How to unlock the Explosive Device Master achievement in MySims SkyHeroes - Definitive Guide

This achv may be the bitch of the bunch but it's not too tricky.

The smart thing to do is play through the whole campaign first. That'll give you all the perks you need, a stronger plane and also you'll definitely score a few takedowns towards the 25.

Then you need to go to Quick Play and do a free-for-all dogfight on the Chemical Lab level. There are mines at the top of the map. Then it's just a case of loitering near them and shooting at them when a weakened enemy is near. It can be frustrating but that's the legit method.

With online and split screen multiplayer you can also boost this but you'll probably get this achv well before you need to consider that route. I got it after one actual attempt at an explosive takedown (having presumably nailed 24 without trying on the campaign).

I only did 10 through the entire game, including takedown boosting. This was my last achieve. I used this video:

Here is an alternative method i found very effective. Go to Quickplay and do some races with 9 AI on easy, 10 laps (or more), any map will do the job. There are usually 2 good spots with a breakables on every map, after 2 or 3 laps you will know where they are. Just follow AI shooting them to red all the time ... and shoot the breakables at the right moment. This is a checkpoint race so AI will always stay on the path, passing breakables every lap, just time it right. It took me less than 10 min to get about 17 takedowns this way.

This method makes the most sense.

This trophy and the two that reference can be done using the method outlined in the “Supernova Master” trophy, but they’re much easier to do in Multiplayer with another person.

Go to Multiplayer. I did it locally with a second controller, but online should work, as well. Set up a Free-For-All Dogfight match with the same settings as specified in the “Supernova Master” trophy, except set the AI Count to 0 (zero). This way it’ll just be you and your buddy flying on the map.

If you’re trying to destroy missiles for the “Supernova Defense Master” trophy, pick up one of the two Supernova power ups and have your friend fire two missiles at you in quick succession. As soon as you see the missile warning on the lower left of your screen, deploy the Supernova with . Repeat as necessary.

If you’re going for mine takedowns for the “Mines Master”, pick a spot on the map that you’ll always deploy the mines and have your buddy crash into them. Repeat as necessary.

Finally, if you’re going for this actual trophy, then things are a slightly more complicated. Soften up your opponent with machine gun fire. When their health is low, have them fly close to (but not into) the mines on the map (not ones that you lay out). Tail them while they’re doing this and shoot the explosives when they’re close to it. Repeat as necessary.
