    The first chance you get at going for this achievement is in the fourth chapter, it's not very hard and I'd suggest just getting it out of the way while you're here, Gravity Panels are the small blue panels on the floor, they stand out because they appear to be glowing and have a transparent link to the ceiling, there's a few methods to this, you can use Stasis on an enemy and then try and push them into the panel, you can try and melee the Necromorphs into the panels as they walk past them toward you or you can hope that an enemy will just outright walk into one itself, if it does walk into one itself it will count toward this achievement, it's important to note though that the first enemy that does this in the cut scene doesn't count toward it.

    Once you kill your fifth enemy by forcing them into a Gravity Panel the achievement will pop!

    I've linked in a video which shows you how to get the achievement, sometimes it's easier to see how something is done then following text based instructions!

    Grillsen1I think it's also worth mentioning that you get another chance for this achievement on chapter 9. That's where it finally popped for me.

    Best way to do this is with stasis. The first necromorph to approach you in this section (think it's a lurker) walks right into the gravity panel, demonstrating what you need to do for the achievement. Stay where you are and a regular necromorph will come round the corner, let it walk past the side of the panel and stasis it before walking into it to push it into the panel. Walk into the next little room, being careful not to walk into any of the panels yourself (did this several times), and wait for two more lurkers to come round the corner. They should be on the floor so let them get a bit closer then stasis them both before they get a chance to jump onto a wall. Push them both into a panel for your 2nd and 3rd kills. Now go back to the corridor where the first necromorph was and another should be walking towards you, use the same tactic. Go round the corner where the two lurkers came from, there should be one last lurker on the wall, so let it follow you into the previous room and finish it off in the usual fashion. Achievement should pop at this point. I'm fairly sure that the gravity panel has to kill the enemy, so you can't push a corpse into it. If you mess up at any point just run into a panel and you'll restart at the checkpoint before the first necromorph appears.

    Note: There's a stasis refill round the corner where the two lurkers appeared from, at the end of the corridor. However, if you're low on health or would just rather refill your stasis the easy way, pause and enter cn_Xcn_Ycn_Ycn_Xcn_Y.

    This is a pretty straight forward achievement without a lot of frills or description needed. In chapter 4, about half way through the chapter, you will be told that some of the gravity panels are malfunctioning. These panels are on the floor and are a bluish color with an obvious distortion above them. These are key to the achievement.
    What you want to do is to force an enemy to touch the distortion above the panel, it will instantly kill the enemy, and should count as one of your kills. You can do this by either meleeing the enemy into the panel, using stasis and then walking into the enemy until he is "pushed" into the distortion, or by manipulating an enemy's movements based on where you move, and having them walk into the damaged panel on their own.
    Below is a video that I made of when it unlocked for me. As you can see from the final kill, sometimes you don't even have to touch the enemy for the kill to count.
    Hope this helps, and good luck!
