How to unlock the Taste of Your own Medicine achievement in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - Definitive Guide
For me the key was to not get over committed to using the Uberghewer, wanting to get one more shot in was getting me killed. Clearing infantry and softening up the last Zerstorer before taking potshots with the Uberghewer, dropping and relocating if he doesn't go down allowed me to get it on my first try with that mindset. It seemed like the infantry continued to spawn throughout the fight?
This achievement can either be obtained during the final boss fight of the main Campaign or at the very end of the Riverside, New York district. This solution will assume it is being attempted at the latter location.
Towards the very end of this district (this district can only be unlocked with eight Enigma Codes after all of the other Übercommanders have been killed and their death cards have been collected), there will be a Zerstörer guarding the Übercommander (or Commander, if replaying this district after already having killed the Übercommander).
For the purposes of this achievement, you must destroy one of the Zerstörer's arms in order to use its Übergewehr. This can be done by shooting at the shoulder joint on either arm until the armor pops off and then, later, its arm breaks off entirely. Now race towards the debris, pick up the high-tech weapon, and run away.
With some distance between you and the Zerstörer, begin to fire up the Übergewehr by holding . Release the trigger and the weapon will fire a powerful black hole-like energy projectile at the mech. Do this as many times as necessary (likely just two or three times) and the Zerstörer will be destroyed, thus unlocking the achievement.
