Going Out with a Bang Achievement

[(ACE)The Duke]

I'm currently trying to get this above achievement, but something isn't making sense.

I have finished off LOADS of elites (hounds, ragers, shotgunners, ogryn) with a single brain burst, but I've never gotten credit. Does the achievement require that you ONLY do damage with the brain burst?

I saw an old (2+ year old) guide that stated this achievement requires killing THREE elites with a single brain burst charge, which apparently requires starting the brain burst at 100% peril. Surely this isn't correct currently, since the achievement only requires killing ONE elite, but I'm wondering if there is a bug where they didn't fix the coding to match the description.

You need to overload yourself and explode and kill 1 elite that way.

So get an elite low near you and then
explode yourself (by exceeding 100% peril) and kill it.

the achievement says perils of the warp,, not brain burst

here's a video i made like 2 years ago how to get the achievement:

note: back then you had to kill 3 elites iirc. it has been changed to only 1 now.

You need to suicide into elites (like gunners lmao) while having peril overcharge (or whatever its called during 100%).

The text says you only need to kill one, but you do in fact need to kill 3 still.

o_O for me worked fine with 1 when they changed it to 1

[sergantuss]

remember when they was asking to kill 5 of elites with this or some stuff like that?
and it was doing like no dmg as well.

i legit was farming this achivement for 1 week+

Just move towards the enemy when you are about to explode, if you're lucky you might take out an elite.

its easier to get with a vet using the plasma gun. i don't know if you can still do it that way or not but that's how i originally got it.

Vet cannot explode from overcharging plasma gun anymore. It just does some shield damage and drops heat 10% when you try to fire it at 100%.

You explode from charged shot at high heat. If you had a game you'd knew it

Oh that might be true. Charged shot is inferior ammo economy and dps so no one uses it.

I don't know, I don't use fake mods with tuned numbers to promote specific agendas such as Macabian IV hysteria and increase specific forge worlds income. So I can't really tell if its bad or good. I know it works for me shooting shielded ogryns and bosses weakspots. And you explode with it.

Yeah, I believe you. The psykanium doesn't require any mods to test things like this, though.

the plasma gun can still explode from overheat. if you hold a charge shot past i think its 95 heat or more.

keep in mind this was from memory. the way i remember doing this after they added the vent special because i was trying out plasma gun. i was mad at the psykers targeted nerfs, so i swapped to my vet, it over heated in a game so walked into the hoard and i got going out with a bang and was surprised.
