Fastest way to get Trick Shot achievement?
This one is pissing me off honestly. It's totally reliant on luck whether enemies will line up in the right way. Any tips on the fastest way to do this?

Currently I'm just restarting every time until I get the dam level, I have a pilot with +1 reactor and putting it into +1 damage for the Janus cannon, and hoping to kill 3 with a dam shot. But even then, most of the time I don't get the dam on the island, or the dam is poorly positioned and the Vek never stand in the right place... this achievement is so frustrating!

It's easily one of the hardest and most random achievement to get. Do not play on Easy as you'll have trouble getting enough enemies. That's where the Boss Spider can be useful too (yet I don't think spider eggs count). Try to arrange your mech in a line that also align with buildings mid fight to force the vek into a good configuration. Naturally try to get 3-damage asap, it should be perfectly feasible by the end of the first island.
There's no "fastest way", it's dependant on random enemy placement so...

So I finally got it. This is probably the fastest way, but it's still luck dependent. You only need a starting pilot with +1 reactor.

Put your pilot in the Mirror Mech and give it +1 damage. Select Archives as your starting island. Look to see if the Dam level is one of the starting two levels. If not, abandon timeline and start over. Look to see if the Dam is *near the Vek spawnpoints*. If not, abandon timeline and start over. You don't have time to waste on doing levels with a low probability of getting the achievement.

Keep restarting until you get the Dam level with Dam close to spawnpoints. Once you have that, it's just a matter of getting 3 ground Veks to be positioned in the path of the river. Killing them via the dam counts for the 3 kills.

The +1 damage is mainly important to give you flexibility to get the achievement in more configurations. It lets you one-shot the dam so you can take advantage of a good configuration in the first turn. It also lets you kill dragonflies in one shot in case you don't have 3 ground veks properly lined up.
