How to unlock the Work Smarter, Not Harder achievement in Control - Definitive Guide

First, you'll need to unlock the Surge weapon form for the Service Weapon. This is done by selecting 'Astral Constructs' at control points. If you are lacking any materials, you can go to the lore section of the pause menu to see which sector a material is in.

As for this achievement, it's very easy. Just shoot a sticky round onto any throwable object while in combat, then throw the object at an enemy and detonate the round while the object is in proximity of the target (works best on stronger targets so that the launch doesn't kill them - if they are killed by the launch I am unsure whether or not this will pop, as they won't actually be damaged by the detonation.)

If I’m not mistaken, I got it by blowing up a Wall of similar to those that protect hidden areas , I just gave it the three charges , Lit them and the cheevo popped. There where no blue particles to heal behind that wall so I assume I didn’t even kill an enemy with it

Sadly this doesn't appear to work on the giant Hartman monster you encounter in the central Active Investigations area (when you have to plug in power cores around the room to get all the lights on and scare it off). So I guess it needs to be a strong, but not invincible, enemy :(

Very easy achievement. Simply shoot a Surge round into an object which can be launched and launch the object at an enemy. It’s unclear whether you have to KILL the enemy but generally speaking this is pretty easy... Just be sure to stand back a little more than I did laugh

Once you've reached the control point in Operations Corridor, you'll have enough materials to unlock Surge (please see "Surge of Power"). From here, just shoot a bench/desk/box with the Surge, it and launch it at an enemy; make sure it hits them for this to count. Also, you don't have to kill them with it for it to register.

Using “Throw”, we attach a grenade to any object that can be grabbed with telekinesis and throw it at the enemy.

The hit does not count when meeting Hartman for the first time at the elevator; it only works on normal opponents
