    This is a highly missable achievement as certain enemy spawns do not repeat later on (Deviant Kantus especially) and if missed can force you to have to do another playthrough of Jacked mode so use the following as a reference to hijack the enemies as and when you encounter a new enemy.

    You have to invest skill points for Jack all into the bottom left skill tree from the very beginning to be able to unlock the Hijack skill ASAP when you reach level 4 (my personal recommendation is to choose the Toxic capsule over Sonic capsule lvl 2 early on). You should have the Hijack skill unlocked when you are about to play Act 2 Chapter 4 (main mission).

    Below is the likely order in which you will hijack all 15 non-boss enemy types as you progress through the campaign..

    Act 2 Chapter 4 - Wretch, Hammerburst Drone, Ticker, Kantus
    Act 2 Chapter 5 - Theron Guard, Sniper Drone
    Act 2 Chapter 6 - Disciple
    Act 2 Chapter 7 - Boomer, Deviant Kantus
    Act 2 Chapter 8 (side missions/Corpser boss fight) - Grenadier
    Act 3 Chapter 1 - Deviant Disciple
    Act 3 Chapter 2 (side missions) or Act 3 Chapter 6 (side missions) - Deviant Wretch, Deviant Hammerburst Drone
    Act 3 Chapter 3 - Zealot, Deviant Sniper Drone

    If you have diligently hijacked all enemies you should definitely have the achievement unlocked by the time you reach the Act 3 Chapter 6 main mission if not earlier. Good luck !!!

    Bl4nkXCan confirm on the side missions after Act 3 : Chapter 3, I found a zealot. A deviant disciple, deviant sniper and a devant hammer burst drone. If you have missed any of these then this is the best place to grab them. I thunk it was a sabotage side mission.

    Although a deviant kantus only appears only appears on stated places.

    Bl4nkXIt turns out for me, I had missed the deviant hammer burst drone.

    I'm on my third play through on Insane mode. So I was bound to swear this up eventually.

    SSgtRubberDuckyAct 3 chapter 1 has another deviant Kantus in case you missed it before.

    HIjack is the last ability you unlock in the bottom left Jack Skill tree. Remember that it is a 2 AP skill, and it has an 8 turn cooldown. Using support's surge ability will reset hijack's cooldown and allow you to hijack a different enemy right after the first one expires. I've listed the act and chapter number of the first appearances of the deviant enemies.

    **You will miss the deviant wretches first appearance as you will not have jack yet. Im not sure if it is random, but the next time I encountered Deviant Wretches was on Act 3 Chapter 6 in the Wasteland Control Constant Warlord side mission.

    You need to hijack the following enemies:

    Wretch
    Ticker
    Sniper
    Grenadier
    Drone (Hammerburst)
    Boomer
    Disciple
    Kantus
    Theron Guard
    Zealot - A3 C3

    as well as the Deviant Variations

    Deviant Wretch - A1 C2 -> A3 C6
    Deviant Drone (Hammerburst) - A1 C4
    Deviant Sniper - A2 C2
    Deviant Kantus - A2 C7
    Deviant Disciple - A3 C1

    HungryNic42Can confirm hijacking them also counts for a kill.

    Just to add a minor addition to the previous solutions, this IS cumulative.

    I missed the Deviant Kantus on Act 2 Chapter 7 and thought I'd get another shot at it. Unfortunately, I didn't seem to get another one, even in Veteran missions, so I had to start a whole new playthrough.

    However, once I'd hijacked the Kantus, the achievement popped, even though I'd not reached ones such as the Deviant Disciple yet on that playthrough.
