    I don't know if this is dependant on you having finished the game or not... (EDIT: It appears that the Hellstorm Flare will automatically be selectable from your Gadget menu after you have shut down all 3 of the Defense Turrets on the map)...

    If you go to any Supply Point, open up the Loadout menu, and then go into the Gadget Menu, you should just be able to select the Hellstorm Flare from the bottom row, second from the left. After exiting the menu, you can activate the flare by hitting the cn_RB button on your controller.

    The game seems a little picky about where you can deploy the flare as i kept getting the message 'Cannot perform action' every time i tried to deploy it right next to the Supply Point. Just keep moving about and spamming the flare, at some point it will activate for you. What worked for me was to go somewhere on ground level, near water/the shore and try deploying it there.

    x GrndZero xFor anyone not getting the achievement to pop. Go into your normal game, throw the grenade. Once combat is over, go back to main menu, start a new game with your normal agent on a new world and skip all the intros, the achievement will then probably pop, that is what happened with me.

    Geezr PleazrI just wanted to add what happened to me. Throughout the game I noticed that a couple achievements weren't progressing for me specifically Ele-mentalist, Nuke it from Orbit, out of the park, and second hand shrapnel.
    I tried starting a new world (specifically in slot 5) but none of those achievements would progress. I then decided to go for the corporate raider achievement feeding the game on legendary. I then saw this comment decided to try again, picked slot three, and for some reason after skipping the opening scenes all four of those achievements popped. Not sure what any of that means but that's what happened to me.
