How to unlock the Dropping Acid achievement in Dead Space 3 - Definitive Guide

Another easy way i found was to equip acid bath onto a ripper blade, every kill counts towards this and then just switch to a electric charge for another achievement :)

this worked amazing for me.
the best place to do this is at the start of Ch. 9.
you get 26 kills quick, play until it saves your progress.
repeat.

Worked perfect. Did it when you need to reassemble rosseta. 2 batches of feeders (took 10 mins)

Fantastic solution. Had problems getting credit for the kill with other weapons, this worked every time.

Ditto, problem getting credit. Equipped it to a ripper and kill count increased quickly. Thumbs up.

You must equip a weapon with the Acid Bath attachment. This can be crafted or obtained through loot. Then simply kill 50 enemies with the weapon until the achievement unlocks. You can track your progress toward the achievement in the Options menu.

There is one Acid Bath in Chapter 11 during the Armory optional mission. As with other optional missions, when you reach the end of the mission you will reach a storage cache that has a variety of items. The Acid Bath will be one of them. I think there is another Acid Bath later in the game but I'm not sure where exactly.

Any suggestion as to what weapon to make? I must have killed 70-80 Necromorphs and the counter is stuck at 4. I've tried removing all limbs and even letting just the acid kill them and nothing works. Any help would be great. Thanks.

yep not sure if the acid needs to kill them over time or it can only be on a certain weapon.. killed about 10 or so with flamethrower and rokkit/grenades with acid and still on 0

I think I used the alternate fire on a Plasma Cutter. Make sure the top and bottom parts of the weapon both have Plasma Cores.

*possible spoilers ahead*
Just got the Achievement. I used a force gun top and line gun bottom with acid and ammo sweep attachments. Hit 'em with the force then the line gun. Worked like a charm. Before that i was using a chain gun and rocket launcher which did absolutely nothing.

Ripper blade + acid bath = success. :)

There's one at the very beginning of chapter 17. Like literally when you walk through the door to start the chapter, it's there on the right.

I equipped "Acid Bath" on my Enervator, and it worked just fine. As far as I know, you don't need to let the acid kill the enemy, though the game seems a little buggy on a few things.

What I don't get is why this cheev requires 50 kills whereas all the other similar ones only need 30.

I went with Stevivor's suggestion and it worked very quickly. Ripper Blade + Acid Bath = Success.

I don't think it appears until later in the game. I think I got it around Chapter 11. I finished the game with 2 in my inventory. I got them both from looting crates or containers. I can't remember exactly where though. If you make sure to do all the optional missions and loot all crates you should get at least one.

right for people struggling with this (such as myself)

the best weapon i found after experimenting with everything was a two handed weapon with a force gun (plasma and basic tip) and obviously acid bath attachment which you will come across mid way through game.
when enemies get near just spam the fire button knocking them down and keep hitting them at close range, you will notice they get completely covered in acid splashes and pretty much each kill counts as a acid kill.

not related to the achievement, the force gun combined with a strong rapid fire weapon like javelin etc is one of the best weapons in the game IMHO as you can use javelin to take down med to strong enemies and use force gun to push them back when they charge/get too close, and just use force gun against low ststrength swarm enemies (kids)

anyway once id selected this weapon, id unlocked it within the hour just playing through normally.


cheers, comment on negatives please

I was just coming in here to post a guide like this . I actually used the ground diffractor tip though , as soon as i started using that I came across a couple waves of Feeders and got the achievement in no time . I had a glitch btw that reset my progress from 31 down to 9 , and no I didn't die, stop playing, or reset a checkpoint.

Easy feeder location would be the start of chapter 9 once you head down the elevator.

Like the Electrical Mower Achievement you need to go to the Work Bench and craft a weapon with the Acid Bath Secondary Attachment. Here is a video I made showing you how to get this achievement.

I found that when I used the rocket launcher tip with the acid attachment, it counted each kill for this achievement as well as the Blast Corps achievement, leaving just 20 more kills with acid weapons once Blast Corps pops.

The best method for me was to build a pulse rifle and put an acid mod on primary mod and then for the secondary fire I had an explosive mod which also netted me the achievement for the explosive kills :)

You must kill 50 enemies who die from acid damage and not weapon damage. This is best done using a Pulse Rifle or SMG, which is created using the Compact/Heavy Frame with the Military Engine tool and the Acid Bath attachment.

Quick and easy:

1) Load chapter 9 (easy mode)

2) We look for a workbench and make a wall (pipe cutter with an acid attachment)

3) We quickly run to the place where Isaac first meets the EATERS.

4) Before a skirmish with them, an AUTO SAVE will be made.

5) We go into the room, wake them up and cut them down with an acid pipe cutter (about 10 pieces)

6) Save and exit -> load the last save and do everything again until you get the trophy.


PS: it took me about 15 minutes to get 2 trophies - this one and the Electric Mower.

Add a chain to the weapon that causes the barrel and cartridges to release acid.

It turned out that the assembled gun is in the DRAWINGS - it's called ACID.

Simply killing with a weapon with an additional acid module is not enough.
It is necessary that the animal die precisely from the effects of acid, and not from the cartridge.
But there is one trick: you can use a saw with acid - the murder of a person will count.
Only the saw blades should not fly away, but fly out and spin at the default distance from you.
