Kill a brute while it's charging you.

How to unlock the Eye of the Hurricane achievement in Mass Effect 3 - Definitive Guide

If you missed it in the Singleplayer, you can get it in the Multiplayer as well

You encounter over 20 Brutes over the Game, i sure you get this Achievement without trying to get it. You can found the first four Brutes on Palaven, while you search for the Primach. Shoot then at low hp, search for a free Place and let them charge you...

And don't make the mistake I made on Palaven and carry too many weapons - you won't be able to get out of the way of the charge fast enough. I picked up the Scimitar and used it immediately instead of swapping stuff around so I was about 10% off my max carry weight :(

I also have a problem in that my companions are far too competent. Every time I get a Brute weak enough to be killed in one shot, Tali or Vega or Javik kill it before it can charge.

Hands down the easiest way to do this (got it by accident):

After meeting Garrus and fighting your second Brute in the first area of the camp with the objective, you'll find a "Reaper Blackstar" weapon with one shot on the floor along the Turian outpost on the right. It shoots one of those killer red beams after a few seconds' charge. Not that much further ahead, two more Brutes will pop out. Lure them as you wish, but when they're charging at you, let the Blackstar rip. (On Insanity, it's best to take both Brutes out with the same shot.) There's a checkpoint after that second Brute, so if you screw it up, you can die and try again.

I was having trouble killing Brutes while they were charging, but found probably the easiest way to get this.

On Tuchanka when you're trying to activate the hammers to call the thresher maw, there will be 4 Brutes. If you hide behind one of the triggers for the hammers, the Brutes will have trouble getting to but will try to charge anyway.

Be warned, that they can eventually get around the trigger and they can sometimes hit you even from the other side.

Much like Almighty Allah, I did this on the mission that brings you to the moon above the turian home world (you get this mission info right after your first visit to the Citadel).

The way I did this was to employ the new roll mechanic (tapping A when not near cover). Wait for the brute to charge, roll out of the way, and unload on it. It's also made a lot easier if you have a fire-based ability such as Incinerate. I just kept repeating this until the brute's armor (which is its last meter, as they have no health) was within the range that one of my incinerates knocks off... then I put some distance between me and it, waited for it to charge, and lit him up.

If you somehow manage to miss this achievement in single player, you can always do it in multiplayer. Play only matches with Reapers set as the enemy to increase your chances.

I suggest being a Vanguard with fully upgraded biotic charge. Just time it right and slam into an almost-dead brute as he's about to rush you. (I did it on accident and got the achievement).

I got this achievement in the multiplayer by waiting till the brute was about to charge and then shooting it with the rocket launcher. Wasn't sure to how low the health was but i am pretty sure it was a one shot kill.

You will be introduced to the Brute enemy during your mission on Palaven. This is the first main story mission after visiting the Citadel for the first time. As you are killing husks with a turret defending a barricade, your next fight will be against this monstrosity. Wear down the armor first, and try to avoid the husks that are also attacking. When you get it to 1 bar left, wait for it to charge at you. When it does, shoot it with your most powerful power or weapon. If it dies and isn't charging, you can try to let the husk enemies finish you off so you can restart the battle. These also appear online in the later waves if you miss them all in the campaign.

You’ll first encounter brutes in the mission to Palaven’s moon. They are basically giant husks and aren’t much of a danger to you, as long as you stay away from them. Instead of a health bar, they only have an armor bar, so incinerate is powerful against them. When they charge, one of their arms will go up. Roll or sprint out of the way and fire at them as they pass by you. They don’t need to be coming straight at you for you to get this trophy. I got it when the brute had charged past me and came to a stop. As long as they die when they charge at you (and like most enemies in Mass Effect, they will come right at you), you’ll get this trophy without much trouble.

You can also do this trophy online. Just make sure that when searching for a match, the enemy type is set to reapers. This will be easier on Bronze difficulty and one missile (assuming that you have one from one of the item packs) will do the trick.

When the Creature's health drops to a minimum (one or two bars) and it rushes towards you, use one of the skills that causes the greatest amount of damage. For different classes, this could be, for example, “Deformation” , “Stunning Shot” or “Ignition” - something that penetrates armor well.

The easiest way to get it is in the Priority Mission: Palaven, at the very end of the mission there is a place where there are 2 Creatures, on the right lies the Reaper Weapon - Black Star, 1 time, works like Cain from the second part, kills anyone with 1 hit, wait for the Creature to jump, shoot, get trophy...

The trophy was unlocked without using any of the skills described above. Brutus was simply killed (or rather, finished off - one life bar was burning) from an assault rifle during his jump.

This can be done easily even in Madness mode, in the third story mission “Priority: Palaven”, if you have an armor-piercing skill, in my case it was ignition. After transferring the hero from MF2, I changed the class to engineer and did not regret it.

It is important to understand that technically the charge begins at the moment the creature moves, while it stands and grimaces in place, you cannot kill, otherwise there will be no trophy. Therefore, it is better to shoot and use the spell at the moment when the creature is as close as possible to the character.

In the hint from Invizible there is written a slightly complicated method, because if you are playing with four players, it will be difficult to finish off the creature with your skills, since if Invizible told you to leave one or two divisions of life, then other players will finish him off, so I advise you to buy a veteran’s set, which costs 20,000 credits and sooner or later you come across a “COBRA launcher”; as soon as we come across it, we immediately take it into battle. As soon as you see the creature, wait until it attacks you and don’t pay attention to the fact that other players are trying to kill the creature with pistols, the glasses will still protect you because “COBRA” is a very powerful weapon and it takes on any enemy the first time. So the creature rushes at you and immediately you press the button Attention: you CLAMP and do not press. After killing the creature you will receive a trophy.

The achievement is easy. You reduce the creature’s armor to a minimum, then wait for the moment when it rushes at you and that’s it, finish it off either with some skill or with a heavy weapon, for example, I did it with deformation
