**Kizingo Boulevard achievements: the tank run, the Wraith and the stolen Banshee**

**Kizingo Boulevard achievements: the tank run, the Wraith and the stolen Banshee** *MCC. Mission spoilers.* Kizingo has a straightforward set of completion targets and one awkward little vehicle trick. Don't confuse the trick with normal Banshee hijacking. You are playing an ODST, and getting into this particular aircraft depends on a carefully timed interaction with its pilot. **The mission targets** - **Kizingo Boulevard:** complete the mission on any difficulty in MCC. - **An Artist's Canvas:** finish under **9:00**. - **Son of a Gun:** finish above **18,000 points**. - **Shiny...:** pilot a Banshee on this mission. **Does Whatever a Spartan Can?** is also convenient here, although its Wraith-melee requirement is not exclusive to Kizingo. The original Xbox 360 award **Both Tubes**, for ten rocket kills on this mission, is not an additional MCC achievement. Neither is the original version's 75,000-point target the number you need for Son of a Gun. **Does Whatever a Spartan Can?** Start Kizingo on Easy and turn around toward the opening Wraith. Get close enough to use the boarding interaction, then repeatedly use **melee**, not the grenade-planting action, until the Wraith is destroyed. For a clean attempt, don't soften the tank with rockets or gunfire first. Community reports include failed unlocks after other damage was mixed into the attempt. Boarding from the front and relying on the punches keeps the method straightforward. The gunner and nearby enemies can still hurt you. Easy is a recommendation to make that approach manageable, not a difficulty restriction in the achievement. If the tank has already been destroyed by the surrounding fight, restart the opening rather than searching the entire mission for another convenient setup. **Shiny...: preserve the aircraft** Progress to the plaza beyond the Kizingo Boulevard gate. A Marine's Gauss position and the roundabout help identify the area. Clear dangerous ground enemies and vehicles, but avoid firing your Scorpion at the Banshees. The documented method is to draw a Banshee into the uphill back-alley area until its turning behavior leaves it caught low against the street or a wall. This is an AI-positioning trick, not a guaranteed scripted landing. You may have to reposition and let it make another approach. When it is trapped, get a view of the pilot's exposed feet from behind/below the cockpit. Aim at the **pilot**, not the aircraft body. Fire controlled small-arms shots while already holding your configured **interact/enter-vehicle** button. The aim is to enter as the pilot dies, before the aircraft is lost. Don't assume a guide's controller button matches your layout. Check the actual binding. Also don't substitute a melee strike or a rocket: either can turn a fragile opportunity into a destroyed aircraft. Marines can shoot the Banshee before the setup is ready. Keep the attempt away from their firing lanes where possible. This guide does not require killing allies to protect the aircraft. If the available Banshees are destroyed, restart an appropriate earlier section for another attempt. Because the lure and pilot angle are fussy, do this on a dedicated visit. An hour spent trying to make an aircraft catch on a wall is not a sensible addition to a nine-minute run. **Nine minutes and eighteen thousand points** For **An Artist's Canvas**, start at the beginning with the timer visible. Easy is eligible. Know the sequence of streets, the gate, the plaza and the point where you leave the tank. Be decisive about the required fights, particularly the final defense, rather than trying to drive past every enemy and hoping the mission ends. For **Son of a Gun**, use campaign scoring and exploit the Scorpion's ability to eliminate occupied enemy vehicles efficiently. Choose a difficulty and scoring modifiers you can actually survive. A large multiplier is not useful if repeated deaths erase the benefit. Don't waste the score run on an elaborate Banshee acquisition. Keep the tank healthy, clear worthwhile enemies, bring useful weapons into the foot defense and finish with a margin over 18,000. Older empty-vehicle farming advice is not a reliable substitute for the current MCC scoring rules. Your final check is simple: mission completed, time recorded, final score recorded, Wraith-melee award checked and Banshee award checked. A flying vehicle on screen is only proof of Shiny... once your achievement list actually registers it.
