'''Banshees, Fast and Low''' is a [[Campaign]] [[Achievement]] in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. This achievement is awarded when a player hijacks a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] in Campaign. It is represented by the traditional skyjack medal icon.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_070910 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update 07.09.10'']</ref>

Banshees can also be stunned for a short time with an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]] shot and a [[Grenade Launcher]] shot.


==Methods==
Not all areas have Banshees that can be hijacked (such as the ones in Winter Contingency, where the Banshees don't have pilots). Good areas to achieve this are past the EMP barrier and before the spire in [[Tip of the Spear]] and within the caverns in [[The Package (level)|The Package]].
*The [[Series 8 jetpack|Jetpack]] is very useful for completing this achievement. Banshees can also be stunned for a short time with an overcharged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]] shot and a [[Grenade launcher|Grenade Launcher]] shot.
*Not all areas have Banshees that can be hijacked (such as the ones in [[Winter Contingency]], where the Banshees don't have pilots). Good areas to achieve this are past the EMP barrier and before the spire in [[Tip of the Spear]] and within the caverns in [[The Package]].
*This achievement is glitched, in that one can get it by boarding a Falcon. First, betray allies such that they become hostile. Then go to an ally on a Falcon and board the Falcon. Boarding it will award the player the achievement. A good spot to perform this action is during [[Exodus]], in the beginning of the final chapter, ''I Should Have Become A Watchmaker''.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The achievement's name is a direct quote from a [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] [[pilot]] in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' campaign level [[Sierra 117]].{{Ref/Level|H3|Sierra 117}}
*The achievement's name is a direct quote from a [[Dropship-77 Heavy Troop Carrier/Infantry|Pelican]] [[pilot]] in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' Campaign level [[Sierra 117]].
*The Banshees on Winter Contingency will begin to fly near the ground once all enemies are killed, yet they cannot be hijacked.
*This achievement is glitched, in that you can get it by boarding a Falcon. You first have to betray your allies such that they become hostile. Then go to an ally on a Falcon and you should get the option to "board enemy Falcon". Boarding it will award you the achievement.  
*In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', this achievement was replaced by [[Swift and Shallow]], which is also awarded for hijacking a Banshee in Campaign.
*On the Package, when you have to protect Dr. Halsey's lab, you can grab a jetpack and fly to a Banshee and hijack it. This can get you the achievement.
