How to unlock the C-Section achievement in Dead Space 2 - Definitive Guide
Once they've been knocked back, QUICKLY STASIS them.
Then charge the Beam and kill the necromorph. This doesn't mean you have to rush to pull it off and you'll get the achievement much more easily.
In this video it will show you how to get "My boom stick","going for distances" ,"taste of your own medicine","c-section" ,"elevator action"(this is a secret achievement) and "collect peng"
But we're here for the "c-section" achievement. Its pretty easy achievement to get all you have to is buy the "contact beam" for 11,000 credits and buy one pack of ammo just in case you mess up. Find a slasher and quickly use the alt-fire(RT+RB) to knock it down and quickly charge up and discharge the beam before the slasher gets back up.
Cheerio everyone
The spitting necros work best but any standard walking necro can easily work on casual.
I played on casual until I got to wear Isaac sees the ships taking off through the huge windows (ch. 2) A few minutes later you'll come across you're 1st work bench, PASS IT UP. Go through the door, kill a few necros and there's a save station right there to the left. Save. Change difficulty to Zealot, go back to the bench and unload all the power nodes from Contact Beam. I reinserted for capacity and reload because I wasn't sure it would work but it did the 1st try so you don't even need to do this.
Go back and PASS by the save station and go through the door where you'll be in a hallway. To the right there's some necros terrorizing citizens through a busted wall, you'll see one morph and then walk off to the left of the screen. Turn back and face the hallway, about 15 seconds later that same necro comes for you. Use your Alt beam then charge and kill, you dont even need to stasis it 1st. Then if you're going for more mop ups like I was, just reload the check point and it'll take you back to where I 1st told you to save and your Contact will be back to full upgraded and back on whatever difficulty you were playing on. Good luck, hope this helps. It took less than 5 minutes when I got to the area.
Pressing + with the Contact Beam equipped will make Isaac drive the gun onto the floor and create a sort of shockwave that will knock enemies in proximity down. Thereafter, quickly press and hold + to charge a ball of energy and decimate the enemy with your Primary Fire. Try to do this before fully upgrading your Contact Beam as it may be too powerful and kills enemies instantly when fully upgraded.

The schematic can be found in Chapter 7, after collecting the Peng treasure in the 'Main Frame' room. You will need to shoot or smash the five circuits in order to proceed. After destroying these circuits, proceed down the hallway towards the Solar Array control pod and you will eventually come to a door that requires a power node. The schematic is inside. Buy it and equip it at the next store.
Use the contact beam’s secondary fire to shoot at a necromorph, causing them to get knocked down. Then use stasis to freeze them as they will stand up very quickly without it. This should give you plenty of time to use the contact beam’s primary fire mode to finish them off. I recommend you do it in a smaller room because the blast from secondary fire can send the necromorph quite a distance making it difficult to get to it before it gets back to its' feet.
