How to unlock the Speed Slayer achievement in Call of Duty: Ghosts - Definitive Guide
First of all, it is extremely important for all 4 players to have the Venom-X weapon when entering the Final Area. It is recommended that all players save up as much ammo as possible for this weapon. Also, make sure that all the players share cash, so that everyone has a good amount to help each other out with ammo, shields and boosters. Money is hard to come by in the final area because the enemies are rare, and don't give much cash.
As soon as the first player enters the broken wall and the audio dialogue begins, the timer will begin. The tactic is simple, players take turns using the Venom-X to shoot the Breeder in the head, causing the green toxic gas to stay on it. Once the monster takes damage, it will fall and kneel, leaving it 100% vulnerable to direct attacks from up close. Do not use Venom-X during this stage. You want 3 players to be unloading their fully automatic weapons with explosive ammo into its weak spot. Having one member with a fully upgraded Death Machine will work wonders, but is not necessary. The other member will keep smaller enemies that spawn away from the group.
As soon as the Breeder begins to come out of the kneeling position, RUN! You want to seek cover behind one of the hives or work trucks in the area. Watch out for its machine guns, they are extremely powerful. If the Breeder launches eggs, destroy them before they get a chance to hatch, and dispose of small enemies when possible. The Breeder also has a "shielding" period which I believe it invulnerable to Venom-X and regenerates some health. While players are covering the Breeder with Venom-X ammo, the other players will want to aim at the Breeder's head or watch out for small enemies. Rinse and repeat the cycle until it gets down to 50% health, hopefully in about 2 minutes. At this point it will go hide, and a ton of enemies will spawn. Use the small gap in time to regenerate ammo and shield with the team. While she is gone, a ton of difficult enemies will spawn including 3-4 Rhinos. If money/ammo permits, it is recommended that the team uses some sentries/vultures as well extra Venom-X ammo on the Rhinos to bring them down a lot faster and protect the team better. Once the Rhinos are cleared, you want to be under the 3 minute mark with a decent amount of money and Venom-X ammo. Use the above method to kill the Breeder, by using Venom-X ammo and headshots to make the Breeder fall, and then have the entire team shoot her in the weak area. When she is close to dying, use as many abilities as you need to stay alive, and aim for the head to bring her down. Once her health bar disappears, she is dead and the timer stops.
Hopefully your team did it within the 5 minutes, and the achievement will unlock for everyone! It is not recommended to try and get this achievement while using a relic, although it is possible.
Here's my setup when I took on the Breeder:
Maxed Weapon Specialist
Level 4 Pistol (Carry two primaries, usually the LSAT and any other weapon)
Armor Piercing (Maxed Out)
Maxed Out Armor
Riot Shield (Any Level, around 1-3)
Vulture (Maxed Out)
When you face off against the Breeder for the last time, pull out your Venom-X and shoot at it. The damaging cloud will do constant damage to the Breeder. Around two shots, it will drop down and a weak spot will show up. Use the LSAT and unload on it. When you destroy it, or if you take too long to destroy it, it will get back up. Keep your distance and continue the process. Be on the lookout for other aliens trying to stop you and keep a riot shield stowed/equipped to minimize damage taken. Half-way though, it will temporary retreat for you to take on a Rhino. Kill it and any of its friends and after a while, the Breeder will return. Use the same process to finish it off. Utilizing this tactic, you should be able to kill it under 5 minutes.
Note: If you have a Hypno Knife with you, you can pull up your riot shield against a Phantom, who will show up to stop you from killing the Breeder, and turn it friendly so it can help you fend off the aliens trying to kill you.
As soon as you port to the last area, set up sentries/double sentries if you have them. Then switch to venom x, fire at the breeder a few times. Once you do, it will drop to its stomach and expose what looks like a bright hive on its left or right side chest. At this point everyone stops what they're doing, runs up and shoots this spot with everything that they have, inflicting as much damage as possible. Once he comes back up, get back to your sentries and kill adds. Do it again with the venom x. After he drops and you shoot him, if you dont get the kill by the end of the second drop, he will walk away.
From this point, pick up any and all venom x ammo you see and drop new sentries. Normally 2 - 3 rhinos spawn at this point. As well as the pods. Now if the pods are up it will heal the breeder and it can be frustrating and take a longer time, and your cash will start to drop low. Make sure you kill all adds, egg, pods, rhinos and so on. This part is best to have double sentries to help watch your back because the longer you take, the more aliens, rhinos spawn.
Now once she comes back and you drop her for the 3rd with the venom x, everyone lays into her with every weapon they have. We used 2xLMG, 2 assault rifles and before she got up she was dead. So it took us 3 times to knock her down. It may be easier to do more damage if you use a portable sentry to do damage on the breeder as well, but for our run, we wanted the riot shields for more damage control.
As a reminder, only use the venom x on the breeder to knock her down. Try not to waste it on the adds unless its a last resort. As sometimes it is very difficult to get venom x ammo. Shooting her might work, but it will take a substantial amount of time for her to drop, to get this achievement its all about efficiency and speed. So use venom x. Then once shes down, swap to weapons. Also, for us we used all explosive ammo. It seems to do more damage. So we believe anyway.
Good luck.

Killing the Breeder in less than 5 minutes can be prove to be difficult on your first go around, but isn't too bad if all 4 players know their roles and what to do.

