How to unlock the Aggression achievement in Bendy and the Ink Machine - Definitive Guide
For this achievement you have to defeat Sammy Lawrence and the horde of Searchers and Lost Ones without dying. You also have to get more kills than Alice and Tom.
Edit: Thank you Westworld 2016 for this tip. "Do this on a new save file slot with chapter select, only way I got it to pop"
The fight with Sammy Lawrence can be very easy if you follow the method that CyberneticZ on Steam discovered. If you jump on top of the barrel shown below, Sammy won’t be able to hit you, but you will be able to hit him. However, you should still be careful because he can push you off the barrel. After his mask falls off, jump off the barrel and follow Sammy to the centre to trigger a cutscene.
Next is the Searchers and Lost Ones. Once again, the goal in this part is to get more kills than Alice and Tom. Focus on killing Searchers (the regular blobs) over anything else because you can kill them in one hit. I find if you get too close to the searchers you don’t always one hit them so try to stay back a bit.
The Lost Ones (the ones standing up) take two hits to kill. Try to back up as you’re hitting them to avoid them hitting you.
The Miner Searchers take about 4 hits to kill. It’s best to let Alice and Tom attack them a bit before attempting to kill them.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the barrel method to work for the Searchers and Lost Ones part. They would end up mostly focusing on Alice and Tom, so I wouldn’t get nearly enough kills. It took me 4 attempts to get this achievement. If you end up dying or the achievement doesn’t pop, you have to restart the level which is quite annoying, especially since you have to watch the interaction with Alice and Tom again.
Below is a video showing how I got the achievement when fighting the Searchers and Lost Ones. I used Xbox’s record feature, so you unfortunately don’t see the achievement pop.

Can confirm this works in chapter select. This was my last achievement so as a precaution I removed all my saves (offline and online) and uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Selected chapter 5 in chapter select and played through to the area, then finished the fight and popped the achievement as soon as Alice's dialogue started.
One thing I'd recommend is that, while it may seem obvious, don't move on to a different searcher until the one you hit is for sure dead. I noticed when I hit a lot of searchers they took more than one hit, even though it looked like they died. I really focused on this on my achievement run and I got it no problem, and my run wasn't my best in my opinion. Also for those curious, one run including loading screens is about 15 minutes, so while not ideal to have to go through the dialogue at the beginning again, it's not as bad as it may seem and it's significantly shorter than playing through the whole story again.

Impossible to unlock it. I did all the fights several times without dying with a lot of kill but nothing. does it pop right after the fight or later?

This achievement is hot garbage. There is no easy way to do it. You basically have to have the perfect run where you one shot all the Searchers while getting last hit kills on Lost Ones and the Miners.
In all the videos none of them show the achievement pop so I was getting frustrated not knowing when. It happens right after Alice says "that is all of them."

So I unlocked this on 3-Dec-2022, so I can confirm this isn’t bugged and it is achievable.
That being said it can be tricky.
Firstly I used chapter select to start chapter 5, I’ve seen some guides say you have to do the entire campaign from the beginning but I used chapter select and that worked fine.
Next you have to sit through a 5 minute unskippable cutscene, really wish they’d add a skip button here.
Then grab the pipe and get yourself out of your room. Kill the 3 searchers on the way to the boat.
Get in the boat, sail down the ink river and obviously avoid the giant hand.
Once you make it to the dock you will encounter sammy, use the method of standing on that one barrel so you can hit him and he can’t hit you, after about 12 hits he will drop his mask, then walk up to him to trigger the next cutscene.
After this cutscene you will be joined by Alison and Tom. Now the method I used here was I watched YouTube videos so I knew where enemies would spawn and in what order, it might seem random but it’s not, it’s the same order every time.
Now I was under the impression that you had to kill more than Alison and Tom combined, not true. Tom tends to one-hit most things with his axe and Alison has a machete which also deals a lot of damage. So those two vs you, that’d be tough to get more kills than them. But the requirement for this trophy is to get 45 kills or more during this sequence without dying. So prioritise searchers and lost one’s, only go for miners if you have full health and if they’re distracted, and even then only go for one, because taking out more than one means you waste time when you could use that to get into position for the next round.
Watch your health, I found that if I took 2-3 hits I would back up to avoid dying, I would never go to the docks as this means Tom and Alison would take out all the enemies for me.
So watch health, memorise spawn points for enemies and the order in which they spawn, don’t die, take out at least 45 enemies (no, sammy and the 3 searchers and the beginning of the level do not count).
At the end Alison will say “I think that’s the last of them”, give it 30 seconds, if the trophy doesn’t pop by then that means you didn’t get enough kills and will have to start over.
This trophy can be very frustrating, so there’s no way to keep track of how many you’ve killed and you can be quickly overwhelmed. Just remember to start backing up a bit once you hit an enemy, means you still have range for a second attack with your axe, but that you can be out of range from their swipes.
Best of luck with this one!

In the fifth chapter, during the waves of Seekers and Lost, kill as many opponents as possible than Alice and Tom without dying!

There is also an opinion that you need to make it in 3 minutes after the end of the cutscene, personally, I was successful in my attempt and managed to kill many in 2:30 minutes. If monsters need to be hit in the head, then they will be one-shotted

If you don’t want to waste your nerves, then make a save on a flash drive at the beginning of the 5th chapter during the first playthrough (and then before the battle itself), if you go through the chapter selection, then there will be no saves and you will have to wander for 15 minutes before each attempt, otherwise you will start right away before battle

Alternatively, you can knock out on the first playthrough: if an attempt fails, exit the game and continue from the story checkpoint before the battle
