Titanfall

To unlock this achievement, you need to kill 5 enemies in a single shot using the Titan Primary Weapon, the Arc Cannon.

The first step in earning this achievement is to reach Level 21, which is when the Arc Cannon is unlocked. At which point, you can go into a custom Titan loadout and select it as your primary weapon.

What makes this achievement possible is the nature of the Arc Cannon. As the name implies, multi-kills come by way of shooting at a single enemy that is closely surrounded by other enemies, and after hitting the first, the electrical beam "arcs" outwards to the closest enemies, damaging them as well.

None of the enemies need to pilots, which is beneficial because they are not always killed by a single shot, while Spectres and Grunts are. That being said, this is the easiest way to earn this achievement:

Join a game type that utilizes lots of A.I. Grunts and Spectres (Attrition and Hardpoint work best, I earned this in a Campaign Attrition game), and play until you can call in your Titan. Using your Titan with the Arc Cannon equipped, head for the area of the map where the A.I. players are constantly being dropped down by pods. The location this happens varies by map, but it is often near the middle, or off to one specific side. (By level 21 you should have a fair idea of where to go in each map).

Since A.I. units drop in pods with 3 in each, you'll need to resist killing them until another pod drops, or until a couple other stragglers walk into fairly close proximity to a newly dropped pod. When you can see 5 enemies all fairly close together (no more than about 5 feet distance from one to the next), simply pick one, preferably the closest to the middle, aim, and fire.

You do not need to charge the shot at all, as even a completely uncharged shot will kill any A.I. unit, and the cannon's beam does not lose any damage when it arcs. If the enemies were close enough, the beam will arc to all of them within range, and kill them all at once. The achievement will pop almost immediately afterwards, so if it doesn't, then you'll need to try again. This achievement seems harder than it is, and if you follow that simple method, you'll likely get it very quickly. I earned this during the first match after equipping the Arc Cannon, without even attempting it.

Happy Hunting!

All Charged up



I actually got this on accident, when you fire your Arc cannon at enemies it will automatically hit all nearby units, if you use it a bit you should get this on accident like I did but if it just doesn't seem to unlock, this is the guide for you!

(For those who want to boost)

BOOSTING METHOD: If you create a session with 12 people you can run into each other by having the host's of both lobby's change their server to Japan West! Then search in Hardpoint Domination each other at the same time! Once you have a game, just meet up at a point (A,B, or C) and take turns killing 5 people in the titans!

Note: You get the Arc Cannon at lvl 21, make sure everyone has it attached in custom Titans before beginning the search!

Good luck and have fun!

This can be done on any level but I had success on the Campaign level "Assault On The Sentinel". You need to be at least level 21 to acquire the Arc Cannon for your Titan. The trick is to find a group of five or more grunts and spectres close together. You may have to wait for more to arrive via drop pods. Once there are enough hold the right trigger to charge your shot and fire at one of the enemies. The shot will then chain to the others, killing them in the process.

Simply play "Last Titan Standing" mode and bring out a Titan with an Arc Cannon (available at Level 21). In this game mode, it is natural for all the Titans to end up in one big rumble, blasting the heck out of each other.

Head into the rumble and keep blasting away with the Arc Cannon - there's a good chance that one good blast will spread through the closely packed crowd of Titans and then reach some of the plentiful weaker enemies on the ground (there's usually quite a few scampering about on the ground).

Hey guys. Great guides, here is a little tip that will greatly assist in getting this achievement.

Get the Amped Arc Cannon burn card. Either through buying it on the black market or earning it 'in game'.

Once you have it, apply it. It will increase the damage output of the arc cannon by about 11% and reduces charge time from 3.7 seconds to 2.5 seconds.

But, most importantly it increases the damage area of this weapon meaning it will be much easier for you to get multiple kills.

In this video 8 kills are achieved with the assistance of this burn card.

Have fun!

The other solutions will tell you all you need to know about the specifics. I'll just add that you don't have to get the kills yourself. My Titan actually popped this achievement for me in autopilot.

This can be done on any mode or level, though I found it easier on the campaign as there seems to be (IMO) more grunts and spectres around.

Anyway, to unlock this you first need to be level 21 to unlock the arc cannon as a titan weapon, then you need to kill 5 enemies (Pilots or NPCs) with a single shot. The electic shock will chain between enemies, so as long as there are 5 enemies in fairly close proximity the achievement should pop.

I unlocked this easily playing frontier defence solo, the longest part was waiting for my titan to spawn, there are tons of enemies.
