How to unlock the Robots Tend to Blow Up achievement in Vanquish - Definitive Guide

This achievement can be unlocked on any difficulty and on any level, assuming that there are three enemy units in the area.

To get this achievement, you must destroy three (3) enemy units with a single hand grenade. Odds are you will unlock this through normal gameplay as you work towards completion of other achievements. But here are some tips if you are struggling.

1.) Play on a lower difficulty: Lower difficulty means that the enemies have less health and will die easier from your grenade blast

2.) Upgrade your fragmentation grenades: I don't use the frag grenades all that often, so any time I picked up more grenades, I was working towards upgrading capacity and more importantly, damage. If you struggle to get three kills with one grenade, than try upgrading your frags first.

3.) Use an EMP: Its true that you can't outright kill an enemy with an EMP. But the EMP blast will stop any enemies from moving. So if you see a group of at least three enemies huddled together, hit them with an EMP grenade first, and then toss your frag.

4.) Pick your enemy: The red foot soldier robots, or the cannon fodder enemies, are the weakest in the game and they normally show up in large groups. Try to focus on these enemies to get the achievement more easily.

I have included a video to show how I unlocked the achievement, hopefully it will help clear up any other questions.

This can be unlocked at pretty much any point throughout the campaign. Two early points that stand out however are Act 1-3: Giant and Act 2-1: River. During the former you will encounter dropships that provide an opportunity earn this achievement as you can destroy the disembarking troops before they leave the ship and disperse. During the latter you will immediately encounter a number of Gorgie-USN and Chicane's blocking the path that are grouped closely enough together.

Throughout the game, you'll find several enemy robots grouped together, especially when they are dropped off from an enemy ship. Make sure you equip the hand grenade by pressing , then throw one () into a group of enemy robots. The regular red robots are the easiest to destroy.

On Act 1-3 (Giant), at some point Elena will say that the gates are open. On the northwest side, as soon as the gates open, there will be a number of red regular robots coming down the stairs. Just throw a grenade at them and the achievement is yours. If it didn't work, press and reload the last checkpoint. This time, throw an EMP Emitter first immediately followed a hand grenade. You'll get plenty of other opportunities throughout the game.
