For the Nuke you can gather 50 SCV and kill them.
Yuuuup. In defiance of the description, looks the achievement isn’t actually flagged for zerg units, or even enemy units, but simply any 50 units.
Lol. Yeah, it worked for me xD
VERY strange. But I’ll try.
What about final toss defense without using top bar? Did they fix it?
Not yet. But as long as you don’t use Reconstruction Beam, it will work.
Yes, I nuked 50 units of my own, it worked. This makes it the most ridiculous and senseless achivement in entire SC2.
As for Nova’s reapers - I tried your way several times, 150 frags max. I done all specialist achivements long ago but this one is obviously FAR beyond their difficulty. Very few players in the world are able to get it. I am still 100% sure this is Bliz’ mistake and count must be severely reduced.
Seeing that the achievement text says Zerg, it’s likely not intended that killing other units is counting.
It’s honestly not that bad. Some of the original campaign achievements (some of the Mastery ones; some missions on Brutal) are definitely more difficult. I have this 200 spider mine kills Nova 10th anniversary achievement, and I’m really not good at this game - i.e. I don’t ever play Versus and I struggle with co-op on Brutal. So if I can do it, it’s just not that bad.
It is a bit tricky, though.
-
I did it on Hard.
-
Destroy one of Horner’s Refineries and build your own. Build a Command Center in his base, too - now you have an extra geyser.
-
Only make Reapers.
-
Do the bonus objectives, but use mines there, too. Lay down spider mines there and lure the enemy Zerg at the bonus objective areas into the spider mines.
-
Save scum. Between EVERY engagement. As in, if spider mines didn’t take out pretty much everything all on their own, reload and re-lay the mines.
I barely managed it, but I did it. And others have done it while getting significantly more spider mine kills than me.
From a Video I got the tactic to clump up spider mines. Before I used to spread them across the walking path. Once I started using lumps of 10+ mines I got the 200 achievement.

From the official post:
“The achievement, “Disintegration Doctrine”, for the “Into the Void” mission will no longer sometimes erroneously not be awarded.”
STILL does not!
Edit. It took some attempts but somehow I finaly got it. This time I had a situation when Narud just spawned a new giant and then died. May be this triggered something. Other usual attempts gave nothing.
Since 5.0.3 I’ve been able to get it every time I tested it. So it seems to be working properly now.
One thing to keep in mind is that Raven Auto Turrets count as structures, so any that are missed before defeating Narud will fail the achievement.
Any that are spawned in the upper left and upper right bases are quite difficult to see because they are darkly colored and under the dark void clouds.
Thx for the tip, I took it with your help. Abusing bonus is the key, gives about 50 kills. I think it’s the 1st achivement where we have to abuse TWO things (Horner’s base also) to get it. Totaly senseless.
