An easy way to get this achievement was to acquire the gravity hammer on Guardian, stay in the shadows, and just smash players as they came around corners. The same worked on levels with Energy Swords, such as The Pit. Another way to get it was to use cloaking and try to sneak around an enemy or two. Also, a good strategy on Guardian was to hang out outside the main building with a Gravity Hammer, and smash people as they come around corners. If the hammer smash didn't kill them directly, there's a good chance that the splash effect from the hammer would throw them off the edge.
