How to unlock the Shock and Awe achievement in Gears 5 - Definitive Guide

You get the shock trap in the beginning of Act 2. During Act 2 Chapter 3, a dozen or so juvies will come over the roof of a building after you exit a cabin. Use the Shock Trap on the group of them.

Worked perfectly, walked towards the building until they started spawning, then put the trap in front of me. There weren't enough of them in the beginning, but soon more of them came down and popped the achievement.

Took 2 tries because I thought I failed. Helps if you upgrade the Shock Trap so it lasts longer right before this part happens. Great guide!

During Act 2 - Chapter 3, shortly after you get to the New Hope facility, you will exit a ruined section of building into an open outdoor area. You'll know the place because you will have to fight and kill a Warden here. At the back of the area, after killing the Warden, there will be a garage door on the left and a church-looking building with a normal door to the right. You MUST go in the right-hand door first, into the building full of pods. If you don't go here first, the juvies will not spawn later for the achievement. Go downstairs and have Jack open the safe so you can grab the 3 upgrade components.

Now go back upstairs. When you look out the door, straight across is the building with the garage door, and about 12 to 15 juvies will come down off the roof of it when you exit the church-looking building. Run out the door and straight across and have Jack drop a shock trap right in front of the big stack of crates just to the left of the garage door and then back up.

You should easily catch 6 juvies in the shock trap. If you don't then just reload the CURRENT checkpoint, kill the Warden, go downstairs and open the safe, then go out and try again.

On Act 2: Chapter 3 - Forest for the trees, there will be a part when you encountered a few rejects and then swarm flock appears, during the fight the swarm flock will sometimes turn into a tornado and release some worms to attack you. During the tornado it will be bunch of them and stay stagnant for awhile, just send Jack to deploy shock trap there and you will kill bunch of them, and viola - achievement unlocked. This work for me in Insane solo.

Lots of opportunities for this one in the Campaign!

- When you see a group of enemies aim at them and press cn_Y to send Jack to place a Shock Trap at their feet, if you shock 6 the achievement is yours :D

By far the best place to get this.

During the end of Act III, when you pass the point of no return (it will ask you if you wish to proceed, right after you defeat the 2 snatchers and a few scions, you will board the lift. part way through that sequence, a ton of juvies will attack you in one straight line. Target jack to use the shock traps from where they are coming and you will get a lot, many more than 6.

If you don't have it equiped, quickly pause the game and equip it.

This achievement can be pretty tricky if not in the right situation much like the 3 enemies being flashed achievement this is best done against a large attack coming right at you. When the Juvies come at you in big numbers can be the best time.

Having the power upgraded as much as possible AND having the final perk can help ALOT too. I strongly advise getting it if your having trouble.

Video below of me getting the achievement in ACT 3 I think I had all the perks at this point which made it alot easier.

I managed to get this pretty easily, when you first get to the open world, progress until you are told to look for train tracks. Soon after you will see a crashed train and a large yellow flag on your left, progress into the tunnel to activate secondary objective 'Hollow Storm'. Without spoilers, there is an enemy in there which you can easily get this achievement on, more details below.
