How to unlock the Core Driller achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide


The Ice Drill in Mission 13 can be found at the beginning, when you first enter the facility. Once you're inside, turn right and go through, where you find the terminal for the ice drill.

Position the Ice Drill at the very end of the big hall and press the button to complete the "Core Driller" Achievement.

This achievement is available to unlock in Mission 13. After you regain consciousness, Remote Hack the expandable ladder to the left and climb up. Go through the door that's on top of there and eventually you'll find yourself into a corridor that has some metal boxes to the left hand side. There should be two guards to the right, right outside a door that's also on the right hand side, but they should be visible in you radar.
Climb on top of that shelve where the boxes are and go through the vent. It will lead you to a big area and two guards will be talking right outside the vent's exit. Wait for a little bit until they split and deal with the one that stays on that level. The other one goes down the stairs and doesn't come back, so he's not an issue.
Go through the door that's beside that guard and go through the other door too straight ahead after evading the security camera. As you enter the room, you'll see a laptop in the stand in the middle and on your left hand side, a console. It faces the rest of the big area you're in.
This controls the ice drill. You are to move it away from the ice that's on the right hand side and towards the far end of this big open room. Once you move it only once (aka away from the ice first), a guard will get suspicious. Use the answer that has to do with security precautions and they'll buy it. Afterwards move it towards the other end of the room and then move it back towards the ice. The button that was previously locked will now be available to press. Press it, allowing the drill to extract a huge cylinder of ice from the wall and the achievement will unlock. EDIT: If it didn't, make a separate normal save and follow the rest of my guide, there have been reports that you need to actually go through the new path you've created with the drill.

Important: The description of the achievement reads "Use the Ice Drill to bypass a large section of the GARM facility.", with the keyword being "bypass". Right after getting the achievement, move the drill away from the ice and leave it there. Look towards the side of the room across the door and you'll see another deployable ladder. Remote hack the lazer grid on top of it and the ladder itself and climb up. Once you're on top, climb on the yellow industrial crane rails and carefully walk on it until you reach the hole that the drill had drilled before. Jump down in it and go through it. Congratulations you just bypassed some of the guards and security measures.

You're welcome Angelo, I think it always pops after you're in the hole.

Quick video guide:


Once you start moving the crane a guard will contact you asking what you're doing. You will need to choose 'scold' to remain undetected.
To move it into the right position you will need to use rear, left, left and forward combination (as shown in video).

(Highly Missable!)

Only achievable during Main Mission M13: G.A.R.M. Make sure to bring at least one Biocell with you before you leave Prague after M11 or M12 (you can also craft these at 120 Crafts).

After regaining consciousness from the initial ambush at the facility, you’re given a choice to contact either Vega or Miller. It’s recommended that you contact Vega and not Miller. Contacting Miller will end up voiding the Foxiest of the Hounds trophy from unlocking. After making your contact choice, head towards the quest marker to find a large ventilation fan. Follow the cables around the wall that leads to a breaker to shut it down. Crawl through the vents and you’ll end up in the crane control room. On your right you’ll see a control panel that needs a Biocell to be operated. Plug a Biocell in, then press the “Rear” button. Someone will shout at you, use “Scold” to deflect any suspicions. Now move the drill by pressing the “Left” button twice and then press the “Forward” button using the Navigation Panel. After using the Navigation Panels press the red “Button” above the panel once it’s in place to unlock the trophy. Taking this shortcut route does not void your Foxiest of the Hounds trophy from unlocking.

This achievement is missable and is earned in Mission 13, G.A.R.M.

After waking up from your unconscious state, make your way towards the objective waypoint straight ahead, activate the breaker to stop the fan, and crawl inside the ventilation shaft.

NOTE: If you are going for the "Foxiest of the Hounds" achievement, make sure you call Vega during this time. Calling Miller creates an unavoidable alarm to trigger later on.

Climb the ladder at the end of the shaft and you'll find yourself inside the drill's control room. Place a single Biocell into the drill console and press the left directional button on the control panel.

This will trigger a conversation over the loudspeaker. "Scold" the worker and then get back to work. Press the up directional button, then press it again, then finally press the right directional button on the panel. You can now activate the red console button which will seal the drill in its new position and unlock the achievement.

To avoid an alarm, you must select the “Scold” option in the dialogue after turning on the ice drill.

I tried to get the trophy after clearing the level, but it turned out to be impossible.

The comment above is correct! After clearing the level, the trophy is impossible to complete. You must definitely use the drill and select “scold” in the dialogue as soon as you get inside the complex

If you use an ice drill, it is likely that an alarm will be raised, and then you will not receive the Foxiest of the Hounds trophy

Apparently, the alarm when using the drill will not be raised if you select the “Report” option in the dialogue with the guard after starting it. Just used a drill to beat GARM and ended up with a "Sneaker" at the end of the game.
