How to unlock the E.D.G.E. Master achievement in Front Mission Evolved - Definitive Guide

If you are like me, you probably didn't get this achievement after finishing the Campaign mode. Assuming you've finished the game, I've found the below way is quick, easy, and should take no more than 30 minutes.

Recommended loadout:
-A shoulder Gatling gun (I used Anaconda)
-A bazooka (I used Banish 2)
-A repair pack
-High armor torso

The reason for the Gatling gun/Bazooka is not only because they take the enemy out, but they do a lot of splash damage. The EDGE meter fills as you do damage to body parts and highly focused weapons (like rifles) take the enemy out too quickly. The bazooka and Gatling combo raise your EDGE quite fast which speeds up the time it take to get the achievement.

Location: ACT V - Tower of Babel
This is a medium high difficulty map but as long as you have good equipment and a repair pack it should be pretty easy even on hard (which is what I did it on). You do not want to select a lower ACT map as the enemies die too quickly and you do not build your EDGE as much. This stage also has a ton of enemies.

Strategy: Use the Gatling/Bazooka combo to take out a couple Mediums or one heavy and you should get enough EDGE for a burst. Weaken an enemy or too and when they are close to being destroyed kick on EDGE and take them out. Once the enemies are destroyed end EDGE and repeat. Don't forget to use the repair pack if needed and keep in mind that the bazooka damages you if you hit a wanzer too close to you (such as the brawlers). Continue with the stage until you get to the large warehouse battle where the wanzers come down on elevators. At this point you can either take them all out and restart the level once your on foot, or die when the last enemy in the warehouse is left then resume the checkpoint. Both count towards the achievement.

Good luck and have fun!

You'll first get access to the E.D.G.E. system at the end of the mission "Apollo's Chariot". Activate E.D.G.E. with and kill away at John Woo speeds. Only enemies killed while E.D.G.E. is still active will count towards the trophy.

EDGE mode is activated by button and it is also deactivated if you have already killed an enemy and do not want to waste EDGE.

The tactics for killing enemies for this trophy are as follows: first, use missiles and other weapons to remove 23 health from the enemy, then activate EDGE and finish off with missiles and long-range weapons.

Thus, even on “hard” difficulty there are no problems with this.
