**Halo 5: Unconfirmed — seven intel recordings, Blind, and the co-op Gungoose challenge**

**Halo 5: Unconfirmed — seven intel recordings, Blind, and the co-op Gungoose challenge** *Mission spoilers. Halo 5: Guardians.* I'd separate the collecting from a difficult completion attempt here. The Prowler fight, the quarry snipers and the Warden already give you plenty to deal with. Easy is fine for this mission's collectibles and its two special achievements; Maverick is the one that needs co-op. **Seven intel stops, in travel order** These numbers describe the route, not necessarily their position in the game's recording menu. 1. **The History of Meridian 3/6:** At the landing area, circle left toward the yellow shipping containers. Search the rubble beside them for the radio. 2. **Message from Apogee Station 1/3:** Inside the first building, check the waiting area before going outside to fight. The pad is on a chair off the main stair route. 3. **Drill Operator's Personal Log 2/2:** After the first outdoor battle, enter the next building and climb upstairs. Follow the upper walkway around to the seating area for the pad. 4. **Drill Operator's Personal Log 1/2:** On top of Blue Team's Prowler. Use the adjacent elevated platform to jump onto the ship, then check toward its rear. 5. **Message from Apogee Station 2/3:** In the sniper quarry, before the large mine doors, break through the side ventilation shutter. The small room contains the pad and a Railgun. 6. **The History of Meridian 4/6:** Inside the mine, climb the rising pipe on the right and jump across to the raised ledge. Check the back corner for the radio. 7. **Message from Apogee Station 3/3:** Before dropping toward the Forerunner installation, take the left staircase to the raised platform. The pad is on a container near the large doorway. The Prowler recording and the Prowler's story terminal are different interactions. Inspecting the terminal to continue the mission does not replace climbing onto the ship for the collectible. Likewise, the room with the Railgun is not the hidden overhead passage containing Blind. Use Artemis while you're searching. Once you've found a recording, check the mission's collected count instead of assuming a nearby story interaction counted as intel. **Blind: look above the mine entrance** After the outdoor quarry, enter the mine passage and stop near the rack of SMGs and Shotguns. Turn back toward the stairs and climb onto the crates on the little landing. Look overhead for the pipes and the flat surface above them. Jump and clamber up, then crouch along that upper space. A small passage opens on the left; follow it to the skull. This is an overhead crawlspace, not a long detour into the later lava chamber. If you've reached the large vehicle firefight, you've gone beyond the turn you wanted. Collecting Blind unlocks the modifier; you don't need to activate it. Turning it on removes the HUD and visible weapon/hands, which is obviously not helpful when you're trying to learn the rest of this route. **Waiting on You: let the repair actually finish** The requirement is to kill an enemy in Unconfirmed **after its armor has been repaired**. A damaged Knight near the Prowler provides a clear opportunity. - Leave its Watcher alive. - Shoot a glowing shoulder weak point until the armor breaks. - Stop attacking that target and let the Watcher repair it. - Once the repair has completed, kill the repaired enemy. Killing the Watcher after the repair stops it undoing your work again, but the achievement's important target is the enemy it repaired. Don't eliminate the Knight during the repair animation and assume the attempt counted. In co-op, tell the other players what you're doing before the fight. Otherwise, someone doing the perfectly sensible thing—shooting the support drone first—will remove the opportunity. Solo, keep your squad occupied away from the particular enemy you're preserving. **Maverick: two people, one vehicle, thirty kills** Inside the drilling facility, the large loading area has Gungooses. Get a human co-op partner onto the same vehicle before clearing the enemies there. The driver can use the mounted weapons while the passenger fires and throws grenades. The target is **30 combined enemy kills while teamed up in a vehicle in Unconfirmed co-op**. Use Easy if you're here specifically for the achievement. Keep the vehicle on the broad floor, face the incoming Crawlers and Soldiers, and turn carefully rather than driving off the edge while concentrating on the counter. Don't clear the room with the automated turrets and then wonder where the thirty enemies went. Arrange this attempt before the fight. If other human players are present, ask them to leave targets for the vehicle pair. Older guides describe getting it with an AI passenger in a solo-created co-op lobby. Reports on that shortcut conflict, so I'd use an actual partner rather than build a plan around it. **Before you move on** - Seven intel recordings collected. - Blind physically picked up. - Waiting on You completed after a finished armor repair. - Maverick completed with the shared vehicle in co-op, if you're tackling it now. - **Stolen Gauntlet** earned by finishing Unconfirmed, on any difficulty. You still have the Warden after the mining section. Keep a useful weapon and finish the mission if you're also recording a difficulty completion.
