How to unlock the Head Hunter achievement in Mass Effect 2 - Definitive Guide
If you wish to get this earlier though, in the beginning of the game you will meet Jacob. This is basically a tutorial on manually using biotic/tech powers. The game wants you to press R2 and bring up the power wheel. Don't do this, and instead keep headshotting the mechs as they continually come out of the door.
There should be spare ammo in the area if you run out. Once you get the trophy, use Jacob's Pull, and you can move on. Remember, these must on humanoid targets, which means they must resemble a human's physique.
If you leave negative feedback, please explain why so I may correct. Thanks.
Full instructions are given in the video, along with hints and tips.
When you’re in cover, use to zoom in and move the targeting reticule over the enemy’s head. Push to fire. Repeat 29 more times.
There is a little glitch that you can take advantage of. At the beginning of the game when you first meet Jacob, he will explain that he is a biotic. The LOKI mechs will keep spawning until you have Jacob use one of his powers. Don’t and continue to headshot the mechs. This isn’t Call of Duty, so there’s no lock-on targeting. You’ll have to aim yourself.
Humanoid doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to be humans. As long as the enemies resemble humans (a head, two arms, and two legs), then this trophy will unlock.
You can do this at the very start of the game when you first meet Jacob. He will explain that he is a biotic and can use his pull ability on enemies. The robots will keep coming through the door until you request his ability so you can keep pulling off headshots until the achievement unlocks or you run out of ammo.
If you miss this infinite loop use the sniper rifle or heavy pistol and pick off enemies from a distance. This is easiest to do on LOKI mechs, as they have low health and lack sufficient protection.
