===Method 1===
One way to get this Achievement is to grab the Spartan Laser on [[Snowbound]] under the first base, head towards the back of the cavern which is the main "Arena" that everyone usually flocks to and make sure only the muzzle is sticking out of the energy door shield. Since more than likely all the players will be here and usually only take the tunnel entrances, they'll be too busy fighting each other to notice you charging up your laser from the posterior of the cavern.
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.

Another way to get this achievement is to also use the [[Spartan Laser]] on [[King of the Hill]] gametypes, where everyone will be grouped inside the hill and not able to pay attention to a laser charging up in the background.
Another way was to have the [[Spartan Laser]] on maps that contain {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s, and all the player would need to do is charge the laser and wait for someone to [[Naval boarding|board]] the Ghost. Using the Laser to destroy the Ghost would result in the driver and the boarder being "Lasered".


===Method 3===
===Method 3===
One more way is plain and simple and is to have the [[Spartan Laser]] on maps that contain [[Ghost]]s, and all you would need to do is charge the laser and get the right moment for when someone [[Boarding|board]]s the [[Ghost]], using the Laser to destroy the [[Ghost]] will result in the driver and the boarder being "Lasered". Although this can be a quite difficult and time consuming tactic.
Some players were able to find other players who would help them boost the achievement.


===Method 4===
===Method 4===
And of course another way is, to ask somebody to help you with the achievement during a match. Simple (then again, potential interference from the players who are not there to help you can still make it not so simple). Beware, this is known as Boosting, and can get you banned from Halo 3 by Bungie.
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.
 
===Method 5===
In the [[Double EXP Weekend]] playlist [[Legendary Brawl]], occasionally there may be two players on a [[Warthog]].  When you spot it, be quick to destroy them with a Spartan Laser as you're probably not the only one that doesn't have the achievement.
 
''Note'': This is only obtainable on [[Avalanche (Level)|Avalanche]], [[Standoff (Level)|Standoff]] and [[Rat's Nest (Level)|Rat's Nest]], as [[Ghost Town (Level)|Ghost Town]] does not have a Warthog and the [[Sandtrap (Level)|Sandtrap]] variant in the playlist is "FFA Modified".
 
===Method 6===
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.
 
===Method 7===
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.
 
===Method 8===
Watch a target and wait for someone to melee them. ''(make sure you have your laser charged before this occurs)''


== Luck ==
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.

H3 Achievement Two for One.png
5 Gamerscore

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[edit]

Method 1[edit]

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[edit]

Another way was to have the Spartan Laser on maps that contain Karo'etba-pattern 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[edit]

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

Method 4[edit]

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[edit]

  • 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.
