    I found this one easiest to be done at the beginning of Chapter 6, when you become stranded. Go over to the right hand side from your start point to find grenades and a shotgun. Proceed down this hallway, and you should have just flanked 4 enemies, with a shotgun in your hands at a very close range. Kill them all to unlock the achievement. This will work on any difficulty.

    If you are having trouble using the above method, just keep at it, and use the shotgun in close quarter combat situations when enemies are running towards you, and you can always try to try the difficulty down.

    Easily done once you've completed or started Chapter 6: The Pit. If you've already finished this section I recommend going to chapter select and starting it on Walk on the Beach difficulty.

    Note: Chapter select asks you which of 4 separate save slots you wish to use, so you can save to an empty slot without tampering with your current progress.

    Once you start, immediately run to the right where there will be a shotgun with a dozen or so rounds as well as grenades. You can use the grenades to kick up dust, blinding the men and forcing them to stand still, however it's not necessary due to the close quarters.

    There is a shipping container next to the wall where you find the shotgun, about 3 enemies drop off here and are easily blind fire killed. The other end of the enclosure flanks 2-3 guys depending on how quick you are. It's also easy to get Blind Luck here, as blind firing with the shotgun in such tight spaces is a guaranteed kill.

    In chapter 2 The Dunes, pick up a shotgun the first chance ou can take one from an enemy. After the cutscene with the dj, make your way around the hallway (sprint when you can) until you see an enemy run from the left and drop down outside (note: letting the guy drop down, and waiting until he puts his arm back before killing him will net you the Kill enemey before they throw grenade cheevo).

    Take out all the enemies below before dropping down. Once they are cleared out, switch to the shotgun and sprint past the turret. At this point a small group of guys come out and you can easily kill them all with the shotty to net the cheevo.
