How to unlock the Weapon of Choice achievement in The Evil Within - Definitive Guide

During Chapter 3 you are required to clear out the enemies and get a gate open for the Doctor. Once you have cleared out the enemies you need a chainsaw to get the gate open and you have to get this off the Sadist who is trapped inside the barn. If you look around enough you will find explosive bolts and a crossbow which will help you kill him.
To get him to appear you need to walk up to the area he is trapped in and he'll break free and begin chasing you. So equip the crossbow and shoot him straight away with an explosive bolt and then make your way out of the barn and to the left and go left of the gate into the door, there will be a trap on the floor and as he's following you, run up the stairs and trigger the trap and this will kill him netting you the achievement.

In chapter 3 you have to clear through the small town outpost and defeat the sadist to acquire his chainsaw to cut through the chain on the gate locking you in. Once you clear the whole area of enemies keeping in mind to stay out of the ground floor of barn which triggers the sadist to break free, you should have acquired at least a couple explosive bolts and grenades. Go up the stairs on the exterior of barn to 2nd floor using your crossbow with explosive bolts set one bolt in front of the doors the sadist breaks through and another bolt at bottom of ladder that leads to 2nd floor. After explosive bolts are set in position on the 2nd floor goto railing over sadist now chuck all your grenades below damaging him and triggering his escape now sit back and watch him set off your explosive bolts he will be dead in 13 seconds on survival mode by the time he reaches the ladder. Afterwards claim your chainsaw and chest of ammo from where he was chained. Hope my strategy for the sadist helps.

*This solution will not unlock the trophy to defeat him using your knife.

If anyone is really struggling to kill him, I did this tactic on Survival difficulty. I would not recommend it as your first attempt, this is a last resort if you are very low on ammunition or really having trouble with him.

Okay, so I used the shotgun to shoot down the wooden door in front of him, then while he was reaching to grab his chainsaw which takes a good few seconds, I swapped to my grenades using the quick access feature.

I threw three grenades at him and he was only just about to chase me by that time so aim and throw them as fast as possible. Then I swapped to the Agony Crossbow and used an explosive bolt, firing it onto his body. Make sure he is not too close to you because it will blow you up too.

Once that exploded he went down. Don't forget to go inside where he was chained to open up the chest that was behind him.

This method is wasting all of your grenades so only really try this if you're stuck. (I had hardly any ammo and very low health.)

You can find the Shotgun and the Agony Crossbow in a house that has a fire burning in the living room downstairs on the same chapter (chapter 3) before you fight the Sadist. The crossbow is upstairs on a chair, there's some bolts on the wall. The shotgun is in a silver case downstairs.

This is story related and cannot be missed. He is not very difficult. You will just want to run from him and shoot. He is faster than you so a tip is to let him get a little close and dodge his attack. This is the perfect chance to let an explosive bolt rip or get some distance will shooting him.

Story related, and cannot be missed.
Towards the end of Chapter 3: Claws of the Horde, you will have to escape the village area past a horde of zombies and a chainsaw goon known as the Sadist. The Sadist himself is located in the barn behind some boards and barbwire. You can shoot the boards or throw a grenade over them to free the Sadist.

We recommend shooting your explosive traps on the ground in front of the boards before freeing the Sadist. Doing so will ensure the Sadist activates all three at once, stunning him from having taken too much damage at once. At this point he is hurt enough to finish off with a couple shots with the rifle or the shotgun.

If you are aiming for Knife Beats Chainsaw as well, then you can use the Flash Agony Bolt after the explosions to blind and stealth kill the Sadist. See Knife Beats Chainsaw for more details.
