This achievement may be acquired easily in the campaign level ''[[Sierra 117]]''. At the river area, it is easy to kill the Brutes and Grunts repeatedly with a Needler. Another good area to get this achievement is the [[Yanme'e]] attack on ''[[The Storm]]''. If you kill one of the [[Drones]] holding a Type-33 GML, you can quite easily shower the remaining [[Drones]] with the projectiles. Another level this achievement can easily be accomplished is on ''[[The Covenant]]'', due to the many needlers dropped by Grunts and Drones. On the level Halo, you may complete the achievement using Needlers obtained from [[Flood Combat Forms]].
