Does it need to be on that particular mission or any away team mission in the Borg story arc? Do I need to change difficulty? In the Where Angels mission I was only able to be get all my team killed when we were fighting in the final lab. But then the Romulans kept fighting an ended up winning the battle. I'm still trying to be assimilated. Any other tip? Maybe a video? Thanks!

Update: I managed to do it after several attempts. Had to order the team to stay back in the level entrance, and even so, the assimilation was not in the first time

For those trying to get this achievement on the Tal Shiar mission, for what it's worth I tried for ages to get this from a normal Borg drone to no avail. It was only when I got to the Elite Tactical Drone in the room where you rescue the second team that I was able to get assimilated. I think it might be part of the mission that they attempt to assimilate you there. Just a thought for anybody else struggling with this one.

So, all you have to do is fail a Borg mission? You won't actually become a Borg? Sorry...I haven't touched the game yet. toast

Do I have to let only the captain be assimilated or the whole away team? Even if I fall the rest is the team is getting rid of the Borgs shock

This is upsetting. I can't lose well enough it seems. Butt naked crew and still nothing.

Just unlocked this on the Where Angels Fear to Tred Mission. The key is to not simply get killed by the Borg but to get killed by the assimilation debuff. This appears as glowing green sparkles around your character. The tactical drones will apply this to you as a mid-range attack (If they are shooting you then you are too far away). Once you have it, get in melee range and they will start hitting you for damage while the debuff causes damage over time and kills you.

Got this quite by accident while playing The Borg Invasion of Defera zone for Task Force Omega.

My preferred method of dispatching Borg is to use a Tsunkatse Falchion, I don't know if the CQC element of this technique had any effect.

During the mission "Where Angels Fear to Tread" which is played in the Borg Episodes, there will be an away mission section. Simply die during this part at the hand of the Borg. Do this by either taking off your armor and shield or just through natural combat.

While fighting the borg they will hit you will a debuff called "Assimilation." The debuff does a damage over time effect. If you are killed by the damage over time (not just dying while the debuff is on you) you will become a Borg. As a borg you will be an NPC that attacks your teammates. Its pretty neat.

Please note: if you are trying to fulfill the condition with a low-level character, then before starting the mission, you need to go to the game settings and change the difficulty from Normal to Advanced and then restart the task. On Normal difficulty, debuffs have a very small chance of being applied to the player character.

To receive it, you need to ensure that your character becomes part of the Borg collective mind. The easiest way to get it is in the “Borg Advanced” storyline in the “Where Angels Fear to Tred” quest. In order for the Borg to assimilate you, your character must be killed by the Borg while under the assimilation effect. It looks like these green stars around you. In this mission, any tactical droid can give you this effect when you are at a medium distance from it (if it shoots at you, then you are too far away from it for this attack). Once you get this effect, run into the crowd of Borg and let you kill your captain.

It is also worth noting that the trophy does not trigger when assimilated, for example, by the Borg from the mirror universe.
