    For this achievement you must have a cyberware implant that slows down time equipped so that you can kill an enemy while time is slowed.

    Method 1:
    The cheapest cyberware implant that slows down time is a nervous system implant called “Kerenzikov” which costs $5000 at a Ripperdoc (scissors icon on the map).

    * Kerenzikov allows you to aim and shoot while dodging. Slows time by 50 percent for 1.5 sec. when blocking, aiming or attacking during a slide or dodge. Cooldown 5 sec.
    I used the Ripperdoc in Japantown to purchase this implant.

    Method:
    Weaken enemies by shooting them until their health is low. While sprinting press cn_B to slide then quickly hold cn_LT to aim and slow down time for a short time. You must kill the enemy in this short time window. Shotguns, revolvers and pistols work best. Kill 50 enemies like this and the achievement will unlock.

    This is a video of how it is done:
    Method 2:
    You can purchase the “Dynalar Sandevistan MK. 1” operating system which costs $7500 from the western most Ripperdoc in Northside, Watson. To equip this item, you need 6 Reflexes.

    * Dynalar Sandevistan MK. 1 slows time by 50% for 8 sec. (Cooldown 30 sec.). Increases any damage dealt by 5 percent when Sandevistan is active. Activated by holding cn_LB cn_RB.
    Once you have it equipped, find a group of enemies (story missions, side missions, around the open world or police), activate it to slow down time and kill enemies while time is slowed.
    Some other nervous system implants that slow down time can be seen in the image below:

    Situla RexOkay, after the newest patch(2.1), it worked. It worked so good, it also automatically decided to pop "Frequent Flyer", and "The Fool" right from the bat. And those requirements weren't even met!

    Finally, free from the chains that bind.

    SVK patoUPDATE 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077

    Hi guys, I tried multiple ways to get this achievement and I finally did it!!!

    What you need to do:
    - Have cyberware implant that slows down time (I have OS: Zetatech Sandevistal)
    - Travel in front of The Night City jail, which is located in Arroyo (part of the Santo Domingo district)
    - Go around jail with any weapon you want and kill enemies inside during slowed time

    OK, I got this without really trying. I'm playing with the 2.0 update.

    Open the cool perks and but both tier of the 'Focus' perk. Then buy 'Head to Head' and then the 'Deep Breath' perk - which slows time by 25% for pistols, revolvers, snipers etc when focus is active.

    Then just use any of the guns recommend to get kills, should unlock fairly quickly

    MaskedMan13Just popped this the same way. Spec'd myself into pistols and headshot damage (under Cool tree). Got the perk to slow time when ADS with pistols, do not have any of the Cyberware that slows times, and popped it last night.
