Really straight forward achievement. All you have to do is down an enemy by shooting them anywhere but in an organ, so an arm or leg shot and finish him off with a testicle shot. Use the reticle guide to make sure for an accurate shot just to minimise the chance of missing.
It is very simple to achieve.
Simply shoot an enemy in the leg or foot to incapacitate them, you will know when they are incapacitated as they will remain on the floor and nearby enemies will run to them and try to carry them away.
If you are using your rifle, make sure you do not shoot them more than once to incapacitate them, as 2 shots, even in the leg will kill them (my experience on Sniper Elite difficulty).
*NOTE: Once incapacitated, the enemy will bleed out after time, so you will need to act fast in lining up a testicle shot once they are down, as if they bleed out before your shot hits, it will not count.
I did this with the rifle (not any other weapon: Welrod etc) so i cannot comment if the rifle is even needed to complete this achievement. I used the rifle for accuracy only, although other weapons would probably work.
Once the enemy is down, but not out simply line up a shot on enemy's testicles and fire.
You’ll get an indication telling you you’ve incapacitated them. Once they are laying in the ground. Take your sniper rifle out and aim for the testicle area. Can’t miss it. I would stand back 2 meters or so and go for that nut cracker.
To incapacitate an enemy, you need to shoot them in a non-vital area of the body (for example, the foot) and have them fall down, writhing in pain. The Welrod generally works best for this as it is not very powerful and often takes more than one shot to kill an enemy if not aiming at the head. Once they are on the ground, switch to your rifle and focus at their groin. Shoot them and chances are it will be a testicle shot (but is possible it will be a kidney or intestine shot, or sometimes it will count as a general infantry kill).
This works on any difficulty. You can do this on any enemy in the game, but it might be easier if you wait until you are further into the campaign as they are stronger and have more health so are not prone to dying so quickly.
It is recommended that when you incapacitate an enemy, before performing the kill shot, make a manual save just in case your shot is not a testicle shot. This will provide you with limitless opportunities to get the correct kill.
Note: It does not have to show the x-ray killcam for the achievement to unlock so long as it’s a specific testicle shot.
