You can get this just by playing the last wave in private

Set bots to fill
Select the last wave (12)
Pick which ever map you’re comfortable with or find easy
Complete this boss wave

I personally used Kait and upgraded her health and shotgun damage then tried out the wave and if I failed I restarted the wave and used the power from the previous attempt to upgrade her further, got it on the 3rd attempt

I had to select the last wave as 50 to get the achievement.

50? But there is only 12 waves in Frenzy

It's 12 waves, StuBeck doesn't even have the achievement yet.

I did what Arador suggested and it took me 5 retries. My kait is level 1 and I was a dummy and made some equipment with my initial money which was immediately destroyed instead of upgrading kait. I got around 1000-4000 points per round to use for upgrades

this might seem obvious, but you might want to add to change the game mode to horde frenzy, that is probably what confused StuBeck
