How to unlock the Cretaceous Eradicator achievement in Exoprimal - Definitive Guide
Main Goal
The main goal here is pretty obvious, you need to kill 100,000 dinosaurs of any type.This will most likely be your last achievement in this game.
Tracking
While this isn’t tracked within the game (as far as I can see), your own personal Xbox stats do track them and they update at the end of every match.To find them, press , scroll along to the achievement section and hit the button called “stats”.
After around 14 hours of play, I’m at nearly 11,000 Dino kills, so assume this will take between 80 and 120 hours of prime dinosaur killing to unlock.
This is entirely depending on your chosen class and your skill with the game.
Dino kills only count if you complete a game.
If you quit early or disconnect during a game, you will not be credited with the kills from that match.
Priority
When it comes to kills, I recommend not caring when you start the game. Focus on getting 1000 kills with each of the Assault class exo-suits; Deadeye, Zephyr, Barrage and Vigilant, as these all have associated achievements. You’ll also want to get all the other suit achievements, as you passively kill dinos.With that done, focus on getting 10 suits to level 10 and then the 50 modules.
When that’s done, then you can focus on this achievement.
Killing Tips
So far I’ve found no easy ways to do this.As you progress through the game, you’ll finish in a handful of boss mission, which throw essentially endless numbers of dinos at you. These are good spots for grinding with whatever suit you’re most adept with.
It does seem as though you have to be the one who gets killing blow. I found I was averaging 200 kills per regular match as a low damage support character like Witchdoctor, whereas my best character Murasame, was averaging 500 kills.
I personally found all the Assault class exosuits a little underwhelming and too easy to be killed, but that’s just my preference.
Another excellent choice is Barrage using his level 5 Skip Chip for extra ammo, splash damage and reload level 5. Thanks to Noth for this suggestion.
At the expense of your team, when the target dinos you’re meant to be taking aren’t raptors, but raptors keep spawning, keep focusing them rather than the target dino. While you might end up losing the match, you’ll kill more.
I also found that when selecting a game, choose the PvE option. You get less XP at the end, but you do seem to get to face more dinos in the final challenge than if you were doing PvP.
Future Content
As of release, the solution here has the best tips.That said, more content will be added to the game over time, including the Savage Gauntlet PvE game mode, released on 28th July 2023. This mode will likely make the grind a little easier, as well as future updates.
If anyone else find any extra info or tips, let me know in the comments below and I’ll add them here (especially if you downvote this)

Murasame is good for "late missions". His DPS is mostly tied to his counter and it's hard to use against basics raptors.
If I have one advice : Disable the cross-platform.
It's shameful but playing on fingerless servers is ridiculously efficient.
I did around 160 games with cross-platform with ~300 kills per game. Without cross-platform I'm around 500, even with PVP.
If I have to guess. PVE only + cross-platform OFF + DPS class only, I honestly think you can have your 100k kills in less than 80 hours. Maybe even around 60 hours.

Custom games are the best way forward with this, we were getting anywhere from 6,000 - 9,000 kills per hour.
Get a friend, go to Wargame - Custom Match - Quick Match - uncheck all game modes apart from OMEGA Charge, as for map... We were using Volcanic Base, but chances are there is a better one out there as the host seems to get less kills on their side of the map, we were just too lazy to test them all.
We used Barrage with damage/splash radius upgrades for the grenade (RT) and just went to town, ignore the objective.
You do need to pick the hammer up for spawns to start. The hammer is useful as a weapon, but if you can get high ground and not get attacked, it's usually more beneficial to stay out of the way. Focus on the couple of bigger dinosaurs first so more raptors spawn and no more big dinosaurs will.
Still a bit of a grind, but so much better than it used to be, good luck!

The previous guide is very good and above all provides excellent information, so I will only give some tips for people who want to get this achievement as quickly as possible. It should be clarified that this guide is written with the modes/exosuits available at this time (1.0.1) and any comments or corrections feel free to do so.
After testing all the exosuits I found that the most effective are Barrage and Murasame, this second one has a high life and an easy accumulation of dinosaurs, but I found that Barrage is more effective because all his abilities do area damage and besides that he has the burn effect where we can cover much more enemies. The configuration I used with this one was:
• Exosuit: Barrage.
• Rig: Cannon (doesn't matter so much).
• Modules: B01 - Blast Enhancer, B - Lingering Threat and B - Flare Dodge (to level 5 as soon as possible for the three modules).
• Wargame: Dino Survival.
• Cross-Platform Play: Off.
• Mode: PvE.
First, focus on the large groups of small/medium dinosaurs, then on flying dinosaurs, and finally on large dinosaurs. On targets that you have to defend or are in a specific area, don't be afraid to go out of the area to take advantage of eliminating dinosaurs.
With all this setup I finished in about 12 minutes, which gave me a total of 700 - 900 dinosaurs per game; although this depends a lot on randomness, equipment and game type.
Everything written above is based on my experience after almost 80 hours of gameplay (something I would have liked to know from the beginning because it would have certainly saved me several hours).
I hope it is helpful and an apology for the spelling mistakes; English is not my native language. Happy hunting.

Stats for how long it took me (I went for the grind message to try and do this as fast as possible)
Suit: Barrage
- Blasé Enhancer Lv. 5
- Lingering Thread Lv. 5
- Flarw Dodge Lv. 5 (IMO, I think the reload dodge would be better here)
70 Hours
Account Level: 129
Matches Played: 214
PVE Only (I never played PvP unless it was a accident)
Make sure you focus on Dinosaurs and don’t bother staying in a match if it’s the Durban Boss Fight or there is already 2 or more barrages in there

After trying out this load out, this definitely seems to be the fastest way to grind.
With that said, it can still be a bit random due to either rounds or your team composition.
So if you’re not getting as many kills as they’re saying, you just got a bad draw on either or both of those factors.
Matches that draw the most kills typically have you as the only major AoE Exosuit and end with the huge raptor swarm. So if there’s already 2 barrages and none of them are switching, probably best to just leave that match.

The above guides have great tips and builds to assist with this achievement. Simply adding that now as of today's update, you can create your own private matches for this. Choosing matches such as the vtol protect missions or pterodactyl swarm missions, I was able to get 1000 kills after 2 matches doin this. Unfortunately you can not play solo but getting in a match with one other booster will help rack up your kills tremendously.

There is no grand strategy for this one. After a good 10-20 games, you’ll have found a character or two that you prefer to deal damage with; now strap in for the long haul. It should take you a good 20 to 30 games for this one. One of the best strategies for racking up kills is to focus on raptor crowds. Murasame is great, with his defensive melee slashes, also Deadeye and Krieger, for sheer firepower and explosive damage.
New way to grind kills u get like 2000 or 3000 every single time if u play mission with magnum after u finish u teleport to next part with hammer don’t break the glass just keep getting kills but u need a friend to do it in customs
