    This achievement is unmissable and will be obtained at the end of Mission 3: Blood and Rust, after you've reconnected with your Titan after disabling the sludge flow.

    Kane is a Titan pilot who uses the Scorch Titan, this means he does have a shield but it will not reflect back at you. Watch out for his fire, obviously, the Scorch Titan releases flammable gas making his area of effect wider. Fortunately, his main weapon is one-shot before it needs to reload, so you have time to back off.

    I recommend using the Tone Titan as you'll be able to make significant use of the lock-on feature due to the terrain. He'll start a fair distance away from you, and drop in another enemy Titan nearby. Take that out first to help build up your Titan core, and then put up your particle wall. Try and keep Kane inside the raised, circular structure, as it has a lot of barriers around the side that are good for cover. Pepper him with shots and duck behind one of the barriers to avoid his attacks and recover your shields. When your salvo is ready, get out of cover, put up your particle wall, and lock on, releasing your rocket salvo and just annihilate him with rockets.

    As a boss titan he'll still need a lot more damage to take out, but I was able to destroy him using two salvos on Master difficulty, along with my rockets and cannon fire. If you get damaged, the previous enemy Titan has a battery and there's at least one back near where Kane started, so you should be able to heal up some. The chapter ends after this so it doesn't matter if you end the battle with low health, but I don't recommend getting in to try and get some melee hits, stay far back and use your weapons.

    This how I defeated Kane on Master using the Brute loadout that is the newest one you get at this stage of the campaign.

    Firstly defeat the other Titan as quickly as you can by setting up your shield and firing into it as much as possible. This gets him out of the way so you can take on Kane. This video starts just as I have done this. The trick is to avoid getting hit. It sounds obvious but a few direct hits will take your health right down. Note where the green energy cells are for when you need them. As soon as your Salvo Core is ready pick your moment and make sure you get a direct hit. Don't save it too long as you should get your Core back again before the fight is over. Dodge around the walls to avoid being hit. Use your Sonar so you can see which way Kane is going. Use your Primary and Secondary weapon while you are protected by your shield and avoid Kane for the rest of the time. When your Core is ready again pick your moment and try to get a direct hit. At this point if you haven't defeated Kane you are not far off.
