The best way to do it is in easy difficulty because you need only two canisters to take it down. Just elevate them with the telekinesis and throw them to the gunship.
Right before entering this area you will have a save point to the right making an obvious heads up that your approaching a 'boss sequence.' This is the starting area to Chapter 11 in DS2 after Issac used the Ishimura to pull back GovSec.
Using to run into the area get to the very forefront of the platform to where can position behind the crate. To the left of this crate is an explosive barrel; using TK pick this up and shoot it at the gunship. Immedietly after hitting the gunship look to the left on the wall and you will see a re-loadable explosive barrel dispenser. Grab one and throw it at the gunship. Wait a moment and repeat. It was 3 successful hits in Zealot mode to bring down the gunship.
You will get the achievement seconds after the 3rd barrel hits the gunship and a dialogue starts up. If you didn't, simply press start and restart checkpoint and attempt it again.

Missable
This is where the Gunship appears and you need to grab the Flammable Cylinders around you then throw them at the Gunship. There is no other way to take it down. It goes down in 3 hits.
If you didn't unlock the trophy after defeating the Gunship, restart from checkpoint and try again.
