Penetrating Defenses (1000 break hits in total)

[.]

Does anyone know how to do this in-game achievement? I somehow managed 47.20% out of the 1000 but can't seem to get how it increases once in a while by small amount of %. Tried with both weakness exploit and pulverize on/off.

I tried:
1. using electric attacks (mainly gravity cannon/machine gun electric beams to make the stars appear)
2. tried melee without electric attack and waited the enemies with stars spinning on top of their head

None of the above increases the 47.20% to 47.21%.

Hmmmm.....

The annoying thing about getting break hits specifically is not oneshotting the enemies.

I think it would be easiest to do on a boss. You'd bring one weapon strong enough to break them and then a weak high RoF ranged weapon to farm hits while they're broken.

So like....build around your favorite melee weapon to be strong and then bring one of the machine guns with little to no apps installed for it.

It's easier to do early on, but if you're in lategame progression, bosses will auto-break their guages after certain attacks, and the VAS that aren't introduced after first clear are prone to putting themselves very close to break state and usually have one of the resist chips on. I actually recommend packing two single handed machine guns and electric bullets for this, as they do a lot of hits and fairly decent guage damage, but dual wielding ranged weapons practically capsizes your damage output if you don't have the appropriate dual wield chip.

Weird, I definitely didn't outright kill most arms. It pops up like 5-10 breaks and few fatalities for enemy arms, probably hundreds against same colored bosses.

I removed all dmg increasing chips except armor break and even use the 3 cost chips that lowered my beam/ranged dmg (using electric dual machine gun / dual gravity cannon). Yes, I turned off the dual gun chips too.

I think I figured it out, it should be mistranslated or reverse bugged?
The % goes up very fast when I ran out of energy with stars on my head and being mobbed by other enemies. lool,
The maxed rapid charge mod is not helping too.

edit:cleared this in-game achievement after afking and getting mobbed on floor 1 after a while with lv1 charging tenacious skill
