How to unlock the My Boom Stick achievement in Dead Space 2 - Definitive Guide

The easiest place to do this is Chapter 3. You'll be chased by some pack and there will be a moving walkway that isn't working. Use the walkway to funnel the pack towards you and drop the alt-fire bomb there and you should see the achievement pop in a moment.

I just wanted to add that using Kenesis really helps at this spot. When they start chasing you hit them with Kenesis and it will keep them all in one pack.

I wonder why this doesn't work against babies? I'm on chapter four and I'm in the church near the alter and two necromorphs and a shit ton of babies come out and there were at least 10 swarming the bomb when it went off and I didn't get it.

An easy place I got it was during the final fight in Chapter 15. Lots of the "pack" enemies will spawn after you shoot the boss a few times. I just ran around for a little bit then turned around a corner and threw down a line gun mine with the alt-fire. I got the achievement the first time I tried. If you don't, they keep spawning here so there's plenty of opportunity if you avoid killing the boss.

Idk why this doesn't have any positive votes. This is by far the best place to get this because there is absolutely no way you can screw up getting the achievement here.

easiest way to get it,
plus everyone should have the line gun equiped for the final battle, makes it so much easier.

The easiest place, and first place I thought to do this was the first time you encounter a large group of "pack" (the small walking children necromorphs). Hit your alt fire (RB) while aiming down the sight of your gun in front of the group (there's more than 6), toss your stasis and watch the fireworks!

This is exactly where I did it. The good thing is you get a checkpoint right before this room so you can just get the achievement while taking damage and then restart at the last checkpoint and proceed as usual.

I got this done easly on Chapter 5, right after you're done encountering the Tormenter (just like in the demo). Once the Pack start spaming you with their sheer numbers, all you have to do is back up against the wall and wait for them to bunch up, then spam them with stasis and fire the Alt-Fire at the center. BOOM achievement unlocked. You can literally get about 7 Packs all together, but waiting to long will get you overrun. I hope this helps! :]

Please comment if you leave a negative, so that I can patch up any confusion. Unless you just hate with no reason.

Another easy place to do it is in the Thermal Conduit Access room in chapter 13 (the one with three floors). There is a save point outside the room, so you can just retry if you fail to get the cheevo. There are so many Crawlers and other enemies here that you probably won't need more than one or two tries, though.

Another good location for this achievement is in Chapter 6, in the Day Care Gymnasium after hacking the terminal to put the tables down. Through a combination of stasis and maneuvering, it's doable.

Finally, for those of you like myself who didn't start gunning for this achievement until very late in the game, the final boss fight causes several of the toddler-type enemies to spawn, which, in a pinch and with stasis, can net you this achievement last-minute.

This is easily done whenever you’re faced with The Pack (necromoprhs that look like kids) as they come in huge numbers, wait for 6 of them to come very closely and Stasis them, then fire the Line Gun’s Alt-Fire which is a bomb that will detonate in 3-4 seconds, killing anything nearby and hope you take 6 of them out. You can do this in Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 when you come across The Pack.

First you need to purchase the Line Gun from the store. The Line Gun's secondary fire shoots a timed mine. Target a large group of necromorphs and shoot it into them and watch limbs fly! Upon first entering the "mall" of Chapter 3, you will hear a "music box" begin to play and then be attacked by a large group of the Pack. Shot the timed mine and lure the group into it. NOTE: Keep your Line Gun in your inventory, as you will need it again for "Clean Cut" in Chapter 5.

The easiest way to do this is during the battle with Nicole. When the kids are running, just shoot in front of you and everyone around you will explode.

in my opinion, it’s much easier to get closer to the end of chapter 5, after the tripod attacks you, a bunch of kids will appear, about 20 of them. and if it doesn’t work out (which is unlikely), then you can load the checkpoint and you will appear right before these kids attack ))
