How to unlock the Hat Trick achievement in RAGE - Definitive Guide

In the story related job, "Liberate Captain Marshall," you will be sent to the Authority Prison. This is also right after your discovery of Mind Controlled Darts which are used with your Striker Crossbow. Later in the level there will be Authority Enforcers patrolling below you. Surrounded by them are mutants in prison cells. To your left is a power switch. Power off the switch and the mutants swarm to the two patrolling enforcers. Shoot a mind controlled dart into one of the two enforcers and quickly detonate. You will kill the two enforcers among with all the mutants.

-You can also obtain this achievement in Co-op mode as well. Thank you RaajTM for this input.

- If you happen to miss this achievement using the above strategy you can always go and replay "Bash TV" which is the video I used below uploaded by PowerPyx.

You can buy poison for more Mind Control Arrows as soon as you reach Subway Town (Disc 2). Thanks to z RagnaroK z for this info.

Pretty sure you can buy the poison at a vendor. At least in the last city.

Just making a note, if you are past this part seeing you can't really go back to the Authority Prison - any section where you have mutants swarming you.. perhaps the Blue Line Station (where I got mine) works great. Always seems to be four or more at a time especially in the terminal part fighting the large mutant.

Also, you can obtain this achievement in co-op as well. Doesn't have to be in single player.

The distillery also worked for me ( once you start the pumps). Close quarters, but maybe that actually helps.

Killing yourself counts as one of the 3 I think lol. At least that's what happened when I got it.

From what I noticed, if you're peeking out the window then the mutants will notice you and come for you. The best thing is to crouch down behind the open window, power down the switch wait a second or two(too long and the guards will kill the mutant easily) you just have to wait until the mutants are on the ground floor of the cell area, then pop up snap a dart into the nearest guard and then detonate him right away. I also noticed not every mutant will explode but they will be caught in the explosion and killed. By the time the last mutant tumbles to the ground the achievement should pop. Make sure to have a save ready to reboot right before this so you can try again just in case

I've had plenty of triple kills (when counting the controlled enemy too), but the achievement didn't pop for me :(

It doesn't unlock for some strange reason. I even started a whole new game, but nothing.

I got it after 12 tries in the prison. What i did just before the achiev popped was to wait a few seconds when i was mind controlling one of the guards and then let him explode. So if anybody is still having problems with this.....wait a few seconds when you have control over the guard before you detonate.

This one refused to unlock for me for the longest time. I missed the Prison, so I tried in Bash TV and Blue Line Station. After about 25 overall attempts, it finally popped in the Abandoned Distillery, during the filling sequence. I think I killed about 5 mutants with the detonation. I didn't wait to detonate, he just lit himself up, as all the mutants seem to do. Not sure what was different about this attempt other than the achievement finally working.

Make sure you fire the dart on the left guard, the one not facing you. That did the trick for me, after trying half a dozen times with the other guard.

I found the wording on this achievement a bit misleading. You only need to kill 3 enemies total with the mind control dart explosion, including the enemy that explodes not 4 like I read it. (Confirmed)

The easiest place I found to accomplished this was in the Mutant Bash TV arena Round 1. Simply let 3 mutants crowd you, peg one with a mind control dart then keep hitting A so he explodes before the attacking mutants finish you off. Pop achievement. There is a chance the explosion will kill you too so make sure your defib is fully charged.

Are you sure that you didn't kill 4 mutants after all, maybe one out of your sight? I mean, the achievement picture shows the big mind controlled skull above three other skulls...

Just tried it, you have to kill two and the one you shoot (three total), not the controlled and three more.

Yeah just 3 needed, tagged the authority guard (as in another guide) and exploded him killing 2 mutants and it popped right away.

The achievement tile makes it look like you need 4 though lol

I can also confirm. Did it at authority prison after you rescue Marshall from prison.

I definitely had to kill 4 mutants to get this achievement.

Killed three several times and it didn't pop.

It is possible, I swear it was only 3 total though.... Unfortunately I have no way to confirm it now that I have unlocked the achievement. Maybe you can experiment while you unlock it and confirm for me? It would be appreciated. That was my interpretation of the icon as well, how-ever when I unlocked it I'm 99.9% sure there was only 3 enemies.

Wait to be attacked and surrounded by a group of enemies. Have your bow already out. Run backwards while firing into one of the enemies. He will explode without your view going into 'control' mode, killing the other enemies standing next to you/him. I got mine during the start of the mission "Blue Line Station", but anywhere your surrounded by enemies will work. I believe I took heavy damage from the blast, but I lived.

For those of you who want to get this in normal game play! I missed the opportunity to get this in "Liberate Captain Marshall" mission but found another spot were you could do it without enemies rushing you and getting hurt or missing the chance because of lack of enemies.
(make sure you have lock grinders, plenty of ammo, plenty of advanced wing sticks, plenty of mind control bolts, and a few advanced sentry turrets!)

In the mission "Power Struggle" when you get to the room were you have to use a lock grinder to get in the small room to avoid the moving ceiling blades, from the room kill the guys at the end of it waiting for you with mind control bolts or electric bolts for speed and so you don't use too much ammo or any of your gadgets.
Once they are gone you go through a few rooms and up stairs before you engage any other hostiles. (save at this point) Through the doorway on the left at the top of the stairs you will hear and see a guy with his back to you walking away, quickly wing stick him run down and there is a guy just to the right behind a pipe who you wing stick also. Now run to the right and there is a little walkway, bridge, gantry, whatever you want to call it!
Put a advanced sentry turret at the far end of it nearer the on coming enemies who you can now see running from the far left to your position, doing this gives them less cover and they just run into your turrets path and are mowed down and give your turret cover with advanced wing sticks! There will then be a slight pause were the enemies are holding back around the corner on the left, your turret still should be firing on them helping to pin them down. Advance and equip your bow with mind control bolts and there are three enemies taking cover, two on the left of a structure in the middle of the walkway and one on the right. Go for the guy taking cover behind the structure in the middle, when he's controlled make sure you have a similar gap between the two other guys and explode him and you should pop the achievement! More enemies come if you only kill a couple of them so another chance, but only took me a couple of tries from my save point to get it!

Hope this helps someone out! Sorry about the long description, don't have the gear to do a video or I would have made one!

This achievement is awarded for killing at least 3 enemies by detonating a single Mind Control Bolt-affected victim. For best result, fire a Mind Control Bolt into a tight cluster of enemies and detonate the victim before his buddies can run away. You can get this in co-op mode as well.

You get mind control darts for the striker crossbow and the schematic to make them once you accept the mission "Secret Delivery" from Dr Kvasir about half way through the game. The bolts allow you to control enemies for a short period of time and then detonate them. There are lots of places to get this trophy in the game, whenever you find yourself in a tight space with 3 enemies, take it to your advantage to get the trophy. Here's a video by Powerpyx showing where and how he got the trophy very easily in Mutant Bash TV:
