    This is done by using cn_down to throw a rock. When you find a group on enemies preferable in any outpost you haven't taken yet, sneak up on them while remaining undetected and used cn_down (down on the d-pad) to throw a rock and distract them. Do this to 15 different enemies and the achievement will pop.

    SIDE NOTE: sometimes it does not register when you distract an enemy and I found it not to work on enemies that have detected me and then I waited for them to "lose sight" of me.

    DOUBLE SIDE NOTE: If you are having problems with it registering, try spamming cn_down over and over until you either hear a "huh" / "what was that" or see the enemy start to look around then check to see if it counted. I would sit in one spot near a group of guards and just spam cn_down for a solid 30 seconds and then check the achievement tracker and it always seemed to work.

    elderdragonlordGood spot. Copperhead rail yard John’s region. Approach building on left with ladders. Shot guy on top. There are 2 guys in building , one by front and another at rear. Mark them with binocs so you can see where they move. Position yourself by holes in roof above them, throw rock to one then move to other. Fast travel to nearby point and return. Repeat process. Works very well and can be done in one spot

    Captain HeroicPlaying from GamePass on the XBox Series X, this is a very simple achievement, no unlocking issues.

    It's actually a great tool to use on outposts etc, so no need to spam it, just normal gameplay as there are so many opportunities to use it.

    XtowersStarting from a new game, I could only start distracting successfully starting at the first outpost on Dutch's Island. The first few encounters wouldn't register anything. It almost seems as if they really need to be posted guards and not scripted encounters.

    - As long as the enemy has not noticed you (a red indicator will show up on the top of your screen) just throw a rock near them cn_down to get progress.

    Press cn_down to throw a Rock or Hold cn_down to Throw a Can while driving or being still in a Vehicle, when you find a Enemy/Enemies get out your Binoculars by Pressing cn_up to Tag them, Sneak up on them from a distance, Throw a Rock, make sure they go back to there spot for each Distraction to count (A lot of Enemies just stand Guard or they walk back & forth from spot to spot) do this 15 times to get the Achievement.
