish apply to 
it as well, the most important of which is that you are able to revive members 
of your team when playing Skirmish.

Rising Vanguard (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Complete a Strike
Strategy: The first Strike that you can complete unlocks once you hit level 8. 
There are five Strikes in the game, and eventually you even unlock a playlist 
of them in more difficult forms. There are also Weekly Heroic Strikes that 
provide bonus rewards if they are completed.

A Strike is a mission that typically involves mowing through a ton of enemies 
and then culminates in one or two really intense and challenging boss battles. 
You can go back to Strikes when you're a higher level later if one is giving 
you trouble.

Ship Rite (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Rebuild a Jumpship
Strategy: This is just the achievement that you get for completing the tutorial
mission at the beginning of the game. Congratulations.

Strength of the Pack (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Complete a Strike with a full fireteam consisting of only your 
clan members
Strategy: For information on how to create a clan in Destiny, please refer to 
the "Raiding Party" achievement. Once you have a clan together and the other 
two people in your fireteam (a full fireteam in a Strike means three players) 
are in the same clan, all you have to do is complete a Strike with them.

Suited for War (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Have all armor and weapon slots equipped with Legendary or Exotic 
gear
Strategy: If you check out the achievements called "Fully Weaponized" and 
"Packing Heat", I've already explained how to obtain both Legendary and Exotic 
gear. Legendary gear is purple and Exotic gear is yellow. You just need each 
slot on your Guardian to feature either a Legendary or an Exotic to get this 
achievement, and yes your class mark in the bottom right hand corner needs to 
be Legendary or Exotic as well.

The Life Exotic (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Obtain and equip a piece of Exotic gear
Strategy: See "Packing Heat" for more information.

Titan Mastery (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Fully upgrade a Titan Subclass.
Strategy: For a bit more information on what this entails, check out the 
"Hunter Mastery" achievement, except apply that information to a Titan instead.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Triple Play (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill a Hunter, Titan, and Warlock without dying in a PvP Match
Strategy: This sounds a lot harder than it is. You just need to kill one of 
each of the classes in any of the four PvP match types without dying yourself.

The easiest way to get this is in Skirmish. This is because most fireteams will
consist of one of each class, and since there are only three people allowed in 
any given fireteam, there is a good chance that you will be paired up with a 
team that does consist of one Hunter, one Titan, and one Warlock.

If you have your Super Charge, you can rush them with it and try to get them 
all at once. You can try to pick them off and work together with your teammates
if they are willing to help you get the kills and not take them for themselves.

Otherwise don't stress too much about this achievement. You will probably 
unlock it just by naturally playing the game.

Use of Weapons (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Dismantle 50 pieces of armor or weapons
Strategy: Whenever you get a piece of armor or a weapon that is stronger than 
the one you currently have, then you should immediately equip it and then 
dismantle the old one. This way, you will get this achievement in no time at 
all due to all of the loot that you will get in the game. To dismantle an item,
first make sure that you don't have it equipped. Then hover the cursor over it 
and hold the X button until it is dismantled. You will get Glimmer as well as 
various crafting materials for dismantling gear.

Valorous (30G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Earn the maximum weekly Vanguard score
Strategy: Like The Crucible, there is a maximum amount of Vanguard marks that 
you can earn in a given week. You can only earn 100 Vanguard marks just like 
you can only earn 100 Crucible marks.

To get Vanguard marks, you have to do Daily Heroic Story missions, Weekly 
Heroic Strike missions, or do the Strike playlists. Public Events can also 
get you Vanguard marks.

Vanguard of Honor (20G)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Attain Vanguard Rank 3
Strategy: Vanguard reputation is what you need in order to increase your 
Vanguard rank. There are many ways to get Vanguard reputation. You can get it 
by completing Strikes, doing Patrol missions, doing bounties, and more.

However, if you have a bond, mark, or cloak from one of the three factions at 
the Tower equipped, you will only work towards leveling up your rank with them 
and your ability to access their store. Have a different bond, mark, or cloak 
equipped so that you can level up both your Vanguard and Crucible rank, though 
there is no achievement attached to getting a high Crucible ranking.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Description: Kill 100 Warlocks in PvP
Strategy: Warlocks seem to be the most common type of character that people 
have chosen. You will get this achievement without too much time investment in 
The Crucible.

Xbox One and Xbox 360, and all of the trophies for the PS3 and PS4 versions of 
the game as well.
