Must be a buggy achievement, i've tried doing this with both trip mines and s-mines several times but they never explode when the enemy is investigating the body.

Got it to pop finally. This time however i booby trapped a body at the corner of a wall.
When another enemy then was close by i threw a rock on the other side of the body making the enemy run over the body without stopping to investigate. This triggered the explosion.

For me, every time they stop to investigate the mine never exploded.

This can be done in the second mission, Bitanti Village, against the first two enemies you come across. Make sure to take a plantable mine, like the s-mine. Simply take out one enemy, while the other is not looking. Then run up to the dead enemies body and plant your mine on him. Find some cover and then throw a rock near the dead body to attract the second enemy. If done correctly, the mine will explode and you should get a little cinematic as it happens.

Here is a video guide with English commentary!

This can be done as soon as you get either TNT, S-Mines, Teller Mines or Trip Mines. These can all be used to Booby Trap dead enemies. Once you have taken down an enemy, select one of the explosives from the menu and hold RB next to the body.

Once another enemy sees the body, he will investigate and the booby trap will go off as soon as he is in range.

For this achievement all you have to do is place a Booby Trap onto a dead body, have someone investigate, and have them killed by the explosion. You can use the S-Mines, Trip Mines and Teller Mines.

Any traps will do such as the Teller Mine, S-Mine or Trip Wire.

The easiest way to do this is to simply load up any mission kill the first person you see and lay a Teller Mine or S-Mine on his body. If you don't have any on you simply search corpses until you get some.

To lay the trap on a body hold down then throw (hold down ) the body so other enemies can see it. Once one enemy sees the body, that enemy will come over to investigate only to suffer the same fate.

Note: You can only unlock this if you’ve either found or purchased (and assigned into your loadout) Teller Mines or S-Mines.

When you kill an enemy, you have the option to plant a booby trap on the body for someone else to discover. After you’ve killed someone, open the inventory wheel () and select a mine. Walk over to the dead body and you now have the option to plant it on the body. Hold to set the trap.

To get someone else to discover the body, you can do one of two things. First, if someone is nearby, you can throw rocks to get their attention and lure them into discovering the body, or second, you can pick up the dead body and carry it to where other enemies are patrolling, drop/throw the body and hide. You can then either wait for them to naturally discover the body or you can again throw rocks to lure them closer.

Once they walk over to investigate and stand next to the body, they will be killed by the booby trap and the achievement will unlock.
