How to unlock the Wrecking Ball achievement in Red Faction: Armageddon - Definitive Guide
It's a simple concept. You hold and gather debris. You then aim at the enemy (or enemies) and release the button. All that debris will go crashing into your target(s).
The trophy will unlock once you vanquish your 20th enemy.

The Shard Cannon is obtained during checkpoint 1 near the start of the level "Falling Objects". After you have been informed that Shard Cannons have been detected in the area, your waypoint will highlight one that's been dropped so pick it up and make it your active weapon by pressing . To use the Shard Cannon, press and hold to collect some debris then let go of to launch the debris at any Cultists you see. After being fired, the Shard Cannon must cool down for a few seconds before it can be used again. The more Cultists you kill with one shot, the faster you will get this trophy.
If you run out of debris, blow up a structure and use the material from that as ammo.
The Shard Cannon is only found on the third mission (Falling Objects). You are instructed to pick it up very early in the mission. Hold to gather rubble, and release the button to launch the rubble at enemies. You must get 20 kills this way. If you don't get 20 kills your first time, any kills you get will carry over to a second playthrough. You can also reload checkpoints to accumulate kills if you wish.
It's very easy to get the achievement on Amateur difficulty.
At the beginning of the third story mission, you will pick up a fragmentation cannon near a killed enemy, and throughout the entire mission (the task is short, ends after the tunnel), eliminate enemies only with the help of this cannon.
The achievement will open closer to the tunnel or in the tunnel itself.
