How to unlock the Explosive Efficiency achievement in Sniper Elite 5 - Definitive Guide
Pacify three soldiers with nonlethal melee takedowns. Move three unconscious soldiers into a small group and throw a grenade at the pile.
I just got this on the very first mission on the way to destroying the giant radar tower.
Once you get near the tower you can head through some trenches left of the main entrance, near one of the AA guns are three guys chatting, crouched and talking to each other. Keep using your sense to make sure you don't alert them or they wil split up.
If you are still stealthy, you can crouch walk through their trench and get positioned behind the AA gun, lob a sticky grenade at them, and blip bloop.

This is exactly where I got this achievement, before reading your guide. :)

The absolute best and fastest place to reach is right at the start of Mission 8. There is a small square right at the beginning where 3 soldiers stand together on the right side. Run directly there, throw a grenade and you're done. It doesn't take 15 seconds after the start of the mission.
In case you want a video I put this achievement at the start of my mission 8 collectibles guide.

Thanks for this. Worked perfectly.
I threw my grenade crouched behind the wall before you got into the square. That way, you won't alert the guards. You need to be quick though, as one of the guards starts walking away.
I got mine on the second try, and it's so close to the start, it's really quick if you need to re-start the mission.

Perfect solution. Got it in first try after reading this.

During mission 3 you get an secondary objective to kill an instructor as you enter the area you should see 3 guards all around a table just throw your grenade there and it should work.
Here’s a video guide how I got mine. Mission 7 Secret weapons
As the description says, you need to kill three on-foot enemies with one grenade. Blowing up a vehicle with enemies inside will not count.
There will be many opportunities to earn this throughout the campaign as there are many scripted sections where there will be three enemies in close proximity. You can also coax enemies that are close to one another into gathering together by whistling or with bottles.
Note: In my experience, this did not work by changing your grenade to a sticky grenade. I had to use a regular grenade to get the achievement. Feel free to try either.
Your first opportunity occurs on Mission 1, ‘The Atlantic Wall’. As you are approaching the radio tower, there is an elaborate trench system around the front of it. On the left side while looking at the radar, there is an AA gun with three enemies looking over the trench wall. In the trench, approach the area from the east, crouching and sneaking around the right side of the AA gun. At this point, create a save in case you don’t get the achievement then throw a grenade at the middle enemy and all three should be killed. If not, reload your save and try again.
Another mission you can try this on is Mission 8, ‘Rubble and Ruin’. Using the default starting point (City Limits), run down the street and after a few seconds you will happen upon a courtyard with a statue in the middle. There will be one enemy when you turn the corner then three enemies on the far side of the statue. Silently kill the one enemy then throw a grenade into the group of enemies and they should all be killed. Once again, create a save before throwing the grenade in case all three aren’t killed.

A very easy way to do this is to pacify 3 enemies with or incapacitate them with non lethal weapons. Now pick up their bodies and place them on the ground near each other. Throw a grenade in the middle of them, boom trophy.
