How to unlock the Close Combat Specialist achievement in Mass Effect: Andromeda - Definitive Guide

To perform a melee attack in Andromeda press the cn_Y button.

For a more powerful melee attack jump with the cn_A button and then press cn_Y you will get an area effect that is quite devastating.

I have about 90 kills after just a few hours of multiplayer APEX missions. I also pushed up my melee damage with one of my skill points and can kill almost any red bar enemy if they are half dead with one airborne melee.

And just for clarity this achievement will be very quick in the multiplayer part of the game.

You melee with cn_T. You can also jump with cn_X and hold cn_T to do a ground slam, which also deals area of effect damage.

Rank 2 of the Combat Tools skill in the Combat skill tree, will increase melee damage to enemies by approx. 3%. Likewise, unlocking and using the Vanguard profile, will increase melee damage %, starting at 20% with level 1, increasing by 5% per level.

These may help in obtaining this quicker as the area of effect damage on the ground slam can become quite devastating with the proper increases in melee damage.

Do you need to do all of the damage in melee or just the killing blow?

As far as I know, it just needs to be the killing blow. Damage them as much as you want in other ways, just land the kill shot with a melee hit.

Melee is the button by default, but can be switched. You can tap it for a quick attack or hold it down for a more powerful blow. You can weaken an enemy with weapons or powers first, simply use melee for the killing blow on any 100 enemies to unlock the achievement. This can be done in both SP and MP, in any combination.

You can attack with your Omni-Blade right from the beginning of both the single player mode and the multiplayer mode by pressing while you are in close enough proximity and facing your enemy. Kills from both multiplayer and single player modes count towards this trophy and are cumulative in any combination of the two. You will likely get this trophy early on in your playthrough.

The best melee weapon for this trophy is the Asari sword. When trying to melee an enemy, you will teleport dash towards the enemy and hit them. You can spam this to hit one enemy after another on the lowest difficulty earning this trophy really fast.

The trophy can also be completed in a network game.

The easiest class for this trophy is the stormtrooper.
Using the Onslaught skill, we move towards the enemy and finish off with a melee strike.
I took it in a network game. Earned money in an evening of playing.

Can be combined with the trophy: Pull the enemy and while he is in the air, finish him off in close combat
