45. Under a Buck (Bronze) — Shoot the deer head trophy in the Admiral’s Quarters.

Location: Chapter 4: “History’s Ember” in the Admirals Quarters.

Unmissable since you go to the quarters in the main story, as shown here…

46. Space Ace (Bronze) — Shoot at least 70 targets during the ride to Tau Volantis.

Location: At the very end of Chapter 7: “Mayhem” you will have to navigate a spaceship.

There are 3 types of targets you can shoot. In the first part you can shoot mines. The big mine swarm is the most important thing for this trophy. There are so many mines at once that it is almost impossible to shoot all of them. Just keep hitting R1 on your PS3 controller very quickly and take out as many as you can. In the next part you have to shoot some trash that is flying through the air. Try to stay on course so that you can spot all the targets easily. In the last part you just need to shoot some mountains.
In solo you will have to destroy almost every target. There are just a little over 70, so it might take several tries.

Tip: In co-op it is a bit easier if you join a game as Carver, since he’s given flight controls to pilot and shoot.

Note: Also consider making a backup of your save game after starting the spaceship flight. Otherwise you would need to replay the entire chapter if you fail.

47. Hungry (Bronze) — Reach the pump room of the Waystation without alerting any Feeders.

Location: In Chapter 9: “Onward” in the Waystation.

Don’t aim at them or else you’ll shine your flashlight on them. You can throw objects with kinesis to distract them if you need to.

48. Drill Sergeant (Bronze) — Complete the Drill Room without taking any damage.

Location: During Chapter 10: “Now We Know” you’ll have to destroy a gigantic drill in some sort of arena.

Three waves of enemies will spawn during the fight. Neither the enemies, nor the drill are allowed to hit you.
Before you attempt this trophy you need some really good weapons. The Slam Chop weapon is very effective for this fight. Always shoot the legs of your enemies and they will die after 1-2 hits. Your secondary weapon does not matter that much, but it should shoot bullets in quick succession which makes it very effective against the drill core.

Wave 1: Enemies die in 1 shot, but some of them start running. Use Stasis and run in big circle around the drill. The drill should kill some of the enemies for you.
Wave 2: Enemies die in 2 shots, but are pretty slow. Keep running in big circles, use Stasis against enemies if needed.
Wave 3: Get behind the drill. It won’t kill you, but all enemies that get close will die instantly from the drill damage and cannot attack you. Use stasis on the drill and take out its core from behind.

Note: You can make use of the “Reload Checkpoint” feature if you need to!

49. Weedkiller (Silver) — Kill 5 Cysts in the Biology Building with a single poison gas cloud.

Location: In Chapter 14, when you reach the Biology sector.

In the Biology sector you have to use kinesis on the cysts to get past them without killing them. The ones on the floor will shoot an explosive pod that will kill themselves if you do not use kinesis to toss the pod away. Then, take the elevator to activate the pump, to allow the gas to vent through the hallway. The achievement will unlock soon after.

50. Aliens (Bronze) — Collect all Alien Artifacts.

51. Close Encounter (Bronze) — Kill 10 alien Necromorphs.
