How to unlock the Boom Goes the Dynamite achievement in Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

On your way through the story you will get into a shanty town. After a while you will meet a crew member and enemies start to attack you. There will be a lot of dynamite in the air. Use your shotgun and it should be quite easy to get this achievement.

I didn't vote, but this guide doesn't even mention what the secret achievement is about, that's quite an oversight.

But you can click on "Show Secret Details" under the achievement - so why should it be mentioned twice?
It's my firts solution, I am willing to learn about facts that needs to be mentioned :) But I don't really see how "Bundle of dynamite shot out of the air" needs further explanaition.

I just made it in shanty town after finish the game.
3 enemy respown in the sanctuary where is the enter of a tombe. find the icon tombe on the map.
One of them stay at the door shooting a lot of arrow and a few dynamite. You go to the rooft in front of the door and shoot when he send the dynamite.
The respown is casually, maybe try a few time.

Just like N3croscop3 said once you will get into a shanty town that is the best part to get this achievement.

Use the shotgun see the video below for an example.

Took me 3 tries to find a roof where they would throw constantly so I could see where they where throwing from and then shoot the thing. But once I got in a good position it worked like a charm

I couldn't get the enemies to respawn in Shantytown after completing the game - as per another solution.

However, if you've JUST completed the game and haven't got this achievement yet, all is not lost!

Check your save games BEFORE continuing with any other mopping up of collectibles etc. (Going back to the main menu and selecting 'Continue' will display a list of your saves.)

You should have a 'Last Campsite Save' and a numbered save e.g. '1', '2' etc

Load up the campsite save, and if you've not been to any other campsites yet, it will load you into the finale of the game. Do a bit of climbing and then the first batch of enemies will include a dynamite thrower.

Kill off the other enemies, leaving the one with the dynamite alive and you can just keep trying to shoot the dynamite out of the air until you get the achievement. (And if you kill him too early, just load the latest checkpoint.)

Hope that helps some folks out. :)

When you get to Shantytown, Grim will be up a ladder, as you climb you will be caught in an explosion, and the enemy will start throwing dynamite at you, just stand back and shoot one of them out of the air, and the trophy will pop (after about 5 seconds for me).

It doesn't look like you can shoot the molotovs out of the air but you can shoot the dynamite easily after a few attempts.

This trophy is missable.

You can attempt this in the same level as Epic Fumble. There will be at least 3 bundles of dynamite each time in short intervals. Switch to your rifle and shoot the dynamite before they reach the ground. You can keep trying as the game won’t continue until you kill all enemies in the area. Just don’t forget to evade the dynamite that reach you.

In Shantytown, you will start to see enemies throwing dynamite. This is very obvious as the short scene plays where one explodes. Enemies will constantly throw these at you (the ones who have them). They will not run out, so you can keep trying when you see them. This is very easy to obtain, just shoot it out of the sky.

The easiest way to hit dynamite is with a shotgun.
