Deadlink - Tips on how to unlock the Merciful Achievement!
In order to unlock the Merciful achievement, you must kill an enemy that is ignited, corroded, and recently has been shocked. It has a 3.8% unlock rate as of now, and can be a tough one to do without proper setup during a run.
In order to do all 3 elemental effects on an enemy, you are going to want to make sure to choose Implant doors after combat encounters. With some luck, you will find "Pack" Implants. The CBRN Pack grants you the chance to fire Corrosive homing projectiles, while the Shock Pack grants you the chance to fire homing projectiles that cause Shock on enemies. I am sure there is a Fire elemental one as well, but I have not seen it yet. These are your best bet, as Passive Abilities don't need to be triggered by actions, they are always in effect.
If you have to, get an Active Ability with the element(s) you are missing. These will make it more difficult, as you must perform the action you have them linked to in order to trigger the elemental effect, but it is still doable if you pay attention to what you linked it to. I found the Electro-Combustor Inducer worked well, since I already had Shock and Corrosion passives. It always ignited marked enemies, so as long as I used my decoy, any marked enemies would ignite.
After getting all 3 elements (Corrosion, Fire and Shock), find an enemy that can take some damage, like a Heavy. They have to be able to survive more than a few shots since the Pack Implants aren't guaranteed to give them an elemental debuff. Just shoot the enemy until all three elemental debuffs have triggered on the same enemy, or trigger your Active Implants by doing what they are linked to and hitting the enemy with it, and when they die with all three debuffs, the Achievement will unlock! Just remember that this is basically up to RNG as well as your setup, so keep trying if you don't get it the first time you attempt it!
