Dead Island 2

The absolute easiest way to unlock this is to use the curveball 'electric star'. Can be first obtained in mission Justifiable Zombicide. The electric star does not suffer from any gravity effects/drop so just flies in a straight line until it hits something.

Just look for a zombie in the distance that is static, aim your electric star directly at it and chievo popped.

If you have a friend in the game, you can get them to stand next to or as close to the zombie as they can without aggroing them and you'll be able to see the distance they are from you on the hud. Just back up until you see it over 35m or more.

I was able to get this pretty early into the game. Can do it right out side the first safe house, made a quick video on it

For this achievement I found the best place to get this achievement was in Venice Beach right outside of the Blue Crab restaurant. Here's the video to fully show the best way of going for this achievement.

The hardest part about this achievement is figuring out how far away from a zombie you are. I set a waypoint to a locker box and there was a zombie next to it when I got there so I was able to use the compass at the top of the screen to figure out I was over 35 meters away from the zombie.

Unfortunately you cant set random waypoints on the map so again I suggest setting a waypoint to something on the map and using that to judge the distance.

Use to aim the melee weapon above the zombie and to throw it.

Video guide further explains and shows this.

An easy location to complete this is along the road outside the back door of Emma Jaunt's Mansion. If you stop near the electrified puddle next to the police car and look down the hill you should see some zombies near a road sign. This is the 35 meters that we need. So, using a full inventory of melee weapons, you need to line up your cursor with the zombie and look up high to throw and hit the zombie. You can keep retrying and if you run out of weapons, head down hill and pick up the weapons you previously threw.

This achievement can be popped pretty early on in the game. Once you have a weapon in your hand and can move relatively far from a zombie, hold , lineup the reticle and aim up, press to throw it!

I popped the achievement right after leaving Emma Jaunt's mansion but you can do it before triggering the cut scenes prior.

In Bel-Air, at the intersection of Alpine Dr and Access Rd 782, you can usually find a zombie eating a corpse by the busted fire hydrant. If you go east up Alpine Dr towards the front of Emma Jaunt's house, there is a wrecked white car. The white car and the zombie are 35 meters apart.

Whilst this achievement can supposedly be unlocked using certain Curveballs there is also a Combat Challenge with the same stated requirement that you won't receive credit for if using Curveballs and as that challenge is necessary to unlock two other achievements (Bucket List and On Safari) tu may as well do it as intended and just do it once.

The difficulty for this achievement mostly comes from figuring out how far away something is as you can only place map markers on certain items. Whilst you can attempt this in any location I used one of the Lifeguards huts on Venice Beach (West of he Police Station, next to the palm trees when looking at the area map). If standing on the path and looking toward the hut there are three discoloured patches of sand that are 40m away from the hut (measured using the initial map marker for the Coast Guardian quest). Throw a Meat Bait at the hut wall to gather up a few zombies, stand on the dark sand, aim up start throwing weapons until the challenge/achievement pops. If you run out of weapons just gather them up and try again.

Here's an image showing the location in question:
