How to unlock the Leadhead achievement in Defense Grid 2 - Definitive Guide

Gun towers are one of the two towers you start with.
One of the easiest ways I have found grind these types of achievements (if its for a tower type you don't use) would be to play level 12 on Practice on Easy (I believe you can play any level at any time you want, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
Even on Story Mode, you can essentially beat the level with just the 8 tower spots around the core housing, and maybe one tower blocking the quickest route.
I build 3 cannons along the side closest to the ship, a concussion on the single spot near this, a temporal on the spot across the road, and then at least one tesla among the other 3 spots.
When the level is nearing its end (1-2 waves left) just fill as many spaces as possible with the tower you are working on.
I was able to get at least 50 of the tower I was working on on any particular run (and that was on Story Mode - less resources)

You can do something similar on any level when you finish as long as you remember. This is just for if you are solely trying to grind out this achievement.

As with all other achievements in this game, this achievement will not unlock until you finish the level.

The easiest way to do this is to play the prologue mission(the 1st one). You can only use gun or inferno towers. There are 21 spots to place towers on the map(you can only use 20 as you need to leave one open for a path for the aliens). Just fill up the spots with gun towers, play the mission five times while doing this to get the achievement. Should take about 10 minutes total and also works for the Burn Baby Burn achievement

You will most likely obtain this trophy through natural play, but if you don’t, you can get this fast and easy by playing missions in training mode. Build as many boost towers as you can right off the bat and just let the mission run out. You don’t actually have to win the mission for the towers to count. That trophy itself won’t pop until the mission is over.

From the Tower Encyclopedia: The Gun tower is the all-purpose work horse of the Defense Grid arsenal. it is a capable weapon against all alien types and is the most cost effective of all of the towers. It is not as efficient against fast moving aliens as the Laser tower. It is not as effective as the Inferno tower versus large groups of swarmers. And lastly, it doesn't have the range of Cannon, Missile, and Meteor towers, but it gets the job done.

This achievement requires that you build 100 Gun towers across all of your games. Your particular playing style may mean that this unlocks naturally without any particular effort. However, if you don't tend to use Gun towers, or simply want it to unlock more promptly, you can play Chapter 19 in Practice mode on easy and play only Gun towers. You can easily place 100 towers on this map and unlock the achievement at the end of the game, win or lose.
