Dead Space

I'm leaving a short video showing the path I take to arrive at my grinding spot for the easy kills, but I recommend at least reading the list below to get an idea on how to prepare and where/when to find this spot.

There is nothing I love more than running through one of my all-time favourite games using one gun; the Plasma Cutter.

However, that creates a problem when there are several achievements for attaining 30 kills using every other weapon available to you, including the topic of this particular achievement the Line Gun. Not that they aren't fun to use, it's just a matter of pride for old fans(and another somewhat rare achievement!). I have found the easiest way to obtain every '30 kills with weapon' achievement in the game, beyond just normally using them throughout the campaign.

I didn't bother with grinding the kills out until after I finished my initial For Fun run, so I utilized the game's New Game+ mode that carries over your full arsenal of weapons and upgrades. What I did was I continued the story through NG until I reached Chapter 5, where the story takes you back to the Medical Deck to track down the source of a mysterious signal. On the way through the hub area of Medical, you will have a save point and a shop right before the best place to farm for your kills. I highly recommend saving a fair chunk of credits so you can purchase ammo when you arrive. I'll put together a short list of what to do in prep for the grind sequence.

1. Save the game. Seems obvious, but do this before buying anything.
2. If you don't have a ton of money to play with you would be better served buying ammo for a single gun at a time so you can reload the save and purchase ammo for your next grind.
3. Follow the story trail down the west hallway exit from the hub, and fight until you come across the first Wall Guardian encounter in the game. The gross wailing tentacle guy on the wall in the x-ray imaging room right next to the elevator platform.

Once you reach this point, as long as you have cleared any other enemies out beforehand, you can now stand near the Guardian enemy and DO NOT DIRECTLY ATTACK IT. Our target here is instead the tiny tentacle babies it pops out onto the floor that attack you with projectiles. Killing these counts as killing any other enemy type, so you can relatively safely farm them one after another and get your 30 kills quickly and because they are so weak and don't move around, be very efficient with your ammo reserves. If you are working on one gun at a time, just reload your save and start over from the top with the new weapon.
