Every game of wave :
- AI spawns
- AI knocks me down for 2 minutes straight
- AI throws me 100m away in a hole

I can't knock them out, I can't get up as they punch me while I'm down, I can't throw them

Edit: I finally won by sheer luck on the Subway map by climbing the metallic red pillar and they both threw themselves under the train

Subway is by far the easiest and quickest way to get this one. Just grab a guy and stop them in the subway track then grab the other guy and do the same. Done.

Subway is definitely easier. Bring them on track, then climb back up.

@creeping monte, i have just earned this achievement, however, the friend I was playing with didn't get it, and having continued completing more waves on numerous maps, including beating all 5 waves, his still hasn't unlocked. It could be glitched for a rare few sadly.

How do you actually throw the dudes in a direction. I can pick them up but the only thing I know how to do at that point is run off the edge with them lol

I think this is still possibly glitched, I tried it online and beat a few waves but it didn't pop, ill try solo and update if it works.

I did this solo earlier and it worked ok. I did the solo on Subway and just dragged them onto the tracks and let them get hit by a train. Got it first try this way after many failures

I also got this with the "climb the girder" method.
Let one run into the tracks, then take one on until they fall in.
Even then it took like 3 trains to actually hit them! Worst "game" ive played

If this glitches remove save data (from both cloud and local storage) and do it again

Found it easier to do on Grind just kept running up above the grinder until on of the AI fell in or I could headbutt one in, worked fine for the first wave (which is all you need) 👍

For me Subway was the easiest. I dragged down both AI's on the subway tracks. They weren't able to get back up then the Subway killed 'em both. Achievement popped right after!

Subway is definitely the way to go. Tried like 20 times following a different solution on incinerator level and had no luck, first try on subway and cheevo. I just went crazy with the headbutts an knocked both out, picked them up and threw them on tracks and neither was able to climb back up. Then just had to wait for the train to finish them.

I got this one by loading up the Subway stage, pulling both of the AI down onto the tracks and climbed back up. They couldn't get back up so I just waited for the trains to do their work. Took about 3 trains hits.

Hello this is my first solution but after reading other solutions with limited success I feel like I’ve got the best or in my case easiest method to doing this. Start up a local game (1 player) of waves and choose the stage “Roof”. I found this method easiest because you don’t have any real danger besides the AI picking you up. To counter act this I recommend knocking out the taller enemy and then when the smaller one tries to hit you simply hold Rb+LB together and hold Y and you should pick him up, once you do run over to the edge and if your close enough your momentum should be enough to throw them off the edge. May take a few attempts if your having trouble knocking out the bigger guy but it may also work better if you flip the role and knockout the smaller one first. Cheers everyone and if this helped make sure to upvote and if leaving a negative let me know what I can do to improve my solution! Happy hunting :)

Note: If you don’t pick up the enemy after initiating the button combo, you may need to try again as you may not have grabbed the enemy from experience I had times it took a few tries.

Set Game Mode = Waves
Stage = Incinerator

Survive 1 wave fighting against 2x AI's - Punch cn_RB / cn_LB, kick cn_X and headbutt cn_B.

I found incinerator the best stage for this one as you can throw them into the incinerator. FIght the 2 AI's, pick them up using cn_LB / cn_RB to grab and cn_Y to lift them, drag them to the edge and drop them into the fire - you can also drop them on the conveyor or even fight on the conveyor itself and knock them out but that's a bit riskier. I'd recommend doing this one once you are comfortable with the games controls as it takes a bit of getting used to.

The Achievement guide below will walk you through this achievement and all 18 others achievements in the game too including an easy method for getting the most difficult one in my opinion (Sit Down achievement).

You can do this offline or online, solo or with another player. If you’re playing with someone else, though, you must be alive at the end of the round for the trophy to unlock. If you die and your teammate is the one to finish the round, you will not get the trophy.

The easiest level to do this on is Subway. On the top and bottom are some tracks that a subway car will alternate passing by on. Wait for the bottom subway to pass, then toss the enemy(ies) onto the tracks. To do so, hold on to them with and , then press to lift them up. If you’re having trouble throwing them down, just take them down with you. You’ll need to quickly climb back up onto the platform, but the enemy will stay down. The train will hit them, killing them. Do the same to any remaining enemies and as long as you’re alive at the end of the round, the trophy will unlock.

If you need a visual reference for getting this done, please see the video provided under Safety Warning. This trophy is shown at 02:32.

This is most easily completed on the Roof stage. By using the air ducts on the lower left of the ledge to separate a group, an opponent can easily be picked up and thrown from the edge. After throwing the first opponent, just go pick up the second and repeat.

Throwing can be done by holding both shoulder buttons to grab an opponent, pressing to lift, and then releasing all buttons simultaneously to throw.
