One more way is plain and simple and is to have the [[Spartan Laser]] on maps that contain [[Type-32 Ghost]]s, and all you would need to do is charge the laser and get the right moment for when someone [[Boarding|boards]] the [[Type-32 Ghost]], using the Laser to destroy the [[Type-32 Ghost]] will result in the driver and the boarder being "Lasered".

''Note'': This is only obtainable on [[Avalanche (level)|Avalanche]], [[Standoff]] and [[Rat's Nest]], as [[Ghost Town]] does not have a Warthog (but it has several Mongooses) and the [[Sandtrap]] variant in the playlist is "FFA Modified".
 
===Method 5===
On a standard Slayer match in Lone Wolves, simply wait for two people to start fighting and follow them whilst charging your laser. When the two go to beat each other down, as people often do, a well-timed shot should be able to hit both of them regardless of what angle you have on them. This method is actually not all that hard, but requires you to be in the right place at the right time.

Sometimes in [[Oddball]] or [[King of the Hill]], players will team up to hunt down the objective. This is a good time because you can charge up the laser and hit two players.

A good way to get this achievement is to find two people that are away from the game and line them up and fire your laser, or you can find one person away and get a friend to stand in front of them for you.

This method would only work on [[Avalanche (level)|Avalanche]], [[Standoff]] and [[Rat's Nest]], as [[Ghost Town]] did not have a Warthog (but it has several Mongooses) and the [[Sandtrap]] variant in the playlist was "FFA Modified" and did not qualify.
Sometimes, this achievement is scored by randomized luck and fortune when you try to kill one person and another comes in the way of the other for a close-combat duel. Of course, this is dependent on nothing, but a straight-shot from the Spartan Laser and a great deal of luck.
There are also many players in the Legendary Brawl playlist that help each other get this achievement.

Two for One is a Halo 3 multiplayer achievement. It was awarded for killing two enemies with one Spartan Laser shot in a ranked free for all playlist (i.e. Lone Wolves). The achievement awarded the player 5 Gamerscore.

It is represented by a white circle with a red star. On top, two skulls and a Spartan Laser silhouette.

Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.[1][2]

Walkthrough

Method 1

One way to get this achievement was to use the Spartan Laser on King of the Hill gametypes, where everyone would be grouped inside the hill and not able to pay attention to a laser charging up in the background.

Method 2

Another way was to have the Spartan Laser on maps that contain Type-32 Ghosts, and all the player would need to do is charge the laser and wait for someone to board the Ghost. Using the Laser to destroy the Ghost would result in the driver and the boarder being "Lasered".

Method 3

Some players were able to find other players who would help them boost the achievement.

Method 4

In the Double EXP Weekend playlist Legendary Brawl, occasionally there would be two players on a Warthog, which granted players an opportunity to earn the achievement.

This method would only work on Avalanche, Standoff and Rat's Nest, as Ghost Town did not have a Warthog (but it has several Mongooses) and the Sandtrap variant in the playlist was "FFA Modified" and did not qualify.

Trivia

  • It was not necessary for the laser itself to travel through both of enemies, just that the single shot killed two people.
  • Due to the difficulty of getting this achievement, many players refer it as one of the most difficult achievements to obtain among the original 40 achievements.
