How to unlock the Burning Neodymium achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide

Before this Title Update went live, I had considered sabotaging a Prime Sentry Drone / Bot with the TITAN aug active to get this. However, it seems you can no longer do that. So that leaves the next best way, the very first Prime Unit -- the big guy in S06_TALONPIKE of \\NETWORK_1A.

The TITAN Aug itself only costs one Praxis -- it's the fancy shield Icon on the left down in the Defense tab of the augmentations. Ideally with some energy augmentations, you'll not even come close to running out of energy even with only a basic TITAN Aug.

Grab your most powerful weapon, add on any damage-increasing Cheat modifiers for that weapon, and hop on in. He walks right past you and with just an A-Rated combat Rifle an an B-Rated Combat Rifle Damage Cheat, I melted him and went to the exit in well under the par time and very well before my 550 (thank god for Expansion Items) energy ran out.

Thumbs up. I also use S06_TALONPIKE for this. The following guide includes a takedown of this prime unit using a pistol & stun rifle. You can use those tactics. While the prime unit is stunned, just before you administer the coup de grace, you can activate the Titan.aug. In that way, even a small energy reserve will suffice.

Small disclaimer: the killing blow must be from your gun or (presumably) ability. Blowing him up with the red cubes didn't work for me.

I killed him with a rifle with 300% dmg mod with titan aug upgraded and energy reserves upgraded, still had 50% energy when he went down from a bullet, and still didnt pop it. Somethins fishy.

A Prime Unit is Breach mode's boss enemies, most often seen as fat enemies with tons of HP and armour. The Titan Aug itself needs 2 Praxis kits to unlock and is found at the bottom rows of the Aug list, depicted by a shield icon. If you don't have this, then you will need to either level up or farm credits to buy packs and hope for a Praxis kit to be revealed/unlocked.

Once you have the Titan Aug, find a server with a Prime Unit, then either turn on the Aug (hold to assign to the or ) while fighting and killing the Prime Unit, or get it to low health, then turn it on and quickly finish it off. Once the Unit is dead with the Titan Aug still active, the trophy will pop. A quick server to find a Prime Unit is Network 1A S06_TALONPIKE, which is a server with only 1 enemy (the Prime Unit) but plenty of red cubes to help finish off the Prime Unit.

Before heading into a Prime Unit Server, go ahead and access the Augmentation Menu. You'll want to spend one Praxis to unlock the Titan aug (there's no need to upgrade it). Now stock up on your most powerful weapons and gear (Expansion Items that increase Energy would be beneficial, too) and head into Server S06_TALONPIKE in Network 1A.

Once you gain control of your avatar, use a mixture of your weapons and the Red Unstable Crates scattered around the map to dwindle the Prime Unit's health down to a quarter or so. Once the enemy is hanging onto a sliver of health, activate your Titan aug and finish it off by any means. So long as your aug remains active during the kill, the achievement will unlock.

Titan.aug - augmentation of your avatar in the "Protection" branch. It is enough to purchase a basic augmentation, costing one set of "PRAXIS" and have time to kill any boss while the "TITAN" shield is active (for example, on the S06_TALONPIKE server in the Network_1A Network).
