How to unlock the 1000 Melee Kills achievement in Perfect Dark Zero - Definitive Guide

The little trick in my video should help you get 1000 melee kills in no time at all. You will need a second controller for this to work.

One important thing to note about this achievement is that meleeing someone in the back with standard weapons will not count toward this achievement as a melee kill. If you use a Viblade though, you can kill them from any angle and have it count as a melee kill.

Match setup:
Team Killcount (Deathmatch)
Map: Desert, small variant
Custom weapon setup:
In slot 1 - 4 add shield
In slot 5 add the Viblade
Bot setup:
Bot count: 14 (to allow your other player to join)
Difficulty: Agent
Bot teams: Humans vs Bots
Personality: Bully

Set the time / score limit to whatever suits you, just make sure you don't set the time limit to infinite (the game won't be able to end properly and the kills won't count toward the achievement.) 20 minutes with no score limit will get you over 500 kills.

I played with your config and only get 3 melee kills and 90 kills from behind on a match of 10 minutes... Are you sure that killing from behind counts toward this achievement?

Ok. Sorry, i proved your config with a new account with zero melee kills( i created a new one =] ) with a 15 points limit to win the match. I managed 15 kills from behind, 0 melee kills and guess what?, achievement popped... Thanks, i think i´ll get my achievemet pretty soon.

BTW, you rock bro!

I also want to note that you will need the 3rd May 2006 title update to be able to use the 'Bully' bot personality. It is a mandatory update though, so you will probably already have it. Hence why I don't feel it's necessary to add this info into the main solution.

Great solution. I found the best thing was to stand between the wall and 2 palm trees, wait for the computer to bunch up then just go in swinging. You might get an occasional smack from a shield but back off and they'll soon lose interest. This way you barely even have to look at the screen, and i still managed over 400 kills in 30 minutes

Works perfectly except for when you try the sniper, for some fucked up reason they just keep going for who ever they want, which is usually me, and thanks to how "good" this game is its almost impossible to hit a moving target, especially when they are kicking fuck out of you.....

Great solution. I was meleeing with the plasma gun from behind and it still gave the 10 melee kills achievement. So I believe it will work to get 1000.

Awesome. As of 12/4/16, this still works. Was able to get 471 in one round, 440 in the second, and just did a third with a score limit of 100 to save some time.

I have no idea how you or wvu76 managed 500 kills in 20 minutes but still a great solution. Best I could do with your settings was 250-275 kills in 20 minutes...

Works, but I do 110 kills/30 minutes. Not 500.

For me I worked towards a few different achievements whilst working on this one:

Setup a multiplayer game as follows:

Game type: Killcount
Map: Desert (Small)
Players: 16
Bots: 15 (Agent)
Time Limit: None
Score Limit: 100
Weapons: Make sure you have the sword.

With this I was getting my 100 kills in under 15 minutes average. Plus this was working towards my 1000 Killcount kills also. But will also net you your 10 & 100 Melee and your 10 and 100 Killcount Kills too!

An important setting you overlooked was that if you set the bots to 'Bully' personality mode they will almost completely ignore you as long as you have a higher score. It means that you can walk around freely stabbing people in the back without them taking any interest in you unless you engage them head on.

Set up local Killcount match:
Map = Desert
Variant = Small
Bots = 15 Agent
Personality = Judge
Custom Weapons = 5 Slots Flash Bangs, Last Slot Shield
Run straight to the Shield Spawn, Melee a couple bots from behind until you get a lead and then just back into a corner and spam the B Button. The bots will continually run into your shield.

I don't have my second controller right now, and this solution worked great, a lot more consistent than viblades. Thanks!

Perform 1000 melee kills. The quickest way to get this achievement, is to set up a match with the following settings:

Deathmatch
Mode: Killcount
Map: Desert
Map Size: Small
Bots: 15 (Agent/Bully)
Time Limit: None
Point Limit: 100
Weapons: Custom (Shields in five slots, Viblade in sixth)

Grab the Viblade as soon as possible. It will spawn on a balcony above one of the arches. Since the enemy AI is set to Bully, they will focus on the player with the least kills. If that's not you, they will be oblivious to your presence. Hit them in the back... Once you have reached the score limit, set up 9 more matches with the same settings until you have the 1000 melee kills. It will take a couple of hours. It can be a mix of online and offline.

If you own a second controller, you can get your kills even quicker. The mode needs to be switched to Team Killcount. Change the bot count to 14, to allow for your second controller. Set it to "Bots vs Humans". When the game begins, take your second controller around the outskirts of the map until you see a rock which you can climb on. If you are facing the Viblade spawn, it is 45 degree's to your right.

All the bots will swarm to the rock, but will be unable to hit the second player. This makes them easy prey.

Note: Melee kills from behind only count when using the Viblade. When using any other weapon, you must hit them from the front.

*You must complete the match for your achievement progress to register.
