    At the very start of Act 1 Chapter 3 is your first opportunity to use this ability and a good spot to get this achievement, you will be fighting off Juvies with a pistol and unable to move. Kill the first four Juvies and then wait for the next three to get close to you, once they are all next to each other hold down cn_LT and press cn_Y. If they are close enough Jack will stun all three and get you the achievement, if you mess up you can pause the game and reload the current checkpoint. You can also use Jack's pulse ability by pressing cn_Y to see the Juvies easier, if you are playing on a harder difficulty this spot may not work as they might kill you before they group together.

    Here is a video of me doing it if you need help, the first Juvie dies right at the start which is why it looks like I only killed 3.

    Edit: This must be done when playing as JD, not Jack.

    Lonsta DaMonstaCould you update the solution to say that you must choose JD, and can't do this as Jack? I know it may seem obvious for some but it did cost me five minutes. Thanks!

    Lots of opportunities for this one in the Campaign!

    - Unlocking the "Range Boost" upgrade will help

    - When you see a group of enemies aim at them and press cn_Y to send Jack to Flash them and if you manage to blind 3 of them then the achievement is yours :D

    - I did this at the end of Act 1 Ch 3

    I Was Born In Crossfire Hurricane Achievement Guide

    This achievement can easily be earned at the start of ACT 1 CHAPTER 3. After the helicopter section of the mission, you will make your way into a room that has its wall taken out. There will be a bunch of Swarm drones that make their way into the building now and are generally bunched up together so wait a few seconds for them all to arrive then activate FLASH on one of the enemies for the achievement to pop.

    If for some reason you didn't get it to pop then don't worry as you can just restart the checkpoint. It's important to note that the chances of you earning this achievement through the natural course of the game are high but here is a video guide below for those having trouble.
