I finally managed to pop this achievement today after about 5 tries on casual, wasting 2 instakills, partly not sure what to do and what counted, what did not. As mentioned above, all the times prior to popping it, I played on casual. Today I did a test run for the easter egg to practice some stuff and managed to pop the achievement, even though I did not fully commit to going for it. Let me give you an explanation of what the achievement requires you to do:
- You will have to kill either gas, water, fire or electric zombies by exploding them. This explosion can kill nearby zombies as well. You have to kill 9 zombies by causing one of the 4 elemental zombies to explode. This does not have to be done at once, although you must do so in a single game. E.g. you can kill 5 fire zombies with brain rot, each time taking down 1 additional zombie and kill 2 gas zombies with cryofreeze taking down 1 and 3 zombies with the explosion.
- You will need to repack your weapons in order to be able to cause a Catalytic explosion. Each repack can cause a different zombie to explode via a catalytic explosion.
Fire zombies ->> Brain Rot
Water zombies ->> Killowatt
Gas zombies ->> Cryofreeze
Electrical zombies ->> Fire bomb
I personally find brain rot the easiest, as I could clearly see a white bubble appear when the catalytic occurred.
Note: The elemental zombies can explode with any weapon, though note that the achievement requires CATALYTIC explosions and not any explosion caused by these zombies.

I just unlocked this without trying on casual using brain rot.

That is odd as I never managed to pop it on casual. Maybe it was glitched in the past but the recent update fixed it

A Catalytic Detonation occurs randomly when you shoot a Catalyst zombie with a gun that has the "opposite" elemental effect via repacking it. The Catalyst zombies and their opposites are as follows:
If you have enough points before you get the achievement you should pack and repack a second gun to get a different effect, meaning you'll have twice the chance of getting a catalyst you need to spawn. It should be noted that you'll want a relatively weak gun (i.e. not a shotgun/explosive) as the more bullets you can put into an enemy, the more likely at least one of them will trigger the detonation. The Electric or Poison zombies are probably the easiest to do this with, as the water zombie often runs away from you and the fire one tends to explode for other reasons.
- Water: Kill-O-Watt
- Fire: Brain Rot
- Electric: Firebomb
- Poison: Cryofreeze

You need to kill a special zombie and have it kill 9 other zombies with its explosion (not at the same time)
It is worth considering that you need to kill a special zombie with a weapon that has a perk improvement for a specific zombie.
Electric Zombie - Fire Bomb
Poison Zombie - Cryofreeze (ice)
Fire Zombie - Brain Rot
Water (Ice) - Kill-o-watt (electro)
In principle, when you make Easter eggs for quests, this trophy will drop automatically, since in any case you will improve your weapon several times.
