TrueAchievements
To obtain this achievement you need to kill 10,000 zombies cumulatively across all matches of CoD Vanguard.
To quickly farm kills you can go to a Harvest objective at the Apartments area on Der Anfang and instead of filling up Runestones and completing the objective, just go to the Diabolical Damage perk fountain and watch between the entrances and just kill them as they come. The round will not change, the health of the zombies will stay at whatever round you are on, and you can infinitely stay here until you complete the objective. Zombies constantly drop ammo so ammo will not be a problem. The zombies will increase in speed and become more aggressive the longer you play so you will have to be on your toes the entire time, so if the area is too tight / narrow for your playstyle I recommend doing the Harvest objective in the area where the burning Windmill is at. It is also good to note that when I did this, I did not complete any of the three phases of the Runestones and I did not have any special zombies spawn in, but when I did complete a phase the special zombies started to spawn.
For setup, I recommend maxing Diabolical Damage at the least (constantly go for critical kills to conserve ammo and kill quicker) and possibly Health and Reload Speed. Use a triple pap'd weapon to also grind the 2,500 triple pap kills achievement as well (and for a further combination - use a weapon that you will use in Multiplayer to make progress on maxing a weapon's level quicker for that achievement as well!). I highly also recommend at least having level 2 armor and using the Frost Blast artifact. The earlier the round you grind the kills on, the easier this will be. I farmed kills on Round 11, but it can be done on an earlier round if you choose to as well. For covenants, I recommend using the ones that trigger slow/freeze on the enemy, more damage to slowed/stunned enemies, and increased damage on incremental shots on the same enemy.
This method took me about 6 hours to complete.

I wonder if I get some on PC and some on Xbox if the achievement will be cumulative... I'll let you all know.

I found after the first phase on this seem to have more zombies come through, spawning locations of them change but if you know the layout seems to be abit quicker the special zombies only spawn in for the first couple of zombie spawns seems to be 1 per spawn location then goes back to normal zombies, but depending on the level your own different phases thorough out makes zombie spawns alot easier to grain as they only come through 1 or 2 ways

Excuse my English.
If you, like me, are having problems unlocking some or all of the zombie achievements, the way that 100% worked for me was to play LOCALLY, offline. This is done when you enter the game and it appears connecting to Xbox Live, at that moment press the "B" button and select play offline, enter zombies and play a game. This method will make you not have your level or weapons from the game but do not worry that later you will recover them. This method worked for me on my first attempt at 2,500 level 3 weapon kills and 10,000 zombie kills. I hope you fix it and save yourself many hours of gameplay trying to get those achievements unlocked.
Finally you add that it can be done in different games.

Would you have to do it in one sitting then? Or would it track over multiple occurrences?

No secret here, it will take a while to kill 10,000 zombies. During the Harvest objectives however, there is an infinite amount of zombies that will spawn so these challenges are the best to farm the kills.
There is a pretty good method to farm kills quickly and with almost no effort but it requires a bit of preparation (this method was posted by Dylan-Mehl on PSNP but I added a few things):
There is a pretty good method to farm kills quickly and with almost no effort but it requires a bit of preparation (this method was posted by Dylan-Mehl on PSNP but I added a few things):
- First you want to start with the Einhorn Revolving shotgun in your loadout. This gun is a pain to reload but is good to kill zombies in one hit and works very well against the big zombies with guns.
- Complete objectives until you have enough to upgrade your shotgun to PaP level 3
- While doing that, try to get the Ammo Gremlin covenant (refills ammo when stowed) and the Death Blow covenant (critical hits return one bullet) - if you get rare or legendary covenants it's even better
- Get another gun at PaP level 3, any weapon that you're confortable with will do, you probably won't have to use it with this method but it's just in case
- Once you have all that you should be at round 10-15 so start a Harvest objective when there's one and find a good spot to farm zombies. If you're lucky enough to be inside the house, you can stand on the staircase, zombies should not come from above you so they will line up perfectly below the stairs. Aim for the head and you almost all of the time will perform Critical hits, which will return one or more bullets to your gun depending on how rare your covenant was. Which means you virtually never have to reload your shotgun and can keep shooting at zombies. If you ever need to reload, just switch to your other gun for a few seconds and with the help of the other covenant, your shotgun will refill automatically.
This is not a magical method but that might save some time for this trophy. Unfortunately, this shotgun is not a favorite weapon for any operator so you won't make fast progress towards these trophies.

Zombies Mode - Requires an online connection even if playing Private Solo matches!
This total is cumulative across all games played, regardless of how your session ends (exil or death). It should go without saying, but this should be the last Zombies achievement you worry about - first focus on getting all of the above achievements. In particular, Death Dealer (30G) will require you to get over 3300 kills, and that's assuming you do it in a single sitting and are very efficient. If you break it up over multiple sittings, you'll likely progress more than halfway towards this achievement.
Once all other Zombies achievements are done, if you actually want to use Zombies mode for the Multiplayer achievements (Leet Skills (100G), Top Of The Mountain (35G), and Bling Pro 2.0 (30G)), then this achievement will unavoidably unlock before you unlock all of those. If, however, you just want to get this achievement out of the way and wrapped up as soon as possible, the fastest way to grind kills is to do it in Harvest, using the same exploit as described in other achievements, but with the exception of doing it on as high a wave as you can handle. The later the wave, the more and faster zombies will spawn, meaning more kills in a shorter amount of time. With a PaP3 weapon, and especially with all perks most/fully upgraded, you should have no problems in the Wave 10-15 range. Look for a Harvest portal, get to the second round at least, and you should have 8-10 zombies continually spawning over and over, and rushing you very quickly. Ammo won't be an issue since they drop it so regularly, and special zombies only spawn at the start of each round, meaning once you kill any Boomschreiers and Sturmkriegers, no more will spawn until you progress the objective. While it is a bit boring, it's by far the fastest way to grind out this achievement.
As a side note, before grinding this out, you may want to take a look at various Zombies challenges and work to complete as many as possible, as it'll help you level up much faster for the three Multiplayer achievements.

Or we just try to jump behind the map with improved weapons and shoot everyone. Having the necessary perks.
Location theater. As soon as a transfer or collection task appears in the THEATER location, you can jump behind the map and calmly stand there. Nobody will get it. How to get there - see the photo. We jump onto the low box. We are trying to jump into the second compartment of the roof. There is no conflict there. Where marked in black - yes. You can stand there and shoot with the first one to return the cartridges. But if you jump further under the map, you won’t be able to get out. I haven't found how yet. It's better to stand there above the ceiling. And you can jump from the ceiling at any time in the place where you jumped and continue. This way you can farm without much effort and in safety. Zombies generally converge at one point. All you have to do is click to fire.

The trophy does not drop if it has already been obtained on PS5; in order to obtain it on PS4, you must launch zombie mode in local mode. The same goes for the trophy for 2500 zombies and four artifacts.

The trophy is not buggy 100% on new versions of the game.
In principle, even in a team with randoms you can complete it in 60-80 games.
If you want to do it faster (and most likely you will because the zombie mode is only useful for opening performers, and usually after 15 games it gets very boring with the monotony), then look at the tips for the trophy about 2500 zombies, and do it according to the same scheme!
