How to unlock the Sweaty palms? achievement in Dying Light - Definitive Guide

Demolishers will begin randomly spawning on the map after you face one through the story quests. I found that a demolisher often spawns outside of Atilla's house after it is unlocked as a safe house through a story quest. Next you will want to upgrade your vehicle a bit; however, to do this even faster, unlock the electric cage, flamethrower, and ramming bumper. You can attempt to do some damage to the demolisher before ramming your buggy into it.

Here is a video guide with English commentary for this achievement!

Just a heads up for anyone doing this on Hard and it not popping. I killed 4 demolishers on Hard and no achievement, I switched to Normal and the first one I killed it popped, so if no cheeve on Hard, switch to Normal. Didn't try on Nightmare so I can't say.

I used 21 Impact Bolts on a Demolisher and it still didn't die, how do you expect me to kill it with a vehicle.

What the fuck. Deleted my save file hoping to fix it by playing on a new save file. Didn't mean to delete all my progress. So I signed out and rebooted hoping to get my save file back from the cloud and no save file. (Hundreds of hours gone thank god I was nearly finished) and this bastard achievement just popped! So basically I have this achievement but have lost hours and hours of progress. Why doesn't it tell you that deleting also removes your player stats?

As of 29 Apr 2020, in order to get this now, sign out after you run him over with the vehicle (recommending using nitro to ensure that happens) and hard reset your Xbox. When you sign back in it will unlock shortly after but not display on screen that you achieved it.

Notice: Achievement is buggy (surprise surprise). Have killed multiple Demolishers with vehicle and won't unlock.

For people who have problems with achievement, I have killed 2 normal Demolishers and it did not pop, after I killed this "special" Demolisher during the mission Vanitas the achievement poped!

killed the special demolisher and the achievement did not pop....

UPDATE: Had to do it twice. The first time I killed him with the electro shock on the buggy. That didn't work. Seems like you actually need to run over him.

After having completed the story, I haven't been able to find any demolishers. Considering it's marked as not missable, I was like I'll do it at the end. Guess that was the wrong choice. So to anyone reading this comment: try to get this achievement before you finish the story!

I had a lot of trouble with this one. After killing probably 7 Demolishes with my buggy, I used the method that Soldier of Zeus mentioned above. While the method didn't unlock the achievement for me as intended, I ended up finding another Demolisher shortly after reloading the game and it popped after I shot in 10 times with my Assasult rifle and then finished him off with a few nitro boosted rams. Hope this helps. I can't stand these buggy achievements >:(

You don't need to do all the required damage to kill the demolisher. I got this achievement by shooting heaps of bolts from my crossbow at him, then hitting it him with my car using nitro. You just need to get the killing hit using the car.

I've made a very quick video about this achievement and it's worth noting that it's best to have level 5 parts on your vehicle and also the best ramming bar for the Demolisher to die more quickly. Also, any explosive device works but I'm not really sure on how many of each explosive the Demolisher can take so be careful. I used the exploding throwing stars on this Demolisher and 4-5 (maybe even 6-7) was a good amount.

Demolishers will begin randomly spawning on the map after you face one through the main story quests. I found that a demolisher often spawns outside of Atilla's house after it is unlocked as a safe house through a main story quest. Next, you will want to upgrade your vehicle a bit; focus on unlocking the electric cage, flamethrower, and ramming bumper. Before ramming your buggy into it, you can attempt to do some damage to the demolisher with a high-power weapon.

See the video below for more information.

Demolishers are the Huge zombie that charges you and throws rocks for the attacks. You are forced to kill a few of these for certain story missions so you will be no stranger to them. While driving around the Countryside you come across random encounters with civilians trying to kill one. If you're trying to get this done with the Bare bones buggy, it will take a lot of ramming to kill him so I don't recommend it. See below for a list of locations.

Use a powerful Weapon such as a Katana with 2400+ damage to weaken the Demolisher with about 5 or 6 strikes to the back. Then, get in your buggy at the correct time while the Demolisher is stunned, and ram him until he dies. It should only take 5 good rams to drop him. Video of this: LINK

Demolisher Locations:

During the "Vanitas" main story quest you will be sent to check on a associate of the Acolytes in a Mansion. At the front gate of the mansion is a fixed spawn point of a Green Demolisher an he can not be missed if you're on this main quest. Get the killing blow on the Demolisher with the Buggy, and the trophy is yours.

Post game there also should be another Demolisher spawn point along the South Eastern main road. Starting out on the Mansion Road, follow it down where it intersects with the main road. If the Demolisher isn't there, drive a good distance away and come back. See the image below for a reference point. Thanks to Aeirou for this location:
