The method
Killing enemies in this game is fun, and you can use multuiple strategies to do so. For the most part, you can lure wandering enemies around with whistles and take them down with stealth attacks. But there are some cases where the enemies are so close to each other that you can't draw their attention without risking them coming at you, or you just don't have the patience to finish them "cleanly". This is where this lazy-cool method comes into use.

As you can see these 4 enemies can't be lured separately, but still too far apart.


Screaming Zemi
The Zemi is basically a very useful decoy grenade, wich attracts every nearby enemy's attention. After you've thrown it, they immediately strat to "investigate" the object. The zemi can be upgraded by giving Casssandra territories: at lvl 2 it smokes and at lvl 3 it has explosives attached. You can buy the zemi from the gun van.

Throwing a Screaming Zemi in between them grabs their attention.

---

They start to "investigate" - gathering around the zemi just waiting for you.

---

You just have to "nadestack" this - throw a molotov or preferably a handgrenade for instant destruction.

---

The example above features just 4 guys, but I've managed to take down 8-10 closely positioned guys sometimes within just a few seconds.
Have fun!

We didn't have slow motion shooting when I wrote this guide, it was patched in later (maybe with the last DLC).
Furthermore, in some situations the strat mentioned in this guide is still easier in some cases. I remember a particular mission when you have to ruin a party in Frisco Fields - I killed around 15 people there with a single grenade.
