How to unlock the Carrier Dropper achievement in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon - Definitive Guide

if you want to grind this, load up chapter two- one on normal. At the start two drop ships will spawn. Blow them up as quickly as possible and restart. If you have good enough weapons you should be able to get this in no time.

Just to add you will keep your kills when you select restart, but not your points/xp

So it saves that you destroyed them even if you restart?

Yup. Weapon pick ups save too if you restart. Points don't though.

Realized That Upon Hitting 8 With My First Armor. So Grinded The Last Few Out With A Pesticide Missile. Took Maybe 10-15 Min (Including Load Times) For 35-ish Gunships On This Level. Thumbs Up.

Also if you hit the third ship to appear on the right hand side (as in the player's right) with a pesticide nuke, you can shoot down all 4 ships at the same time with one shot and get 4 kills each time.

Awesome! JRIDE you should've listed this as a solution instead of a comment. You do only get 3 kills at a time instead of 4 however. But yeah this works great! Maximus's solution works too, it just takes longer.

Either would work great, but JRIDE's method was quicker for me.

Use the video JRIDE shared - one change, use the GoatShrike 110e to kill a few ants once you hit the green smoke, then use the pesticide rifle to 1 shot the 3 carriers once they spawn. Just casually shoot a few missiles until all ants are dead, or you see red dots appear on the right side of your map, turn, fire a pesticide rifle round. No need to worry about accidental suicide, and no waiting for energy that way.

Blue Radium's comment is great guidance. I followed that method, specifically shooting the carrier third from the right in it's rightmost opening. This brought down 4 carriers at a time and I was getting credit for all 4 kills. Went from 24 to 100 carriers in 20 mins tops.

Carriers are the aircrafts that stay stationary in the sky and drop down Gunships. Destroy them by shooting the 2-4 red deployment bays that the Gunships come from or by shooting the red circle in the rear of the ship. There are only about 10 carriers in the whole campaign so this will take some grinding. The red circle in the back of the ship is only vulnerable when the deployment bays are opened up. The are carriers like the own shown in the photo and there are larger ones that have 4 deployment bays (not shown in photo).

Grind Spot:

There are 2 carriers right at the beginning of Mission 1 in Chapter 2. You don't have to finish the mission to get credit for the kills. You can take out the two carriers, allow yourself to die and then just restart the level. Waiting to do this on normal with a Level 7 armor set is best as you'll shoot down the carriers very quickly.

Example of Carrier with weak spots open (left) and one that is closed (right):

There are only 8 carriers in the Campaign, so this will take a bit of grinding. There are a few levels in the Campaign with two carriers each, so if you haven't got this after getting all your other kill-related achievements you can load up Chapter 2, Mission 1 to finish this off.
