How to unlock the Break All Their Toys achievement in Quantum Break - Definitive Guide

I found a pretty good spot to farm this really quickly without any real danger of getting shot or having to avoid other enemies while trying to get this. Either load up the stage below on any difficulty or keep an eye out while you are playing the stage. Proceed through the level until you get to the part where you have to disable the Chronon Dampener and take out the enemies when you're looking for Dr. Amaral.

Once you jump down onto the platform right before the sphere (red dome) you will hit a check point making this the perfect spot to get it done really quickly. Basically all you do is walk into the dampeners field in front of you and wait for the enemy that is on the platform below you to turn around or walk up the stairs. Once he does this shoot the device (chronon harness) on his back, reload the checkpoint then rinse and repeat until your achievement pops.

Difficulty: Any
Required Amount: 15
Level: Monarch Gala - Act 3 Part 2

Sorry samsaBEAR to see you're having trouble with this. I myself had no probs with getting the achievement here. Just make sure you're actually killing the enemy by shooting the harness.

For anyone having problems with the check point, go further into the area and get yourself killed, it should then give you the checkpoint on the platform.

My check point is good except for the guy is miles away takes around 1 minute to walk from the top, down and around. I also found sometimes he sees you thus negating the the harness achievement. It works though, so thumbs up from me even if it took me longer than I thought.

OK. After a few goes I got this to work perfect.
To get the checkpoint, just wait while the guy walks around until he gets to the point in the video, THEN walk forward to trigger the checkpoint.
I used the Burst Pistol to get the kills. You'll know it worked if the enemy explodes rather than just dies. +1 smile

I'm not getting credit either. I shoot him in the back and nothing.

Edit: I don't thing it works with burst weapons. I wasn't getting credit until I started grabbing the Carbine Rifle and aiming for the packs.

Burst weapons worked for me. You'll know you hit the pack when it propels the guy. You'll also hear a distinct stutter sound effect.

This popped for me while I was standing in an elevator and outside there were some scripted deaths where the Shifter monster was killing enemies.

I think the Shifter must've popped their chronon harnesses and the game attributed them to me doing it. shock

Is anyone else having any problems with this? I'm definitely hitting their harnesses but it's just not adding to the achievement.

Also for some reason I can't get to checkpoint in the video to work, I do everything the same but when I restart it puts me further back, just before you have to jump around the cliff. Anyone have any ideas?

Whenever you find yourself in a stutter, and there are enemy guys roaming about freely, then they have harnesses you can destroy.

There are basically 3 kinds of enemies wearing harnesses:
1.) Normal enemies who simply move within stutters.
2.) Enemies with larger harnesses that can dash about, and be annoying.
3.) Juggernauts who you can only really take down by destroying their harnesses.

As I played through the game, I found group number 1 to be the easiest to farm. It only takes one bullet from your pistol to destroy their harness, and they are pretty dumb, even on Hard, so sneaking up behind thm is not that difficult.

Group #2 takes a few more bullets to take down, and you can not really stop them with your time powers. They are way to spastic to get consistent clean shots on their gear.

Group #3 are gimme's, but they are few and far between. I am almost done the game, on Hard, and I have only seen ~5 total. The big guys alone won't snag you this achievement. FYI: Using a shotgun or Light Machine Gun cuts them down fast. Using the Time Rush ability, I would simply run up behind them and fire away a couple of times, and they were toast wink

I found a decent place to grind this out was on the bridge during Act 4. Getting to this place has a few of the #1 enemies, but the sweet spot is after you make your way past the roadblock where the game saves, and you have 1 Juggernaut, 2 of the spastic guys, and 3-4 of the 1-hit wonders. There are also cars around that you can throw your time stop bubble around, fire off a few rounds, and get the Area Effect achieivement as well.

Questions, corrections and neg vote justifications below.

You can get this easily right after this enemy type is introduced. They're are five of them, so if you're accurate and quick you can restart from the checking just twice.

Three easiest way to expose their harness is to hit them with Time Shield, which throws them back. You can then Time Dodge into them, which has a good chance of turning them around, or you can dodge past them and turn around yourself. Their harness will be right in front of you and ready for shooting.

The best weapon is the shotgun, obviously, as a solid hit will blow up the harness in one shot.

Here's a video of me doing this:

Enemies wearing the Chronon harnesses are immune to some of your time powers. You'll first encounter them in Act 2 Part 2 after jumping over the armored truck. For this achievement, Time Dodge towards them then press to Time Shield, knocking the enemy off of their feet, giving you the opportunity to blast off their harness.

Another spot to get this is Act 5 Part 1, 2, and 3. Use your Time Rush ability and run up to an enemy wearing the chronon harnesses. Then as you get near, a prompt will appear over there head. Press it and you should do a takedown that will destroy their harnesses. You will only destroy the monarch strikers harnesses this way (guys in white). The technicians (guys in orange) you will need to use Time Rush then get behind them and shoot at their harness to destroy it.

For some reason, I did it myself when it was 80% full at the moment when the GG comes to Monarch and takes the elevator...

In the third chapter, you will find yourself in a laboratory where there will be a Chrono Stopper, a device that allows you to turn off your abilities. You turn it off. Just outside the door from the Time Stopper, there will be a soldier with a time vest with his back to you. It won't be difficult to break it. Reload the checkpoint and you will find yourself back at the Chrono Stopper. There's an enemy at the door. So 15 times and the achievement is yours. It took no more than 5 minutes.
