How to unlock the Sometimes I amaze even myself achievement in Star Wars Outlaws - Definitive Guide

The Mercenary (Rooster Trace) expert has the skill you need and is found on Kijimi.

If you are having trouble with the timing, I would suggest using the original missiles (upgraded enough to one shot little ships) and wait to do the "loop" until AFTER you have fired. This way you don't need to worry about lining up your turn/shots or having to whittle health down.

Is anyone else having trouble getting this to unlock? I’m firing the missile and then looping but it won’t trigger the achievement.

Edit: Nevermind, I got it. I think the kill needs to be like half a second after the roll animation is completely finished.

Looping is done by pressing LB and RB at the same time.

Anyone know of a good location to find Tie Interceptors needed for unlocking the loop maneuver? I've only been able to fid Tie Fighters, even when getting a wanted level.

Thanks SPΛΙΝΤΞRCΞΛΛ, fixed my error.

Wolfzero01...They will start sending interceptors at you when you reach wanted level 2 or 3. If you pay attention to the radio chatter you'll hear them call it out. They will send them in pairs and if you're quick enough to take them out without raising your wanted level, they will keep spawning on you. If you reach the battle cruiser wanted level, you've gone too far.

@SvnFtr, yeah I was able to get it by going to Toshara and just flying into the fuel staion area, getting a couple of Interceptors and the going to one Imperial Terminals to clear my wanted staus. Was really easy to get the achievement afterwards

First things first, you’re going to want to unlock the Loop Maneuver as it’s not a standard move straight out the gate - and it doesn’t just mean a loop the loop either. The Loop Maneuver is a Rooster Trace (The Mercenary) Expert ability and is unlocked once you’ve done her Expert quest and defeated 15 TIE Interceptors; 12 enemy ships; and completed a space Smuggler contract.

That’s the hard part. Then, you want to head to space, find some pirates, and then destroy all but 1. That last one, though, damage it enough so that it only has a sliver of health. Then, position yourself so that you’re flying head on with it and once it passes, hit l1.png and r1.png together and you’ll flip around immediately and should be right on its tail. Once you have it in your sights, then, finish it off.

If it didn’t unlock, you weren’t quick enough, but the truth is we managed to do it first time, killing the pirate about 3 seconds after our Loop Maneuver.

Once he explodes into little pieces, the ‘Sometimes I amaze even myself’ trophy should unlock.

It can only be obtained after leveling up the corresponding skill with an expert.
