What counts towards "High voltage" achivement to kill with electricity?
I'm starting to get annoyed at this one. It seems particularly troublesome to do.
I'm sure it is confirmation bias or something but it seems that most of the time I just barely manage to not kill enemies with electricity.

Ok. So I assume that the technicians charge coils counts as electricity damage? And since I get the floating kill indicator whenever something does to the coils (and isn't killed by the bots that are just out to ruin my day) I assume they count towards the achivement even if they are next to useless for actually getting the kill with them. Does any technician skill mod remove them from being counted as electricity damage? Does any mod improve their usefulness for killing stuff with them?
Does phalanx shock pulse kills count towards the achivmenet? What about the aftershock mod? Does that ruin it? I have read that the concussion modifier ruins it, but the ammount of aliens ive killed with the shockpulse should have gotten to 1 000 already so I'm starting to doubt the ability as a whole.

I have read that N79 EVA Laser kills might count towards high voltage total, but I dont see any icon for electrical damage on the mobs i hit but dont kill with it. Does it count?

What about the consumables? Does electroshock popup mine kills count?
does the hardened electroshock sentrygun help with the achivement?
Does electroshock rounds mean the killshots count as electric? or does the aliens have to die to electro damage over time and not to the actual shot?
Does static grid help in any way to get this achivement?

Does killing "placed objects" such as unactivated maintenance synths or eggs count towards this achivement?

I don't fully know, hopefully someone else can help. However, throwing electric coils at eggs in campaign 4 counts when they kill the egg.

Does this count for all eggs, only opened eggs, or only unopened eggs?

Doesn't matter whether egg is open or not, it still counts as a kill.

Does difficulty matter?
I assume not, but I'll regrett not asking.

Do it on casual. Go to the final campaign, map 3 and gear your entire kit towards your electric coils cooldown and radius. Aim for the eggs and keep the bots back. It took me about 4-5 map runs of this to kill 1000+ eggs. You'll get it eventually. Just keep grinding!

I am gonna do this if the new plasma rifle doesn't count. I know it probably won't, but I am hoping. Is it too much to get an ARC weapon?
