How to unlock the STACHE WHACKER achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 - Definitive Guide

This can be found on the 4th level of Dark Carnival (Barns).

Head through the level to just over the half way point.
Just before you go through the Farmyard, there will be a "Stache Whacker" attraction, walk up and press x and with your gun, shoot the little Moustachios as they pop up or melee them and continue the game on for a couple more games till you hit 42 points and the game will break and the achievment will pop up once you break the game at 42 points.

I also played this "Stache Whacker" game in survival mode before calling the horde when no zombies were present but once it got to 42 points and the bells went off the zombies came running.

For those who aren't sure, your whole team can surround the machine (2 in front, 1 on each side) and all melee as the Moustachios pop up. It was easy to get this way, and we all unlocked the acheivement at the same time.

Having just won this yesterday, a good way to get this is to play using the "Gib Fest" mutator, which gives you an M60 with unlimited ammo. Just hold down the trigger and it's easy to get.

i stumbled upon someone doing this in survival mode. he was slashing away for a while and then the game broke, sparks jumped, and the machine started to fizzle out. right as it did i whacked away at it once for good measure and the achievement popped for me! not sure if the random other guy got it as well but i did. not sure how repeatable that is but it certainly was an easy way to get it to pop. lucky me

On chapter 4 of Dark Carnival there will be a wack-a-mole machine that says Stache Whacker. Keep shooting it with your pistol or hitting it with a melee weapon until you get to 42. You will know it worked because the machine will break. Can easily be done with 2 people.

This can be found on the Barns level of Dark Carnival. Continue until you are roughly half way through the level. Just before you go through the Farmyard, there will be a "Stache Whacker" attraction, walk up and press x and with your gun, shoot or melee the little Moustachios. Continue the game until you hit 42 points and the game will stop and the achievement will pop up at 42 points. Here is a video to help:

Campaign: Dark Carnival
Level 4: The Barns

You will find this Whack-A-Mole type game before you leave the gaming area and head into the barns. If you have closed captioning on you will see when the game is close. Walk up to the machine and press to start the game, either using a gun or a melee weapon to hit the popping heads.

You will need to continue the game about three times to read the target score of 42. Just keep playing until the machine shorts out and breaks. The achievement will unlock once you break the game.
