How to unlock the An ode to Rube Goldberg achievement in Sniper Elite 3 - Definitive Guide
Description: Got 20 chain reaction explosive kills
At the beginning of the second Mission you will be able to spot an explosive barrel. It's a little hard to see but it will be marked if you look through your binoculars. You get a chain reaction kill towards the achievement everytime.
Make a savegame (progress is not lost after loading) and shoot it, then load your save an repeat until you have your 20 kills. Since this spot is right at the start of the mission it's a pretty fast way to get this one done.
Description: Killed 10 enemies with flint-triggered detonations
This can be done right at the start of the game. First you have to pick up the dynamite on the right hill after you destroyed the vehicle. Walk past the first two enemies and take out the guy that's coughing.
Now make a savegame (progress is not lost after loading) and place the dynamite next to the guy that's standing in front of the cannon. Place the flint right on top of it and hide.
The explosion also kills the two guys standing next to the cannon. Load your savegame and repeat 3 times.
Tip: You actually don't even have to place the dynamite as close to the guy. when i tried this first, i wanted to put it as close as possible and walked too far and he saw me. Then i found it works just fine if you take a step back ;).

If you continue doing this, you will also get the chain reactions achievement.
This is a cumulative achievement for killing enemies with an indirect explosion created by shooting explosives. The initial explosion must be the beginning of a chain reaction that ends up killing the enemy, otherwise it is counted as a normal explosive kill. An example would be shooting dynamite that explodes a nearby barrel, which then kills an enemy.
Most players should get this through natural progression, by being aggresive during their campaign playthrough and shooting explosive barrel near enemy locations. It can also be easily boosted at any point in the game using the "Load Last Save" exploit. It should also be noted that "Chain Reaction" will be confirmed on the right hand side of the screen when you get the kill, so this is a good indicator if you are unsure if they are being counted.
