How to unlock the 10 heads are better than 1 achievement in Dead Island Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Easiest way to get this is playing the arena. Since the zombies health is very low, it takes one bullet to kill a zombie for the first couple of waves. The easiest arena is Arena A (easy). You can get it in the first two waves like what I did. Just be very careful when you shoot because your aim assist will bring the sights down when you are aiming down.
The first wave will have 4 zombies.
The second wave will have 6 zombies.
Thus making it exactly 10 zombies.
Hope this helps

If you die it doesn't reset the counter so I just let them come up to me and get right infront of my gun and shoot, then when I couldn't handle them or couldn't get a good shot id just die and re spawn and continue from there, it's a little easier because you could just keep doing wave one and less zombies.

FYI the above poster is wrong, missing the shot does not reset yout counter, only if you miss by hitting the zombie somewhere else. I whiffed four shots in total throughout and still got the achievement.

I had to do this multiple times for it to register. If it doesn't pop the first time keep on doing it; it will pop eventually. The above guide is a good area to attempt this.

If anyone wants an additional tip to make it a lot easier, just let the zombies hit you. If you're a decently higher level than them, it won't be too much damage, and you're practically guaranteed to get the headshot kill with hipfire.

Fast travel to the arenas, go to the top left one (easy) and make sure you have a pistol equipped.I had full ammo and a fully upgraded pistol.

Stay at the entrance and let the zombies come to you. It doesn't matter if you die or miss a shot that doesn't kill another zombie. I missed more shots than I landed and the achievement still popped.

Take your time, I avoided using LT and just use the small white circle for aiming. After the first round or second round, just turn around and exit the arena. Then load it back up and repeat. Even with 10 zombies in the first two waves, a few seemed to always just fall off the cliff so a second entry into the arena was necessary without having to go to a bigger group in round 3.

The other two solutions (easy Arena first two waves) are absolutely fine, but I unlocked this by accident when I was doing the XP "boosting" method to reach lvl 50. Read the solutions for that achievement so you understand what I mean:
Dead Island Definitive EditionSchool of hard knocksAnima PuraThe School of hard knocks achievement in Dead Island Definitive Edition worth 127 pointsReach level 50.

I was doing the one where you get on top of the rifle ammo box in the left corner of the final boss area. I was obviously shooting him in the head after also shooting the gas tank as he passed by it and the in-game achievement tracker (middle right of the screen) was going up every time he died, even though I was restarting from the last checkpoint. I kept going and on the 10th time the achievement popped.

I'd therefore suggest going for "School of Hard Knocks" first and you may kill two birds with one stone like I did.

I spent like an 1hr tryna get this achievement on arenas but the zombies were just to fast for me. I traveled to the life guard tower and I roamed around the shore singling out the zombies and kicking them til they fell to shoot them in the head...

I found the easiest way to do this was to wait until you get to the Jungle area where you can buy ammo and warp to the Garage area of Moresby and lure zombies toward the open door and pick them off from there. It is a very confined space and zombies will not follow you inside the safe zone and it is a much more level elevation which really alleviates a lot of the risk of the dodgy hitboxes and movement of the zombies which will usually ensure that the final shot hits a wayward arm or something. It also ensures that you won't get surrounded and can safely focus on one zombie at a time through a safe and confined area to shoot them. Just keep warping back and forth to respawn some zombies and load up on ammunition in the Jungle area if you need to.
