How to unlock the It's a trap! achievement in Brink - Definitive Guide

As stated in previous solutions, you have to be rank 5 (lvl 20) to even purchase this ability for the soldier. Once you do, here's a quick way to get this one done. Start a freeplay match with the following settings.

Freeplay
Map: Aquarium: (security side)
Min/Max players: 1
Solo
Difficulty: easy

Start the match, and make sure you are a soldier. Head to the door you have to destroy with the charge, and set up all three satchel charges around the door. I recommend one on either side of the door and one on the ground. Watch your back as you set this up, the bot should be on his way. Once you have it all set up, plant the charge on the objective door, and hide off to the side. Wait for the bot to run up and attempt to disarm the bomb, and blow all your charges at once.

To be able to use the satchel charge you must unlock it in the soldier tab of the abilities menu. You must be RANK 5 in order to purchase it. Then, simply kill an enemy with it to get the achievement. You can place up to 3 charges at once and must be manually exploded using the action button when they're equipped (hold RB) or by interacting directly with the charges from a short distance away (holding X). Be careful where you place them because they are pretty easy to see and can be destroyed by enemy fire. As TOO SlainSeraph mentions in the comments below, the damage from the charges are very weak so it would be best to explode them near an opponent who is already damaged.
Cheers!

Should also be noted that the damage from a single charge blows. It'll take several to kill someone if they aren't already heavily damaged.

They stay if you die, too. I planted some around, got killed (not on purpose), then respawned and used the RB to detonate all of them and the achievement popped. I got kind of lucky, but it's something to note.

This is the second achievement for this game that silent shot has no idea what he's talking about.

I did this first time in a private match on Terminal. I set the difficulty to easy and to 1 bot. I started the game and put the charges by the hackable terminal and ran outside waiting for the NPC. He literally ignored the charges and ran to start hacking.

Reach rank 5 and purchase the soldier's Satchel Charge ability.

Place a few charges on either a Supply Command Post or a Health Command post then capture the command post. The enemy bots will religiously come to the command post. Before they do, use the D-Pad to enable the satchel charge ability, then when the bots arrive, press RB to detonate the charges.

This approach is best because you can do it on any level and bots will always come to capture the command post you've traped. You'll most likely get a double or tripple kill too.

Required Class: Soldier
Required Ability: Satchel Charge
Ability Unlocked: Rank 5

You can plant up to 3 at a time but you can kill an enemy with one depending on how close they are and what body type they are using. Press and hold where you want to plant the charge. It will explode if it is short or a grenade goes off near it. You can also make it explode when looking at it and the icon above it indicates you can detonate.

This is for the Soldier that you will be playing as in the game. You will need to reach Rank 5 in the game. Once you have purchased this ability, head into a game and press the right d-pad () to take out you Satchel Charges, you can plant up to 3 charges with the button before blowing them up with the button.
