How to unlock the Ride the Lightning achievement in Resident Evil 5 - Definitive Guide

At the end of the very first chapter you will reach a spot where a group of enemies appear.
A big zombie will break the gate after a while - now you can reach the open area, just run straight ahead and you will see a transformer hanging from a house.
Shoot it off and if the blast kills a Majini the chievo is yours, if you missed you can still shoot it from the ground and it will blast again.

it also really helps to take the AI character's weapons away otherwise they will keep killing all the enemies.

One good tip is you can keep shooting the transformer on the ground to re-activated it over and over.

The Mercenaries mode will let you pick the public assembly map, which has an electric transformer on it. Lure some enemies toward it, shoot one enough times to down it but not kill it so it’s low on health. Then shoot down the transformer so it deals the killing blow.

Difficulty: Easy

This is easiest on the first mission where you meet the executioner boss. When he knocks down the gate, run to the end of the larger area and turn around. Simly shoot the transformer down near a group and job done. You can shoot it again on the floor if you need a second attempt.

Again, end of Chapter 1-1. Once the Executioner knocks down the gate run out past him and look up to the left to see the Transformer (looks exactly like the achievement picture). Shoot it down once a Majini is near. If they don't die from the initial hit, you can shoot it to make it spark however many times you need.

There are two elevated transformers in the timed area in chapter 1-1. One rests on a pole near the bus while the other is further down by the steps in the stall area. There are actually two ways to kill an enemy with the transformer. You can either shoot the transformer while an enemy is underneath it to instantly kill it or you can shoot it to the ground and fire again once an enemy is close.

Here's a video showing how it's done:

A fairly simple trophy. When you find yourself near the transformer, wait until the enemy is near it, shoot at him so that the discharge kills the enemy. You can get this trophy in chapter 1-1 after the executioner breaks through the fence, and also during chapter 1-2 when fighting with comrades armed with chainsaws.

A very simple trophy. Just turn on Mercenaries mode level 1 of the game. Then there will be a transformer hanging on the pole, just shoot at it when the enemies approach it and the trophy is yours
