How to unlock the Good Job, Cap achievement in Far Cry New Dawn - Definitive Guide

To get this achievement you must kill 5 enemies by throwing a shield at them. To get the shield you need to kill an enemy that is carrying a shield, make sure you don't shoot directly at the shield as this may cause the shield to break. When you have killed the enemy the shield will drop. Head over to the shield and hold cn_RS to pick it up and from there you must aim at enemies and once again press cn_RS to throw it. Kill 5 enemies doing this and you will get Good Job, Cap for 10 gamerscore.

EDIT : This is an easy way to get the achievement.

If you're looking for good place to get this achievement there is a place almost in the direct center of the map where you do the arena fighting mission called the Bonecrusher Pit its full of brawlers with shields. If you just kill one and then run around throwing the shield killing them off one by one it worked well for me

Thanks to TaraRosenberg17 for the help

Or not. Most of the time, the achievement tracker won't increase regardless of how many dudes you kill with a shield. And sometimes, it magically works and you won't know why. It's terribly glitchy.

For me it worked fine, only glitchy achievement I had was with getting all the guns for hire people. Are you making sure you kill them cause some enemies you might need to shoot them with a pistol before throwing

"direct center of the map" omg. How is this point center of the map? it is far in the north of the map...if anybody looks for the point, it's over the Pantry outpost....

Yey! I had thought I might had to do outposts over and over again. I had 1 out of 5 shield kills when I saw this guide...I actually looked it up to see if there was a better way.

Now, this annoys me a bit. When I did the arena back in the missions (HARD-ASS) I died so many times to that master of the arena. If they could just have let me carry a shield and protect myself, maybe it would have been better.

Anyway point was that I would most certainly have remembered this place if they even had shields in that arena mission, which they didn't, and I am thankful for this suggestion!

I just have a bit of extra help to make this easier:
-You can shoot one guy, and he will drop a shield
-Shoot or even kill some of the other guys, to reduce their health, destroy their shields, or just thin them out a bit
-Double jump into the ring and take out those without shields and low hp first
-For me there was still a few with shields after this, but I just broke it with my pistol shots (elite pistol), and killed them off with shields

Also you might die a few times before you get this right. Make sure your kills get saved afterwards.

To add some extra pointers to the @rockinredninga's solution:

- Simply throwing shields on other brawlers who also hold a shield won't work as most of the time they will deflect the shield. To make things easier, equip a handgun with armor-piercing ammo. Shoot at their shield till it breaks, then attack them with your shield.

- Having the "Leap of faith" perk (it's basically a double jump) will help to jump around and avoid other brawlers attack you
. Bonecrushers pit will always have 7-8 brawlers for you to churn this achievement, even after you finish the main game.

- It also helps to have "More lung capacity" perk, so that you can keep running around the pit to avoid being hit by brawlers. You can also set the difficulty to "Explore" and make things a little easier for yourself.

- If you simply jump into the Bonecrushers pit, you will be attacked by all the brawler's together which will make the process tedious. Here's what you can do: Kill one brawler at the start of the process from one of the rooftops of the pit, this will alert other brawlers and they all will head to the exit so that they can reach you to attack you. Since it is a narrow exit, they can't all exit together. Wait until only one or two bralwers remain in the pit and then jump into the pit. Now the brawlers will come at you at a much more manageable rate.

Good luck, hope these tips would make it much less irritable for you to get this achievement.

Knocked it out after completing the story. Above the Warehouse outpost there is the Bone Breakers Arena. There are 5+ raiders with a shield and several just with a club. He took the shield and threw it at the raider with the club.

The trophy is unlikely to be obtained in a natural way, since there is no particular need to use shields in the game, so you can do something like in the video , but I did it simply while exploring the map at the beginning of the game, taking away shields from enemies loitering along the roads and using them against the remaining comrades, and finished off the remaining couple of pieces in the first sortie on the ship, where after the alarm was announced a whole crowd of people came running. Throw the shield by pressing , preferably close to the enemy.

With a shield you can kill an enemy of maximum level 2, an enemy with a shield is also vulnerable to being thrown into the shield and can be killed with it
