How do you get the 'That Which Doesn't Kill You' achievement?

[manollette]

Most of the ways I found online from February talk about cooking a grenade while equipped with the armor that can prevent fatal damage, but I've survived a 380mm blast, a cooked grenade, and two 500kg bombs with that thing equipped - no limb injuries at all.

Keep setting off hellbombs with democracy protects, that is how I got it. You may get the get blown 25m and survive to boot.
Keep in mind apparently they have managed to make explosions not do proper limb damage; did not used to be that way, it certainly used to be get hit by an explosion to the torso and get saved by the 50/50 and the damage would inevitably break all your limbs.... though apparently we we also receiving double explosions so that may have been contributing.

But yeah, hellbombs.

What actually causes limb damage?

I pondered trying to get a friend to shoot my limbs with lowest damage weapon while I wear heavy armor.

I'd have to try it with heavy next time a friend's on - it kills you right quick with light armor.

See patchnotes. Explosive damage is currently bugged and can't break limbs. Do another achievement

I randomly got it while being shot by a rocket Devastator with the Save Death armour lol

No it can break limbs, it just is not doing so as intended. As I stated it is likely related to the whole "apparently we we taking double damage instances from explosions" thing they fixed and by touching it they obviously broke something else. Just use bigger explosions, hugging hellbombs is my suggestion.

ah so its a bug as of rn? ive been trying to get this achievement for the past day and im losing my mind

Crushing yourself with any support pod works as long as you have the "Democracy Protects" passive armor. Just hope for the best at that point.

Wearing the armor that stops you from dying 50% of the time and you will eventually get it.
