How to unlock the Brutality Bonus achievement in Vanquish - Definitive Guide
The Romanov is one of the bigger robots you'll come across in the game. It is grey-colored, has some nasty weapons and a red weak spot on the back. The Romanov appears for the first time in Act 1-3 (Giant). You'll find Romanovs in three forms: rocket, drill and flame types.
Before taking care of the Romanov, focus on the regular red robots and take them out first. Once you've taken care of the regular ones, destroy a Romanov's leg and arm to start with. Going into AR Mode will make it easier to focus on particular body parts. Once he's just a pile of scrap metal crawling on the floor, shoot him a couple of times to deplete his health bar. Then once he's about to be destroyed, walk up to him and press to finish the job, giving you the achievement for it. If it didn't work by just disabling one leg/arm, try to get them both out of service, especially on harder difficulties as destroying all legs and arms will destroy the Romanov on casual difficulty.
Since you have to finish him of with a melee attack to get this achievement, it will also unlock the "Romanov This!" one.
We act in the same chapter as for The Hand of God 2-1
1. In slow motion, shoot at Romanov's leg, after which he will crawl.
2. In slow motion we shoot at Romanov's hand.
3. In slow motion, we hit him with a running hand ( ).
