Destroyed all 3 bomb dumps at the same time (Mission 7)

How to unlock the Three birds, one stone achievement in Sniper Elite 3 - Definitive Guide

This takes place during Mission 7: Pont du Fahs Airfield.

During the mission, you will come to the optional objective of "Destroy the bomb dump". To do this tactic you will need at least 2 sticks of dynamite which you can spawn with, or find them on enemies. This tactic should also work using other forms of explosives instead, like mines.

Clear out the area of enemies, and place 1 stick of dynamite next to the middle dump's explosive barrel. Place the other stick of dynamite close to the right most base so that it's close enough to get triggered by the middle explosion and set off the other dump. Now, prepare you flint and steel, and light it directly on top of the middle stick of dynamite, which will begin a 20 second counter.

Start running back, and get your sniper ready, aiming it at the left most dump's explosive barrel. As soon as your flint and steel timer is about to hit "0", shoot your rifle to destroy the barrel, and this should destroy all three dumps at the same time. Reference the video below for more information:

+1 from me, however I did it without dynamite, as I couldn't find any off of the guys and didn't want to restart. What I did was put a flint on the far left bunker, (beside the left inside barrel), then threw a grenade at the right bunker at 2 seconds left on the timer and sniped the barrel in the middle one and it popped first try. Seems a bit more complicated then yours haha, but it worked without dynamite.

Threw a grenade in the middle of 2 of them and hurried and shot a barrel on the third. This guide was my inspiration though ;)

As per usual great guide (incidentally its the second ach named "3 birds 1 stone" you've helped me with!)

A point to note is that if you are struggling with the placement, a third stick of dynamite in the centre of dumps 2&3 ensure they all go off. +1 ??

Maka, your guides are all perfect. Just to add to guys above, I didn't want to restart and was hoping to find a stick or two of dynamite, no luck. I found few trip mines, land mines and S-mines, and placed it close enough to each other. Shot left barrel, and it all went chain reaction ;)

It was glitched for me. I repeated it over five times...
So I quit to the main menu, then it popped.

I ended up replaying that part for a hour due to it not popping... Restarted the mission an it randomly popped during it

Worked first time for me. Only needed one stick of dynamite, put it next to the barrel that's between the middle and right dumps, used the flint, and just as the timer hit zero sniped the barrel inside the left dump.

Maka, you rock. I was in a hurry so I found one stick of dynamite and placed it between bunkers 2 and 3, where maka put his, went and hid behind bunker 1 explosive barrel. Threw a grenade near the stick of dynamite, and as it automatically switched back to my gun I pulled the trigger at the first barrel as I was already facing it. I got the chivo and somehow never got hurt. The cinematic nullified the barrel exploding by me.

An easier method is the one grenade and panzerschreck. At the 15:33 mark in PowerPyx excellent guide. Simply toss a grenade in the left most bunker shoot the panzerschrek in the middle of the other two.
There is a panzershreck at the back of the tents across from the bunkers and a grenade in the explosive crate in front of them.

All credit to PowerPyx on this.

Didnt get it first try, you have to be fast, but second try worked.

I found my method slightly easier. Standing across from the first depot I aimed a grenade to land between the second and third depot. Just before the grenade explodes and triggers the cinematic I was able to quickly aim and shoot my pistol at the explosive barrel in front of the first depot. The cinematic should now kick in showing all 3 exploding simultaneously and the achievement should pop.

Three birds, one stone 10GS
Destroy all 3 bomb dumps at the same time (Mission 7)
Unlockable during Mission 7: Pont du Fahs Airfield.
Another easy and missable achievement / trophy.

As you approach the sniper nest at the end of the runway by the gates you should get an optional objective pop up "Destroy the bomb dump". The way I done this was to take out all enemies and wait until the patrolling halftrack has passed, try and tag it so you can see it's whereabouts at all times.
Place as many sticks of dynamite, trip mines, vehicle mines, bouncing betty's as possible in the areas beside the first two dumps, if you have time then place a vehicle mine by the third dump so that the halftrack detonates this and subsequently denotes all of the other explosives you have placed.. Only place the mine if the halftrack is still a safe distance away. Keep an eye on the halftrack incase it changes direction from its normal route.
Don't forget to save before placing the vehicle mine incase of a rare occasion that it doesn’t detonate..

very easy with only 2 sticks of dynamite:
place 1 stick between bomb dump 1 and 2,
place 2nd stick between bomb dump 2 and 3,
flint and steel on one of them and watch the show

This trophy requires you to blow up all 3 bomb dumps during the mission Pont Du Fahs Airfield. The bombs are located on the opposite side that you spawn on. They're behind the 2 buildings at the other side. They look like 3 sided sand bunkers with some camouflage netting on top. When you blow up the middle one, it will also blow up the one to it's right. However, the one of the left will be unexploded. To fix that, place a couple explosives such as dynamite in between the left and middle bomb dumps and then blow the middle one up. If done correctly, all three will blow up at the same time. Be sure to save before attempting incase you mess up. Video guide credit goes to PS4Trophies.

I found I had to place explosives on both sides of the central bunker, possibly due to patching. You don't have to bother being tight with your explosives since you can just load the last save before attempting the feat and walk away with the trophy.

This takes place during Mission 7: Pont du Fahs Airfield, and is somewhat tied to an optional objective. During the mission, you should come to the optional objective of "Destroy the bomb dump". To do this tactic you will need at least 2 sticks of dynamite which you can spawn with, or find them on enemies. This tactic should also work using other forms of explosives instead, like mines, although it is not recommended.

First, clear out the area of enemies, and place 1 stick of dynamite next to the middle dump's explosive barrel. Now, place the other stick of dynamite close to the right most base so that it's close enough to get triggered by the middle explosion but also set off the explosives in the other dump via a chain reaction. At this stage, it is recommend that you save your game and reload last save if you don't unlock the achievement. Now, prepare you flint and steel, and light it directly on top of the middle stick of dynamite, which will begin a 20 second counter on the right side of your screen.

Start running back, and get your sniper ready, aiming it at the left most dump's explosive barrel. As soon as your flint and steel timer is about to hit "0", shoot your rifle to destroy the barrel, which should destroy all three dumps at the same time if timed correctly.
