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 cn_guide, 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!

Working on this myself and I think Muramasa is definitely the way to go. Strong damage for mobs and the block will up the damage even more. I’ve handled entire raptor squads solo with him even without a healer.

With that said, would love to hear tips on how to maximize the about of kills to get. Since outside of just only focusing on mobs, don’t think there’s much else besides waiting to see if savage gauntlet is a viable grinding option.

Barrage seems the easiest for me so far. You can literally just stand there and spam pretty powerful shots. Reminds me of junkrat in Overwatch. Very mindless and you don’t really need to focus. It would be a very simple podcast grind or maybe even watch something else while grinding it out on a second screen.

To be honest, you should not be worried about your dino kills/checking them consistently. Killing dinosaurs is the whole game! Just play, have fun, and get that satisfaction when it pops up out of the blue! Focusing too much on how many kills you get and estimating how many long hours you would have to play will just make the game a chore. (But of course, the repetitiveness of the game, in general, isn't helping much either!) Having gotten 38/39 of the achievements in 3 days of the game's existence, and I'm pooped!

What a silly comment. When you finish all the other achievements around 20k-30k kills, people want to know the fastest route to the next 70k. It becomes a grind at that point.

@Spicy Eggroll1 Why comment this on an achievement for getting the 100k kills? People are going to this page to see what the most efficient way to go about getting it done. If you want to just play the game like normal then just go do that instead of preaching how others should go about getting this achievement.

No way I'm doing this right now. 100% sure that at some point during the game's lifespan there will be a game mode which will make this a piece of cake. All the assets are already there, maybe a (temporary) game mode where you fight mostly these massive raptor hordes that appear in story missions.

If team comp forces you to healer, Nimbus is a great alternative her [RB] Bullet Rain can kill a ton of small dinos and her upgrades make her a pretty good DPS.

Also, the new mode coming on the 29th is very PvE heavy, and should make this easier.

Adding on to that....if you get bored of Barrage and don't want to run a healer, run a Tank and grab Murasame. He is a dino killing machine when he's maxed out. My setup is:

M01- Radiance Lv. 5
M - Decimation Lv. 5
M - Tiger Strafe Lv. 5

With this loadout, I can facetank a ton of damage and jump right into a horde of dinos to farm kills like crazy. Once he gets going he is absolutely cracked.

Having played Savage Gauntlet twice, I don't think it will help alot. At least this one is quite unterwhelming in terms of Dinosaur density. You could grab a few hundred at the beginning if your team lets you. Maybe you could boost it with 4 other people, killing the raptors, jumping off the map and restarting the wave, but I'm not sure if this would be worth it.

Dammit, and here I thought SG would relieve some of the grind. I was hoping there would be a lot more carnage modules, for example.
Well, back to normal Dino Survival and minding my own business, I guess. Some snowflakes who take the game way too seriously will curse again but that's what the mute button is for, right ;)

On a good match, 900 kills. On a bad one... 400 kills.

Use AoE Exos... it is going to be a LONG grind regardless. Even at 900 kills a match, it will take 120 matches at 10-15min each.

Which Savage Gauntlets?
Last wk was Airport and even as Barrage, going in hard to each mass spawn, id get anywhere between 500-760, maybe once got 1000 when at the middle point, we had the mass spawn 3 times, group died to snipers, then that section restarted.
That run took 9mins (maybe max allowed), my quickest was 6m (top 10%).

Exosuit: Murasame
• Rig: aid
• Modules: M01 - Radiance, M Steadfast, Hi-Xol compression modules
• Wargame: any
• Cross-Platform Play: Off.
• Mode: PvE.

My build incase people play Murasame. But if you can coordinate with a healer you can aggro & varja counter if massive hordes of small dinos and there's an innate satisfaction element seeing them fly into the air and die knowing you're one step closer to the kills you need
0
0
By BioMegaBear on 02 Dec 2023 18:53
Also you want to hear the words "research facility" and "Repeat scenario" This mean you might get a Magnum mission which has a swam attack that if you coordinate can be 1000+ maybe 2000 at the end of the mission but be sure to have ground healer. Another one of the 2 or 3 Durban missions when you're sent to a blue room with hordes of dino's coming for you. That is an easy 1000-2000 if you stay alive and using your most damaging abilities. Another suggestion is each mission you should be able to kill 300ish dinosaurs so 3 match minimum per day if you have a small amount of free time this would be great for that and over time you will reach it.

Popped 2k earlier than xbox tracking and 5k earlier than in game so I want to say quitting still counts the kills.

Omega hammer end event is probably the fastest method if you ignore the objective but I only saw that show up once vs bots in a pvp lobby

My stat tracker has seem to have gone under the freeze effect. It says I'm at 50,677 kills while my in game tracker under highlights says I have 51,923.

I've seen the count can be off by a little bit. Do you think the achievement will pop once I hit 100,000 kills in the in game tracker? Or do you think my stat page from xbox is what will activate the pop once that tracker reaches 100,000.

Please let me know your thoughts before I continue with this game. Thank you.

@nicrotix, I suppose you're playing random mode and not DPS only. I was kinda as the same point as you. Play PVE / DPS only if you want to go faster.
Concerning Murasame, he is very good for "high level missions". You can check levels of people whenever by pressing left on d-pad then A. If you got someone below level 10 in your game the mission will probably be pretty easy and will not really fit murasame and his counter-attack (Unless your teammates are bad, ofc).

The Ruin Savage Gauntlet is a really good way to get kills. I think it's the fastest right now. As of writing this, the Ruins SG is currently running. I use Murasame as my frame and I get atleast 1k kills every run. Just use his counter stance. Takes about 10 mins for a run.

By IDarK VorteXX on 11 Aug 2023 17:20
I can definitely agree that the Murasame & counter combo is great for grinding this out on Ruins SG.
Averaging about 800-1,000 kills per game depending on how the team performs.

Players leaving kinda helps, let’s you just focus on getting kills.

10 mins a game, 1,000 kills. Not bad

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. dance

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. toast

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.

For the Rig use the self heal. Most of the time healers are either useless or won't bother healing you if you go off by yourself or into an entire horde. I drop the heal and then go to town. More survivability = more kills.

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.
