How to unlock the Close Scrape achievement in Starlink: Battle for Atlas - Definitive Guide
The easiest Prime to do this on is the Master type. This type has three health bars, the third one being the glowing part on its tail. After it turns the ground to lava, get hit a few times to drop your long bar and take out the tail with just your short bar glowing red.
Easiest to do this with an Extrator. Destroy all of the nodes or enemies around it, expose the core and blast away until it's got very little health left - then let it hit you with energy waves until your shields drop. Finish it off before they start recharging and the achievement is yours.
It's best to do this on a planet where you haven't built any Armories yet, as the Vigilantes that appear will "help" you take down Extractors and Primes. Normally that's a good thing, but for this achievement you'll have to time the killing blow just right, and it doesn't count if a Vigilante lands it for you.
