How to unlock the Misconception achievement in PROTOTYPE - Definitive Guide
This is very easy to do in the later stages of the game. After you gain the ability to fly a helicopter and have infected vision, go steal a helicopter. Than turn on your infected vision by pressing right on the d-pad (), and fly around. The infected water towers will glow and you can target them by pressing left trigger (). From here just fire away at a distance! Now go find 24 more and the achievement will be yours.
Please note that I think in the later stages of the game, there is more opportunity (more infected water towers spawn). So I highly suggest just to wait until the later part of the story before grinding this out.

I just got this achievement via the same method and thought I was a genius, and hurried over to TA to post a guide only to find out you'd done one a full year earlier. Oh well, thumbs up from me anyway!

These water towers appear in the red infected zones. Look for crows flying in a circle to identify the infected ones. You will need to destroy them from range, as they will “hatch” once you begin to approach them.
You can either steal a gun from a soldier, steal a helicopter or throw objects at them to destroy them.
It is possible to destroy these with melee attacks, but you need to be very quick if you want to do it this way.

This is fairly easy once you have the Infected Vision ability and have learned how to fly helicopters. Hijack a helicopter, fly to an infected zone (red on the map), activate your Infected Vision ability, and fly around the rooftops looking for water towers that are glowing a bright red/orange color. If you don't see any right away, just keep flying around and eventually some should spawn. Lock on and destroy them from a distance so that they do not hatch. It shouldn't take long as you will have already had to destroy some infected water towers in the story.

turn on the vision and hit the infected towers: either with a whip hand, or from a turntable, or throw object boxes at the towers.
