How to unlock the Firebug achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide
You can hit Firebug in this form after the spin and dash attack for a short period. Do one attack and go back and wait again. This is the safest method. If you have enough heal injection left, you can attack him also after the fire / burner attacks or the spining little legs but the chance that you get a hit from him is very high.
Stage 1
Here you must attack the legs. Equip something quick and agile I used the butterfly dual handed weapon.
The trick with the stage is waiting for his movements. So he'll shoo a spin attack run up to him and provoke him to do a leg attack. You can tell from his movements when he will do this. Dodge the leg then run in and bash a leg. Never be greedy.
Repeat this tactic. Run upto him provoke a leg attack Dodge then attack.
Stage 2
Here is where the real battle begins.
He will perform multiple attacks all deadly. You must destroy the central area on his body.
Run to the corner. Inbetween a column is an area where NONE of his attacks can reach you. You need to wait for his attacks to end then run out hit m with 2 too 3attacks then run back the corner. Do not target him otherwise this will interfere with your camera angles when you are trying to get in the corner.
While your waiting for his attacks to end you can use your drone. Damage is minimal but it all helps.
I recommend watching this clip. Unfortunately I didn't think to turn on my dvr until I realised I was gonna win
LU-74 "Firebug" is the second boss in the game. The LU-74 "Firebug" has 2 forms. The first form is when it’s in a crablike state. In order to damage this form, you will need to attack its legs after it jumps and falls down from the sky. Once it falls down run towards it and perform a slide attack and hit it once. Any more than that and you risk being damaged severely.
After you have weakened its legs enough, the Firebug will fall to the ground and you will have to attack the fallen leg until it breaks off. Keep repeating this and eventually you will have a little animation where you are blown back.
After this, the Firebug will transform into its second form. The Firebug will hover around the area. It will start off with either trying to ram into you or spinning its two arms around while flying towards you. If you get hit by these attacks, you have a great chance of being killed instantly. So, as it comes towards you, you need to side step out of the way. The best time to attack it in this state is to wait until the firebug charges at you not when its spinning its arms. After it charges you rush it and do a slide attack. Just do one attack and back off of it. If you do not, you risk being injured. Rinse and repeat this method and you will eventually destroy the firebug.

Story-related and cannot be missed. Firebug is the second boss. You'll encounter him at the end of Central Production B.
When the boss hits with any paw, it bounces to the side.
For each severed paw - a full charge of energy. For every knockdown of the boss - too.
The main thing with this boss is to keep your distance. Until you cut off all his paws.
Then get closer and hit as hard as you can while filling up with first aid kits.
In my case, it was the “Lynx” set, Level 2. Pipe Lv. 2 and 9 first aid kits of 90 hp each, plus an implant for Energy overflow of 30 hp.
