How to unlock the Shot-putter achievement in Crackdown - Definitive Guide

The sneaky and lame way to do this is to throw a body into the water off the side of a building:

But if you want to do it legit, climb your way on top the Wang tower and there are plenty of objects to toss off the top of it. Make sure to jump as high as you can and throw it at the peak of your jump, and the cheevo should pop quickly.

This won't unlock for me, does anybody know if gangs have to be active to get this, because I've tried this many times and it wont unlock.

You're not up high enough most likely. Like I said in solution, get on top of Wang tower, and toss a plant or etc... laying around up there, from the top of the top with the red roof. Get as high as you can. Jump with max abilities, and toss it upwards so it falls onto the street below.

OK, I figured it out. Make sure you hit RB to throw, not B.

Knock em down and pick up the body as if it were an object.

Good guide, make sure to use RB to throw and not B to drop!

Just adding porschephiliac's solution. Make sure you are actually "throwing" an object and not simply "dropping" an object. Depending on your control settings, you should be pressing RB and not B.

Happy Hunting :)

It should be RB. Check your settings and it should indicate which button is "throw"

Near the top of the Agency Tower, there are wall light fixtures, one on every mini-tower. Shoot one with your gun a few times and it will fall. Just pick it up and throw it off. If it goes into the water, you're good.
