How to unlock the Zombie Genocider achievement in Dead Rising - Definitive Guide

Great solution by Xv iLeGenDzZ vX toast

I used a slightly different method. There are 3 cars in the maintenance tunnels that you can use to maximize zombie deaths for this achievement. Here's my method:

(1) definitely grab some OJ and the horror 2 book as mentioned by Xv iLeGenDzZ vX
(2) head to the maintenance tunnel entrance which is accessed by going through the park
(3) get in the red convertible and enter the tunnels
(4) take an immediate right, then a left, then a right, then a left which will put you at the white car
(5) get in the white car and follow the attached map: right, left, right, left again which puts you at the white van
(6) get in the white van and drive the loop
(7) head up the ramp and get in the red convertible again

I averaged about 1200 kills per loop with this method and managed to have lots of fun despite the repetition. Your zombie mileage may vary clap

Helpful map here: http://imgur.com/sYZ93R2

I marked the maintenance tunnel key on the map as well ... if you want to save during your run at this achievement make sure you get the key then head up the stairs by the white car to put you back in Paradise Plaza right by the bathrooms for a quick save. When you re-load ... head down the stairs and start with the white car.

Used the method outlined with the visual aid provided and I achieved the required amount of kills with 31 hours to spare. Now working on the 24 hours spent indoors right now.

Positive up vote from me.

Personally I found that the truck would break down before getting back to the off ramp more often than not. I ended up doing a modified route where once I got the truck, I'd head straight to the off ramp and found that worked better. Ended up finishing with just under 40 hours to spare.

Great guide and tips here. +1.
My advice would be to definitely make a quick save every four or five laps once you get to the white car. Paradise Plaza is right there, just take the stairs up (after nabbing the maintenance key) and hit the bathroom right by the exit. I made sure to save every 5k - 6k kills just in case of a power outage or the console crashing.
Also, there are always some wasps you can grab where the van is, which will help you grab a good 50-100 kills right outside the meat processing plant.
Thanks again.

For trivia/lore, someone please share why that exact number of zombies. I forgot why, but maybe a zombie movie or other zombie game?
Also, must it be 53,000 zombies all on one game? Or is it cumulative across all deaths and start overs?
Also, should we try this early, or later after we've leveled up a lot? Which level? 10? 60?

WHEN is the best time to attempt this?
Another guide says from the very beginning of a new playthrough.
Then another guide says after you gain access to a 2nd Horror book. Is that safe?
The case files won't expire and end that playthrough, will they?

This was almost fun, especially compared to the snail-pace-SUV in 2.

It's probably best to progress thru Case 1-3 as opposed to just jumping into this on your first play through, that way you get some defensive moves to protect yourself with (+ extra space in the inventory and health)

You also get access to the 2nd Horror book at the end of Case 1-3 -- it's found in the "Sinister Read" shop of the "Entrance Plaza" (where Case 1-3 ends) -- top floor at the opposite side of where you first entered. Book is at the back and right, in the store.

Some player still will probably prefer to level up even higher than they get to at the end of Case 1-3, to make navigating the tunnels more pleasant.

OP is spot on. Each circuit gets you around 1200 kills. If you start from scratch, this will require 45 laps. Each lap is around 4min. So this will take you 3h to complete.

To answer E vee dub, the best time to attempt this is your very first playthrough. Grab the first horror book in Paradise Plaza, then continue the story through Case 1-3. Grab the second horror book in Entrance Plaza, then go back the way you came.

The reason to do it first with both books is you gain a massive level boost, and simply doing the story on a fresh file can be daunting. To this end, the case files will expire, and you'll get a bad ending, but you'll get the rewards for finishing a run with Zombie Genocider.

Zombie Genocider requires you to kill 53,594 zombies in one playthrough of the game. You are going to need around 3 hours to complete it.

To start the achievement start a fresh playthrough, and once you set foot in Paradise Plaza go to Bachman's Bookporium on the ground floor and pick up the Horror 2 book, which boosts PP from zombie kills by 25%. Then grab some Orange Juice from Colombian Roastmasters upstairs just in case you need to heal while obtaining the achievement.

