How to unlock the Pyromancer achievement in Brink - Definitive Guide

~#~ Pyromancer ~#~

This achievement requires you to score a kill with the Engineers Pyro Mine.

First of all, you'll need to purchase the Pyro Mine skill and equip it to one of your D-Pad buttons. With that done, it's a simple case of finding the most effective spots to employ your new incendiary.

The Pyro Mine's explosion is noticeably less damaging than a normal mine. Due to this, it is much better deployed in a confined space, where the small, lasting area of effect is much more effective. Great places to deploy your mine are something you will learn with very little effort during play, but placing them near Primary Objectives (offset them slightly, so they are activated (not just stood-on) by approaching enemies) is a near-guaranteed way of scoring the one kill for this achievement.

Placing Incendiary Mines is a skill made up of two others - using Mines to block off essential/unavoidable routes, and using Caltrops to warn/weaken against invading enemies. With a little experimentation you're sure to find a great place to set this up, just remember to keep your foe distracted so they burn before they can flee!

Also easily doable in the Aquarium as either side; there are plenty of chokepoints around the door that needs to be destroyed or anywhere along the traitors path.

An easy way to get this achievment is to go on the map terminal as the resistance. When you get to the mainframe you should see a small hatch directly ahead, most of the time 2 or 3 bots will come through there at a time and all you have to do is place the mine a little ways in so its contained and not so easy to escape from.

Similar to the landmine but with fire damage. Select using and hold to place. Most effective placed next to objectives, especially in doorways. This will unlock if it kills an ememy when triggered.

You will need to be Rank 5 level 20 and use one credit to be able to use the Pyro Mine. From the Main Menu > go to Characters & Weapons > then Abilities. Under Engineer Abilities there will be the Pyro Mines Ability to the far right in the middle. You will need to use one credit to get this one. You get one credit every time you level up.

You will need to be an engineer. Since this a mine you will need to find a location that the enemy will be coming from as often as possible. That could be a place you are defending or near the base. Press and then hold to plant the Pyro mine. Just wait for an enemy to walk over it.

This this a flame like mine you will need to damage the enemy a little first and hope that the mine kills them off. You can also plant a normal mine along side it and have it counter act with each other. This trophy make take some time to pop.
