How to unlock the Tick Tock Ya Don't Stop achievement in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon - Definitive Guide
Doing it this way will allow you to work on your total waves played in survival achievement as well as spider kills and survival kills.
Defrosted Jay suggests "If you play as the battle class you can bring your shield up (LT) and turn on/ off the electric charge (Y) and that way you wont get over run and it saves aiming at the close ticks."
Ticks are the small annoying little enemies that chase you down and jump on your back. Shoot them before they get to you or you'll have to repeatedly press to get them off, only to still take damage. Accumulate a total of 5,000 tick kills across your playthroughs and modes. You earn these kills in both the story mode and survival mode.
Any of the maps in survival mode offer a great way to rack up kills. See Good Start for details on where certain enemies are located and in what map/wave. Waves 1 and 2 on the Cornerstone Survival map are perfect grind spots.
Ticks are found with the Bomber Spiders primarily, and will come out of its orange splooge shots. They are best killed with a quick-fire assault rifle, or the Battle Armor's lightning attack. If you don't have this after doing all other Campaign/Survival achievements, you can grind the remainder out on Chapter 2, Mission 5 which has two Bombers at the end with a ton of ticks coming out of them. Kill the two Mantises (Mantii?) and just let the Bombers keep spewing ticks. There are also about 50 on Map 1 (Cornerstone) in Survival Mode, Wave 2.
