In Breath of the wild, if a moblin doesn't have any rocks available to throw at you, they will throw bokoblins.

Fun fact: in the Oblivion quest "The Ultimate Heist", the regular guards in the lower floors that try to arrest you and the fancy guards on the upper floors that try to kill you are listed in game as being part of different factions. Since these factions are hostile to each other, if you lead one group into another, these guards tasked with protecting the Imperial Palace will kill each other while the intruder gets off scott-free. Cyrodil's finest, ladies and gentlemen.

In borderlands 2 and 3 there are goliaths in bandit camps. When you shoot the helmet off of these guys they become enraged and start attacking whoever’s closest to them, friend or foe. The real benefit of this is that after the Goliath kills an enemy it will heal and transform again and again allowing them to kill more enemies and dropping better loot when they get killed.

There was a Monty Python and the Holy Grail game where you played a version of Tetris that involved stacking corpses in an open grave while occasionally hearing someone shout "Bring out your dead!" It was Epic. Can't play regular Tetris without picturing those poor Medieval stiffs...
-
The orcs in Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War games are almost as keen to kill each other as they are to kill you, which you can take advantage of if you poison their grog supplies
-
"Stripey murder Garfields" is the best description of a tiger I've ever heard😂
-
In Bioshock it's always fun watching helpless splicers fighting a big daddy
-
In Don't Starve, getting enemies to kill each other is a semi-regular thing to do, and you can even do it to several bosses! One strategy is to lure the Bearger to a forest to let it smash down trees for you to collect later, with enraged Treeguards later showing up to kill it for all the trees its destroyed. Its a win-win-win!
-
In Minecraft, whenever you have a skeleton shoot any other enemy currently attacking you. Always fun.
-
Similar to this is AC3 where you can grab an enemy soldier and use them as a human shield against musket fire. Despite having plenty of time to choose to spare their comrade, the soldiers will instead sacrifice them to try and hit you through them. I can only imagine this is because you always happen to grab the one who snores loudly at night.

In WoW, Priests have an ability called Mind Control that does what it says on the tin, but even better than that was an ability that Outlaw Rogues had during Legion called Bribe. You would give an NPC a fake coin to work for you and start killing other mobs, until they realize the coin is fake after 30 seconds and turn on you. One of the most hilarious explanations for taking control of an enemy I've seen in a video game.

Watching NPCs take out each other is my favourite thing to do in video games. I don't even care if it's less efficient than taking them out myself
-
A bit debatable on if they fully count as enemies seeing as they only attack you on retaliation, but tricking enemies into hitting cukoos in Breath of the Wild is immensely entertaining.
-
I remember being shot at in Alien: Isolation, then running and hiding while the xenomorph came and mopped up the fools shooting at me. We bonded.
-
The poison blade in AC2 works like the berserk dart. Using some coins to lure folks in range of a frenzied, poisoned guard is peak entertainment.
-
In fallout 4 you can reprogram security bots at terminals to scramble their targeting. The best example of this is at the Raceway where you can trigger absolute chaos for the raiders
-
Definitely thought this would have the Fury spell from Skyrim. Nothing more fun than getting in a dark corner, casting this spell on your hapless victim, and then watching as the city guard, or even just their ole bandit buddies cut them down
-
A lot of games tend to have the "enemy base is full of caged monsters that will gladly kill their captors if released" thing going on.
-
Most of the enemy mooks in the open world areas of Dragon Age: Inquisition will fight each other. You might see rebel Templars fighting apostates, bears attacking bandits, demons attacking Freemen (a group of deserters) or undead fighting Avvar barbarians, depending on where you are. There’s also one notable encounter on the Storm Coast where you see a giant fighting a dragon.
-
The Berserk darts are amazing but what makes them truly OP is that they work on anyone, including your primary targets. So you can get to the max range, shoot them and they'll be dead by the time you get back to your ship.
