How to unlock the Death From Above achievement in Defense Grid: The Awakening - Definitive Guide

If you load up Focal Point on "Fully Loaded" mode, you automatically start with the laser. Simply place a tower to start the round, then hold LT and RT simultaneously until the laser fires.

I rarely comment, I wanted to get some Gs before deleting this game permanently from my console and my mind. Thank you!

Just as a heads-up to everyone, you need to press LT OR RT to fire. Not both, as most of the Achievement solutions say.

Story related on the 8th level, Focal Point.

You'll be told around wave 13 that the Laser is online, you'll be told about the laser at the start of the mission.

When you get the laser, the wave will have 1 enemy (the one that spawns other enemies). Don't waste your laser on him, wait until the next wave where 5 Slow Bosses come or the wave after that where 6 Fast Bosses come. I used it on the Slow Bosses as the Fast die quickly to Gun towers.

Use Temporal towers to slow the Slow bosses into a group then Hold LT and RT and the laser will fire where your crosshair is.

Do you mean the 6th level or the 6th mission on a level?

@TwiK - There aren't any "levels" - the game is made up of a number of missions (it says "Mission Select" right at the top of the Menu Screen). The orbital laser first appears in the "Focal Point" mission (which is actually the 8th mission listed when scrolling through the Mission Select)

When you reach Wave 19 on "Focal Point" you will be able to use the orbital laser. To fire the laser, point the reticule where you want it to strike and hold down +.
