The achievement unlocks when you obtain the three science weapons available in the Murder on Eridanos for The Outer Worlds DLC. The three weapons do not all have to be in your possession at the same time. The requirement is that you pick up each of the three weapons when you encounter them. You may pick them up in any order. Picking up the third weapon pops the achievement. The 3 science weapons are:
Spectrum Gatling Gun: The Taste of Purpleberry main quest takes you to the Rizzo’s RR&DD Labs. Once inside, Dr. Blossom talks to you through the intercomm. You can see her through a window but can’t go to her directly. As you follow the quest’s tasking, you will, eventually, end up in the room on the other side of the window. The Spectrum Gatling Gun is in a display case in the center of the room.
To access it, you have to consult the terminal near the weapon and complete the task, At the End of the Spectrum. This requires collecting all colors of Spectrum Vodka with the exception of brown—8 in all. If you don’t have all 8 colors, look at your map. Take the bridge in the upper right of the main (Hotel) island to get to Rizzo’s Distillery. Enter through the main door and then go through the door to your right. You’ll find yourself in a room with more than one bottle of each of the colors you need--red, orange, blue, indigo, black, green, yellow, and violet.
Once you have all 8 colors, access the Spectrum Gatling Gun terminal in the Rizzo’s RR&DD Labs. You will lose one bottle of each of the 8 colors and the weapon case will open. Pick up the Spectrum Gatling Gun.
Udder Buddy: Cross the Bridge to the Wilderness. This is the largest ‘island’ larger than the hotel island. The main quest, Productivity Queen, will take you there but you can access it before you get the quest. Once across, take the elevator up and follow the path forward a little ways to LEGAL Hunting Supplies.
Talk to Mildred Lenox, on the customer side of the counter, to get a very simple side quest: Lost Little Milkmech. You have to find the lost auto-mechanical, Betty. Make the side quest active and kill the canids at the marker. Note that one of them is a mega-canid. Betty will return on her own. Go back to Mildred to get your reward that includes the Udder Buddy.
The Needler: The weapon does not become available until late in the game and is missable. During the Naked Hunch main mission, you must side with Ludovico or against him.
If you have been obtaining the weapons as they become available, The Needler will be the third and final science weapon on Eridanos. Obtaining it will pop the achievement.

The Needler: The weapon does not become available until late in the game and is missable. During the Naked Hunch main mission, you must side with Ludovico or against him.
- Siding with Ludovico: This leads to The Story of Two Disasters quest. Go to the Pilothouse. Defeat Sedrick and flip the switch behind him to stabilize the reactor. Go to the PHAETON terminal. Someone will try to stop you. Kill your adversary and loot the body to obtain The Needler.
- Siding against Ludovico: You end up in the penthouse with a new partner during the The Bird Drug mission. Pickpocket or persuade (skill check 40) your new partner to obtain The Needler.
If you have been obtaining the weapons as they become available, The Needler will be the third and final science weapon on Eridanos. Obtaining it will pop the achievement.

*MISSABLE*
There are three science weapons to collect in this DLC, the second of which on this list is missable.
Spectrum Gatling - to unlock the case this weapon is in, you'll need to collect one bottle of each of the 8 colors of Spectrum Vodka. While they can be found scattered around all of Eridanos, the easiest way is to head to the northeast island and into the Rizzo Distillation Station. Head into the room on the right side with the bar, and on that bar you can find each of the 8 colors to pick up. The weapon itself is found in the RR&DD Lab on the southwest island (you'll go here early in the story). Interact with the terminal to deposit all 8 vodka bottles, opening the case so you can collect the weapon
The Needler - this weapon is in the possession of Helen. Toward the end of the story you'll be able to choose who to side with. If you choose to side with Helen, when you talk to her at your penthouse you can use Persuade 40 to convince her to give it to you. If you choose not to side with Helen, when you kill her you can loot it from her body. If you don't get it from her, she isn't there anymore after you finish the story, meaning this weapon is missable.
Udder Buddy - shortly after you enter the northern island, the Wildlife Reserve, you'll come to a hunting shack with an NPC standing at the counter named Mildred. Talk to her and accept her side quest. Complete this simple side quest to get the science weapon from her.

You will receive Spectral Gatling if you have 8 bottles of vodka of different colors in stock. They are all called “color” vodka. So don't sell them, they are all scattered around the first Loki they open. Also, if you sold it, then when you go through the game you will find more, but I’m not sure that all the colors are there.

The Needler can be requested from the girl immediately after completing the "Escape" quest and the beginning of the new "Volatile Remedy" if you supported her and not Louis, otherwise you will need to pick it up from her body.
