Perfect Dark Zero

***"Lozzy7" sent me a message and said he could make a nice video for my solution and he did just that! His video below does a perfect job of describing my solution, as well as some slight variations of his own. Video credit goes out to him. Thanks Lozzy!***

My wingman, Thanatos, has a great guide if you are looking to be a bit more "active" with your character, but if you are looking for a time-saver, I have found a faster way AND you can use this to double-dip with the 1000 explosive kills achievement.

Make sure you are on "Killcount" as "TEAM Killcount" kills do not go towards this achievement.

This takes only one controller.

Game: Killcount
Level: Desert
Variant: Small
Weapons: Custom - slots 1-5 Viblade, slot 6 Plasma.
Bot Count: 15
Within Bot Options:
- Bot Difficulty: Agent
- Bot Personality: Judge (attack player with most kills - you)
Time Limit: Up to you, I used 60
Point Limit: None

I like the bots having viblades much better than the shields. For one, they are easier to kill and I don't think they kill each other as much as they did when they had shields - strange, I know.

NOTE: Remember this is a free-for-all and the bots will occasionally kill each other; even if their personality is set on "judge" and they are supposed to attack you with the most kills.

The video will show you were to go to pick up your Plasma Rifle. Once you get the Plasma Rifle, kill enough bots to gain the lead then lower your weapon and take off towards the rock by the truck as seen in the video below.

Again, if you have the lead, the bots should start coming towards you. I would wait until the bots clustered up in groups of 2-3 or more. This way you can take a bunch out at once and save your Plasma ammo. The bots will often back away from you and you can pick one or two off as they are running, but they will eventually come back if you don't get them. Being patient here and waiting for bots to cluster up will save you time in the long run!

With this setup I managed to finish all 1000 kills in under 1½ hours; averaging 140 kills per 10 min. *once I was on the rock.* Be sure to watch out for bots when you are getting your kills for the lead. You probably won't get 140 kills in the first 10 min. as it takes a little time to get the lead, but once you are on the rock you should average well over 100 kills per 10 min.

Added Note: 7/7/14
DefiantZero posted in the comments section that this solution "works even better for the Team Killcount one." Thanks, Defiant.

Again, great video by "Lozzy7" here. Be sure to check out his Youtube channel and TA account for other videos on CoD4, Crackdown, R6: Vegas 2, Just Cause, Red Dead, and Divinity 2. Solid video guides.

Following the same logic of lozzy7's 1000 Explosive Kills excellent Achievement Guide



create a match with the following setup:

Scenario: Killcount (Deathmatch)
Map: Desert, small variant
Custom weapon setup:
In slot 1 - 4 add shield
In slot 5 add the Viblade (I added the sword because I needed the 1000 Melee Kills achievement as well; add the most convenient for you and / or for the achievements you may need)
Bot setup:
Bot count: 14 (to allow your other player to join)
Difficulty: Agent
Personality: Bully

As soon as the match starts, get the Viblade with the account you want to get the achievement and wait there. Move the other one to the top of the stone that is between the palm trees and the tent (just as seen on lozzy7's video). Now start killing bots with the main account; after a little while, the player with the least kills will be the one you put on the rock so all the bots will be heading that way.

Wait near the rock and keep killing them (if you are going for the 1000 Melee Kills achievement too remember it doesn't matter if you kill them from behind, as far as you use the Viblade those kills will count towards that achievement).

I managed to get 898 kills during a 60 minutes match.

First go to Deathmatch and then Killcount.

The fastest way to do this achievement is to simply go to old town. Map variant on small. Then put it on 16 bot count. Go into the options and make all bots agents with vanilla personality. When you do this they are incredibly dumb and wont target you the whole time your trying to kill them.

Once that is done simply put it on whatever weapon choice your the most comfortable with. I perfer the S.Dragon simply because it has a large clip and 10 gernades you can launch and bounce around corners.

Lastly set the timer for 20 min. with 100 kills to win.

All that needs to be done after that is play ten times. you will easly get the 100 kills within the time limit. Also, if you have tried for any other achievements. (100-1000 melee/sniper/explosion) then all those kills have been added in already. After a couple hours (3 hours at most) you should have the achievment and a lot of fun doing it.
