How to unlock the Boomerang achievement in X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Definitive Guide

To repeat what Pixel Brain said in a comment, but to make it easier to read.

"There are 2 rocket henchmen at the start of "Light at the End of the Tunnel" in Chapter 1 (Origins). There is a checkpoint right after you kill them, which starts the water flooding the spillway.
As soon as its finished saving you can quit the chapter and the kills will be saved.

Rinse and repeat for as many times you need.
I only had 12 out of 25, so I had to do this 7 times! but it works, so it was worth it."

This worked for me so i just wanted to make it easier to see as I think its a better solution than comment :P

Good way to grind out the last few but if you take your time in the game, I believe there are 25 rocket henchman... Thumbs up though!

Something a little easier that I found - you'll have to replay some chapters to max out all combat reflexes anyway. Robot enemies are only in level 3, and you can find after first checkpoint 3 drones - when you get in a room to extract a battery. Don't attack them, just reflect their rockets. There are three there, and other four at least in this level, in the middle and before the fight with sentinel.

Worked like a charm. Rockstar's comment is right too, if you have the patience (since sometimes the deflected rockets never hit their mark): You should be able to get all rocket kills on 1 playthrough. You could also save this for later if you'd like since you need 2 playthroughs of the game for a completion

Similar to counter attacks, but this refers to blocking with just before a projectile is about to hit you. If done successfully, the projectile will be reflected back at, and will strike, the enemy who shot it. This can only be done for certain projectiles, and for the purpose of this trophy, the reflected shot must kill the enemy. This limits the trophy to the Grenadier type enemies, as they are the only ones you can kill with a reflected shot.

Unfortunately there are fewer than 25 Grenadiers in the game (that you can realistic use to kill through reflections), so you will not quite get this on your initial playthrough. As progress DOES NOT carry forward, you will need to grind this. I would suggest farming this while you work towards Samurai, using Chapter 2, Level 5 (What I Do Isn't Very Nice), as there are 2 Grenadier in that section. You should reach 25 kills before maxing out the Specialized Military Unit Combat Reflex.

Progress can be tracked at any time from the Statistics Tab on the Pause Menu.
