    Fast Travel to Pershing Street Once there head to the nearest Drop Point(South west of spawning), look to your right and see a deserted road/alleyway. walk down until you see 3 enemies sitting watching a TV.

    I had Level 3 Bloodware Lvl 3 (Quickhacks do 30% more damage) and Signal Support Lvl 2 (Increases quickhack duration by 50%. This will now allow non lethal grenades such as Incendiary and EMP to kill.

    Hope this guide helps as most of the enemies outside missions do not carry Frag grenades.

    LordHitsFrom patch 2.x onwards, this video was pretty good https://youtu.be/edhiy3aoWU0?si=L5mhejRjVaf_n_hZ

    UnderpntsGnomesFWIW I had a massively awful time with this but I eventually just used the exotic gun skippy to bring the health down of all 3 enemies listed by OP real quick and then used the detonate quick hack and got it instantly.

    Detonate Grenade is an epic quality (purple) quickhack. I was able to craft it after unlocking the Hacker Overlord perk in the Quickhacking skill tree which requires 16 Intelligence.

    After that simply find a group of 3 enemies gathered close enough together to be effected by the blast radius of a grenade. Lower level NCPD events seem to be the most likely to have the ideal circumstances for the achievement.

    Edit: Apparently you can farm the group of enemies near the Chapel dataterm in Pacifica in order to get this as a drop. Mentioned in the comments by NoHeroes94 and confirmed by MyDanishReality.

    Edit 2: Video is not mine was posted in the comments by J2B9, all credit to the creator.

    SchinderdivI purchased the quickhack from the Netrunner right next to the "Batty's Hotel" fast travel dataterm in Pacifica for €$4500.

    DJ RJesterI bought the hack like THOR4205 says above, made a save put some points into grenade damage (engineering) bloodware (quick hack). I then went a very low threat location, knocked out 2 guys, lured the 3rd one in with a distraction and then detonated his grenade next to them.

    Halcyon PureI couldn't get this to pop until I enabled the following, reproduced here from Reddit:

    Under the Quickhacking tab found under Intelligence make sure you have the following enabled:

    Bloodware (Level 3): Quickhacks deal 30% more damage Subliminal Message (Level 2): Quickhacks deal 100% more damage to unaware targets.

    I didn’t see this mentioned in the other guides or comments so pardon if this is duplicate information, but you can buy the Detonate Grenade quickhack from the Quickhack shop in the Coastview area of Pacifica.

    Not ExactlyyThe solution with the “gaurenteed” drop by Chapel no longer works. This is the best go now afaik.
