  ACT1:Light House; James Stein
  
  At the Light House talk to James Stein, at the top of the Light House. You'll want to look for the side quest called Counsel of Despair. For finishing the quest you'll get a torch mod. Using 2 Rags, 2 Glues and 2 Gas For Lighters and a weapon given you can create the torch once created the achievement will pop up.
  
  *Side Note: You should build up your Fury since there is a Thug found in the area while doing this quest. (It'll make things easier if you hate dealing with Thugs) - Side Note thanks to DNGRDOOM64

  The torch mod does work, but actually, if you don't wanna have to go out of your way for a sidequest you don't have to do, then just go with the main story, and at some point in Act 1. (I think it's close to after getting to the lifeguard tower), you'll get a shock mod. All you need is some wire, batteries, and duct tape I believe and just make that and you'll get the achievement.
  
  This is one you'll probably get early on in the game!

  So very early in the game. Doesn't require a random sidequest.

  Indeed, the shock mod is rewarded upon completing "Black Hawk Down" for Sinamoi in Chapter 3. That's how I got this achievement.

  Awesome! added you in the solution. Just now seeing this comment for some reason.

  The torch mod is available in chapter 2, though. Not that there's anything wrong with telling people when their second opportunity comes to unlock the achivement.

  The torch mod comes from the side mission counsel of despair

  ...which is given by James at the Lighthouse

  ...and is available earlier in the game than the shock mod.
