Saboteur kills achivement

[Xeno]

Anyone figured out an effective way to actually use this skill? I am on my second play through and I did get the achievement in my previous games but it was like pulling teeth. Mostly I just used it every chance I got and it was dumb luck that a bad guy was close enough for me to get credit.

All around I think it is a ♥♥♥♥ skill that serves almost no purpose aside from destroying cult vehicles for resistance credit but I am a completionist and I am hoping someone knows a way to make getting this one more reliable then dumb luck.

This one has me baffled. I saw two guys on a boat, sabotaged the boat, swam 20 feet away and watched it explode but apparently I still have zero Saboteur Kills on my counter.

this is really easy. i saboteur a car when i was followed by a group of brainwashed zombies and keep doing circles around the car until it explodes. you get the achievement anyway

I didn't prioritize the perk until I had deSeeded the region so that's not really an option as I don't see any angels spawn at outposts. Angel bait has also reverted to spawning predators at this point, so that's not an option either.

I'm on outpost master - the existence of angels seems to be tied to whether Faith's facility is up and running, and not whether there are outposts that haven't been taken over. Any angels from the standard playthrough seem to be replaced by regular baddies on outpost master.

One location I did find which seems reliable is the truck in the middle of the Drubman Marina - there's a guy who looms around it close enough to be killed by the explosion if you get there undetected, but the truck doesn't respawn so it would require quite a bit of looping outpost master to get the achievement. So far I haven't found any other spots that don't require randomly cooperative AI.

Boats do not seem to count as I've just sabotaged my third one without any increment in the counter.

Game is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about giving you credit for kills sometimes. Like you can use an RPG to blow up a truck with 4 guys in it and it only gives you credit for 1 rpg kill. But I think Sharkiller is onto something. Using Angel bait to get them to go stand next to a truck you just sabotaged would probably work.

Though I have played the game through twice now and had more then enough perk points for all the skills I wanted without getting sabotage. Not worth the points in my opinion.

Yeah, I wasn't too keen on the skill itself, but I'd just like to get the challenge done.

So I tried looking at Sacred Skies and Nolan's and didn't see any angels. I also tripped an alarm on purpose at the Ranger Station so I could pop one of the reinforcement trucks, the explosion killed three guys and I still only have credit for the one in the Marina earlier. Perhaps it's a bug on my safe file :/
