    This can't be unlocked on your first playthrough as it requires you to be playing as 9S. Whilst playing as 9S your heavy attack (Y, Triangle or \ by default) is replaced with a hacking minigame. Hold the button to fill up a meter and the hack will be initiated. The aim is then to shoot the black sphere.

    If you hack friendly machines then you need to select the destroy option for it to count towards the achievement. This is best achieved against the standard smaller machines as they only require one hit to charge the meter and have no additional defences during the miningame.

    If you happen to miss it you can also purchase the achievement from the Strange Resistance Woman in the Resistance Camp for 50,000G after obtaining Ending C or D.
