| | '''Steppin' Razor''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[multiplayer]] [[achievement]]. It is awarded for scoring a [[Triple Kill]] with the [[Energy Sword]] in a ranked free for all [[playlist]]. Unlocking this achievement will give you the Ascetic Helmet for Elite Armor Customization. |
| | |
| | It is represented by a white circle with a red star on it. On top of this is three skulls and an energy sword. |
| | |
| | This is principally a reference to the reggae song by the same name by the Wailers, covered famously by Peter Tosh. |
| | |
| | Additionally, it is a reference to William Gibson's novel ''Neuromancer''. A central character in the book had extensive cybernetic augmentation, including razorblades under her fingernails that could be extended and contracted at will. Late in the novel, that central character- Molly- was dubbed "Steppin' Razor" by a secondary character. |
| | |
| | A possible method to get this achievement is to get a sword on Crazy King - The Pit, and wait until two or more players are on the hill, lunge, kill them both, and kill any other players entering the hill. Another possible technique is to stay at the top of the purple lifts in Construct. If the sword runs out of energy you may still beat opponents with the hilt to earn the achievement. |
| | |
| | Another way to get this achievement is to play "Swords" on a relativly small map, such as Epitaph or Snowbound, since there is a greater chance that more people will be around the same area, aiding the difficulty of the 4 second time limit between each kill. |

| ==Tips==
| |
| * A possible method to get this achievement was to get an [[Energy Sword]] on Crazy King on the level [[The Pit]], and wait until two or more players were on the hill, lunge, kill them both and kill any other players entering the hill. Another possible technique was to stay at the top of the purple lifts in [[Construct]]. If the sword ran out of energy the player could still beat opponents with the hilt to earn the achievement.
| |
| * A great way to get it was in the playlist Living Dead on Halloween weekend. The playlist was ranked, and technically free-for-all, and zombies spawned with swords.
| |
| * Another way to get this achievement was to play "Swords" on a relatively small map, such as The Pit or [[Guardian (map)|Guardian]], since there was a greater chance that more people will be around the same area, aiding the difficulty of the four second time limit between each kill. Meleeing with the '''B''' button, rather than lunging, because would allow players to kill opponents faster. Many players in matchmaking didn't bother to melee with the sword, instead they just lunged, meaning that their attack is slower. This was also a great way to get the [[Overkill (achievement)|Overkill]] achievement.
| |
| *Players could unlock three achievements in one game by earning an Overkill with the [[Energy Sword]]. This will would grant the [[Triple Kill (Halo 3 achievement)|Triple Kill]], Steppin' Razor, and Overkill which would unlock all the Ascetic and Commando pieces.
