How to unlock the It Lives! It Sniffs! It Conquers! achievement in The Surge - Definitive Guide

This achievement coincides with the Melting Down and Infidel achievements as each Smelter Bot that you kill drops a Shining Coin. Collect all 5 of these and then head to the vending machine cult (see Infidel Achievement) and interact with the Iron Maus machine. The secret door should open, simply grab the armor and the achievement should pop.

Beware, dying as a smelter bot dies can bug out and the shining coin will disappear too. This happened to me and I had to go to NG+ to finish it.

I ended up picking up the armor about two minutes after my internet in my area went down. I didn't hear the ding pop after a few seconds and then noticed the internet was down. I was hoping it would unlock after my xbox got reconnected but no luck. I have to hope that picking it up in NG+ will unlock it with it my inventory already.

For me, a shining coin was placed into my inventory automatically after taking down each smelter bot. I didn't have to pick up something.

After redeeming them at the Iron Maus vending machine, they're still in the inventory.

In order to obtain this trophy, you will first need to destroy all 5 of the smelting machines and obtain the shining coins that they drop after. Once you get all 5 of the coins you will need to go to Central Production B. From here you will need to go to the area where the robots where gathered around the iron Maus vending machine. You will need to interact with the machine and it will insert the 5 shining coins into it. After that the wall will open up and you will see the Iron Maus gear sitting there. Go up to it and interact with it in order to obtain the trophy.

Once you have collected all Shining Coins as outlined in "Melting Down," return to the Vending Machine Cult's location described in "Infidel." Now, interact with the vending machine, and collect your very own Iron Maus gear as well as your achievement.

To get the trophy, you first need to kill five healthy smelting machines (large, yellow, do not attack until you approach, it’s impossible not to notice). Each of them drops one coin. Having collected five coins, go to the vending machine in the second location (which several mobs pray to).
Throw five coins at him and get armor.
On the way to this trophy, you will get two more: "Melting Down / Melting Point" and "Infidel / Infidel".

After a patch, coins do not fall out, as in old videos on YouTube, but come to you directly (not in the Inventory, but in the JOURNAL, like quest items - I spent a lot of time before I finally found them, and stopped sinning due to bugs)

If in a room with an elevator in the same location where there are 2 tractors, you press a button, then the machine will remain 1, but 2 coins will fall from it. I checked this on my second playthrough. The same thing happened.

To get the trophy, you first need to destroy five healthy smelting machines, thereby earning five coins (at first they were carefully picked up from the site of the broken machine, but with the latest updates they began to be automatically added to the Inventory exactly after its destruction), and then take the coins to the vending machine, which in the second location , near which several mobs are praying, and for killing them a trophy also drops. Looking ahead, I’ll note that you can destroy the fifth car no earlier than closer to the end of the third game location.

Location of melting machines:
No. 1 is located in the first location (available almost immediately);
No. 2 and No. 3 - in the second (it is impossible to miss, they rub next to each other, for the convenience of destroying them one by one, they can be separated by pressing the corresponding button at the control point - take the elevator - and changing the program of the machines);
No. 4 - in the third (lower right when reaching the surface);
No. 5 - in the second, but it is possible to open the door to it only after upgrading your Drone with the BOTEX power unit (we find it at the end of the third location - in the meeting room with Dr. Chavez).
