| '''Fear the Pink Mist''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Achievement]] represented by a pink circle with a [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] and five hearts surrounding the weapon. It was originally awarded for killing five enemies with a Needler, in a ranked, or free-for-all match or [[Campaign]]. The name of the achievement is a reference to the large pink explosion that occurs when Needler projectiles detonate on a target. It is worth five [[Gamerscore]]. The achievement can be easily obtained on almost any campaign level. | | '''Fear the Pink Mist''' is a [[Halo 3 Achievement]]. It is awarded for killing 5 enemies with a [[Needler]] in a ranked, free-for-all match or Campaign. The name is presumably a reference to the real life sniper term "Pink Mist', which results when a combatant is hit in the head by a high powered bullet. The huge kinetic energy transfer causes the skull to explode and leaves nothing but a mist of blood. |

| *"Pink Mist" is also a phrase from the film ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarhead_%28film%29 Jarhead]'', in which it is used to describe the effects of a headshot on a sniper's target. The target's brains and blood would shoot out of the exit wound on their head, causing a pink/red mist to stay in the air for a few seconds.

| *This is one of the first, and easiest, achievements the player is able to get via campaign.
| |
| *The ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' [[Pink and Deadly]] and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[A Spoonful of Blamite]] achievements are similar to this achievement, but instead of having to kill 5 enemies, the player must kill 10 enemies.
