How to unlock the It's All in the Reflexes. achievement in Insurgency: Sandstorm - Definitive Guide

Thanks to SMKR 88 who discovered this:
As always play Coop!
Simply throw your own grenade at the ground, pick it up and throw it at the enemy.
I used the M67 grenade while playing as insurgent! Maybe it only counts while using the other teams frag grenade, that means when you are playing es Insurgent you need to use the Security frag grenades and when playing as Security you need to use the Insurgents frag grenade (this is not confirmed, but just my guess).
For Class: I simply took the rifleman with max. grenades
Have fun unlocking this, worked for me at the first try!

I want to confirm that this works. I was playing some PVP, found an AFK player, tossed an m67 frag on the ground while playing as an insurgent, picked it up and threw it at the player killing them. You can’t see in the video, but it unlocks the achievement for me.

is there any way to make a solo co-op session? dumb question, i know but my teammates always end up stealing my kills or just walk right into my grenades.

(edit: minutes after posting this i got it lol. i found this way easier and quicker to just do it in PVP.)

Just got this myself. Credit goes to u/LuluFedhund from an old Reddit post.

So here's the trick, you can throw your teammate's live grenades at the enemies and they also count for the achievement. Plus it works in PVE.

So what you want to do is: get a friend and yourself together in a PVE game, both max out your grenades (You need the heavy carrier to have 3 grenades) Then just go out into the game and throw live grenades on the floor in front of your friend and let them pick it up and re-throw it toward some enemies. ( you pick up live grenades by pressing Y while looking at the grenade)

It can be abit of a hassle, especially with Co-op teammates shooting people before you can get your grenade in there, will be abit of trial and error. Apparently, you can pick up your teammates IED and just suicide into enemies, but I can not confirm this.

Can I just add that you can also throw your own grenade at your feet, then pick it back up and throw it at the enemy. Just unlocked the achievement myself this way.

IT WORKS!!
I used the Securities frag grenade while playing as Insurgent, maybe that could be the problem for some.

Any advice on actually throwing the damn thing? I press Y to pick it up but quickly have to adjust my aim up and the idiot only throws it about five feet in front of me.

I found out a simpler variant.

If you are about to enter a room where there are enemies (staircase down or stairs also goes up) just throw your own grenade in front of you at a short distance in front of a wall ..then pick it up again..and then throw it up or down into the room ..or stairs !!

Achievement unlocked!!
