How to unlock the Down in Front! achievement in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Definitive Guide
I had a few problems when i activated my turret in front of the higher-leveled skags, as it took me quite more uses of that.
Once you reach level 5, you will unlock the action skill. Find some low-level enemies outside of Fyrestone (Skags are perfect), take down the health of a few of them by shooting until they only have a small amount of HP, and then press to trigger the skill.
Rinse and repeat until you've killed 15 enemies and then the trophy will unlock.
You will need to be level 5 before you can unlock any characters action skill.
The Soldier's action skill has you throw out a turret that can fight alongside you in combat for a short while, as well as provide you with a small shield to hide behind. You can invest in skills to improve the lethality of your turret in the Infantry tree with skills such as 'Sentry' to improve it's damage and 'Guided Missile' to add a guided missile to it's arsenal, among others.
This achievement can be attempted as soon as you reach level 5 however and should be done on the weaker early game enemies to unlock it as soon as possible.
You will gain access to your action skill when you level up to level 5 and to use it, press . The Soldier's action skill is his Scorpio Turret which has a fair range, can shoot at a flat 180 degree angle and up about 20-25 degrees, it also has a shield barrier up front to protect you whilst you're crouching. When you first get it the turret isn't very powerful so we recommend weakening an enemy first then letting the turret finish it off.
