How to unlock the Vanguard Surprise achievement in Mass Effect: Andromeda - Definitive Guide

To earn this achievement you have to go through a few steps.
- First, you must reach level 6 to have attained the specific amount of skill points needed (20 skill points).
- Second, you must use 9 skill points in both the "Tech" and "Biotic" skill tree to unlock the needed skills.
- Finally, purchase the "Charge" skill from the Biotic Tree and the "Tactical Cloak" from the Tech Tree.

Now that you have these, find an enemy and go invisible with the Tactical Cloak skill then use the Charge skill to kill that enemy. Doing this on Narrative or Casual will cause an instakill making this easier.

If you misplace your skill points you can always reallocate them in the tempest med-bay.

Killing your target isn't a requirement - making contact is sufficient.

+1 for not having to kill your target for the achievement to count.

Also you can unlock this even quicker if you pick the Scrapper or Operative combat training options during character creation as shown in the guide by JechtShotMark3. Those options will grant you access to Charge (Biotic tree) or Tactical Cloak (Tech tree) respectively as soon as you start the game, so you'll only need to be around level 4 to earn 11 skill points to get the achievement - 1 point to spend on whichever skill you start with, 9 to invest in the other skill tree to unlock the remaining skill, then 1 spend on that.

Once you buy the skills charge, under the biotic tree, and tactical cloak, under the tech tree, you simply just need to find some enemies and go invisible and then get somewhat close and use charge. You don't have to kill the enemy, just simply hit them. The video is me showing you what it should look like and where in the skill trees to find both abilities. Happy hunting!

I did save before I did this to keep my points, I thought i needed to spend tons of these points. I just bought only the first one on Charge, (I put it on LB). Secondly, I bought only the one on tactical cloak. (I put that one on RB). I was on Kadara, went over to one spot with people and cloaked, then charged, got it without killing them. This is with version 1.10 update as on August 8, 2017. Real easy. I thought I was supposed to kill them, I guess not, or I am lucky.

To do this, you're going to need to save up and spend some skill points first to be able to unlock the Charge attack skill from the Biotic tree and Tactical Cloak in the Tech tree if you did not choose a character at the start of the game that has this skill already.

You need to put 9 points into the Biotic skill tree before you can unlock Charge. You also need 9 points into the Tech skill tree before you can unlock Tactical Cloak.

After both are unlocked and active, find an enemy and use Tactical Cloak. While cloaked, use Charge on the enemy to take them down.

Doing so will unlock the trophy.

This trophy can only be earned in single player.

You will need to buy Charge (Biotic Skill tree) and the Tactical Cloak (Tech Skill tree) to attempt this trophy.

Once you have these skills, activate the Tactical Cloak, aim at an enemy and press the Charge button to unleash a charged punch while being cloaked. This should unlock the trophy.

You will need the "Charge" (Biotic) and "Tactical Cloak" (Tech) skills to unlock this achievement. Once you have both, simply use Tactical Cloak to go invisible, then Charge any enemy. The enemy does not have to die, only be hit. Must be done in SP.

If you would like to watch a short video guide, that can be found here.

Everything is clearly written in the description of the trophy, but to upgrade Tactical Camouflage you need to spend 9 points in the tree of those skills. If you don’t want to waste 9 points, just save, reset your skills (this can be done in the medical compartment of the “Storm”), upgrade the necessary skills (Tactical camouflage - techno-branch, onslaught - biotics). Attack any enemy above in the manner indicated and reload the save.

There is no need to fully level up Tactical Camouflage or Onslaught. All it takes is unlocking with one point and using it on the nearest beetle.

We use the “ Tactical Camouflage ” (technique) ability, hit the enemy using “ Onslaught ” (biotics) while we are invisible.
