How to unlock the Counterattack achievement in BioShock 2 - Definitive Guide

Very simple achievement. By far the easiest way to do this I found was to use one of the cannon turrets. Simply wait for it to fire at you, grab the shell with telekinesis power and throw it right back at it.

Cannon turrets aren't that common, but you'll come across a fair few along the way while completing the single player. Just stick with it and you'll find one eventually.

No idea what the negative feedback is for...

Guess some people can't appreciate people trying to help others...

Any of the Lead Head Splicers that throw grenades work, too. I think there was just after getting the Telekinesis plasmid.

Listing levels and locations for some of the turrets would make this solution better.

I've personally not tried, but I can't see why not. By the way it's worded it sounds like it should be able to work in multiplayer.

Apparently, your answer is right there. People vote negatively because not only do they want a solution, they want you to do every bit of leg-work as well.

I also found with a Houdini Splicer, you can "grab" & throw the balls of fire they throw at you. Hope this helps if you can't find many turrets later in the game.
When I say "grab" I mean use telekenesis to stop it from hitting you, then aiming it back at the Houdini Splicer.

Use telekinesis to send a missile or grenade at the person or turret that shot it at you.
Be quick and shoot it back fast, because it may explode in your face.
Keep in mind you have to KILL them with it.

To get this achievement, you need to use telekinesis on one of these. A cannon turret, a big daddy, and a sometimes a splicer and kill it. A cannon turret is the easiest since it pauses after shooting. Just stand from a distance, and when it shoots use telekinesis on the cannon shot and throw it right back. This causes it to explode. For a big daddy, it will sometimes throw a proximity mine at you. When that happens, use telekinesis and throw the mine back. Only works if it has really low health to be able to kill it. For a splicer, sometimes they'll throw a grenade at you. Use telekinesis on the grenade and throw it back. It should kill the splicer. I recommend the cannon turret.

Update: I forgot to add that you can get this by killing a big sister when she uses telekinesis to lift objects and throw them at you. In addition, the Houdini and lead head splicers throw grenades or fireballs, which can be thrown back with telekinesis.

Using telekinesis grab a thrown projectile and throw it back at the enemy. You can either do this against a Splicer or any other enemy which throw projectiles such as grenades or rockets.

One of the easier ways to earn this achievement is to kill a Rumbler with it's own rockets. You can stand in front of them and keep using telekinesis over-and-over until you kill the Big Daddy. Splicers randomly throw grenades, but the Rumbler will always fire rockets at you if you are at a distance.

This can also be done with Thuggish Splicers and Rocket Turrets.

To unlock this achievement you will need to kill an enemy with it's own projectile. This can be done on Big Daddies with the shoulder mounted rocket launcher, though this will take a lot of shots, or can be done on an RPG turret which will kill it in one. Stand in front of your chosen enemy and let them fire at you, use your Telekinesis to grab the projectile and fire it back at them. Do this until the enemy dies, making sure the final hit was done with the projectile you sent back at them.

There is an RPG turret during the Pauper's Drop mission in a shop in the Market area that i used to get this achievement on. It will be destroyed from 1 projectile.

MISSABLE

Whenever an enemy thows an object at you, which is usually a grenade, use Telekinesis to throw it back at them. An easy enemy to do this against is Leadhead Splicers because after a few gunshots, they will hurl a bomb at you. Grab it with telekinesis and throw it back, thus killing him instantly and the trophy will pop shortly afterwards.