It is unlikely, but not impossible, that you kill the Breeder within five minutes in your first attempt.
The counter begins as soon as the Breeder’s health appears on screen.
While being mindful of his tactics in outlined under the Survived Nightfall Trophy guide, you need to go full berserk on the Breeder and rain hell on him. The trick is 80% focus on the Breeder, 20% on everything else. Instrumental to this goal are the highly or fully upgraded portable manned turrets, the Venom-X and good LMGs or ARs. All team members must focus on the Breeder, while being mindful of the enemies, the red mist, the Rhino and, for non-Medics, the Scorpion’s acid spit. Also proximity without vulnerability is key. Be mindful of his tactics and always keep a lookout for the flowers that sprout on the three corners as they will delay his demise, and cost you precious time. Make sure you keep each other steadily supplied and adequately shielded. In focusing on the Breeder’s health one is bound to lose track of their own.
To be sure, the guide author’s team achieved this objective without reliance on portable turrets. So a turret might not be absolutely necessary, however it can really incrementally increase the odds.
Here is video by M-Easy showing the Breeder taken down in less than five minutes. Credits go to him for the video:
Command structure:
1. Engineer - 1 person. (takes drone and shield)
2. Medic - 2 people. (take mine and portable turrets)
3. Shooter - 1 person. (takes the drone and can be sewn)
Layout that must be present and fully upgraded for the final battle:
1. Mine (for doctors) - 2 pcs.
2. Portable turret (for doctors) - 2 pcs.
3. Syringe (at the shooter) - 1 pc.
4. Flying drone (from the one who took it).
5. Medical specializations - 2 people.
6. Shooter Specialization
The weapon that was used for the destruction is important only to the shooter - this is a man-portable machine gun LSAT. You can additionally use the “Saw” as a second weapon (to do this, upgrade the pistol to the third level). Also, a team member who will not be using a portable turret will need a long-range weapon - the LSAT Machine Gun. The cartridges are explosive for everyone.
The most important thing is that all team members must have the Venom weapon, which is given free of charge in the third location after drilling the central hive. This weapon must have at least the standard ammunition given by default (4 charges), but it is very advisable for everyone to collect one more “egg”. Thus, we get 6 charges per person.
Destruction of a spider consists of the following steps:
1. We destroy 50% of the spider's life and force it to temporarily leave the battlefield
2. We destroy 3 rhinoceroses and many of their assistants until the spider returns to the battlefield
3. We finish off the remaining 50% of the spider’s life and hold on a little longer, fighting off its defenders.
It is very important to do everything quickly, before the spider begins to “refuel” itself. energy from red flowers (which can be shot to prevent this possibility, but this will not be necessary if you do everything quickly and smoothly).
It is important to remember the open air area that we get to immediately from the corridor before the fight with the spider. It is on this site that the entire team will destroy 3 rhinoceroses in the second stage of the battle.
Regarding the vulnerable spots of the spider, there may be doubts about where to shoot, because... Glowing areas of the belly periodically appear. However, more time is spent on damaging them and choosing a place to hit them than usual shooting at the head. There is no need to search for these areas. It is much faster to destroy when shooting together in the head (almost in the nose).
Now about the walkthrough itself:
1st stage
The whole team runs closer to the center of the site and waits for the spider there. The whole team should stay in a close group so that the spider does not turn its head and you miss less.
For the first attack, ONLY Venom is required for all players. We shoot at the spider until it falls down.
After this, the shooter begins to shoot the spider in the head with a machine gun (when it hits the right place, red crosses are shown. When they are not there, the spider takes no damage). Medics - deploy portable turrets and support the shooter, shooting the spider in the head. The engineer launches a drone to cover the team from small aliens and also shoots the spider in the head with his weapon.
2nd stage
As soon as the spider begins to crawl away from the battlefield, the whole team retreats to the site that I spoke about earlier to destroy rhinoceroses and all available mines are installed there and portable turrets are deployed (or transferred from the battlefield if they have ammunition left). Turrets are installed in the depths of the site in its corners (there are two of them). To carry the turret, you need to quickly press the square twice.
After the first rhinoceros, you must additionally launch the drone; it will work until the spider appears. After destroying the third rhinoceros, the spider will return back to the battlefield. It is very important to destroy as many other aliens as possible before this moment.
3rd stage
Using the remnants of Venom and whoever doesn’t have a turret left, and in case of their absence - small arms, we knock the spider down and finish him off.
Let me add, for those who don’t know how Venom works.
This is a weapon with a remotely detonated charge. However, the charge itself can stick to any surface (including an alien) and after a while explode on its own, causing damage to all aliens (you are not in danger) who fall into the affected area and then run around for a while infected with gas from the projectile.
But it is best to detonate the charge yourself, before it detonates. This is done (with default layout) by trigger . This way we achieve a more targeted hit of the charge in the right place.
This is exactly how you need to damage the spider by shooting it in the head area.
PERKS:
Class: shooter
Abilities: ARMOR, GRENADE LAUNCHER, AMMO (regular), AUTOTURET or DRONE
First we upgrade the class, then ammo with armor and then the grenade launcher (IMPORTANT).
In the second location there is a machine gun lying around for $3000, take it and look in the boxes for a modification for the weapon that improves the rate of fire. Now there is an IMBA gun.
When you go to the spider for tea, buy a MAXIMUM pumped grenade launcher and shoot him in the head. Dissipates very quickly
