anyone havin trouble assassinating the elite on pillar of autumn for the achievement? my sprint is turned off when i reach him and i do assassinate him but no achievement... an easier ways to do this?

I heard it's bugged so it doesn't work always

ive heard that too... ive been trying for the past 3 hours and i got nothin... only missing 3 achievements for it now too...

So do it later?

Make sure you're not landing on his head, that'll break your fall so you won't die and you won't get the achievement.

im not landing on his head i aim behind him and swing and ive gotten the animation but no achievement

Well I had to get the animation a few times before I got the achievement. The only reasons you would survive the fall (so you wouldn't get the achievement) are if sprint is still active or if you were going to hit him on the way down (not even landing directly on his head, if you touch him at all it could screw it up).

If your lunge is too forward it will slow your fall and this achievement will not be triggered as you are no longer traveling at a terminal velocity. Try lunging straight down on the target Elite’s head as you are falling so you don’t lose terminal velocity. This usually takes multiple attempts and can be tough to trigger. Don’t give up!

idk if this helps but it was on the FAQ on bungie

still nothing lol

just gotta keep trying, took me around 40-50 tries myself
