How to unlock the Pounder achievement in Iron Brigade - Definitive Guide
This one really is actually pretty easy. Play through the campaign until you reach the level Oasis. Use a chassis that has 3 slots on one side, then equip an artillery cannon (I was using "The Pigeon") Then, start the mission, and like usual, Vlad unveils a new tube, this time called the knob. They are small spiky balls that roll in groups and attack your turrets. Simply aim at a group of them (they usually come in packs of at least 5) and aim for about the center to ensure you hit them all.

Also buggy as hell. Somehow my player got overlapped with another gamer as we got 5 in the lobby for whatever reason. Throughout the play session, both that gamers progress and mine combined apparently. This and 'Rainmaker' both popped while I was upgrading my trench.

Got it on Oasis as well, using artillery cannon. Dead on. Thanks.

This is an easy one to pick up after you are introduced to knobs (Arrive in Africa), the easiest level to get this is in the first African level "Oasis". They come rolling down the hill in large groups ranging from 5-10 most of the time. It would be easiest to attach an Artillery Cannon, preferably a stronger one, which you will unlock farther in the game as you level up. Each cannon takes 3 slots, so you will need a better core on your trench than what you start the game with. You start the game and wait for Vlad to introduce knobs, as soon as they come get as close as you can and aim in the center of them all and fire! Bam! One less achievement to earn in Trenched.
On the level Oasis, the second level in Africa make sure you have a grenade launcher attached. Make sure you do not have to many gun turrets because they will kill the knobs. When the knobs are coming down the hill fire the grenades and if you get at least five the achievement will unlock

Load the mission 'Oasis' in the second act 'Africa'. This is the mission where the Knob variant of Monovisions is introduced. They are very weak and generally die in a single bullet. They travel in packs of up to fifteen at a time so killing them with an explosive is very easy.
Alternatively, you can equip an Artillery weapon and walk close to a Monovision Eruptor and wait until a cluster of enemies spawn. Try to aim in the middle of the group and you should unlock this easily.
This can be done with any form of explosion created by the player.
