    Hi Guys

    Here is my Solution for this Achievement. I show you the Singleplayer way (I do this in Co-op but my Partner do nothing!)

    With a Partner is quite easier but solo it is doable.

    There are 3 dispenser Boxes on the Wall, you need all 3 for the Achievement.

    The Steps are:

    1. Use Kinesis to open / Release a dispenser Box
    2. Stasis the Reactor
    3. Grab the Mine / Spheric
    4. Throw this into one of the 3 Reactor Holes
    5. On the Ground now 3 yellow cooling Objects
    6. Destroy by shooting all of this 3
    7. Repeat Step 1-6 2 Times


    My Video below has in the right lower Corner a Timecode for better Visibility the 90sec Timer and Progress with the 3 dispenser Box / Reactor.

    Regards

    This achievement may take a bit of practise its all down to learning the method and remember stick it on casual mode to make it a walk in the park.

    I did this in coop so lets consider this a guide for all the coop players out there.

    All you need to do is grab the orbs with your kenesis and throw them into the reactor while it is being hit with stasis, then shoot the yellow vents on the floor below you method as follows.

    There are 4 massive Cysts in the room that fire homing bombs. You can get them out of the way before the timer starts. They won't die right away, though. As long as you pour a generous amount of ammo into each one before you hit the ON button, they will all die at this point.

    1. Have one person as the thrower and the other as the stasis guy ( I was the stasis guy)
    2. Try to stasis the reactor at a good time so your friend can throw the object into the core (it has 3 levels to it so you have plenty of choice on where to throw)
    3. You need to do this three times and shoot the yellow vents below that stick out. There is always three vents I believe.
    4. When you shoot the final 3 vents the achievement will unlock!

    I have a video below showing this all being done just takes a bit of practise and speed. Good luck guys!

    SilentRich69Added your comment to my solution but I don't recall them being a problem but whatever some players might have worse luck than us against them.

    Nelson SoldierIf you use the Devil Horns. You only have to shoot each vent once. Took me about 20 seconds to do this using that.

    Dragonborn GearThe Devil Horns definitely made it easy. I was surprised to see the achievement pop after only having to shoot each vent twice. (I was on pure survival difficulty.)

    Immediately after finishing your fight with the heretic leader you will enter an elevator. As you exit you will find yourself in the reactor room. Carver will then direct you to your left along the cat walk where you will find what looks like a small generator and a computer monitor. You can't miss it as it is part of the story.

    The timer for the achievement will begin as soon as you activate it. There are dispensers along the walls that will give you power cores. The best position to take is to the immediate left of a core dispenser as you should have a good view of all three vents as they appear and will not have to move much in order to get a clear shot. To save time you should kinesis the dispenser open and turn around and stasis the reactor to slow it down. By this time when you turn around the core will be available. Grab it with kinesis and fire it into the reactor. It will then proceed to overload and the reactor's yellow vents will open up to release the built up energy. It is during this phase that you must shoot all three vents that appear below you.

    I personally found it best to use the equalizer and an upgraded pulse rifle on the vents. A grenade launcher secondary weapon function should also make short work of the vents. If you are quick enough you will only have to repeat this process three times. The achievement will pop immediately upon the reactor going critical. You can reload the last checkpoint and it will be right as you exit the elevator. You should be able to get the achievement within two or three attempts. Good luck!
