Achievement - Chalk it up to experience

[GGThatsAllFolks]

Whos actually done this?
There seems to be no info about it anywhere except for the obvious spoiler if you look it up
Have a marine that has 2............
But how do you achieve that,?
We can dismember aliens but a full playthrough I've not seen it happen to squad members yet.
Or is there a specific person that has to be rescued that I somehow missed?
I dunno

I'm assuming you're talking about losing limbs and getting prosthetics? It can be done. Never knew you could have two though. It's up to rng really, when a Marine would get knocked out or in coma state. Maybe it's something to do with special types of xeno like the warrior or queen? IDK what actually triggered my recon to lose an arm but it happened...

Yeh I've had some knocked out and dragged away but I've rescued them before they get fully taken, maybe I need to wait longer and see what happens. time to start throwing marines to be torn apart :D

Not dragged away. If they take them to a hole you just lose the unit. It's just a random chance it seems when somebody goes down. I've seen Marines die with a severed leg and the queen will straight rip somebody in half. It's playing with fire, but really the best bet is letting a Marine or two get schwacked and then carry them back to the APC.

[GGThatsAllFolks]

Uff. Especially with squad formation and positioning limitations with rng, and then having it happen potentially twice on the same marine on top of all that without them dying, this is going to take some time >.<

I have actually just unlocked that acheivement. It is a rng thing. Basically any melee enemy has the ability to lob limbs off if you are unlucky (or in chasing this achievement, lucky af). A xeno lobbed off an arm, and believe it or don't, a cultist claimed a leg. Try it with a Marine with the "weak" debuff trait. Less health so they'll go down more often.

I would like to see a screen shot of your team member now with prosthesis. That would baddass.

[Fannidan13]

I'm not sure how to do that... Never posted screenshots in the discussions tab before...

Do you get achievement when the soldier gets his limb cut off or after he/she is done with Medical because i don't think have 4 days worth of recoup available. I'm trying my hardest to get them messed and I'm almost there. But if i only have 4 days until the bomb, then i don't think they will recover to actually give me the award.

I could try my oldest save file and see if I have enough days for their rehab.

What would be really cool is if they come back and be a bionic commando and have real performance buffs. It would be pretty awesome if this were a thing either in a DLC format or just int he game itself. I mean Predator Hunting Grounds was all about waiting for Arnold to show up as the Terminator!

i have it but i saw only 0.5% of people do... that's crazy low odds 100% this game will be hard.

You need to have them undergo surgery and get the prosthetic limbs. On my nightmare playthrough I stuck around Dead Hills after I had finished the objectives and you have to extract, then I deliberately baited an alien out of a vent in hopes of losing a limb. Took a few reloads, but eventually a leg came off. Then the tricky part was getting the same soldier to lose another limb the next level. Eventually an acid splash in the middle of the group took his other leg off too. Good times. Achievement popped once he had two robotic legs. Wasn't that much of a time sink on the campaign. I still had 12 days left or so by the time I reached the last mission.

[MassImpact124]

when he had two robotic legs? Jeesus. I'm not sure if its worth the trouble!

[MassImpact124]

Still trying. Its easier than you think. I have two of my guys with mechanical legs. All you really need to do is run about in a circle and let melee attackers get you. Either aliens or men with pick axes. You basically need to have them get drained of all of their health to about two bars then it will randomly happen eventually.

You guys are going for it way too complicated. Get a squad, load Atmospheric procesor. Send 1 soldier away to drop a sensor and drop a barrage close to APC. Run in with your soldiers close to the end, so only 1 rocket hits you. I got 2 amputees from one barrage, making the second limb much easier with 2 people to try it on.
