    Lets say you went through the entire game without Hijacking a Mech? well it happens.. and since you cannot do it in multiplayer and you don't want to start a new play through just yet?

    WELL THERE'S HOPE!

    Your game automatically brings you back to before the battle at Cerberus HQ. Inside the hanger you start in you will face a group of troopers, Centurions, Nemesis, AND an ATLAS MECH right off the bat.

    What i did was order EDI and my other companion to stay behind the shuttle so they wont do any extra damage to the mech and start making pot shots with a Mantis V at the Mech while clearing the troopers and such from flanking you. after aboutt 3-4 shots to the canopy the Canopy will break and you can snipe the Pilot right out just run and press "A" to jump inside!

    Zoku GojiraExactly how I did it. The Raptor worked great for breaking the canopy. And my squadmates left the mech alone even though they were right next to me, since there were so many other Cerberus targets. It's even right after a checkpoint, that's awesome.

    Jezza69I did it here as well. When you go up the ladder to use the console you also have a nice autosave to easily get the mailbox achievement as well.

    ardliveThumbs up. The other advantage of this spot is that it's right at the start of the mission, so you can equip a sniper rifle if you don't normally carry one.

    What you will need to do is equip a sniper rifle. When fighting an Atlas mech, stay in cover and only fire sniper shots at the glass in front. After a few shots, the glass will break. Once the glass is broken, kill the pilot with your sniper rifle. Once he is dead, run over to the mech and press A to climb in.

    Any questions just ask in the comments.

    Another really easy Atlas to hijack is the Mech that is dropped near the end of the "From Ashes" DLC. When it gets dropped near the life pod, I just hid in the building until it came close, pulled out my shotgun and let loose on the glass and broke the glass. Once the glass was broken, I took out my assault rifle, killed the driver and hijacked it. Just got the achievement! :) Just an alternate way.

    Zacry072This worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

    Doctor TikiJust wanted to add a variation of this method to make it completely dummy proof.

    You can simply climb the ladder there with your squadmates and nothing can hit you there. (It also gives you a great vantage point for when they send reinforcements in via dropship)

    The Atlas will even get stuck at the building and allow you to sit in near melee range above it shooting with your weapon of choice.

    WestsideSxEI've cracked the windshield and killed the driver twice now from the roof - both times the mech is too close to the building for me to hop in $%@!#$%@##$%@#$

    3rd time's a controller breaker?
