How to unlock the Fist Meet Ground achievement in Saints Row IV: Re-Elected - Definitive Guide

Death From Above is unlocked very late into the game

A Death From Above kill is achieved by holding cn_LT whilst in the air which brings up a reticule on the floor to aim using the cn_RS you can them press cn_RT and your character will dive into the ground damaging anything below it.

There are a few ways to grind this out but im going to assume that you have completed the story for the bulk of my solution but it is worth mentioning that there is apparently an exploit of sorts for the final mission where...


Firstly you'll want to find a Hard difficulty Super Powered Fightclub activity, there is one in the centre of the map (Shown in the video) start the activity and complete the first wave.

Now you'll start the second wave which is King Of The Hill, ignore the hill and instead stand on an open flat area. Several menu with bats will continuously come for you and agro to you now which is perfect as these still count as aliens. Jump in the air cn_A and hold cn_LT now if you havnt already equip your freeze blast cn_left and wait until there are 5-7 enemies and blast them with your freeze blast cn_RB then whilst they are froze press cn_RT to perform a Death From Above attack. The kills will come up as shatter kills for the freeze blast BUT they will count for your Death From Above kills.

You have plenty of time on the counter to get all 100 but if you happen to fail make sure you EXIT the activity to start over else your kills will not count for your challenges (Though the achievement tracker will keep progress)

Here's a video.

I was able to get a couple kills to count but none of the others did. I'm stuck at 80%. I have one main mission left and "I am Become Death" is counting, as is the Death From Above challenge but NOT the achievement. WTF?!

EDIT: Nevermind, the tracker was bugged lol... Got the achievement, thanks for the suggestion.

If you haven't completed the game already another great spot for kills is on the last part of Grand Finale. The objective is to protect CID and you can just hop platform to platform using the power. Personally was able to get 50+ just at that spot alone and finished the achievement it on the second part of Grand Finale.

My tracker isn’t working on Xbox, but in game it says I completed and I didn’t fail the event

If you have complete the Story already, the Genki Holiday Challenge is also a good way to get the achievement in about 10-15 Minutes.
Locations:

Easy: Stanfield, north Burns Hill
Medium: New Colvin east Rosen Oaks
Hard: Downtown, north-east Sunset Park

All you have to do is to wait for the Ginger Bread People. They come in two cars and and they are usually 6-8 of them.
Now you must jump as high as possible (jump from the ground is often enough) and use your Death from above ability:

In the air you must press cn_LT to point your target, after your have aim with cn_RS you can press cn_RT.

Happy Hunting :)

See "I Am Become Death" for a good place to grind this achievement.

Death from Above is unlocked after rescuing Gat from him simulation. Death from above is performed by jumping up in the air and holding , aiming the attack with and then to slam down fist first into the ground. This is really effective against large group of enemies.

Death From Above is one of the last Super Powers you earn. Unlike the other Super Power attacks, this can be used anytime after you unlock it and does not need to be switched to. This is also very similar to the Stomp Super Power. To use this, you jump in mid-air and hold . Then you can aim where to attack, so aim at an enemy or a group, then press . You'll smash into the ground and cause damage to them. The main problem with this is that it may take more than one of these to kill an enemy off, so it is best to weaken it first. After killing 100 enemies with this power, you'll get the trophy.

A very good way to grind this is to load up a virus upload activity that has Genkis instead of Aliens. The best one is in one of Pierce's side quests, you need to kill 101 enemies. These enemies will die in one hit from any super power so you can get close to the allocated amount of kills, then leave the area so it resets the activity. Once the timer hits zero, run back and start the activity again. Another method if you've done this is the hard fight club. The second wave is a king of the hill, just stay out of the area and kill the weak enemies that will flock to you.

The "death from heaven" ability will unlock after the mission to rescue Johnny Get.

To quickly get this trophy, I advise you to go to the fight club. Reach the 2nd wave, where you have to stand on a point and thugs with bats are running towards you. We collect a pack of 7-10 bodies, freeze them and make a blow from heaven. You can do it in 5-10 minutes + such a kill counts towards the “I became death” trophy.
