How to unlock the Homo Machinalis achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide

This one requires you to be at the end of the game. Upon seeing the Board members and entering the Nucleus, return to Barrett in R&D and kill him. He will not be hostile when you get there but you can hurt him still.

You don't have to enter the Nucleus, just visiting the board room and unlocking the Nucleus area is enough.

He has a new weapon on him as well when he turns, a twin rigged, so make sure you cut off one of his arms.

I met the board, killed the guard blocking the elevator and summoned it. Then I returned to R&D, and went back to the room where you originally met Barrett But he glitched out and I couldn't talk to him (he was acting like he was in front of a computer but he was standing next to the medical chamber)

Killed him and got the achievement anyways.

Don't kill him in R&D after the first time you see him.. might sound obvious.. but I did without realizing it was him. He's the guy in the blue labcoat that's not hostile... just saying

Please provide more information. This is supposed to be a guide, not a comment.

Well that's basically all you need to know, just return and kill him.

Missable
Location: Research and Development

After you get access to the Nucleus, go back to the research and development area. From here, you're going to go and revisit Barrett. The first time you saw him he was a human, this second time around he will have transformed into a machine. Kill him and you will earn your trophy.

Missable!

When you first encounter Barrett in R&D, don't kill him. Advance the story until you enter the Nucleus, then return. By now, Barrett will have transformed, and you are free to kill him for the achievement.

If you hit the duck before he turns into a terminator, you won’t get the trophy.

Video for this trophy - you will need to visit the board room and enter the core, make a save at the medical station and return to the BARRETT skeleton and fill it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1XtMK5d7MY

There is no need to enter the kernel and make a save. After visiting the meeting room, we immediately run and hit the terminator.
