How to unlock the Head Counselor achievement in Friday the 13th: The Game - Definitive Guide
This is a long one, best done with a partner who needs games played as Jason (or with a second console). As the counselor, build up plenty of CP so you can roll for perks. Once you get the "Preparedness" perk, equip it to any fast character. Start up a Private match with your friend or dummy account, then pull up your map with . Coordinate with Jason to determine where you are, have him morph to your location and kill you. This counts as one game. Repeat this process for many hours and you will eventually unlock this.

If anyone wants to attempt this with me, that would be great. 😂

If I leave once I'm dead to join a new game... Does that count?

OK so here's the run down on what I think is the best way to get these achievements:
Map: Crystal Lake Small- Has the shortest intro
Counselor: Vanessa/ Buggzy- Loudest/Fastest counselors
Jason: Part V Jason- Has the shortest outro, quickest weapon kill , and can run
Optional: Preparedness perk- Start with a map
Strategy: The counselor will spawn at one of six locations:
1. Lower Right
2. Upper Right/Car
3. Bathrooms
4. Archery Range
5. Boathouse
6. Garage
The counselor will tell Jason where they have spawned in at so he quickly teleport and kill you. It's best to memorize these locations so you always know where you spawn in at. But if you don't want to you still can pretty easily tell where you are via the icons on your mini map and your soundings or the map provided below.
Jason's job is relatively simple he is told where to teleport to and kills the counselor. Here are the quickest ways to kill a counselor:
Weapon (Shears): Last Breath
Grab: Choke
Environmental: Window Throw
Map: Crystal Lake Small- Has the shortest intro
Counselor: Vanessa/ Buggzy- Loudest/Fastest counselors
Jason: Part V Jason- Has the shortest outro, quickest weapon kill , and can run

TL//DR: Double box only, Main account hosts, Use map Crystal Lake Small, during loading cutscene use dummy account to scroll your friends list for your main account and press join game to quickly leave and join back to the main accounts game. Total time per match: roughly 2 mins 15 seconds, Aim to finish counselors first by not assigning the role of Jason to anyone
This method is based off of a comment and another solution i read (Credits and Thanks @Bobby Trippe) which helped me formulate an 'endgame' grinding plot. This is for those who just have to do the 1k counselor, 1k jason, and 1.3k kills/matches played. This is also for those who can double box the game on their own ONLY-you can do this with 2 people but 1 person won't get any progress, therefore making the other solutions your best bet.
The 'plan' itself: First, use Bobby's solution (read->glitch) to get the kills out of the way apparently this glitch is patched, but i still recommend going for bot kills (which takes a bit longer mind you) on the easiest settings, and then going for matches played. it goes faster that way imo
Solution for Gotta Kill Em All in Friday the 13th: The Game
Using his solution got me ~750 kills in maybe 4 hours, which is superb. I also capped off at 50 per match roughly, as afterwards Jason gets enraged which makes escaping somewhat longer, which is a slight waste of time that'll add up.
With that taken care of, all that is left are the 2000 total matches. First, go on the map Crystal Lake Small for the fastest loading time. From the game menu, hit start with both remotes (both xboxs) and then with the host, press cn_RB 4 times to go to the desired map. It is also worth noting that the account you want progress on NEEDS to be host, otherwise you won't get progress at all.
Once the match starts loading, pick up the dummy account's remote and wait for the ingame cutscene to start playing. Wait for it to play a bit (until the guy gets pulled off the deck into the water) and then go to your friends list, find your main account, and Press Join Game. This will automatically make you leave your current game with the dummy, go to the main menu, then go back to the hosts game. Then it will flash on screen 'you were kicked, Press cn_A " so simply press cn_A and boom, right back where you started. i would recommend Favouriting your main account so that it is right at the top of your friends list, making it take a little less time to scroll down the list.
The reason why i suggest letting the cutscene play in a bit is because from the main accounts POV, it still needs to load the rest of the cutscene, then finish the match and back out to the main menu. Backing out earlier in the cutscene doesn't actually save any time, and from personal experience it just made my game crash relatively often.
**Also worth noting here, that if, as the host, you assign the dummy account the role as Jason, when the account leaves and joins back they will no longer be assigned that role. Which is why i strongly suggest not assigning the role to anyone initially when grinding this: you will get progress on both the counselors and the Jason matches as the roles are assigned randomly. however once the jason matches are done the best strategy would ultimately be to use the dummy as jason and kill your main account.
Edit: after pressing start on both remotes, you can move the left stick to the left and it will highlight the assign Jason icon on the dummy account, so press A and voila you can get counselor progress. However, after a while it will, from the hosts eyes, say the 2nd account is still loading in, when in reality they are already in the lobby. Therefore, i still recommend going for the counselor matches first as the only way to fix it is to reset the game, which needlessly wastes time. Or, you could go to the main menu, Customize, Spawn Preferences, and then pick what you need to grind out (Pick Jason with the dummy to get counselor matches for the Main).
This is ideal for grinding out the achievement because the total time it took me to get 1 match done was 2 mins 14 sec roughly every time, which was a whole 20 seconds faster than the other method i was using (the other solutions) of getting the perk that gives the player a map upon starting the game up, teleporting there with Jason, and killing them. Doing this literally cuts out loading into the match at all, and it still gives progress for the main account.
By a quick numbers crunch, 2-3 entire extra matches can be played per hour at 26-27 per hour. This isn't exactly a massive timesaver, but in grand total it will shave off roughly 2-3 hours from boosting the achievement in comparison to going for the kills. Now, in terms of Jason, it might not be truly great as you still need to take the time to get all the kills, which ends up balancing out the matches more or less, but for counselors it is really worth while as all you need to do as a counselor is play the match through.
If anyone finds any optimizations for this, or has issues, please comment. Happy grinding ( :

