    To get this you need to hit with Explosive Shot 3 times in the same turn which is a skill the Heavy class gets. This has to be on the same unit not 3 different units using Explosive shot. To achieve this we need to use a skill from the Support class called Surge that resets all cooldowns of a units abilities.

    - You need a heavy unit class with with explosive shot, Level 1 is fine
    - You need 2 Support units with the Surge ability from the bottom right of the skill tree

    You then move your heavy into cover and shoot 3 times to get level 3 anchored (do not take the skill that makes Anchored max level to 5)

    Then you will need to:
    - Use Explosive shot > Use Surge on your Heavy > Use explosive Shot again >Use Surge on your Heavy > Use Explosive Shot for the 3rd time and the achievement should pop

    A few other tips:
    -Getting Empower Lv 1 or 2 on your support classes can help set up the 3x shoot + 3x Explosive shot hits in 1 turn but it's not required as you can get level 3 anchored and then go for the 3x Explosive shot hits the following turn
    - Having a 3rd Support character is also a good option as it allows you an extra Surge in case one of your Explosive Shots Miss.
    - When doing your 3 shots to level up your anchored try to shoot enemies far away with low hit chance to leave more enemies out of the field for the Explosive shots

    JimmieWorldI unlocked in Jacked mode. Its btw really tricky because you need a good lookout to enemies and because for me was only a few enemy I needed to hit them, but at the same time not killing them.

    SSgtRubberDuckyCan confirm you can do a partial hit and have it count for the achievement. I got one normal hit followed by partial hit then finally a normal hit that killed the deviant grunt and all were on the same enemy.

    HnS l top lI can't confirm: "This has to be on the same unit not 3 different units using Explosive shot"
