How to unlock the Death Dealer achievement in Call of Duty: Vanguard - Definitive Guide
Need to level your gun up to level 3 and then get the kills, need 7000 15,000 and then 30,000 points, best way I found also pretty slow is to play a harvest portal and get to phase 2 and farm kills to you get enough points to get all 3 levels at once and then redo another harvest portal and farm the kills up, you can see your points bottom left of screen, tracker doesn't seem to work and the achievement pops mid game

I found that the Harvest mission on the burning windmill map was the easiest by far. Finish the first Sin Eater and then you can stand at the door to the next area and line up waves of zombies charging down hill at you from the left.
Keep killing with you PaP 3 weapon and you got it.

Does anyone know if doing this in a private lobby counts? I got the other achievements just fine like escape artist and cold as ice and I’ve counted about 3,200 kills now with pap3 and no achievement.

Like the other guides say, use the Harvest portal to farm kills. This guide is more to give an idea of time frames for solo players. Obviously quicker and more fun as a group.
Killing a zombie gives 20 cash. Headshot/critical gives 30 cash. Melee kill gives 25 cash. Going on an average of 25 per kill, you need to kill roughly 2000 zombies to have enough cash to PaP level 3 your starter weapon of choice (52500 cash). I went with the MP-40 but it doesn't really matter. I recommend a SMG for a decent rate of fire and relatively fast reload speed. Any upgrades you can do to improve that reload help, but not necessary.
For the bonuses, Instakill is fine, but Nuke kills the enemies and doesn't reward cash, so avoid that. The bonus cash powerup gives you 500 and finishing the Harvest gives 1000 per round (ie, Round 3 gives 3000), so keep that in mind.
You can also boost your cash slightly with upgrades. Killing slow/frozen enemies gives 5 extra cash, so if you see the perk that has a chance to slow/freeze, grab that. Your ability works too (Ring of Fire also gives bonus cash) but the recharge is pretty slow.
Bonuses like 5 quick kills, 20 kills without taking damage only award XP (I think?) and don't give any bonus cash, so don't stress about those.
Grinding a wave 1 or 2 Harvest took about an hour and a half to get enough cash to PaP Lv3 straight away. After that, my next lot of portals didn't include a Harvest so I personally had to wait until wave 4 but it doesn't matter.
If you don't have a Harvest, pick a portal that unlocks a bonus thats helpful. The green Reload Speed upgrade and red Health upgrade were the most useful. You'll also have plenty of Salvage so get yourself some armour.
The next Harvest with your PaP Lv3 weapon will take about an hour and a half as well. As an indicator on how far along you are, if you start it without any cash and avoid bonus cash pickups, you'll have just over 60000 cash on your 2500th kill. The achievement tracker doesn't work and there is no ingame challenge popup for 2500 PaP Lv3 kills.
TLDR; Looking at about 3 hours in one sitting to get this achievement solo.

Spot on 3 hours. To the minute.
Try to equip fast reload before you start.
Venomous vigor and fiendish fortitude helped a lot once zombies became much faster, because from time to time one did get through to me, but the damage was negligible.

If anyone is just now starting to go for this achievement, I recommend playing Shi No Numa and unlocking the Wunderwaffe wonder weapon. I can confirm that you can get all 2,500 kills with the Wunderwaffe and it will count!
There are several guides on youtube explaining the best ways to unlock the wunderwaffe. Here is MrRofleWaffles videos.

After you get the wonder weapon, it will cost you 50,000 points in total to upgrade it to level 3. I recommend training in the pack-a-punch area because it is so spread out. It took me until round 58 to get the achievement, and I was able to get the level 3 weapon before round 20.
The Pack-a-Punch is in the main hub, on the other side of the fountain when starting a new run. Upgrading a weapon to level 3 will cost you a total of 52,500 Zpoints. Don't try to get this amont during early rounds as it'll take a while from just killing zombies. It will come naturally while completing objectives. You can also find upgraded weapons in crates that spawn sometimes in the hub or through the magic box.
Once you get your level 3 weapon it's just a matter of grinding kills. The Harvest objectives have an infinite amount of zombies if you don't complete it so it's a good way to farm. See Grim Reaper for a good farming method.

