Sandbox Skull (achievement)

The Sandbox Skull is an Achievement worth 25 Gamerscore points gained by finding a hidden skull on the map, Sandbox. The skull is actually far out of the boundries of Sandbox. So one has to go to Forge mode, and build Tube Pieces, Shield Doors and deploy Bubble Shields to reach out for the skull. The direction to build the "Sandbox Skull Tunnel" is between the two Guardian towers to the right of the sun, or alternatively you could get an Assault Rifle and aim it around until it points South (Down).

How to
Getting to the Skull may be difficult because the watchtower will destroy the player if he or she goes outside the playing area. An easy way to get it is to set up a teleporter and fly the receiver the the right side of the tower then immediately activate a bubble shield, this will keep you alive to grab the skull, or if need be go to edit mode and get another bubble shield throw it closer to the skull and then grab it and you get the achievement.

Another way is to collect a Bubble Shield, fly to the skull in monitor, then quickly drop the Bubble Shield over the skull. It's possible to Overload the map to disable the watchtowers in order to safely get there without a hassle.

Trivia

 * One solution is to have a team mate assist. The guardians only attack one of you at a time, so have one camp in the tube to draw the guardians' attention while you get the skull, then give it to your team mate.
 * Another effective means of obtaining the skull is to have two partners hold up shield doors against the guardian lasers while you go and retrieve the skull.
 * The easiest way to get the skull would be to disable the watchtowers by using Overload Glitch. Then you could just walk over and get it.
