But apart from that, you just shoot the glass and kill the driver.

1. Strip the shields. It is impossible to break the glass while the shields are still up.
2. Shoot the cockpit until the glass breaks. You might want to turn off your squadmates' powers and tell them to attack other targets while you're doing this.
3. Once the glass is broken, kill the pilot inside. Apparently using Pull on the pilot while he's exposed will also yank him out immediately.
Some people say that if you're using a Widow/Black Widow/Javelin you can shoot the pilot right through the glass (again, once the shields are down) and get the achievement that way, although I've never tested it myself.

But basically, that's it. Strip the shields and then shoot only the cockpit and the dude inside (sniper rifles work best, playing infiltrator is the easiest way to get this achievement).

After you drop the shields just aim at the glass only. When it shatters, kill the pilot. Then get in. I had to do this with the Predator when I finally tried to get the achievement because my rifles always seemed to kill the Atlas, even on Insanity.
You do not get the achievement for taking an Atlas that is just parked somewhere (as the one before the final fight in Grissom is).

Now that they have patched the Atlas so it doesn't take double damage from piercing weapons, it might actually be easier to do this.

Those changes are for multiplayer not singleplayer, The Paladin still has 4 bullets in the clip x).

The patch applies to both single player and multiplayer.

It is unmistakenly unmissable, but as others have pointed out, you need to hijack a piloted Atlas by first killing the pilot and then getting into the Atlas.Neofelis Nebulosa wrote...

No you don't.
I had gotten the achievement the moment I got into that empty Atlas on that very mission.
Unless of course some patch changed that, but I don't recall seeing that in patchnotes.

As for killing the pilot being a myth. Wroooong dude. Funny thing is on that Cerberus Station mission in the hangar, I had killed one such pilot and climbed into the Atlas. Then when other Atlas mechs came in, I took out one Atas by shooting the canopy with my own Atlas gun, it shattered the canopy and killed the pilot. Then I blocked the third Atlas by placing my own so it couldn't move, got out and shot it with my Shepard on foot, killed the pilot again. After that match, I had three Atlas mechs standing there, without pilots which I could commandeer, basically one for each of my squadmates.
You CAN do it.

FWIW, doing this didn't get me the achievement (this was on my first runthrough, so like the first or second day after release). It was about the only achievement I hadn't gotten after my first runthrough.
The important thing to remember is that powers don't damage the glass, and the glass' health is almost as high as the Atlas' armor. This means if you do 1-2 biotic combos or let your teammates shoot at the Atlas for a few seconds, it becomes impossible to break the glass before you kill the Atlas outright.

I stand corrected on killing the pilot (you do not have to kill him as you point out). I still do not have the hijacking achievement and I have boarded a few empty Atlas mechs: the one on Grissom Academy at least twice, and a couple of times on Cerberus Headquarters (Chronos Station). I even boarded the empty Grissom Academy mech soon after the game released. Maybe you have to board while the Combat Engineer is still standing there?

Naw, I killed the Engineer and then got into it, which net me the achievement. If you haven't gotten it even when boarding other Atlas mechs, then I'd say your game is a bit bugged,

Oh, come on: if it were that easy to get the achievement, don't you think there'd be less people posting topics saying "how do you get this achievement?" Almost everybody jumps into that empty Atlas on their first playthrough!
As for a patch changing it recently, I jumped into that Atlas on my first playthrough, within days of the game's release, and didn't get the achievement. I got it on that same playthrough, with an Adept wielding a pistol, during the fight on the Citadel.

Playing on PC, just in case there are differences between systems.

I boarded that free atlas in three play-throughs and didn't get an achievement until I actually did it the conventional way.

I have no idea how you could have gotten the Hijack achievement for the Atlas at Grissom Academy.

Well, I got it that way. Maybe it was my game that was positively bugged and accepted that free Atlas for the achievement for some weird reason, but I am absolutely certain that's how I got the achievement.

What I kept running into was that I would be using something like Black Widow or even Mantis under ARush or Cloak and blowing them all up before I could get in. That's why I took the Predator just to get that achievement... just to make sure I didn't accidentally damage the Atlas too much by shooting at it (with a miss, or more importantly over-penetration with the big rifles).

I apologize for the quote pyramid, but I didn't get the achievement for the Grissom Academy hijacking. I play on xbox, if that's important. I finally got the achievement on my second playthrough when defending Javik's life pod.
