How to unlock the Triple Threat achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
Setup, as seen in the video: Chapter Replay Elite, Soviet Installation, Adventurer. No cards were equipped.
Don't be afraid to get real close to the group once the third guy walks over.
All credit to PowerPyx for the awesome video.
I even tried switching shotguns....
A few tips:
- Using the card Boomstick: Shotguns do 25% more damage helps, but isn't necessary.
- I used the Thunderclap Shotgun. Does the most damage of any Shotgun in the game.
Clear the first small area in this level and go forward (through the explosive wall), go up and you see a wooden bridge with explosive barrels, go forward and shoot with your shotgun the barrels.
I tried score challenge mode, level replay, etc. nothing would spawn the bridge the way it should've been (I missed this on the original campaign play).
I used the acropolis level as my method to complete this. If you go back and look at the guide Zasta posted on how to get the kill 5 enemies with a poison arrow. You can follow that method.
BUT. you need a gas can. If you proceed to the part on the Acropolis where you see the cut scene and draw their fire...off to the left behind one of the stands/boxes (not in the back room area) is a gas can. I set the difficulty on the lowest setting so i didn't have to worry about dying trying to get the can.
Run over, grab it, and head back towards the step/ramp up as Zasta described, but throw the gas can at the base of the ramp/steps. Head up to the tent/campfire and wait a little. One/two enemies may come up after you, but the rest should gather up right around your gas can. Walk down, take a few slugs/shots to the chest, and blast away at the gas can with your shotgun. BOOM Achievement yours!
EDIT:
As noted by MulticronX, if you stealth kill the guy on the left when he's yellow (unwatched), it makes getting to the gas can easier undetected!
Did chapter replay elite and set difficulty to adventurer, didn't even need to bother with the smoke bomb as the YouTube did.

If you make noise (blow something up, use a loud weapon etc.) you'll keep on attracting infected enemies. Since most of them have knives, I kept dodging and running circles with enemies in tow until three enemies were close together for the money shot.
Play on the lowest difficulty to make the enemies as weak as possible. You can of course use a shotgun card, but the base Break Action shotgun I found in a weapon cache was good enough.
Expeditions> Score Attack > The Acropolis. Cards dont matter. Follow down to cutscene, shoot someone (dont kill) to get their attention and run way back to the last tent so they all chase you. Turn around and wait for them to come up...Open fire with your shotgun when they are all grouped up. I did more than one in case the first one didn’t hit enough. I probably unloaded 4 rounds into that crowd but the cheeve popped. EZ Cheeve

After the first cutscene, get their attention and run back, then hide behind a crate. When they get close, aim so that it hits 3 of them. Didn't use anything except shotgun. Might require a few tries.
But since a checkpoint is so close, it shouldn't pose too much difficulty. Personaly got this achievement in 8 retries. Good luck.
The Shotgun is automatically unlocked in the story, during a main mission in the Geothermal Valley. The perfect spot for this trophy is in the "The Soviet Installation" chapter. During your story playthrough, the Shotgun is still unavailable at this point so you will have to use "Chapter Replay Elite" later after unlocking it (this game mode lets you keep all your equipment and skill unlocks from the story). After a cutscene, you are in a room with two enemies investigating their injured comrade on the floor so wait behind cover until they move to the generator with the oil leak. A third enemy will join them. Now they are all standing close together. Sneak up from behind, get really close to them and line up your shot. This should let you kill all 3 in one hit (they are unarmored). There is a checkpoint right here so you can retry if you fail. Make sure you select adventurer difficulty for this! On survivor the enemies can take a lot more damage and might not die from one shot. Upgrading the Shotgun damage is also beneficial for this but not absolutely needed.
Alternatively, you can also do this in the Croft Manor DLC when fighting the zombies. Grab the Shotgun from the upper floor and wait for 3 of them to stand close together, then shoot them.

A great place for this achievement can be found in the Soviet Installation, either during your main playthrough or via Expeditions Mode (ideally, using chapter replay elite to retain skills/upgrades). Play through the chapter until the scene with Konstantin, then immediately after this finishes there will be a pair of soldiers standing over an injured soldier on the ground - aim at these three with your shotgun and, if you get your aim just right, with a little luck you'll be able to kill all three with a single shot and unlock the achievement. If not, just reload the checkpoint and retry. Lower difficulties will make this easier. Thanks to Tassie Tiger for suggesting this method.
I've seen reports of being able to unlock this from multiple kills from blowing up a barrel with a shotgun blast, but haven't been able to do this with a fully-patched version of the game.

Go to the first "Bridge" with a red barrel (explosive)
Wait until 3 bad guys appear there and shoot the barrel with a shotgun
The bridge collapses, three die, the achievement pops up
After the eye gouging scene.
I made it using this video .
You can also make a “Renegade” there - here is a video instruction
and "Sheriff in the City" - keep the video .
