Dead Space 3

I farmed mine on Chapter 6. It will be near the end of the mission when you need to attach the fuel nozzle. Once attached, there will be four enemies that spawn inside the control room.

It's also a good place to farm your explosive kills for


Simply stasis them as they walk through the door, shoot their arm off to take the axe, then TK the axe into the Necromorph's leg. Firing at its leg is a sure kill, while firing it at their chest mainly depends on how much damage your TK can deal. So if your damage is fully upgraded, feel free to shoot their chest.

I also recommend upgrading the amount of damage that your stasis can deal. I had mine on the third slot at the time of farming this.

Remember to SAVE & EXIT. Do not hit restart checkpoint as that will reset what you just got.

I found the best place to farm for this achievement is the optional mission; Disposal Services in Chapter 14.

Right at the start of it you're bombarded by Axe necromorphs. You can continue on and actually do the mission as it has quite a few of them spread throughout, I found it less repetitive than farming the same area constantly, or you can simply do the first part, save & quit, rinse & repeat. .

Also, please note that the necromorphs in this mission are the black variety, so they still can take some damage on Casual, which is helpful if you're putting in too many shots.

Note: This can be done at the very beginning of Chapter 18. No need to play through some or all of a chapter, as required by some other solutions I've seen. Just load Chapter 18 and there you are.

I got this by grinding for it in chapter 18. Not much help if you're looking to earn it early, I know, but if you've gotten that far or have beaten the game, load Chapter 18 on Easy. Go forward and up the ramp, and head right. Before you get to the Bench, you'll reach a slight downward ramp with a Necromorph playing possum a little ways ahead. Go just far enough that he gets up, then start taking off his limbs. He'll drop axes. Stasis him, maybe weaken him a little bit more (you may need to try a few times to figure out the strategy that works best with your weapons), grab an axe with TK, and let him have it.

There will be another coming from ahead and on the right. If you accidentally kill the first Necromorh with guns, try using the axe on the one that's already tentacled. There will be one more coming up from behind you, which you can do the same thing on.

With luck, you can get one or two "axe" kills each time. If you don't, just restart the checkpoint. If you do, heal, stock up, do whatever, and then save/exit and continue from the checkpoint again.

It took me about an hour to get this, although I messed up a lot and probably had to restart the checkpoint more than usual.

After this part, if you go to the opposite end just before you exit through the doorway, there is another set. I didn't bother playing that far in for the purpose of grinding though.

Good luck!

I tried Wyndo's suggestion, and here's the video to illustrate. If after going through the game you still need to finish out the 30 fodder axe kills, this is a good method because it's at the very beginning of Chapter 18.

For some reason when I try to grab the axes they disappear. This one is kinda tricky but not impossible. Here is a video on how I got the achievement.