Another guide to help quicken up your boosting or double boxing.
The best set up is both players are using Xbox series x consoles as this cuts out 30 seconds of load time at the start of the game.
But not essential.
As Charliethegamer stated in his solution, thanks for this.
Choose crystal lake small for quickest intro
Choose Jason 5 for quickest outtro
The quickest way to kill a councillor:
Change these settings:
•Councillor has half health.
•Jason has 2x throwing knife damage
•Jason Attack damage = X2
This makes it so you can 1 shot a counciller with the throwing knives, from a far.
All you have to do is spawn and throw.
Other settings to change but not essential are:
•Rage at start = ON
•Ability charge rate = X2
•Always visable on map = ON
Councillors can spawn almost everywhere on map.
What it means below:
Location on map(what we call it for for quickness)
Where Jason spawns(where councillor should be or if Jason needs to move a bit for kill)
•Underneath house on far left of map(left house)
Jason Spawns under the left house for kill(counciller should be right in front of you if spawned correctly)
•By left car(left car)
Jason spawns between car and garage for kill(you need to aim in front, aiming through bush for councillor behind it)
•Right side of boat shack by the water(shack)
Jason spawns on right side of shack by water for kill(councillor should be right in front if spawned correctly)
•By archery area(archery)
Jason spawns just left of archery logo for kill(councillor should be in front of Jason, but far away, aim above their head and throw)**sometimes Jason spawns just left of this, you need to move left a bit, the councillor is in front of you, you’ll be looking at councillor from side**
•Above toilets/baths(baths)
Jason spawns above toilets for kill(Jason spawns behind councillor)
•Underneath the very top house on right(top house)
Jason spawns under the house on the top right of map for kill(councillor will be in front of Jason, sometimes you have to move a bit due to trees being in the way)
•To the right of the middle car by the house and crossroads(crossroads)
Jason spawns between house and crossroads(he has to turn around 180’ for kill)
**if too annoying for you, have councillor run to the car, have Jason spawn there instead**
•On Burrell lane(Burrell 1)
Jason spawns below the house above burnell lane for kill(you need to strafe slightly left of spawn position and see councillor in front by trees.)
•By the 1st house below the Burrell lane(Burrell 2)
Jason spawns below the house which is underneath burnell lane for kill
•By the 2nd house under the Burrell lane words(Burrell 3)
Jason spawns below second house under Burrell lane for kill(councillor should be right in front of you when spawned)
((*Note* the map sometimes has three houses by Burrell lane, then use the above solution, other times, it only has two houses. On which case, use only Burrell 1 and 2 and ignore Burrell 3 since the third house is not there.))
We can get a game every 2mins, 10 games in 20 mins.
If using two Xbox series x, games can be done as quick as 1m 30-40 sec.
Thanks guys and good luck with the boosting.

We start searching for a quick game until you become the server host. After that, leave the console with the gamepad and go about your business. People will connect and the game will start without you. You will not be expelled for inactivity, and the server will work until the host leaves the game.
PS It is advisable to have a stable Internet so as not to be disconnected from PSN.

To boost faster, in a private game there is a gear under the map, the host clicks on it and selects 2x damage for everything and HP for half, then you can kill with one throw of a knife or a blow, which will save 10 hours in total
