How to unlock the THE QUICK AND THE DEAD achievement in Left 4 Dead 2 - Definitive Guide
Find some adrenaline, and then find a ledge. Have the second person walk off the ledge, then have the first use the adrenaline and pick them up. Have the second person walk off the ledge again and repeat the process until the adrenaline wears off, then maybe one more time, just in case you can get one off the tail end of the adrenaline.
You can do this 3 to 5 times per adrenaline shot if you do it quickly enough and they will all count for the achievement.
EDIT: This still works as of Aug 30, 2014, thanks BRARROW for letting me know.
EDIT: Just did this with my girlfriend, she got 5 revives in one shot, so it is possible t get up to 5 revives with one shot if you do it quick enough.
I found this out on the Hard Rain campaign, a teammate got hit to the dock by the tank, and I used the adrenaline shot to see if it would count, I had him walk off the dock 2 more times, and checked the achievement progress and found out all 3 revives had counted.
EDIT: It has pointed out to me that doing this on Dead Centre Survival mode is a good place to go as there are several adrenaline shots you can use. When doing it here have both of your human players grab adrenaline so when one shot wears off you could just have the other one given to you.
Thanks splicegraph for the tip
EDIT: Some people reported having trouble getting this, and found out that you have to do this by walking off the glass paneled walkways, rather than the stairs. (forget who said that, but it was before the site went down, sorry I can't attribute this tip to whoever said that).
EDIT: This tip is courtesy of DragonYen. Thanks for the tip, apparantly your comment was restored, so I can finally accredit you with the tip you deserve :)
EDIT: It has been pointed out that the AI sometimes will interfere with you reviving the teammates. Simply grab the auto shotgun in the beginning and down one person, rather than reload just grab the same one and it should be fully reloaded for you. You should be able to down them before the fully heal, if not you'll have to do it again. While the second AI is picking that person up, shoot them down. When they are both incapped you will be able to do this without any interferrence.

This was the way I found to be most reliable to get both achievements quickly. Any questions send me a message via xbox live. GT LBCeroy
However! You can do this quite quickly if you'd like. Pick The Park in the Parish campaign and run towards the trailer that you have to enter before the crescendo. There should be adrenaline in there, but if you pick some up along the way, that will obviously work as well.
So, you have adrenaline, you're in that trailer, and you haven't stepped outside to start the crescendo. Switch to expert and kill one of the bots, making sure not to down the other two. You can soften them up a bit, but you can not down them even once or reviving them will not count until you restart.
Now open the door, step outside to start the alarm, and step right back in. Let the zombies down one of them, the other bot will try to pick him up, and in doing so, the zombies will down him as well (remember, you're on expert, so this takes no time). Switch to easy if you like, clear the room as much as possible, use your adrenaline, and pick them both up.
Repeat as needed, and achievement unlocked.
1. Have 4 Real players; Be it You and 3 Guests/ You & Friends, Or any mixture :)
2. Load Survival
- Dead Centre, Mall Atrium
3. Take 1 Dummy Acc and take them all the way to the last floor of the stairs, Make them fall off slightly so they start hanging off, NOT DIE.
3. Give yourself Adrenaline and revive them, quickly make you dummy fall off and your main revive them again and repeat.
4. You roughly get 4 revives with 1 shot of adrenaline
Simples :)
Kill off 1 of the unneeded survivors leaving only 2. On those towers in the bleachers there should be a defibrillator on each one (2 total) and MOST OF THE TIME, not always, 4 speed shots where you turn the music on in that little booth on the stage. Just blast your team till they have little life and finish them off with that infected controller. Let one die before they go get heath on their own and leave one on the ground bleeding. You can keep reviving the same survivor with the speed boost all 4 times but you can only use one defib per survivor.
So when your done with all the speed boosts let that 2nd survivor die and defib both of them. Sounds like a lot of work but as soon as you do it the first time the second time and third are a breeze, it's the easiest way I've found so far. If you have problems with the survivors healing, just injure yourself in the beginning real bad and use them all right away yourself. It should only take 3 games total for the speed boosts, and 5 for the defibs.
If you have a question about this guide please ask, or if I left something out that's important let me know.
You can find adrenaline near where most medical supplies spawn. Sometimes they are randomly spread through the levels or inside the saferoom.
Once you have found an adrenaline shot hold onto it until one of the other survivors needs help. Press to equip the adrenaline and press to use it. Once you are under the effects of adrenaline hold down near the survivor that needs help.
Repeat this 10 times for the achievement to unlock.
Survival Technique:
Mode: Survival
Level: Dead Center Atrium
Players: 2 (two controllers/players)
Once you load the level pick up the adrenaline/defibrillator depending on the achievement you want to do. Kill the AI as they may cause you to miss out on reviving your team mate. Take the second controller or other player and throw them off the higher level of the mall complex. Run over to them and revive/defibrillate them. Once you have done this press and restart the round. Repeat this until you have both achievements.
In survival mode, select the campaign - Extinct Center, level: Atrium.
We select Survivors on both joysticks.
At the beginning of the game, we kill the bots so as not to interfere, then grab the adrenaline and both players go up to the third floor.
As soon as you rise, take the second joystick and approach the edge of the stairs and, as it were, throw yourself off, you will not fall, but simply hang on the edge.
Next, we take the first joystick and inject ourselves with a syringe with adrenaline and under the influence of adrenaline, we raise the second player, after he was raised, we drop the second player again and raise him again.
You need to do it quickly until the adrenaline runs out.
As soon as the adrenaline ends, we look for the second syringe and repeat everything again until the achievement opens. You need to raise a player 10 times.
