How to unlock the Having a Gas achievement in Dead Rising 2 - Definitive Guide

Original solution on 360 by "diesel680"

Note: The "special" zombies will only come out when playing through the main story, so you have to be on track to earn Ending A or Ending S by getting to at least 6-1 on the case files in order to earn this achievement.

You should have plenty of time to get this achievement after finishing case 7-3 but before completing The Facts. You should also have time during Overtime mode.

NOTE: Make sure that you beat Leon in the case Meet the Contestants so that you have a motorcycle garage where you can modify the motorcycles.
The motorcycle garage is right by the entrance to the Yucatan. There is a chainsaw by the maintenance room by Hot Excitorama on the Silver Strip (use the in-game map to find store names and locations). Take the chainsaw to the motorcycle garage and combine them to make the slice cycle.

You can then use the newly opened entrance to the maintenance tunnels in the top right corner of the silver strip, across from the motorcycle garage to get down there, where there are a large of amount of special zombies. Not all zombies were affected by the gas, so you will probably have to kill more than 1,000 zombies in order to kill 1,000 special zombies.

The slicecycle will break down after 1,000 zombie kills, so head back up to the Silver Strip once you have killed around 900 zombies. That way you won't be stuck down in the maintenance tunnels with the special, and thus dangerous zombies.

Make a new slicecycle and repeat until the achievement pops. Be sure to have a large supply of healing items in case you get into trouble and some melee weapons to protect yourself if your motorcycle breaks. The special zombies can still hurt you on your motorcycle with their vomit attacks, so watch your health.

This has to be done in one playthrough, but this method is safe and effective, and you can easily earn the Wrong kind of "Chopper" achievement at the same time.

You should finish with plenty of time to finish "The Facts", but if you don't, keep an old save and reload it. There's no reward attached to the achievement.

NOTES:

the Bikes magazine will give your Slicecycle 3X Durability.That means it will last for 3000 kills, and saving you the effort of making more slicecycles,. It is located in the Slot Ranch Casino, side room off of the northern most security room.

I think the guide is fine but there is no need to use the bike when you can use the vehicle and avoid damage. grab the guide in americana, use ninja gear, mix a few wine + wine for quick step and your at the truck in a second. Appreciate the guide, great idea to combine the two.

you can also use the road to the underground passage since the military blew it open. This means you never have to get off whichever vehicle you choose. Just drive down there, back up and drive to the vehicle, a new one will be waiting.

Would also like to mention that this game is notorious for randomly Crashing (myself, and the people I've played with) "freezing" especially going for the 72k kills. Save often when you can.

Just wanted to say, as the guide points out this has to be done in one playthrough. The achievement tracker will still show the progress from your last playthrough if you haven't unlocked the achievement yet, but you'll notice that the progress won't increase until you "catch up" and then pass the amount you killed in your last playthrough.

Refer to "Wrong Kind of “Chopper”" to achieve this without wasting too much precious time.

Note: You only have one shot at this once they appear. Failing to get this achievement will result in another near-full storyline playthrough to get to this point.

Starting in Case 6-2...

Fortune City does its best Silent Hill impression, flooding with a thick green gas that makes some of the zombies significantly more powerful and gives them a projectile vomit attack. They'll be distinctively different than the normal zombies, wearing no shirt and looking like their head is half caved in. Re-dead 1000 of these gassy corpses and the trophy is yours.

The easiest place to accomplish this is in case 7-2 when you're going to the underground lab. Here, there will be hundreds of gas zombies ignoring you and clumping up against the door to the lab. Wade in with your favorite weapon and rack up the kills. Better yet, bring a Tesla Ball down, and do some real damage. When you run out of zombies, climb up the ladder just west of the lab entrance to leave the area. Build another Tesla Ball and bring it down, and you can repeat this until you're done.

Of course, if you have the SUV key, you can just drive up and down the strip until it pops.
