Kill an enemy Nanosuit soldier with a Strength punch

17.1%

How to unlock the Knock-off Knockout achievement in Crysis - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you will need to kill an enemy soldier that is wearing a nanosuit with a "power punch"

To do this, you will first need to use your fists (not the gun melee attack), hold down Y and press down twice to equip your hands, then run to an enemy wearing a nanosuit, press RT until he's dead, cheevo unlocked

The first time you encounter the nanosuit-wearing enemies is on the mission titled "Relic", after the excavation area when you are proceeding to the landing zone to be evacuated via VTOL. The objective will be to secure the landing zone, and several nano-enemies will arrive. They are easily spotted either by their ability to cloak, or their bright glowing eyes.

*NOTE* I had to kill several nanosuit enemies with a power punch for this achievement to unlock, good luck!

hmm found this one kinda glitchy. Only got it on my 4th attempt when I deactivated armor suit before doing it (might have nothing to do with it though :) )

Crap, no wonder I couldn't seem to get it. I was trying to rifle butt the back of their heads. Completely forgot that you can select your fists.

Anyway, that graveyard extraction zone you mention that you first run into them is at the end of the level Relic.

I did the same thing lol. Used my gun melee before realizing that you can actually switch to fists.

You can do this on Level 6 "Awakening" very quick.

Take your way to the landing zone. There is a Nanosuit soldier going around with a Minigun. Go into cloak mode (RB) and sneak up behind him. Equip your fists (hold Y and press down on the D-pad two times) and punch him a few times - Achievement unlocked!

Note: I deactivated cloak mode when I was near enough to punch him - I don't know if this solution works when you are still in cloak mode.

Worked great for me. I had to kill 2 nanos before it unlocked but this is probably the quickest way to do it. Just run straight for the green zone, kill the 2 guys on the right behind the red barrel and you should find 2 to 4 nanos appear to your left smile

While the other solutions are good, there are a couple of errors.
First, yes you do need to not be holding a weapon (or grenades). Select the hands by pressing Y and then down on the D-pad. Some solutions are saying right trigger to hit but after 10+ attempts, this did not seem to work. After looking up the control layout (Options, Controller Settings, Player Controls) it shows that for a strength melee, press and hold on the right joystick. First time I tried down on the right stick and got the achievement.

The confusion over a Strength punch might be why people are thinking this is buggy.

Also, the best place to get this is Awakening at the coal mines. I followed the tracks and went behind the buildings. climbed 2 sets of ladders, crossed to the next building on the grain belt and jumped onto the catwalk that has the chain gun. At the bottom of the stairs there is a nanosuit enemy that patrols the front catwalk turning just at the stairs. If you go down the stairs cloaked, you can take him by surprise with one or two Strength punches. Very easy and no shooting required once you get to the building (assuming that you keep in stealth).

Relic & Awakening are the levels you can possibly get this trophy on. Equip to your fists and just kill an nanosuit soldier and the trophy is yours! Here is a video (play near the end) on Relic to see how to get it.

You will first see nano soldiers when you clear the extraction point for the VTOL. You probably don't have to do what I did, but its the safe way. Pull out your fists, then hold the  to use the Strength Punch. It may take 2 full punches to finally kill him, so be warned. This is also tad glitchy.

The first time (and the best time) to get this trophy is the first time you are introduced to the enemy Korean Nanosuit at the end of Chapter 3. You will need to kill 3-4 of them in order to get an extraction from the area. They can go invisible but it is still easy to see them. Enter armor mode and hold triangle to equip your fists. Run up to the enemy and press R1 or R3 to punch with either hand. Just keep pressing either button until the enemy is on the ground dead and you'll receive this trophy shortly after.
