How to unlock the Catch! achievement in Red Faction: Armageddon - Definitive Guide

Tentacles are long worm like aliens that pop out of the ground, they pick up debris and throw it at you and can also hit you at close range with a stomp attack.
This achievement is simple to obtain and the 1st place you can get it is after you are arrested by the red faction and your convoy gets attacked. You will receive the order " destroy the pods"

As you come out of the cut scene behind you lies an upgrade station and a weapons locker. Grab the magnet gun and run down the hill to the left, at the bottom of the hill a tentacle will spawn.

It will pick debris from the building to its left, as it goes to pick it up aim at its head and then when the cursor goes yellow fire. You then wait until it chucks the debris at you and aim back at the tentacle and fire when the cursor is blue.

At times, the tentacle will pick up a piece of debris, and due to you shooting it or some other disruption, it will drop the debris on the ground. This debris will satisfy the requirements for the achievement -- so if you see a piece of a building that was dropped by a tentacle, use your magnet gun, shooting the debris first and the tentacle second. I found it a bit frustrating to try to shoot the debris while the tentacle had picked it up, as the auto-aim was a bit off-center.

You will have many opportunities to deal with tentacles throughout the game, but if you are farming this, the surface area is a good spot due to the space you have to maneuver.

On the mission where you are back on the surface of Mars you will have your first opportunity to get this trophy. Your convoy gets attacked and Winters tells you to go destroy some bug pods. Before you venture off, make sure you have the magnet gun. There is a weapon machine by the vehicles in your convoy.

Now head off and down the path a bit, a tentacle will spawn out of the ground. Take your magnet gun and when the tentacle flings something at you, catch the debris and shoot it back at the tentacle.

You will face a tentacle near the beginning of level 12 where you have to defend the Red Faction. Wait until the tentacle is holding an object get out your magnet gun and keep tapping on the object. This achievement should unlock even if it gets close, so don't worry about having great accuracy. If you accidentally kill the tentacle just restart the checkpoint or try to get it later on on another tentacle. To prevent yourself from being hit use your shell ability.

Missable.

Tentacles are huge aliens that are, well, a tentacle. They burst out of the ground and throw debris at you. When a Tentacle picks up a piece of debris, aim at the debris with the Magnet Gun and attach an anchor to it. As soon as the Tentacle throws the debris, attach the attractor to the Tentacle and the debris will fly straight back at him.

1. Wait for the tentacle to pick up a piece of debris, the larger the piece of debris, the easier it is for you to get into this piece of debris.
2. Shoot the mag gun first at the fragment while the tentacle is holding the fragment, and then simply hit the tentacle itself with a second shot from the mag gun.

I accidentally found it even simpler. I hit a piece of debris flying at me, but didn’t have time to shoot at the tentacle. The piece fell next to me, but my charge was still attached to it. Calmly aimed the anchor at the tentacle and fired. The fragment flew from the ground back into the tentacle and the achievement immediately fell out. It’s not entirely clear whether this is how it was intended or whether it’s a rare stroke of luck, but you can try. The main thing is to have time to shoot at the fragment while still in flight.

Tentacles appear closer to the middle of the game and after wave 10 in infection mode. You need a magnetic gun. Just wait for the tentacle to throw debris at you and shoot it right back at the tentacle.
