Far Cry 3

To fully distract enemies with rocks, one must throw it nearby them and allow them to investigate the location of where the rock landed. You must then allow them to look around and return to where they were before the distraction was created, and once they do, it'll count as a "full distract". It'd help if you marked your enemies before attempting to distract them first because you can analyse what they are doing, as well as know when they have completed their survey and started to return to their original patrol route. Repeat 24 more times across your vacation on Rook Island.

Good luck.
Please tell me why you negative voted because currently, this is the only guide that has explained what full distraction is, no offense (I will change the wording if you can't understand).

*EDIT* Thanks Rustybroom and Amatorskii (via comments); it seems to be that enemies can actually be distracted more than 3 times, so it is possible to grind this achievement on just one enemy.

*EDIT #2* It'd be nice if someone could confirm this statement, but it is very possible for a "full distract" to count when the distracted target is speaking after the rock was thrown (Pay homage to I SoLuS I for the info).

You can farm this achievement in the trial named hide and seek, it's simple as soon as you spawn, throw a rock past both enemies, when they investigate the sound it will count towards your achievement simply fail the trial, rinse&repeat until it pops
(tested and confirmed by me)
This is also a great way to get the achievement if you've liberated all of the outposts and finished the story, at that point enemies become scarce, I hope this helps happy gaming! :)

Hi Guys

Here is my Solution for this Achievement.

A counted Distract in Far Cry 3 is, when you throw a Rock near a Enemy and this Enemy investigate the point where land the Rock. After the investigate he must go back to his Startposition.

This is ONE Distract. Repeat this 25 Times and the Achievement is yours.

Regards

Hey guys,
You can actually grind this out during the 'Doppelganger'-mission once you get to the second island. After dropping into the cave and finding an enemy facing the docks, you should be in a hallway. To get this achievement easily, throw a rock towards the back of that hallway and the guy should go and check it out. Use the camera to make sure you can see the enemy and once he is back at his usual place, throw another one. He will say things like 'this is starting to piss me off' but he will never check out another area except the place where the rock landed. To give you a visual of the location, I included an image with all courtesy to IGN.



I hope this will help and good luck!

If you are still missing this achievement by the end of the game there are many enemies that will respawn at several places. The best place to do it i think it's The Compound (X: 364.5,Y:377.5) because there are groups of enemies that you can distract with one stone and while you are waiting for them to investigate you can move to another group in the area. You can go back and forth distracting groups until the achievement pops ! Check the video for more details. Good Luck !

Alright, so the best way I did this is simple but it will take loads of patience, so if you just want to sit back and relax, then go for this achievement. Travel to an outpost that you haven't liberated yet and look for a single enemy through your camera. Try to find one that is by himself and that isn't moving; it'll make your job much easier. After marking said enemy, proceed to cover near his location, but make sure you have a gap by him that you're able to throw the stone through. Since the guard is marked, you'll be able to see his every move. What you need to do is throw the stone at either a wall, the ground, a house, etc. But make sure that the location is nearby him so you won't have to wait even longer for him to walk over to the noise. After you throw the stone, hide if you're in plain view and if not, then wait for the guard to walk to where the noise was AS WELL AS back to his position he was at before. You must wait for him to complete this full cycle before throwing another stone. After he has returned to his position, throw the stone, wait, and repeat. If you haven't fully distracted any guards then this may take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to do, depending on where you throw the stone. I had already done it around 10 times previously, and it only took me about 15 minutes to complete the remaining throws. This is one of the easier achievements to get but takes some patience in order to do so. And be sure to keep a tally of how many times you've thrown the stone so that you don't get lost halfway through. Good luck and be careful not to be discovered!

To throw a rock press and Jason will throw a rock in the direction you're aiming.

Once a rock has been thrown near an enemy they will walk off to inspect what the noise was, after a few seconds of looking around they will return to their original location.

You will get a lot of these distractions though liberating outposts and playing the story but if like me you need to grind some there is a Trial at the coordinates X424.4 Y769.3 called 'Hide and Seek'. This trial spawns you behind two enemies, throw a rock with and slowly move behind the rock formation behind you. Watch them inspect your rock and once they have returned to their position aim near them again and throw another rock.

The trial gives you round a minute to do this and once the trial fails you can retry to continue grinding.

End game solution:
Go to the air base (2nd island). Southern part is full of trees for cover. Move alongside the southern wall and throw rocks. As there are lots of privateers, it wont take much time.
I won the achievement this way.

Just before you do the Medusa mission "3rd one I believe" there's a giant rock circle. Standing in it there is a guy who is usually sitting there cleaning his gun. Sneak up on the rocks behind him, tag him and then throw your rock 3 feet in front of him. I got him to walk the three feet 12 times and got the achievement (had been working on it earlier). So spam the heck out of it lol.
