Kill 10 enemies by throwing an object at them

How to unlock the Catch This! achievement in Crysis - Definitive Guide

This isn't too hard, but it may be kind of glitchy. I killed well over ten people with thrown objects before this unlocked for me, so it may only count with specific objects, or kills you get purely by throwing objects without shooting the enemy at all.

Personally, I found the fastest way to get this was by throwing the explosive red barrels you find at enemies, as you can usually take out several of them with one explosion and every kill counts as one with a thrown object.

If you're throwing every object you find at every enemy you find, you'll easily get this in Act I. If you're using the red barrels like I recommended, it will probably be Act II or III before this finally unlocks.

I think they messed up the cheevo description on the choke hold cheevo and the catch this cheevo. I think you have to kill 20 enemies by throwing an object at them and 10 enemies with grab.

I don't necessarily think that's the case, since I grabbed well over twenty enemies before that one unlocked as well. I think it's just an inconsistency with what the game counts as a choke or throw kill. Some specific metrics aren't being met for those for whatever reason.

I think you're right. I just got this achievement, I didn't count how many it was but it felt like 15 or so.

You need to be careful if throwing the explosive barrels cause if the enemy open fire you could end up a splatter fart!!!!!

NB: You have to use X to throw the objects - objects thrown with RB will not count. Could be why people are finding it glitchy.

Use the blue barrel found right before the first guy and carry that throughout act 1, and got it after killing the first 12 guys with that barrel.

This is a easy achievement that can be obtain early in the game.

You need to throw objects on enemies so they die 10 times.
When i did this, I had to throw a object twice on a normal enemy, when i played on hard.

And some of the kills with objects doesn't count (cause they die of the fall?) so you maybe have to kill 11-15 enemies before you get this achievement.
Also you can use whatever object you wish, the only thing is that they have to die by the object.

I did this on the second act, right from the start. The first empty building you inspect has a nice sturdy steel suitcase that's easy to find again after you tossed it into the dim jungle. Easiest difficulty so I just ran up the road, smashing people with my trusty suitcase. You might want to gun down the first jeep-full of people but after that all the patrols in the jungle are easy pickings. And as a bonus, there's no places really for them to fall in the jungle, I got it after 10 kills.

This and the other numbered Achievements (30 binocular tags, 20 choke kills) are cumulative.

There's a checkpoint right before you're told to use your binoculars for the first time. You can easily kill about 4-5 people (barrels are plentiful here and provide decent cover) with throws.

I did have trouble unlocking this though since the guide here isn't specifically clear.

-Throws while in Armor and Cloak don't count.
-Throws made with RT don't count.
-Have to hold X to do the Strength throw. Don't tap. You'll know if you were successful if you lose -12 energy from your energy bar.
-Achievement is buggy. If it doesn't unlock start the game over again and try again. Did about 20 kills "correctly" and it didn't unlock. Finally unlocked after third kill after starting the campaign over.

Thanks to 41inuyasha over on xbox360achievements.com for this.

I got this as my last achievement since I don't naturally walk around with junk when people are shooting at me... warning So i went back to the second level (Recovery), and rushed all the way to where you have to cross a bridge with machinegun nests at the end of it (village with the gas station). Once inside the village, find one of the grey long boxes, usually found in rooms containing weapons, and start practice that throwing arm of yours. The box won't break and usually it'll only take one or two throws to kill. There's alot of people in the village, so you'll have enough targets to get the chieve no doubt. Just use your shield and hide behind cover, if you start running low on life. I ran straight into groups of four, and still came out alive. So you'll manage.

Best of luck!

You can pick up just about anything, (boxes, cans, barrels etc) Just pick up anything with  and press the button again to throw it. Do NOT press :rt: to throw, they will not count. Make sure you throw it with . Also make sure you are in Power Mode (default), so do not go into Armor or Cloak.

P.S. This one has said to be buggy, If you cant get it then start a new game on a different difficulty and try it. It should work. - Thanks Balc0ra for this info.

Pick up random objects in the world with square and throw them at weaken enemies. Recommended to do this trophy on easy and can be done on any chapter. You can soften the enemy up with bullets to lower there health so it takes less throws of the object to kill them.
