Dead Island Definitive Edition

Yeah I didn't risk kicking but tackling was fine.

hi, was having major problems with this, we tried 3 player last night all with custom weapons all getting a kill minimum each round, but the counter might get to 1 or 2 if at all, tried 2 player co op exactly the same.
tried one player getting 99% kills still same.

so i tried single player tonight and it worked perfectly.
but it may be worth adding my 3 attempts i ahd to quit round 6/8/1 at last enemy in round looked like spawning outside the map.
so on my final attempt when this happened, i was checking online for any workarounds etc and the level just ended after couple minutes. i had this happen wave 3/5 and 10. on wave 10 i nearly gave up and had just got laptop again and round ended and achievement popped took about 5 mins.

so if this happens to any one else just wait

Ha it go all buggy on me last night with a mate. Stopped at 20% each time. I have a modded pistol which I use to take out the Suiciders. If there are enemies nearby they will take damage. Or get close enough to trigger their death and jump backwards.

This game is severely broken.

Easy Arena: Max 30%
Moderate Arena: 50%
Hard Arena: Nailed it.

Seems like it works fine on Hard, as the other arenas it reset before it unlocks.

So custom weapons means what?

Only weapons that have had an element/modifier added.
I.E

Bleeding damage
Fire / shock etc
Force

So Nail'd Bat would work.
Scorching cleaver etc.


So anything you've used materials to improve with a blueprint/schematic NOT upgrades though.

Yeah it's very very dodgy!!!

Got it on the 5th try (arena d) only difference i made that time was to make a kill with 2 different modded weps each round. (pistol and sword)

Didnt pop until wave 12 strangely.

To those claiming it is glitchy. It is not. If you hit an enemy with a 1) Kick , 2) Punch after being grabbed, 3) a suiciders death, 4) non modded weapon - The progress will reset. You just probably did one of these things.

Game keeps glitching on me spawning enemies out side the arena area on wave 5

In my experience of experimenting solo trying for this it seems to not be bugged as such but is a lot stricter than it seems. Using just my custom Sledgehammer and nothing else seemed to work at first but then I'd notice it stopped after different actions were performed, these included: picking up anything from a dead body, kicking and healing with a med pack. Jumping was fine, fixing my weapon at the bench was fine and getting the suiciders to blow themselves up was also ok, while a lot of people say that being grabbed and breaking out of the grab reset yours progress I found that to be untrue as it never affected my streak.

In short just a lot stricter than I initially thought.

I've just done it solo and I can definitively say that healing via medkits, punching off zombies that grab you, blowing up zombies via Suicider explosions, picking up items off dead zombies and switching to another modded weapon via the weapon wheel DOES NOT void it. Blowing up zombies via explosive canisters or them falling off the map in Arena A did void it (one of the two, just avoid both of them).

Just did this solo on the easy arena using only a single modified weapon. For me, when I tried switching weapons at all it reset my progress, even though every single weapon in my weapon wheel was modified. Medkits were okay, punching zombies off that grabbed me was okay (using LT and RT), and repairing the one weapon I was using was okay and necessary. I did not kick anyone and did not switch to any other weapon. To deal with suiciders, as others have mentioned, I just got close enough that they were triggered then ran away and they exploded.

I am still struggling with this. My partner and I are playing coop and i used only one wespon, did not change, repaired only it, did not kick or punch snd it never got beyond 1 for me. I presume this is the nature of the coop part so i will eventually try this on single player and see what happens.

Just got this achievement after multiple tries. What worked for me was this: I didn’t use my fury, and I made sure I started every wave with a new weapon. After testing it multiple times, at least for ME, that’s what reset my progress (sticking to one weapon) I also swapped between 2-3 weapons a wave, but always made sure I started the next wave with a new weapon (would repair them every wave and start new wave with whatever was still at 100%)

Good luck to everyone still going for this one!

I miss this game :(

Thanks to the many comments and hints here I can too confirm that the method works what someone mentioned above me. The arena doesn't matter. AntaraelDulacre.

Ok so this glitched on me solo too. I was on 8/10 on the easy arena and ran out of bullets. Changed to another modded weapon and when the wave finished it said 1/10 :@

Finally got this glitchy one down today.
After about a dozen tries today I noticed that changing weapons even to another nodded weapon reset the progress, and so did kicking so I kept repairing the same weapon through all the waves and was careful not to kick any zombies.
Tackling and med kits were fine to use, and the achievement was delayed by almost 5 minutes of the in-game achievement notice on my screen. I also did this on the easy map and had a few zombies fall off but that didn't effect it.
Tl;Dr- only use one weapon and repair and do not kick any zombies.
