Kill 30 enemies with the Ripper

How to unlock the A Cut Above achievement in Dead Space - Definitive Guide
MattLorrigan
The Ripper is an extremely strong, ammo-efficient weapon to use against single necromorphs, so you’ll likely unlock this automatically as you play.
However, like all of the “Kill 30 enemies” achievements, this can be farmed pretty easily once you reach a Guardian enemy. These wall-mounted foes spit out smaller enemies that can be killed quickly and easily, so you can keep the Guardian alive and use your chosen weapon to kill the little tentacle blobs that it spawns.
Alternatively, you can make sure to shoot any bloated Pregnant necromorphs that you come across in the stomach with your Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle, unleashing lots of small Swarmer enemies. Quickly switch to the Ripper and use it to kill the Swarmers, quickly racking up kills.
A final option is to start a New Game+ on Story difficulty, starting from the beginning with all weapons available to you, and easily killing any enemies you come across with your weapon of choice to mop up the achievements.

A very fun gun, which shoots a spinning saw blade out that you can control and chop up limbs with. Stock up on saw blades for this as and when you can.

The Ripper is most effective at close-range. When you fire the Ripper, move the hovering blade slice of enemies' limbs.
DLC weapons do not positively or negatively affect weapon kill trophies in any way.

When fired, this weapon launches a cutting disk at a limited (a couple of meters forward) distance and cuts the enemy’s spot where the sight is aimed. Cutting occurs for a certain time, after which you need to start the next disk again. If you get hit while cutting, the cutting will be interrupted prematurely, so it is better to cut a frozen enemy - this way you will aim better, and he will not be able to interrupt the use of the pipe cutter charge.
I don’t advise you to pump it up in any way (unless you pump up the capacity when it’s at zero) - it already quite successfully cuts off the limbs of ordinary opponents.
I got this trophy on maximum difficulty, and I must say that this is not the most hopeless weapon even without leveling up the damage (however, it is still not suitable for constant use). On maximum difficulty, I quite successfully (with two or three starts of the disk) killed the black dismemberers without first weakening them (cutting off one limb). It is especially effective to use pipe cutter charges on crowds of enemies - I boosted a lot at the end of Chapter 11, where the obelisk first appears before the player - I simply killed all the tentacles in advance in order to move calmly - run from enemies, collecting them in groups in the narrow corridors of this hall. When they were all together, I used stasis (everyone was frozen at once) and with great pleasure slaughtered this crowd of people - one necromorph after another gradually fell.
Remember that only kills of opponents who are killed by cutting off a limb count towards weapon trophies. To count a kill with a certain weapon, the killed enemy does not need to deal damage only with it - the weapon with which the last blow was dealt is counted.
