Good and easy location just at the beginning to get this one out of the way.

I did this, and unlocked the achievement. I remember it popping.

Now the game has it listed as incomplete and I cannot get it to pop again regardless of how many times I try. Is anyone else having this issue?

@FallenIntoFire
I am having a similar issue, except it won't unlock for me in the first place. Doing it right here in New Game+ and have even timed myself several times. It just will not unlock. Annoying because it is the only achievement I don't have unlocked for the game.

I did this but must have just been a tiny bit too slow, so I reloaded the checkpoint, but you must need to be really quick because they didn't respawn. I'm not even sure if you can get multiple attempts unless maybe you don't kill the last guy if you know you're too slow.

Does starting a New Game + wipe over your original game? In some games the New Game + can be saved to a separate save file.

@Maiden Ty One You have three save slots in that game and you can then select one for the New Game+ so you can keep the other two. The same also applies for New Game.

Shooting them in the head doesn't always count as a head shot for me. angry

Edit: I managed to get it during the Path Home DLC.

The path of fear dlc is also a great place to get it once you enter the dream world as you get infinite pistol ammo and many enemies spawn very close and quickly sometimes an enemy will die to a headshot then another one will essentially take its place so you can get another headshot almost instantly

Another good location, when you missed it early on, is in "Kuwaq Yaku" during the side mission "Deal with the Pillagers".

When you're at the worksite you have 4 enemies in the first part. Kill the first guy you see and then you can headshot the other 3 in 3 seconds with no problem. Just don't take too long so they don't wander around.

This worked for me. Used focus, performed takedown on first guy, ran for the bush behind the second guy, immediately headshot him, then the last two will be almost lined up from there.

I was on my deadly obsession run when I checked solution for this, went in too fast and guy noticed me, was rolling and healing and soon all 4 guys were all in nice line for me to pop their heads.

I got it in the path of the living, infiltrate the Porvenir camp.

After the burn two enemies at the same time spot for the achievement. Two guys standing next to each other and one further on walking around wait for him to get close to the others and head shot them with the pistol and be fast and accurate. I also had the silencer bought and equipped.

The easiest location to get gunslinger is this:
You must perform 3 headshots in 3 seconds with the pistol. If you take too long (by reloading the pistol), or if you aim the enemy other than the head (chest or legs), reload last checkpoint to try again. Achievement/trophy pops when successful.

I managed to do this in the Howl of The Monkey Gods DLC, during the nightmare sequence.

I got this in the "Pillagers" side mission like tEhHoLLoW, but I had to be in open conflict when I killed my three targets. In other words, I couldn't stealth kill them all, which was actually harder to do with a silenced pistol.

So, no stealth kills and no silencer for an easier time.

This trophy is a bit of a pain to be honest. The main reason being that even on normal difficulty, most enemies wear helmets. It also has a habit of not counting headshots sometimes.

The best places to do this are in the second or third enemy encounters in Cozumel when you have to get through the dig site. In the first encounter, if you kill all 3 and don’t get it, it will auto save and you can’t reset. So make sure before each time you try to switch to an alternative save slot so you can load back to just before. I would recommend trying at the second set of three guys instead though. That way you won’t have this problem as there’s a 4th guy on a ledge. If you don’t kill him you can just keep resetting to the last checkpoint.

Another tip would be to line up two of the guys in your sights so you can do 2 headshots quickly and take a beat to get the last one. 3 seconds isn’t long. You can also turn down camera shaking and vibrating in accessibility options if you want.

It may be worth noting this can’t be done on deadly obsession as it punts you back to the start of the whole section if you reset or die here.

This achievement is missable since there are no enemies present in the game world post-story. 

During the very first main story mission, "Hunter's Moon," your objective will eventually require you to pass through a Trinity dig site. At this time, you will reach a small construction area where there are three enemies with their backs turned toward you. 

Equip the pistol by tapping , position yourself at an angle where you can see all three enemies at once, and then shot them quickly, from right to left, all while aiming for their heads. The game will automatically create an auto-save once all three of these enemies are dead. As such, if you do not unlock the achievement here, don't fret; continue onward to the next area of the dig site. There are another three enemies grouped up here, all with their backs turned once again, so you can attempt the achievement here. Fortunately, if you mess up here, you can reload your checkpoint and try as many times as needed.

The location "Ancient Consumel" is made at the very beginning of the game. After leaving the tomb, according to the plot, there will be several groups of enemies of 3 - 4 people, it is important to first attract attention and then shoot on the heads, otherwise the first kill will be counted as secretive.

It is also ideally performed in Kuvak-Yaku. In the only side quest, immediately after saving the boy, kill the first enemy with a pistol and stay in the cave. Three thugs will run out at the noise. Even if you lack skill in these conditions, it’s easy to knock out a trophy after a couple of attempts.

In the same location, immediately after these three opponents there will be a better place, because after killing these three the checkpoint is overwritten. The next one can be restarted indefinitely. Plus, all three of them stand with their backs to the lara and close. It's easy to get the trophy in a couple of attempts.

Don't use slowdown while aiming.

It’s better to do it right away, in the first skirmishes, and it’s better not to do it during the passage of fatal obsession. I missed this one trophy, I had to be smart about it. Video (the costume in the video increases the duration of the slowdown effect).

I completed the “Path of Fear” additional task. You will only have to shoot from a pistol, you won’t have the “Concentration” potion there, but there are a lot of opponents and they cluster together, this helps a lot. Knocked it out after finishing the main story.

In general, it makes no difference whether it is a hidden murder or not. At least shoot in the helmet. The main thing is to hit three times, not kill

As for me, it can be done easily and naturally, quickly, and with a small number of attempts:
Location: Kuvak Yaku, Peru;
Side quest: "Dangerous Species."

Drawing attention is NOT NECESSARY if you are shooting from a pistol without a silencer.
The place is correct, but it is better to do it on the second three opponents (where the archaeologist was shot). Move slightly to the right in the grass and wait until the sitting enemy stands up - then all 3 heads will be on the same line. It is executed at most the second time and the checkpoint is not overwritten.

The trophy drops using a concentration potion (serpent scale), everything is ok! Knocked out in Kuvak-Yaku, in front of the entrance to an oil well, a good situation: you are in the bushes, 2 opponents are talking in front of you, and the 3rd one passes along the line of fire between them and you. Used the drug, shot in the face looking in my direction, finished off the rest

For those who missed the location of knocking out the trophy from the tips above.
Main quest "The Path of the Living". When you surface at the pier behind the boat. Immediately checkpoint.
Climb out to the left of the nearest enemy, who can be pulled into the water with a silent kill.
There are 2 more enemies standing a little further away. You shoot the one on the left in the head, then aim at the one on the right, and at that moment the one behind you is aggravating to your right, and the aim is right on his head.
It didn't work, restart. I got it the third time.
