  Rangers can get the Reaper ability at the rank of Colonel. This lets you chain melee (sword) kills. The first strike is a guaranteed hit at normal damage. The second strike is based on normal percentages and deals lower damage. The third strike is yet lower damage.
  
  Pick out your three victims. Have one of your other soldiers soften up the second one, if necessary. Switch to your Ranger, choose Reaper, get your two melee kills, and then switch to the shard gun for the third kill. This breaks your Reaper chain, of course, but it unlocks the achievement.
  
  I'm sure there are other ways to unlock this achievement. The Faceoff ability of the Sharpshooter Captain comes to mind, but it seems like you'd need three heavily-damaged-but-not-dead targets who all happen to be out of cover at the same time for that to work, and that's pretty hard to set up. Doing it with Reaper should be a piece of cake.
  
  EDIT with minor spoilers: at some point in the game, you will encounter an enemy called a gatekeeper. It has the power to revive multiple dead aliens and civilians as psi zombies. This gives you two ways of unlocking this achievement. The first is with the aforementioned Reaper skill. The psi zombies are weak, unarmored, and not in cover. They are no match for the Reaper. Just activate Reaper, then slash, slash, shoot. You might have good luck with the Faceoff ability here also. The other way is to kill the gatekeeper; all of its psi zombies will die when it dies.
  
  EDIT: archer139 says, "The way I did it.. was throw an acid grenade.. and let the 3 Advent troopers melt.. all three died pretty fast." Acid grenades can be built in the Proving Ground as and Experimental Grenade project. You may get gas or incendiary grenades instead, however. You can research Experimental Grendae again if you want to keep trying for acid.

  You can pick this up in the Alien Hunters DLC mission, but this is a story spoiler for that DLC so...
  
  

  *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***For that mission 'Central' joins the team, and he is a maxed out Ranger with the Reaper skill. There's a section where lots of low health vipers spawn which allows him to pretty easily chain the three kills with the reaper skill.

  I got this in the beginning of the game, in the Lost and Abandoned operation where you encounter ”Lost” zombies that, when killed with a headshot, grants extra action to the xcom operative. As the place is swarming with these things, it’s easy to do, provided the shots connect (I had 70% chances on the first group with my specialist, all shots hit them and killed them in one... although I was playing on Rookie-difficulty ).
  
  As this hasn’t been mentioned in the solutions, I imagine this requires War of the Chosen expansion and the ”Integrate the other dlc”-options ticked on.

  I must say the other solutions are very good. I just wanted to add to them with a video of how I unlocked this achievement, using the "Sharpshooter". I hope you enjoy the video, till next time stay frosty!!

  This is definitely not the best option, but if you have one of your Psi troopers use Void Rift (as long as they have Rupture trained) on three enemies it's possible to kill all three in one shot. In the same vein, you can also do this in the final mission with the Commander Avatar - his Dimension Rift ability has a large area of effect and can easily do enough damage to kill a group of Mutons, Vipers, Sectoids or Faceless if they remain grouped up.
  
  As an alternative for those with the "Shen's Last Gift" DLC, the Overdrive ability of SPARK units gives them an extra action and any shots taken won't end the turn.

  If you have the Alien Hunters DLC this achievement is easy. The first group of enemies you encounter has three aliens with very low health. Use your Void Rift there, easy.
