How to unlock the Tactical distractor achievement in Sniper Elite 3 - Definitive Guide

This is relatively straightforward, and will come as you progress.

If you hold down LB you bring up your equipment list. Select the rock (top right).

Then as you approach a soldier, hold RB and you will get a yellow arc showing where you will throw your rock. Throw it relatively close to the soldier, and he will go "hmmm", a yellow circle will appear over his head and he will start walking to investigate. This counts as one distraction.

I got it by level 3 playing naturally, so there is not really a need to grind it.

you can throw rocks at the same enemies multiple times and this still counts as a distraction.

You can use either flint and steel or rocks to distract enemies, it doesn't matter. They combine into one cumulative total. Once you successfully distract 20 enemies, you'll get the trophy. Flint and steel generally has a better time succeeding.

If you are like me and didn't get this in your first playthrough there is a good spot in Mission 5 Siwa Oasis. You can just throw a rock at the beginning to distract 1-2 guards and then reload the checkpoint.

Here is a short video demonstration:

Relatively easy achievement if you focus on it. Within the game you can distract enemies by throwing rocks near their positions in order to alarm them and make them investigate the sound. You can also light flint and steel, which will start a small flame that lasts 20 seconds, and will also distract enemies who see it nearby.

If using these tactics, the achievement will come through natural progression, but you can also load up any mission, run through and continually throw rocks near enemies to distract them and attain this achievement within a few minutes.
