How to unlock the Payback achievement in The Orange Box - Definitive Guide
To unlock this achievement, you must kill a Hunter this its own flechettes. To gain the ability to use the Hunter's flechettes against him, grab a large item that doesn't break, and hold it in front of you. Wait for the hunter to fire its flechettes. Some of them will attach to the item you are holding. Now, just launch the item that you are holding at the hunter. If the blast is powerful enough to kill the hunter, you will unlock the achievement. If not, wash, rinse, and repeat until you kill the hunter.

tires would be the large item that dont break and theres plenty during your first fight with them.

A good place to do this is episode 2 level "riding shotgun". After you turn the power on at the radio tower hunters will attack your position inside the room with Alyx. Once they break through the door you will see a tire near them. Use the gravity gun to pick it up and when they shoot at you the flechettes will stick to it. Just fire it back at them a couple times.
Obviously it is easier to do on easy difficulty.

worked perfectly. Used the shotgun to soften them up a bit first, then hit em with the tire.

This is how I did it. I was just gonna check if anyone else had posted a similar solution. Quick as well. Right at the start of the level.

When a hunter is attacking you you should notice that it shots these little darts that blow up just use your gravity gun to pick up a box or another object. The hunter will shoot the boxes then throw the box at it and if it dies you should have the achievement.
