Explosive weapons can be identified by the yellow explosion symbol in your inventory (similar to the trophy art image). You can also do explosive damage by shooting the yellow barrels or spawning a vehicle with a rocket launcher from the CATCH-A-RIDE.
When you use an explosive weapon, yellow numbers will appear around an enemy to indicate that you are causing explosive damage.
Scotty
Simply kill 25 enemies with an explosive weapon.
Throughout the game you will find weapons that have an elemental effect added to their damage. These can be Corrosive, Shock, Incendiary or Explosive. The weapons you find are almost exclusively random though some are drops from bosses and are the same every time. Being this as it may, you may find these elemental weapons early on in the game and can start to work on these achievements, otherwise you will need to wait until you find the appropriate elemental weapons.
An example of a guaranteed drop weapon with each element, should you need them;
- The Clipper, Incendiary. Drops from Nine Toes.
- Krom's Sidearm, Shock. Drops from Krom.
- The Meat Grinder, Explosive. Drops from Jaynis Kobb.
- The Blister, Corrosive. Reward for completing the mission 'Like A Moth To Flame'.
Terminator, and, Vuule, Archavia
Elemental explosive weapons can be recognised by the Yellow "Explosion" symbol on the bottom right of the item description. The fastest way to get this trophy is to wait until you get access to the Catch-A-Ride Station then go nuts with the Rocket Launcher Runner. Environmental damage from the Yellow barrels that are scattered throughout the game also count towards this trophy, as do grenades with explosive mods.
