You can Stun a Spitter & then get behind it. When it awakes, it shouldn't see you. If not, suck it up, then pull it's head off...Achievement.

Just keep in mind if your past this point it’s still very easy to accomplish, try find one on its own where you can hide above and drop down. Did this on chapter 8

I was able to get this on the 2nd spitter I came across

It was on a platform looking in my direction, I stayed as far from it as possible. There was two pathways towards him - a platform infront of him that he was looking at, and a side path to his left.

Once I got close to the side path he turned in that direction so I backtracked that took the path that was infront of him (now on his right)

It's actually easier, if you are 1 v1 with a gunk spitter just suck the bullet, throw it back to the spitter in order to stun him and go behind him. Wait a bit after the recovery from the stun and kill him, it will count as well.

You can get this from the spitter in the final fight which you can do again if you choose to continue after beating the game. Proceed through the fight until the second phase.
If done properly, the spitter will be facing away from you and you can safely collect your achievement.

I used Fiwi04 method in Misty Basin chapter 6. There is a lone spitter, lots of space behind him, works great.

1000/1000G on Sat 25 Dec 2021 in THE GUNK.
This was my last achievement. I had to do it at the final battle, using the checkpoint just before the Gardener, the final boss.

As solid Snake said, it's not missable. You can just load up the final boss over and over. I hugged the wall, walked counter clockwise and sucked up the first one I saw. First try after watching the credits roll.

This can be done much earlier in the game. All you have to do is blast one with your pulse gun and that will knock it out. While it is knocked out just go behind it and wait for it to wake up and then suck it up to kill it.

I tried this for more than an hour now in the final battle. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am sure that I wasn't noticed for a dozen of times.

I had that problem too Offender. I had to start a new game and do it like I did in the video for it to pop

How can you go behind him after his stunned? He immediately know where i am! It’s impossible?!

He can't spot you, if he knows where you are it won't pop. I stunned mine from afar and ran around before he could spot me.

It was bugged, i don't know why, but in the zone i was trying it, he always knew where i was. But in another zone, even if i was facing him, he didn't knew i was here. Finally got it when i was not trying to.

Can also be done in the last boss encounter which means it is not missable. I needed several tries though. Best way was to silently clear the gunk behind the spitter pair, then pull the trigger so that the boss is knocked out and then do it without hurry. I did stun the critter from behind with the pulse nova. It might be bugged so you need several attempts.

I found that the easiest one to get this on is right as soon as you get to the gardeners studio area. You will climb up a vine on the right and Rani will say something like "another statue, lets check it out". Below you is area of gunk moving around the perimeter of it with some ruin platform type structures. You cant see it until you drop down but there is a spitter at the far side of this area behind one of the structures. If you climb/drop down it will see you right away but if you look down and to the left while you are still up top there is a ledge you can drop to, from which you can hop across a couple of platforms and jump down to land behind the spitter and grab his ugly ass. No need to stun him, no particularly precise movement or stealth required

Get behind one, fall into a cliff, when you respawn it's unaware of your presence.

if you are having trouble getting this on the final boss, follow KooshMoose comment. Got it first try after doing it like described in there.

Seconding comment from Sneak-UK. Just drop down to that ledge that you can just about see when you stand on the edge. Then I couldnt jump to the platforms but i just dropped down carefully and kept to my left as far as possible (hiding behind the pillar) which will lead you to be behind the spitter and just jump up to the little platform it is own and immediately vacuum it.

@KooshMoose Fantastic, thank you. For some reason I thought if you had already been seen once it was over. You saved me a good deal of time.

Stunning it and running behind it doesn't seem to work. Once it gets unstunned it still knows where you are. Maybe it was patched?

OK, just got it on the second spitter you find in the game. It can't already be aware of you before you stun it and than run behind it and grab it.

I was able to get this by stunning the turret and then running to cover, once it had recovered I snuck up behind it and killed it just fine. It didn't know where I was upon recovering... Maybe hiding first is the key.

Can also be gotten on the first spitter in the game.
Keep to the right and clear the gunk as you go through the tunnel and past the debris.
Carefully jump onto the platform with the spitter without letting it see you, get behind it, grab and go!

+1 on getting it on the last boss. They spawn after you rip the wires out of the gardener the first time. They spawn with the chargers though so be careful. Have them spot you, and then just run all the way around the outside of the circle map you’re on and they should still be facing the other way that they first seen you.

This is not missable and can be done during the last boss fight. Load up your last save, there will be 2 of them together. When I did it they both saw me to begin with. I tried to sneak behind one of them after it somehow got stunned and killed it but did not work (perhaps because I didn't allow him enough time to recover). I later went the other way around and the other one was still looking in the direction he last saw me. I simply approached him from behind and killed it. Achievement unlocked!

This can be done on the first spitter you encounter.

Chapter 5: Pure Lighting.
You'll enter a room where Rani will comment on the spitter, something along the lines of it being new. You'll also be on a ledge looking down at it.

Here, thanks to Goots 88 and F77Bloky for confirming, you can stun the spitter with cn_LT & cn_B which makes it a bit easier to sneak round.

Drop of the ledge and loop round to the right, sticking close to the right hand wall. I wasn't especially careful, and didn't get spotted. Continue round the pillar, until you can see the spitter. You need to clear a little bit of gunk at the edge of the platform the spitter is on.

I then walked slowly, as close to the wall again, until I was behind it. Then you just RT to grab and pull, and the achievement should pop straight away.

If you do get spotted you can let the spitter kill you, or sit in some gunk to restart the checkpoint.

Not sure if the spitter can become unaware again if if spots you, if someone can confirm?

If you having any troubles let me know

Good guide. I agree with @Goots 88. Stunning the Spitter with cn_LT+cn_B makes this much easier, as you can simply run behind the enemy while it's stunned and it won't spot you.

If you do get spotted, you can still stun it and run behind it. This way it will become unaware of you once more. However, since I already got it at that point, I don't know if you can unlock the achievement that way.

Agreed. You can get it here at first encounter but to make things easier, stun him, go behind and then grab with RT. Popped right away.

You will first encounter gunk spitters in chapter 5 and throughout the rest of the game. They are enemies that are rooted to the ground and shoot projectiles at you. An easy way to get this achievement is to catch a gunk spitter projectile and throw it back at them. This will stun it and allow you to run behind it. Hang out for a little bit making sure that when it is no longer stunned it has no idea you are there. Then grab it and kill it.

To get the achievement you need to kill an unsuspecting Gunk Spitter from behind. It is not necessary to try to approach him through stealth; you can knock him out with a shot, stand behind him and wait until he wakes up. Can be done on the final boss.
