How to unlock the Take Down the Horde achievement in Outbreak: Epidemic - Definitive Guide

Clear any scenario in Onslaught Mode. To make it easy on yourself, do the following:
- Character: Renault
- Class: Lumberjack
- Mode: Onslaught
- Difficulty: Easy
Leave rest of the options as it is and start.

Go towards the lamp posts and keep going forward. Don't bother picking up anything. You will pass by some tires on fire and then a van(?) slightly to your left. Go to the right of the van towards green healing item (pain killer). Stand there with your back to the corner. Equip the combat knife. Press LT to aim and just keep hitting RT to swing. If you have a turbo pad, it would be perfect.

You need to survive and kill 65 enemies in this scenario to survive the onslaught. You can see how many kills you currently have by pressing cn_back.

Great strategy. Got this with no issues at all. Didn't have to use any handgun at all.

Perfect strat. Sat in the corner swiping away with the knife. Stayed in place for all 65 enemies, no turbo controller needed.

Should have read this first, worked first time. I used knife as the attacks were faster. Back yourself into the corner and hack away. Health didn’t drop at all.

I should say those 2 fails were from following the walkthrough. As soon as i camped in the corner mentioned in this guide, got it first try. Cheers

I didn't attempt it with the knife, as I managed to find the axe early on as I made my way to the spot. Never a risk of dying as far as I could tell. This is the way.

Start a new game with the following settings 
 
  • Character: Renault 
  • Class: Lumberjack 
  • Onslaught Mode 
  • Gas Station Scenario (1/9) 
  • Easy Difficulty 
  • Realism Mode 
The Lumberjack class gives Renault the ability to heal himself whilst doing massive melee damage, so use your knife and just run arounde stabbing every zombie you find. On easy difficulty it should be nearly impossible to die. The scenario ends once you have killed 65 enemies. During the scenario you'll also come across the three special enemy types which will get you the following achievements unavoidably by the time you finish the scenario; They're Hunting You... (100G), Enforcing the Apocalypse (150G), and Too Strong For You (150G).

Editor's Note: With two stacks of this game available (this version and the Xbox Series X|S Definitive Edition), I was able to use the starting knife first try on this version, but kept dying on the XSX|S version. If you find yourself dying while using the Hunting Knife trying for this achievement, instead, as soon as the scenario starts, right straight ahead to the other end of the map. You'll reach the actual gas station building. You can't go inside, but on the ground in front of the door a bit is a sledgehammer. Pick it up and equip it. It's much slower than the knife, but far stronger AND it hits multiple enemies with a single swing. I did it first try with the sledgehammer.
