This achievement seems to have been updated and instead of 3 elites, it’s been lowered to just 1. This is MUCH more doable and can easily be done solo with bots or teammates. Just wait until a hold out in a mission or when you noticed a lot of elite enemies are grouped. Just go kamikaze into them while your perils of the warp is reaching 100%. Then let it max out, stand in the middle of the group, and you’ll eventually get it. It’s trial and error, but I got this after two attempts compared to my 15+ attempts when it was needing 3 elites.

You have to keep using it once it hits 100%. There’s a small buffer between it going off at 100% and letting you cool down. So keep using it once you reach 100% and then it’ll activate. You’ll have like 2 seconds to keep walking before it goes off. That’s where you’ll want to go kamikaze into a group

What actually triggers perils of the warp to explode? I get it to 100% all the time and dont explode?

I tried this one solo given how much of a pig it is for your team. If you do get a decent group together than having them just leave the Ragers / Maulers / shot gunners should make this reasonably easy on Malice. Ping Shotgunners with a single hit and they will die to your explosion. A few hits on Ragers / Maulers (go into the Meatgrinder and check, for me it was 3-4 at level 22) with your staff should be enough. Main issue on Malice may be getting enough of them together unless you are on high intensity as they more commonly seem to spawn in groups of 2.
A good tip with a group going for this: The new Comms Plex map has endlessly spawning Gunners at the end before the lift up. (opposite where the switch it). It can be as low as 2 on a base Malice run and 4 on a high intensity Damnation run, Heresy should be 3. This is a great spot to farm this and also the 'Pick n Mix' Penance (no achievement for this though) in a group. You can play normally until then as well as just need this one detour to pop it. You can even try solo during the waves in PUGs if you are careful, and may not completely wipe your team. (This is the hardest part of the map, but pretty simple with a good Sharpshooter).
Solo though.....
Hab Dreyko. Heresy. High Intensity. Why Heresy? The bots will go down quicker (less chance of them taking a kill away) and won't kill the enemies too quick, on Malice they'll often kill a Rager or Mauler before you can pop. There will also be more Elites / Specials in Heresy. I assume Damnation will work as well but you need to damage the enemies more first and stray shots take you down too quick in the open..
At the first jump when you head down you want a melee heavy spawn. Generally you will have a t least 3 Maulers which is all you need and there will be enough grunts to keep the bots busy. Most times I had at least 6 Ragers / Maulers (in two groups). Likely you'll have a couple of Crushers / Bulwarks around as well. It's pretty easy to get them all rushing forward at once, simply damage them with the surge staff secondary attack (you'll likely need to use your special to have enough casts to damage them enough) run in and pop.
It took me 5 tries. 3 of those I killed two when I popped, one I messed up entirely and another got me the penance / achievement. Much, much easier than any other map / combination I tried this on.
