How to unlock the Shield Breaker achievement in Mass Effect Legendary Edition - Definitive Guide

If you’re not playing as the appropriate class to bash this out nice and early, I’d recommend waiting until you’ve finished the Citadel DLC and have access to the combat simulator.

Once in there choose EDI and Garrus as they both have overload. Select Geth Elites as the enemy, (this is unlocked with silver tokens) as all of the enemy’s you’ll face will have a shield active.

Set the difficulty down to narrative and turn off the ability for your squad mates to use abilities unless you say so.

Now jump in and have EDI and Garrus cast overload until this is boxed off.

It took me about 15 minutes to complete

Confirm as well that this works! Unlike the original achievement.

Easily done during the Citadel DLC itself (the one that starts with sushi!). Most of the enemies you face have shields, and there's a section fairly early on where you have to get to an extraction point that has unlimited spawning enemies where this can be farmed if you like. My counter went from 70/100 to completion in just a few minutes.

Got the achievement over time going through ME3 using Overload from Garrus. Simple as that.

I can guarantee that you can do with squadmates. As I've just done it with Garrus and Kaidan (you can use EDI if you don't have Kaidan).

An easy way to do is on the mission "Arrae: Ex-Cerberus Scientists", right at the start there's an auto-save, you walk about 30 meters and there's Cerberus Operatives falling down on a Generator that provides shields. Up the difficulty to a level where they don't die from a single overload and you can keep farming the same guys. When they all die, the game does not auto-save, so you can load the previous save game and keep doing it until it's finished. Done in about 10 minutes.


EDIT:
Just added a video with these details:

Excellent guide. And since there's one shield soldier here, I also completed the Mail Slot achv. Thank you very much for sharing this location.

If you don't have this ability on your created character, Garrus and EDI will be your friends here. Use the Overload ability on enemies with a blue shield bar 100 times to unlock this achievement.
