Following in the footsteps of the multiplayer's surprise launch back in November, the Halo Infinite campaign finally arrived earlier this month, letting fans experience Master Chief's adventures on Zeta Halo. The campaign mixes in some new gameplay mechanics and ideas from previous iterations, giving Master Chief a grappling hook which can not only be effectively used in combat, but comes in handy for traversing the new open spaces and side objectives.
Naturally, 343 has loaded up the Halo: Infinite campaign with tons of Easter eggs, unlockable items, and side content. Ever since his accidental appearance in the initial campaign reveal in 2020, Craig the Brute has gotten plenty of screen time from memes to references. However, it seems 343 has embraced this character and has hidden a few Craig the Brute Easter eggs around thje world of Zeta Halo.
In fact, players may have already discovered a number of secret achievements mixed in to the list as well, with some of them being extremely difficult to unlock like Headmaster inside Halo: Infinite. There's another which will likely frustrate fans who don't take their time through Mission 13.
Bring Sheila Home Safely Details
This secret achievement can only be unlocked within Mission 13 called The Road. As its name suggests, Halo: Infinite players are given a tank to use as they approach a house at the end of a long stretch of road. Bring Sheila Home Safely requires that players make it to the house with the tank fully intact, something which is made much more difficult as the path is lined with plenty of enemies as well as highly damaging vehicles like Dropships and Wraiths.
Thankfully, there are a different ways players can approach this mission to bring Sheila home safely for 10 gamerscore.
Achievement Strategy and Easy Ways to Unlock
Ultimately, players will need to be very patient and take their time, making sure to stay back to prevent the tank from taking too much damage. Getting too deep into combat can drain the vehicles health very quickly, so picking enemies off from afar should be the main goal. Another part of the problem is that Halo's scorpion tank can't maneuver that well, so avoiding attacks is difficult to do. Players can also restart the checkpoint if the damage becomes too much and the tank is about to blow. Considering that missions can't be replayed at this time, this would also save players from having to run through the campaign again to get back to Mission 13 for another try if the tank does explode the first time through.
However, that isn't the easiest method. For starts, players can lower the difficulty of Halo: Infinite, even if they've already started the campaign. Simply go to Load Game instead of Continue, which will display the save file and allowing the difficulty to be changed. Putting the game on easy will lessen the enemy AI and make them more managable.
Alternatively, there's another method that ensures the tank's survival. Players can instead tackle this part of the mission on foot, or by stealing other enemy vehicles along the way. While this may make the mission a bit harder, it prevents the tank from taking any damage at all. Players will find two sections of the mission where they're required to get out of a vehicle. The first involving taking out the deadly Hunter enemy by a gate, while the second is to extend a bridge to the House location. Once the bridge is extended, players should backtrack to Sheila and drive it through the now clear road for an easy achievement.
Origins of the Achievement
For many folks, the achievement name may not make a lot of sense. This is actually a nod to the classic Halo webseries Red vs Blue, which debuted a tank named Sheila in Episode 3 during the first season. The tank not only had its own personality, but it continued to be a part of the series through multiple seasons.
In terms of Halo: Infinite, the secret achievement appears to be only the tip of the iceberg with Red vs Blue references. When calling in a tank from a FOB location, on occasion the tank will be referenced as Sheila by the AI. In addition, Marines sometimes refer to Warthogs as Pumas in another reference to the webseries.
Halo Infinite is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