Zombies Mode - Requires an online connection even if playing Private Solo matches!
This achievement will require the longest Zombies session(s), but technically don't require you to progress any farther than Wave 2. What this achievement requires you to do is to use the Pack-a-Punch machine on a weapon three times, to make it PaP level 3, and then you need to kill a cumulative total of 2500 zombies. Three important notes about this:
The first PaP upgrade costs 7,500 points, the second costs 15,000 points, and the third costs 30,000 points, for a total of 52,500 points to create a PaP3 weapon. This is a massive amount, and if you just play "normally," you likely won't have enough points until at least round 10 or so. Thankfully, there is an exploit you can take advantage of to get enough points on Wave 1: Harvest portals are a source of endless waves of zombies, and the only source of them. These portals require you to pick up relics dropped by killed zombies and place them inside a machine. If you don't place them in the machine, zombies just spawn endlessly until you do so. You can therefore ignore the objective in a Harvest portal and just farm zombies over and over. If you're doing this on Wave 1, I recommend advancing to at least the second round in the Harvest portal (you need to place five relics inside the machine three times to complete the portal; do so once to advance to the second round in the portal) because zombies will spawn faster and move faster, allowing you to get kills faster (don't worry- they won't be anywhere near too fast to handle, especially on Wave 1).
As a result, you can simply start a game, and then in Wave 1 choose a Harvest portal (if one isn't available, you can choose another and look for Harvest in Wave 2, as Wave 2 will still be easily manageable). You can then spend time on that single portal just farming zombie kills to rack up enough points to PaP3 your weapon. Be aware this is a pretty slow and boring process - it's going to take a solid hour on Wave 1 or Wave 2 to amass enough points for all three PaP levels. The tradeoff is that there's virtually no difficulty in doing so, and is the safest way to do it.
Once you've acquired a PaP3 weapon, you then need to get a cumulative total of 2500 kills. Once again, you can choose a Harvest portal (as soon as one is available) and just endless grind kills in the portal until this achievement unlocks. Again, this will be pretty long and boring - you're looking at a solid three hours of just killing zombies in one spot to reach 2500 kills. If you can afford the 4+ hour session though, it's definitely the safest, fastest, and most reliable method, one which anyone of any skill level can use.

Three important notes about this:
- The kills are cumulative, so it doesn't need to be in a single game
- The kills count for this regardless of how your game ends (exfil or death)
- The kills must be with the same weapon! It doesn't matter what weapon, but if you get 1500 kills with PaP3 Sten and 1000 kills with PaP3 Type 11, this achievement won't unlock. All 2500 kills need to be with a single gun, any gun.
The first PaP upgrade costs 7,500 points, the second costs 15,000 points, and the third costs 30,000 points, for a total of 52,500 points to create a PaP3 weapon.

See my trophy tip for 10,000 zombie kills. There I described how to get behind the map and shoot everyone safely. Pre-upgrade your weapon to level 3 and go there. Zombies will stand at one point. You just shoot and that’s it.

I just farmed this trophy on an unpumped gun
The easiest way is to do it with a combat shotgun that is maximally pumped up and not spend the first 6-7 rounds on anything other than upgrading the weapon to level 3
after that damage to crit and all damage perks
and you live until 21-24 waves on easy
combat shotgun imba op

I made the die in one go with a shotgun. On wave 12, in a mission where you accompany the head, you simply stood on the stairs and monotonously killed zombies. The perk that, after critical damage, returns two cartridges to the clip helped a lot, thereby not having to waste time reloading. The race took approximately 1.5 hours. Please note that pausing does not work during a race. If you decide to knock out a die in one go, prepare in advance.
