I just tried this, and as soon as Mission 3 starts up there is a cutscene so you are stuck with a grenade launcher and no flash bangs.

Hold down on the D-pad to change cybernetics to the swarm. Restarted the level 3 times trying to figure that out.
Solution worked perfectly though. Thanks!

Go to your Safehouse (mainmenu - campaign- go to safehouse) and unlock at the Cyber Core Station under Chaos Core the ability "Blinding Swarm" and don't forget to equip it before you start mission 3 - In Darkness on Recruit. Shortly after the beginning you jump over an wall (cutscene). Here are enough enemies for achievement. Unleash your blinding swarm and kill the enemies where affected by the swarm.

You can do this in mission one (black ops) without having to buy anything from the safehouse. Get this along with the Accolade 'Toasty'. Video time is 3:20

You will be running through a few hangers after going up the elevator. It is best to follow Diaz as he has the FireFly(H.I.V.E) ability. Simply kill 4 guards that have FireFlies around them. The fireflies looks like little dots that fly from Diaz towards a bunch of enemies on the catwalk of the first hanger you go into. Kill two more enemies that are swarmed after the accolade is earned to earn the achievement.

To get this trophy you will have to unlock the upgrade Blidning Swarm. Once you get that select misson 4 Provocation and finish 6 enemies while only one swarm attacks.

Blinding Swarm is a Cybercore ability that can be purchased in the Chaos Core tree, and upgraded to the Firefly Swarm. Blinding Swarm will distract enemies whereas Firefly Swarm will distract and burn them to death over time. You can simply use either of these in an area with lots of enemies and kill them one by one as they're affected by the swarm. A good place to do this is Mission 4: Provocation - Objective: Get to Cloud Mountain, immediately after the spot where 3 civilians are running and are killed. There's about 8 enemies in close proximity here, so just use the swarm and kill the enemies the swarm targets.

In my opinion, the easiest way to make a trophy is in “Mission 4”, when you are defending “Kane” and opponents are climbing out of the windows.
You stand on the side of the window, release the Fireflies and just shoot. Before this, it is advisable to improve the ability to the maximum
