Name Description How To
Individual Achievement Complete Crucible matches with an individual score of at least 1500 points. Win two matches with a personal score over 1,500. I would recommend either Rift and being the Spark Runner. One dunk will net you that score. Or play Clash or Control, and make sure you get kills, which will be about 15 kills pending assists, headshots, or control point captures.
Making an Impact Win 7 matches. Invite some firends, hop on your favorite /r/Fireteams site, create a Fireteam, communicate, win. Above all, have fun.
Crucible Combat Win one game in three different Crucible game modes. Play and win 3 different games, in 3 different games in 3 different Crucible modes for example you could win 1 control match, 1 rift match and 1 rumble.
Featured Matches Earn points in any featured playlist. Crucible wins are worth 3 points. Completing a match is worth 1 point. Win at all costs, Guardian! Don't leave matches before they end. You could miss out on 3 points otherwise!
Returning Victor Complete the Crucible Daily on 3 different days. Play the Daily Crucible Match, 3 times on 3 different days. You do not need to win for this to count.
The True Meaning of War Complete all 5 of Shaxx's weekly bounties in one week. Complete a total of 5 of Shaxx's Weekly Bounties. Must have this bounty on your character BEFORE completing the other 5 bounties.

Arcite 99-40 Bounties

Full Auto Complete matches in any playlist with a minimum of 6 Auto Rifle kills. Grab your favorite Auto Rifle. The Monte Carlo works pretty good for this, or just about any Auto Rifle will work.

Ballistic Scalpel Complete matches in any playlist with a minimum of 6 Scout Rifle kills. Grab your favorite Scout Rifle. Boolean Gemini works great for this, or just about any Scout Rifle will work. Hop in a match and win 3 matches with 6+ Scout Rifle kills in each match. I recommend either Clash or Control. Play it safe and work with your teammates. Be sure to steal their kills.
Bullet Grouping Expert Complete a match in any playlist with a minimum of 9 Pulse Rifle kills. Load up into Control, sit back and watch the capture points and rack up kills with your favourite Pulse Rifle.
Ballistic Scalpel Expert Complete a match in any playlist with a minimum of 9 Scout Rifle kills. Grab your favorite Scout Rifle. Boolean Gemini works great for this. Rack up 9 kills with Scout Rifles in a single match, then win that match.
