Mass Effect: Andromeda

It seems to be glitched, in a good way, basically I used this method but I have the radius upgrade on pull and I managed to pick up 2 guys and an explosive canister, when I used throw, all three things went flying at someone and the achievement popped on my first throw.

Nice one Zacca, I seem to remember on one throw of mine my progress shot up by about 35% so it is a bit funky.

Thanks for the clarification. Wondered why it wasn't working.

This only seems to register when you see a cross icon when the two enemies collide. I've thrown some guys in close range and it hasn't registered if the cross hasn't popped up.

Does anyone know if it makes any difference whether the enemy you throw dies, or if the target enemy has shields/armour etc? Just trying to narrow down why it doesn't always work.

Unsure why it's a bit inconsistent.I tried a few different approaches and from what I remember I don't think a kill is required just a successful contact.The 'cross' you mention is a hit marker & therefore I think only throws that result in a hit marker (cross) count.

I had the same experience as Zacca. I was at 64%, my next Pull picked up one enemy and two canisters; I threw them all at a couple of Adhi and my achievement popped right after the explosion.

I have just thrown 52 enemies into enemies from different distances and not one single throw counted :') how they mess this up

Wow Fexiq that sucks! Not heard that from anyone else,all I can suggest is trying in a different area with different enemies & doing it literally point blank range ( if you haven't already) I got it on Kett & in an actual story mission.

Finally got this last night. Although I definitely got a couple of "long distance" throws to count early on Eos, I noticed that after those instances only close range or point blank throws worked. The best place I found was on Havarl, and was achieved by grabbing the creatures that are similar to the Kett wraiths (4 legged creatures that have active camo). You tend to encounter them in groups of between 2 and 5 at a time so you can let them approach to attack you then grab one with pull once they come out of cloak, and then throw it at any others that are right in front of you. Then just evade until your powers cool down and do it again.

Can confirm that you have to be pretty stupidly close to the enemy that you're throwing the other enemy at for it to count. Either Havarl or Kadara are decent places to do this. And also, it may seem like common sense, but make sure you direct both of your squadmates away from enemies so that they don't kill them before you can throw them.

I've gotten these to register from long distance. All you need is for the health bar to be visible. There isn't a range cap: it's just very finicky.

SmokingBmbr465 it would appear you're in a minority of 1 because I had no joy at all from distance whether I could see the health bar or not, they may have tweaked it in a patch but I don't remember seeing it in patch notes.

I just got this randomly while not being anywhere close to having the criteria met. It's definitely a bit buggy right now. I was standing very close to the people I was throwing enemies at, and a few times a canister or something else would get sucked into my pull so I would end up throwing 2 people and a canister or 2, and after doing a few of those it got me the achievement. The canisters exploded and killed/hit a ton of people too, so I wonder if that has something to do with the count. I got it all on the planet Elaaden

Can confirm you can get it do almost instantly unlock if you pull one together with a canister and get a kill, I got a fire combo and it unlocked. Had only done 1 pull and throw that hit before that.

I got this achievement while going for the Trip Mine achievement. It was the first time I threw an enemy using Pull. I slammed the enemy on the trip mine and this achievement unexpectedly unlocked. Go figure...

It seems to only need 5, not 25 as of now

This popped after my first throw. I'm certain it was because I had just unlocked Throw.

Thank heavens for this tip!! I was getting so frustrated about this not working at all, but I was doing everything at a distance and as soon as I started running up for the point-blank throw it worked. I also seem to have gotten the explosive canister positive glitch - went from about 60% to unlocked after a throw where a canister had gotten roped into my pull.

Popped on my 1st one, I was on Havarl and threw one into another at point blank but there was a barrel or something there too, I got a fire combo, diet, and it popped

I can agree with what was stated above. My tracker went from about 70% to completion whenever I threw someone with an explosive container attached.

I did all of these on Liam's loyalty mission, from 0% to complete. Lots of unshielded enemies, a few explosive canisters. It was easy enough - recommend having as much reduced cool down as possible for pull and throw.

ive literally done this over 50 times and dont have one that counts yet on the tracker ...

ive even resorted to just using throw when people line up and the shit still doesnt count ... yay !

same over here... I did it at least 5-6 times and the tracker is still stuck on 0...

Yea, same here. Counts every once in a while but mostly not. Doesn't seem to matter if the enemies are shielded, armored, or regular health bars.

Once my counter reached 4 it stopped counting and I've done this over and over as well...

Same. It stopped at 40%...

Vash, you're totally right! Been trying to get this one all day from a distance but then I move in close and progress is tracking. Thanks for the tip!

Probably add that to the solution?

Confirmed you need to be close. About 5 feet away is good. No need to be right on top of the enemy. Spamming a checkpoint it's going pretty fast.

Thanks guys! Great find Vash!

Nice one Vash,you need to put a guide up as many people might not even check these comments.

Thanks Vash ! It works !

Vash8806 I've put up a guide giving you full credit but if you want to put your own up I will happily take mine down.

Added to solution :)

The entire time I was doing Voeld's critical path mission, I was pulling and throwing every enemy I could. Unfortunately, like many who have already commented, nothing was counting for me. Two grabs and a hit against a unshielded enemy? Nothing. A single grab against a shielded enemy? Again, nothing. I even tried respeccing so only one point was in each, as I originally had both pull and throw at rank 4. Unfortunately, still nothing.

I realized something today, though. I've only ever been using pull and throw while at a distance. So, today, while finishing up my side missions on Voeld, I started pulling and throwing enemies while up close and personal. Like, I hit my intended target within a second or two of using throw. It didn't register all the time, but I was able to unlock this achievement while clearing out an area for a mission. Even better, I think double pull counts for two, so long as both pulled enemies strike a living target (even if they both hit the same enemy).

Tl;dr: pull an enemy (holding the button, of course), get right up in your target's face, then use throw.
