How to unlock the Bursting the Bubble achievement in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified - Definitive Guide

Self explanatory. Later in the game you will run into many laser based weapons - pistol, smg, rifle. Use them to reduce the shield bar (light blue) of shielded outsiders (they will appear from the 2nd mission onwards.

Will pop during the mission, once your take down the 20th Outsider shield.

Just a note - I don't believe plasma weapons count towards this.

Pretty simple and straight forward. Equip your team with laser weapons as soon as they're available and reduce the shields of some enemies to vapor.

Shielded enemies glow blue and have a blue shieldbar over their health. Normally only high level aliens are shielded except when an Outsider Shield Commander is in the field. They can give shields to any ally.

The weapons to use here are:

- Laser Pistol
- Laser SMG
- Laser Pulse Rifle

You will know when an enemy is shielded when there is a blue bar above his health while targeting. Use any combination of laser weapons to bust their shield. You can even wait until they recharge it, and hit them again. The weapons that can be used for this trophy are as follows;

Laser Pistol, Laser SMG, Laser Pulse Rifle

All Commander and Elite Outsider type enemies have shields. Enemies will often not activate their shields until they see you, and all enemies have the ability to recharge their shield if it has been completely depleted. They are rare at the start of the game, and become increasingly common as the campaign progresses. The Laser Commander has the ability to give any enemy a shield. Laser weapons are the first set of alien weapons available. I recommend trying to unlock this early, as laser weapons are outclassed about half way though the game.

We take any laser weapon and demolish the aliens’ shields. In total, the game does this 20 times. Get it quickly. From about the second half of the game there will be a lot of laser weapons and elites with physical shields.
