How to unlock the Extreme Overcharge achievement in The Ascent - Definitive Guide
To unlock the Extreme Overcharge achievement in The Ascent, you'll need to deal a large amount of damage in one go to a single target affected by stasis.
You can pick up the Stasis Drone tactical tool as soon as you reach Cluster 13... assuming you can afford it. It's available from the Cyber Vendor for a pretty spicy 22,000 credits, but there's no rush — you probably won't be able to deal enough damage to unlock this achievement until later in the game anyway.
Once you've geared up a bit, the best way to unlock this achievement is to use your Stasis Drone to freeze one of the large enemy types, as the damage threshold for making them explode is way higher than for regular grunts. You then want to damage them to fill the blue bar before the stasis effect wears off in order to detonate the enemy and deal that massive chunk of damage, although you may find that you need to power up your weapons if you can't fill the gauge in time. Similarly, you might get the explosion but still not pop the achievement, which likely just means that your guns aren't strong enough to dish out 4,000 damage needed in that short window, so you'll need to try this again later in the game.
I popped this with maxed-out weapons (the Overwhelmer or any shotgun should do the trick) on a high-level brute enemy, so I'm not sure just how early you could theoretically pop this. But by the time you reach the end of the game, you should be more than strong enough to just head to any location, find a big guy, freeze him, lay into him, and pop this achievement.

Since NO ONE mentioned how to get to scrapland and for SOME REASON the devs left out being able to fast travel to all places you discovered (somehow they're like OOOH NO WE CAN'T HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL HERE)
This is how you get back to scrapland
Fast travel to Arcology: The warrens; run to the left; take elevator to high street then fast travel to scrapland.

For this achievement, you will first need a way to put an enemy in stasis. The best way I believe is the Joyrun Dragon augmentation. You could also use the Stasis Drone tactical tool, Stasis Stomp aug, or anything else - but I think Joyrun lasts the longest and is the easiest to control. Once you have that, you need two more things: a large enemy with a lot of health, and a strong weapon you can dish damage out with quickly.
Your best bet for this would be against a boss that can be affected by stasis, a large mech, Heavy Monobot, etc. Clear out every other enemy and avoid damaging the one you want to try this on, then use your stasis ability to freeze the large enemy, and unload on them quickly. If you can dish out 4k damage before the stasis expires, the achievement will unlock.

We equip a stasis drone, upgrade any killer gun to level 10, I also took additional beetle and dragon augmentations.
We carefully place all the small robots at the tech dump, without touching the healthy blue one (they are right there where the taxi will take you). We put Blue into stasis with a drone, and lets a dragon and beetles attack him. And we shoot from a cannon. I managed to deal 6000 damage before the explosion.

When I went to extra. The champion received his mission there. I had it with me. In the equipment of the Crusher (not pumped up), a stasis drone from augmentations, a monobot shooter and pokey bots. Along the way you will meet a robot indicated on the map as a boss. I threw a stasis grenade, called the spiders and the shooter bot and shot at him with the crusher until he exploded. The trophy is yours!
