How to unlock the Designated Decoy achievement in Deep Rock Galactic - Definitive Guide

Dreadnaughts are guaranteed to show up on Elimination missions (as you'll have to fight at least two as the primary objective). Fortunately for you, in Elimination missions Dreadnaughts are inside cocoons (they look like huge red eggs), so you can plan this achievement out a head of time with your teammates (or sneak off to fight one yourself) before the fight even begins.

Therein, either solo this mission/solo the fight or stand next to the egg right before your team attacks it, to get AoE damage and to pick up initial agro.

NOTE: as uberJames points out in the comments, this achievement needs to be earned while playing a Team game, with another live player in the game (i.e., not with BOSC0). You cannot earn this achievement while playing solo.

I've defeated (and been damaged by) several Dreadnoughts playing Elimination missions solo (with Bosco) and this achievement has not popped for me. It may require an actual team of human players.

I've confirmed multiple times that you can't earn this solo, unlike many of the other team-centric achievements in this game.

Thanks uberJames, I'll add this as a note to the solution.

Yea this doesn't work if you're in a team mission by yourself with bosco you actually have to have another player in the mission.

Start a multiplayer game, let the others inside the drop pod, go for the Dreadnaught and try get the weakest one on lowest difficulty, even if you only take shield damage the achievement will pop right after the Dread hits the dirt.
Already existing guide wasn't clear enough for me... never needed to know where to locate Dreads
