I’ve been dreading this achievement for a while but finally decided to go for it last night. Found a group on the DRG Discord and we managed to get it done on our second attempt.

My tips:
Along with these tips I recommend playing on Haz 2 or 3. Haz 1 has basically no bug spawns so I would avoid it.
Try get a mission that has one large open cave area like Refining or Extraction. I did mine on a Salvage mission.
Along with 4 Scouts, make sure to remove ALL AoE effects like cryo grenades, shield explosions etc. Slow grenades and the boomerang are great choices to keep bugs at a distance.
Make sure to take out any praetorians or oppressors before getting on the harvester.
This strat is pretty risky but worked great for us. On Salvage, you can begin the uplink section to get a bunch of bug spawns. Keep a dwarf on the harvester to keep track of the bugger, and have the other 3 making progress on the uplink while training the bugs. Once the uplink is at around 80-90%, make a mad dash to the harvester and try get the achievement done before the uplink ticks down to zero.
Hopefully this helps, good luck :)