Now head to the western side of Leisure Park, and look for a little alley to a parking lot (look on the map for a car symbol). In this parking lot you'll find a motorcycle and a red car. Here is where the method begins.

Drive the red car into the Maintenance Tunnels, go left and follow all the way to the end, killing as many zombies as possible. Try to hit propane tanks to maximise kills as well. Once you hit the dead end you will see a large group of zombies, so drive through them, then reverse into them, and repeat until the car breaks. Then get into the white truck and drive it back out to the parking lot, and repeat the process again. You should get 500-600 kills per trip.

Every 1,000 kills you will get 25,000 PP as well, which will level you up fast. I hit Level 30 during my attempt, starting from Level 1. Make sure to save frequently during this as well, as the Xbox has a habit of crashing.

Once you have the achievement, remember to get an ending to unlock one of the best weapons in the game, the Real Mega Buster. You should have a day left to play once you have the achievement (I had around 30 hours), so use the remaining time to get some other achievements, such as Gourmet, Clothes Horse and Karate Champ.

To add to any of these solutions, when you are heading towards the white car make sure to take a right where the maintenence area is just to spawn 300-400 zombies. If you back up and hit the canisters that blow up you will net the kills in about 5-10 seconds and doing my runs I was getting 1300 kills per 3-car cycle...... In 4 minutes laugh

Lastly, remember to save. My game crashed just past 25k kills.

Personally i would get the ceevo on your 1st play through. As it will level you up so you have more health & you can carry more items.

Play the game for 10-15mins till you can get access to the horror book from Bachman's Bookporium, its at the start pretty much when you can move around the plaza. Take the exit north of the store(Paradise Plaza exit) to bring you out onto the Leisure park.

From here walk to the direction of Wonderland Plaza but dont go in turn right an you will see a opening to take you to car 1(red car), follow The Guild of Awesome(vid cred) route.

Get the maintenance key to make a save every 5k kills(i used the doorway at car2/white car). Follow RKOJPL7 method how to get it(vid cred)

I had 33 game hours left. So keep playing going for none story ceevo's to drain down time to get an ending to keep your stats for a main game play through.

Refer to the "Zombie Killer" achievement for tips on how to get this. This achievement will take a long time and is best done in 72-hour mode. Don’t bother with the missions from the start of the game and head straight to the parking lot in Leisure Park if you want enough time.

Alternatively, you can use this method:

First of all, I advise you to be one of the first to get this trophy, ignore all tasks. After you receive it, a Real Mega Buster will appear in your security room in the new playthrough, which has 300 charges and kills zombies with 1 shot, and deals with psychopaths just as quickly.

But in order to fill such a huge number of zombies you need to open the doors to the Service Tunnel to make the game easier. Without a key you can get there through Central Park and the parking lot. As you entered the Service Tunnel, immediately head right, then left and right again, you will come to a dead end with a door, behind the door, there will be a key in the room.

Next, from the main entrance, head left to a dead end, there you will see a white van with its headlights on, this is the only working van. Get in it and drive along the route as shown in the video .

Also, in order to quickly level up, I advise you to take the book Horror 1 in the Paradise Plaza on the first floor of the bookstore and in the Main Hall (Entrance Plaza), on the second floor also in the Horror 2 bookstore. Once you collect them, feel free to go crush zombies, for killing 50 zombies you will receive 500 + 250 RR , and for killing 1,000 zombies 20,000 + 10,000 RR , so you will level up much faster.

The trophy is not difficult, but very tedious, it will take 3 hours of your time, start a new game for 72 hours, reset all the screensavers, run to the parking lot, under no circumstances answer Otis’s calls, it will ruin everything, go outside to the parking lot, get into the convertible and go straight into the tunnel on the left there we change to a truck, from there we go straight and to the left, straight, then to the right and straight, there is a sedan, we get in the same way and again to the parking lot.
