How to unlock the Thunder Struck achievement in Gatling Gears - Definitive Guide
This is a fairly straight-forward achievement, but if you end up missing one, here is a guide.
Chapter 3-1 (Fog Of War)
There are 8 lightning harvesters in this level, however as soon as the level starts there are no lightning harvesters to destroy, so don't worry about any at the start of the level.
1) About one to two minutes into the level, you will notice the 1st lightning harvester on your left a little bit after the first gold pickup, immediately after you cross a bridge. Shoot this lightning harvester and at the top of the screen a prompt says, "So the Empire managed to finish their powerstations". After this quote start looking around for the lightning harvesters.
2) Directly after this first power harvester the 2nd one is on the outside of the map to your right.
3 & 4) Directly after the second lightning harvester there will be 2 seperate lightning harvesters right next to each other.
5) A little bit further on the 5th lightning harvester is right after the second large mine field.
6) After the helicopter fight on the bridge the 6th lightning harvester is off the map in a gully.
7) You will then come to a bridge with mines on it. Once again the 7th lightning harvester is off the map on the right.
8) The 8th and last lightning harvester is at the end of the level when you battle the trains. Make sure you destroy the lightning harvester before you take out the train to register all 8 for the area Fog of War.
*JUST A NOTE: When I mention some lightning harvesters are off the map, I mean the areas of the map your mech cannot walk on. Use your cannon or grenades to take these lightning harvesters out from a distance.

The first gold pickup seems to be a little far away from the first lightning harvester, so I wouldn't use "immediately after". Anyway, good guide. Thanks.

I made this guide seeing as I didn't see a video guide. It isn't too challenging.. Video says it all. It shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to obtain.
If like me you could not get this to unlock, try this: make sure you play it using the XBox on which you purchased the game. I must've played this 10 times and didn't get it. I cleared the cache and deleted the save to start over and still nothing. Finally I went back and tried to get it using the original console on which the game was purchased, and it unlocked first try. Barring this, the license transfer tool may fix the problem too.
Fog of War is level three, area two. In this area there are eight lightning harvesters. They look exactly like the achievement picture so use that as a reference. To get the achievement simply destroy all eight. Here are their locations:
- In the immediate area when a dialogue box pops up about half way through the level. It's plainly visible just to the left of the road.
- Off a cliff to the right just past the first harvester. Since you can't walk to it, use grenades to destroy it.
- Directly in front of you as you continue down the road.
- Right beside number three.
- After a sizable minefield, it should be plainly visible just off the side of the road.
- After destroying the helicopter, there's another off the cliffside. Just like number two, use grenades to destroy it. This is pretty easy to miss, so make sure you're looking for it.
- After number six, you'll cross a bridge. The harvester is off the side of the bridge at a lower elevation.
- In the walled-in area (at the end of the level), there will be one on the left side of the screen. Once you clear this area out the level will end, so make sure you destroy it before taking out the second train that comes in.
