'''We're in for Some Chop''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] [[achievement]]. It was originally awarded for destroying an enemy [[Vehicles|vehicle]] with [[equipment]] (e.g. a [[Trip Mine]]) in a ranked [[playlist]] or in [[campaign]]. It is represented by a yellow eight-pointed star on top of a red eight-pointed star. On top of this is a red circle with a white dash across it (a "No Entry" sign). It is worth five [[Gamerscore]].

Following the shutdown of [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' online services on January 13, [[2022]], this achievement is no longer attainable in online multiplayer, and therefore can only be unlocked in the campaign.
This achievement was once impossible to acquire in Multiplayer. This changed with the addition of Ranked Big Team Battle.

At launch, the achievement was virtually impossible to acquire in multiplayer, as no online ranked playlists included the Trip Mine. This changed with the addition of Ranked Big Team Battle.
==Methods==
Here are a few ways to get the achievement.


==Methods==
*In [[Tsavo Highway (Level)|Tsavo Highway]], use a [[Plasma Pistol]] to disable a [[Brute Chopper]] while a Brute is driving it. Damage the chopper with a Fuel Rod gun or a melee, then throw a Trip Mine at the Chopper, and detonate the mine, or simply wait until the Chopper reactivates. When the Brute drives off, the mine will explode. Either way, the Chopper will be destroyed.

When the Brute drives off, the mine will explode. Either way, the Chopper will be destroyed.
*Alternatively, if a Brute Chopper is about to drive past you, throw a Trip Mine just as it's about to go past, then it will run over it and get blown to smithereens.

*Use a Trip Mine on any vehicle in the first Prowler battle on [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]].
*Use a Trip Mine on any vehicle in the first Prowler battle on [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]].
*Use a [[Power Drain]] on a [[Grunt]] while he's driving a {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}} ; the EMP will disable the Ghost, and the following explosion should kill the Grunt.
 
*In [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]], bring a Ghost to the area where the Jackals fight [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. There is a small tunnel that leads to a very large area with two Ghosts, a normal [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]], and two [[Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|Anti-Air Wraiths]]. Ghost-boost quickly to the left of the area right next to the tunnel's entrance, behind the upside-down [[Mongoose]] and [[Warthog]]. Drop a Trip Mine under a parked and unmanned Chopper, and run. If you get away fast enough, a Brute will enter the Chopper, activating its gravitational field and detonating the Trip Mine. If you stay too close, he will shoot you on foot instead of using the Chopper, running over the mine and detonating it on foot. If you do not damage the Chopper prior to placing the Trip Mine, the blast may not destroy it, so try shooting it a little with the Ghost on the way up but don't slow down.

*A relatively simple way to get this achievement is to jump onto the first Anti-Air Wraith in the campaign level [[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]] and melee until the gunner dies; then, simply place a Trip Mine beneath the Anti-Air Wraith and run away.

*The easiest way which requires no finesse is to play Tsavo Highway on Normal difficulty. Grab a Warthog and just drive past everything. When you get to the first barrier blocking the tunnel (where the convoy is hit) grab a Chopper, disable the barrier, and drive on. At the second break in the bridge (after the Covenant Cruiser jumps in) drive your Chopper carefully to the breaking point of the bridge. There should be a steel I-beam jutting out where you can drive your chopper over and take it into the next part of the level (The Broken Path). Just drive past everything else until you get to the 2 parked Choppers, 2 [[Brutes]], and an overturned Warthog. Grab the Trip Mine next to the Warthog and race over to the nearest [[Shade]]. Jump out and run straight towards it (getting in between the turrets). Bash the Shade itself until you see visible damage—alternate between meleeing the front of the Shade and its turrets. Once you see it take damage, drop the Trip Mine right below the Shade and run so the gunner turns. The Trip Mine should blow and you get your achievement—Shades count as vehicles.

*On Rat's Nest in multiplayer Big Team, Trip Mines spawned at the base of the stairs outside the back of the flag room’s big door. Warthogs, Mongooses, and a Ghost would circle the map, giving players a chance to play "chicken"; running in front of them, dropping the mine and hoping for the kill.

**Results are best when attacking Ghosts and Mongooses as they have less health than a Warthog.
**In a big team Slayer, you will have many attempts if you camp this position.
*You can also just get three friends to sit in a Warthog and let you destroy it with them inside.
 
'''Make sure you alert your teammates to any activated mines!'''

*If you manage to destroy a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab Tank]] with a Power Drain or a Trip Mine, it won't count towards the achievement. This might be an error, since the Scarab Tank is a vehicle, although an uncommon one.
