How to unlock the This Is Great For Spring Cleaning achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide
This achievement can easily be obtained in the underground club in Palisade. Go through the alley and climb down the manhole, hack to the gate and with a fully upgraded P.E.P.S. Arm Cannon Augment, hold down the button and fire at the first thug in the room then quickly tap the augment button at the group on enemies to the left of the room and you will unlock this achievement/trophy.
I have added a video guide below also.
I did during mission 7, in the arc territory.
Once you get to the Russian Casino underground, save and then invest in the P.E.P.S. Enter the hackable door on the right, and head to the end of the corridor. There should be an enemy directly in front of you, so use the Precision function on him, then quickly turn to the left and use the knockback function on the group of thugs. The achievement should then unlock.
After you have unlocked this, reload your save and then focus on one of the other combat achievements.
Is there a time limit between using each shot type?
Can't get this to pop, gr.
This trophy requires you use both Knockback & Precision functions of the P.E.P.S. Arm Cannon at least once. It should be noted that this trophy can only be obtained against "Hostile" enemies and not civilians. You will not unlock the trophy if you attempt this trophy on non hostile enemies. The P.E.P.S. (Projected Energy Propulsion System) is one of Adam's new Experimental Augmentations that enables him to fire a concussive blast that knocks down targets and scatters objects. You'll need to fully upgrade the P.E.P.S. using 3 Praxis Kits.
Once you're able to upgrade Adam after completing Mission 3: Getting In Top Shape Again, you can attempt to do this trophy at any time. The best place is in Sewers where you're in the Underground Casino. Depending on how you previously approached the Underground Casino, the enemies will either be hostile or non hostile. If they're still hostile towards Adam, then you can easily attempt the trophy requirement. If they aren't hostile because you did the Honor Holds Us All Together trophy. You'll need to have a gun on you so you can shot the guy upstairs to make them all hostile towards Adam.
Once you have the enemies hostile towards Adam, aim at an enemy and press/tab whatever button you've assigned your P.E.P.S. onto; doing this will fire the the Knockback. Once you've done that find and aim at a different enemy, but this time you want to press and hold down on whatever button you've assigned your P.E.P.S. onto; doing this will fire the Precision Diode. After successfully using both Knockback & Precision functions of the P.E.P.S. Arm Cannon at least once, the trophy will unlock. If you failed or messed up, simply reload your last manual save and retry again. After unlocking this trophy, don't forget to reload your last manual save if you're after the Pacifist and Foxiest of the Hounds trophies.
This achievement can be earned at any time during your playthrough after Mission 3. Please keep in mind combat-related achievements only work on enemies in a hostile environment; civilians and policemen do not count.
You will need to unlock and fully upgrade the "P.E.P.S." augmentation.
In the underground casino, simply attack one of the mobsters to engage in combat. Now fire a precision shot (hold the aug button) at an enemy, and then use the knockback function on a different enemy (tap the aug button). Remember, this will only count when in hostile combat, so make sure you lethally engage the mobsters so that they turn against you.
