How to unlock the Triple Threat achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

After struggling with the Acropolis method, I searched and found this one. It's a lot easier to set up and if you mess up the checkpoint is right when you enter the room.

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.

Great solution, but the Expedition mode is completely buggy for me. The People disapear everywhere... even with the acropolis solution all enemys disapear when i throw the smoke granade. seems to be another discontinued game for me for now.

Looks like a good solution, but unfortunately the far-most enemy to the right disappears randomly so the three don't line up ever. :/

This is a great solution, worked for me first attempt. I did use the Boomstick card for insurance purposes (+25% shotgun dmg). The Break Action type of shotgun does the most damage.

A tip for the disappearing guy - shoot one arrow near him, then hide in the scaffolding. He'll look around for you, give up, then join the other two guys in the convenient pool of fuel.

I have tried this one time and again... and I've tried the Acropolis mission as well will zero success.
I wonder what type of shotgun you used, and what upgrades you had on it? I have many, but not the Thunderclap yet (mentioned in another comment). Based on the silhouette, it looks like they're using the Pump-Action.

If you're having trouble with this (like hitting only 2 enemies over and over again) try the Thunderclap. I got it first try after quite a few frustrating failed attempts with the standard shotgun.

I have to add that with an auto-shotgun this seems impossible. In the end I equipped the highest damage shotgun I could find. That did the trick.

Just a note on this - I couldnt get it with the default weapon to start with after 5-6 attempts, my final attempt i thought lets see if incendiary shot works. (RB button).
It tagged them all and killed them and popped 1st go :)

None of the previous solutions work anymore. You can't get the achievement by shooting an explosive. The best way is still replaying Acropolis and having the opening guys rush you back at the tent. Make sure to play Replay Level Elite and equip the highest damage shotgun you've got.

This method as of 28/11/16 works.

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.

Select in the mainmenu Expeditions - Score Attack Mode - The Tower level - Tomb Raider Difficulty and start (cards doesn't matter)
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 struggled with the guide by Zasta above, as I'm not sure why, but every time I made it to the part where you go up the steps and shoot the bridge, there was no one on the bridge. They were ALWAYS at the bottom (one guy jumping off it as i proceeded up the steps).

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!

Exact same problem. Your guide worked great. You may want to add that if you stealth kill the guy on the left when he's yellow (unwatched), it makes getting to the gas can easier undetected.

I too was struggling with the cheevo. To add to his solution after you throw the gas canister to the enemies that pile up, while they are under the influence of the gas can take your pistol and shoot the enemies a couple of time then take the shotgun and fire. It helped me to get the kills quicker.

I skipped the gas can, but in the same area softened up some guys with the pistol and then backed up so they'd funnel through the entrance. Then softened them up some more as they came through. Switched to the shotgun and finally managed to unlock it after a couple tries.

The gas can and barrel solutions did not work for me.

This also worked for the 5 in 10 seconds rifle achievement.

As shooting an exploding barrel no longer works I ended up following this guide on YouTube, got it on the first attempt ...

Did chapter replay elite and set difficulty to adventurer, didn't even need to bother with the smoke bomb as the YouTube did.

I managed to get this on the Cold Darkness Awakened DLC.

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.

Following the solution AND VIDEO for the Chemical Warfare achievement, i got this one as well by using the exact same technique as i had just done for that one.

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

You can do this in Expedition mode during Chapter Replay. Choose The Acropolis chapter for this achievement. (If you're having a hard time, you can choose Chapter Replay Elite to use your upgraded gear and shotgun.) As well, the youtuber who did the video noted to use a smoke bomb. As it stuns them and gives you some more time to line up your shot. Here is a video to help:

Got it on Acropolis via Chapter Replay Elite.
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.

Or in the Acropolis, at the very beginning, as soon as opponents appear, you shoot in the air, wait until three people gather in the arch and shoot at them and (the main thing is to take a shotgun for damage, Thunderbolt is a good solution)

Completed this trophy in the Cold Darkness DLC along with the Give a Man a Fire trophy. We take a shotgun and as soon as the radio reports that all the infected are heading towards you, climb somewhere higher, where it is difficult to reach you or throw grenades at you, and we shoot back with “Dragon Fire” cartridges.

In the croft manor add-on with cards for a shotgun and upgrading it, it is very easy to get since the enemies are slow and crowd together in narrow places

When re-entering the "Flooded Archive" location, enemies cannot move from one room to another. So if you make some noise in the next room in an attempt to get to you, they will gather in a group near the door, and into this group we discharge the Berdanka (the damage has been increased/pumped up).

Tower Level

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

Restarting the chapter at the elite level "Soviet Base".
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 .
