    This can most easily be done in the Main Mission "The Deserter" in the Montuyoc area.

    You will also need to have the following skills:
    - Flare Gun
    - Flashbang
    - Mine
    - Explosion Radius Epic Skill (Recommended)

    As you approach the group of 7 enemies (including the yellow target), hide behind the truck in the field. Now, shoot a flare in the center in order to have the enemies move towards it. Once they start coming together, run forward, throw 2 flashbangs to blind everyone, equip your mine, plant in in the middle, take a step back and shoot it in order to make it explode. The achievement will unlock if you kill all of the enemies.

    Note: Playing this in co-op will result in the achievements acting glitchy and not properly unlocking.

    GuilhermeajThe final mission of Ocoro Region, "El Emisario", is very good to this achievement too. At start, there are six enemies together in front of the build and have some patrolling the area. So just stay hidden and close while waiting have seven, throw the Flash Bang, run to them and drop the mine. I got at the second try with this method

    TheRealMadMax10To not make the mistake i did, in order to get the achievement you need to shoot the mine, not to throw it and let it detonate. I've tried this achievement 10 times with throwing the mine and it didn't work. To place a mine you need to select it from the d-pad and in that moment when you selected the mine hold LB and place it. (11.04.2022)

    CdxgThis is easily the best guide but everything falls into place just like the video shows but my achievement is just simply not popping.

    Edit: i just got the achievement. Make sure you use the "mine" and not the "prox mine"
    I feel like a knucklehead facepalm

    DakotaThriceYou don't even need to quit out of the game, just travelling to another province and back will respawn them.

    Scratch that, even just fast travelling back to Koani Delta will respawn them.

    Another easy method is to just kidnap 7 enemies. Find an area that has several Orange enemy locations close to each other. Make sure not to do this on the Unidad. Have your team hold position somewhere away from the base your gonna attack. This keeps your allies from killing off any enemies to kidnap. Spawn a vehicle if necessary. Drive up to close to the base and start kidnapping soldiers and placing them in a vehicle. Just run up to an enemy and hit X. This will kidnap them. I could only place 3 enemies in a vehicle at a time.

    Once I cleared a base, i grabbed an empty vehicle and drove to the next nearby base and repeated the process. I then drove back to the original base and parked the vehicles next to each other. I needed 3 vehicles so i parked them in a triangle position. I then placed a mine in the middle of all 3 vehicles and shot it. The explosion killed all 7 enemies and the achievement popped. Good luck!

    VindRaiderThis is the easiest method by far. To make it easier, try to attempt it at night as you may be able to grab many of them while they are asleep. A good region to try this method out is in Itacua province, at Khochi (provincial capital).
