How to unlock the It's All In The Wrist achievement in Red Faction: Armageddon - Definitive Guide
* UPDATE: June 03, 2012 *
- About a week ago my computer crashed and I lost completely everything. I lost all of my Video Editing programs (I have them now), and all of my Edited, and Un-Edited versions of all of my Video Guides. So what this means is that, I cannot re-upload ANY of my Red Faction: Armageddon Achievement/Trophy Guide videos. That is why the links to all of my Video Guides for this game, on this website, are broken. I am very sorry for the Inconvenience =(
*All of my new Video Guides will be uploaded to my new Channel on Youtube: http://www.Youtube.com/WarzoneGuides

* You do not need to play the Campaign to get this Achievement *
- This is really easy to do. First, go into the INFESTATION game mode. Then go to Xbox LIVE or OFFLINE (If you don't have Xbox Live), and host a Private Match. Then go to the Upgrades option, and buy the "IMPACT BOOST" upgrade. The reason you need the boost, is because the boost will make the enemies go farther when using IMPACT. You need 1000 Salvage (Money) to buy this. You can easily get Salvage from playing 1 or 2 waves in Infestation. Once you've bought Impact Boost, load up the map "Dust To Dust". Make sure when your picking your weapons, to press RB to select the Impact Ability. From there, you want to look for the building on the highest point of the map. It should have a long bridge next to it. Then lure an enemy or two up there, preferably Creepers (Small Crawling Alien). Wait until he is just about on the bridge, and use Impact.

once you have completed the part where you gather the 3 power cells there will be a cutscene where your given the objective of repairing the water pumps. After the cutscene is over walk foreword until you come to a large round hole in the wall. This is the entrance to the first water pumps area. There will be creepers that constantly spawn from pods here so if you fail you can keep trying. Walk close to the entrance and use impact, this should send the creeper flying down over the railing and cause it to fall 3 floors down. The achievement should pop up right away.
For best results try knocking them off near the top of the pit; they'll have to fall farther.
Impact is your default nano power (). A good location to get this achievement is on level 11 after the cutscene where one of your chasers gets killed and you have to kill some enemies. There is a cliff here. Position yourself so that the enemy will go flying off of the cliff and this will add a lot of distance. It may take a couple of seconds to unlock because of the long fall, but within a few tries it should unlock. You could do this with any cliff, high up place, or any open place as long as the enemy doesn't hit an object.
Can be earned in Infestation mode.
To use Impact, tap when your nano charge is full and your character will release a burst of energy, capable of sending enemies flying and smashing through walls. Find an enemy near a cliff or other high location and use Impact to send them flying.
