You can track your progress by pressing cn_start, then browse to Challenges -> Weapons -> Heavy Pistol. Select the rifle you want to track and hit cn_X.

The heavy pistol challenges required for this achievement are:

Blastback I

Any advice if it is glitching on me? I have all three completed and I'm on the second level (Blastback II for instance) of challenge but no achievement.

Many people are having issues with these not unlocking for some reason. Best bet is to wait for EA to fix it unfortunately. At least you know that it tracked correctly so it should not be hard for them to grant the achievements retrospectively.

There are three heavy pistols in Anthem, and for this achievement, you'll need to get 50 kills with each. You can see your progress by pressing cn_back, then cn_RB over to Challenges, scroll down to weapons and then to heavy pistols. Sometimes, you'll need to press cn_A twice, then cn_B to get the game to show all the challenges available. For the first challenges, all enemies count the same, so focus on the weakest enemies available.

You'll want to make sure that the weapon you are using is close in power level to the rest of your gear. Any newly collected or crafted weapon will do. It can be hard to get a specific weapon to drop. You may just have to keep killing bosses and replaying missions until you get the weapon you need.

All three heavy pistols function just like you'd expect. They are good for getting headshots at short to medium distances. If you are having trouble getting kills with a specific one, take it into freeplay, and kill some wildlife.
