How to unlock the Clash of the Altered achievement in OUTRIDERS - Definitive Guide

Really easy to do. Elites are the one's with skull icons on the mini map. Switch world Tier to level 1 and just murder them with your skills. This can even be done mid combat.

Update: Skills that effect bullets will NOT count for this. Ability must damage and kill enemy without your weapon being involved.

+1 to running the Prologue but you need to kill outright with the skills - DoT effects do not appear to count.

I seem to be missing something cuz I’ve killed dozens of elite enemies using only abilities, but only 2 of them have counted

I've been trying to do this through campaign playing multiplayer, but it seems your teammates' shoots works against your achievement progression even if you hit and kill the elite using skills, that or I've been unlucky. I still need to try on single player

I did it replaying the side mission Payback on world tier 1, although because of tracking issues I had to kill the boss more than 5 times to get it unlocked

It's worth noting that Kills with skills which affect Bullets such as Blighted Rounds for Technomancer and the respective Skill for the Trickster do NOT count.

Did it replaying Payback on world tier 1, as @wolfzero01 said. Super fast, but had to kill the boss 5-6 times because of tracking issues.

Just did this reloading the prologue with my devastator. Worked a treat. One gravity leap followed by an earthquake was more than enough. Beware though, after dealing with one and waiting for my cool downs a couple of LMG guys who drop grenades on death spawned. Didn’t even think, just killed them and the second elite was JUST in the blast radius of the grenade which doesn’t count for the achievement.

By far the easiest way to do this is to just replay the Prologue 3 times on World Tier 1. Takes like 3-4 minutes each run, and you don't risk losing out of good rewards through natural progression, or the potential to mess up ongoing drops.

This is for Trickster.

Ive seen a lot of people having issues unlocking it so heres how i did it.

Put yourself on World Tier 1 and only use Cyclone Slice and no other skill. For a weird reason its the only one that seem to work for Trickster. Best place to do it would be Eagle Peaks as you go towards the radio tower. Ull get all 5 elites on yr way up.

Hope this help

discovered a few minutes ago you can damage an elite with temporal blade and still get credit, but the kill has to be done with cyclone slice. If temporal blade gets the kill, doesn't count.

this game is stupid.

best tip for trickster is: don't pick trickster

I killed a few elites using only Cyclone Slice and it wasn't registering. Took a hard look at all my gear and found an armor piece that was reflecting enemy bullets - aha! Sadly, elite kills still weren't tracking. Looked at my skills, and found a Pax skill called Spectral Strike which does damage; reset the Pax tree - success! Next three Cyclone elite kills all registered and I was done.

The easiest and fastest way was to switch to World Tier 1, then go to Eagles Peak. On the way to the Radio Tower, there is more than 5 elites on your way. Just make sure you deal with them with your skills only (ammunitions boost like poison, fire, and ice doesn't seems to count).

When reaching the radio tower, you should have unlocked the achievement !

I made a quick video on how I did this quickly so I could get it out of the way

Another tip I haven't seen mentioned is concerning Alpha Perforo. They are fairly easy Elite enemies (common in First City and Eagle Peaks).

In my opinion, these don't even require lowering the world tier considering they are purely melee enemies and seem to have less health than your usual Captain/Altered.

So these can be tagged up while playing the game normally.

This one is pretty straightforward but you'll need to be careful with it depending on what class you're playing. Elites are the big guys with a skull icon that have more health and hit harder than the scrub enemies. You need to kill them with your skills and your skills only. No actual physical weapons can be involved. Along with that, you need to make sure they don't get hit by any explosions, be it an explosive barrel or an unfortunate exploding enemy that was too close to them. You will come across far more than 5 Elites as you play through the story and even more when you have to play the Expeditions for Hitting the Jackpot trophy_bronze.png so just be sure to be mindful of them when you see them and you should have this in no time. 

If you find your skills aren't doing the damage you're hoping for, be sure to Mod your gear/weapons to enhance the skills you have equipped. Skills that require the use of a weapon (Pyromancer's Volcanic Rounds, Technomancer's Blighted Rounds and the Trickster's Twisted Rounds) should not be used for this since they do require you to still use your weapon. While they are "skills", the game will read them as just a general weapon shot.

Elites are enemies that appear as a red skull on your mini-map. If you are playing through the story on the highest world tiers as you unlock them, this likely won't come naturally as they tend to be bullet sponges and you'll want to whittle them down with guns or you'll die. Luckily, we can just finish the story and have max level and great gear, drop the world tier down to the lowest, and repeat some missions to then kill these suckers in a single skill use. So long as you don't use your weapons, you can use a different mix of any active skills any number of times to get credit toward this achievement, and repeat four more times.

Elite opponents are indicated by a skull on the minimap; even simple captains will do.
The Russian translation of the trophy is a little misleading - you don’t need to finish it off with a skill, but completely kill it with skills, that is, the damage should be done only by them.
Easy tactics - reach any captain, turn on World Level 1 before fighting him, kill him with 1-2 skills, die from the rest of the soldiers, repeat.

There are a lot of elites in the game. These are not necessarily (mini)bosses at the end of tasks. Even some kind of perfero-leader will do.
The MAIN thing is not to shoot. It is necessary that the enemy be killed from scratch to the end only by skills. So world level 01 will help.

By elite we mean named enemies (a skull in a red circle), ordinary elite enemies (just a skull) will not work. Done in 5 minutes in the first location with the quest "Reckoning", taken from a wounded soldier (the very first side quest), set difficulty to 1, extinguish in 10 seconds and die from the boss's henchmen, 5 minutes and the trophy is yours.

Another option: 1st level of the world -> location with monsters (for example, the Canyon of the Great Obelisk) -> we monitor those of them that spit poison and those that are larger and stronger than all the others.
2 big guys and 3 poisonous ones are very easily killed in one battle, for example, by a Tornado.

The main thing is to remove modifications from your equipment, which from time to time damage enemies in a radius near you (Electrified Shield, for example, or Burning if you have less than 30% health left) and put down your weapon, enjoy the skills.

Leave this achievement for later.
Reach level 30, there you will be dressed in purple.

Change the world level to 1 and move to any location, moving forward, killing everyone with 1 hit. As soon as you see a shard (a sign of an elite monster) on the minimap, run up close and extinguish it with your skills. You will need 1 - 2 casts.

So meet 5 enemies within 5 - 10 minutes, depending on the amount of damage.

IMPORTANT! You need to kill them ONLY with abilities. You cannot shoot at them, you cannot damage them with protective modifications of armor parts, etc., ONLY abilities.
