How to unlock the Zipper achievement in RAGE 2 - Definitive Guide
Doom BFG 9000 worked.
Had a Bounty mission in Torn Plains that returned me to Stiltown.
Ran past the mutants, they stayed gathered below, almost directly under the zipline.
Once you have all that done head to the place called Stilltown in the region Torn Plains. Once you get there you need to make a manual save. Once you do that head into the base. Make your way all the way to the top while skipping all enemies. Once you reach the top you will find the zip-line. Use focus to find where they are hiding at from down below so you know where to fire the rocket while riding the zip-line. Now turn around and throw a couple grenades in the room. Then you will need to turn around and ride the zip-line. There will usually be a bunch in there so getting a kill is almost guaranteed. Make sure to fire rockets at some enemies on the way down the zip-line as well. Keep repeating this until you run out of grenades. Then make sure to craft as many as possible and use them all again. If there are no more enemies in the room where the zip-line is just throw them down below. Just make sure to use focus to know where they are. Once you run out of grenades again just load that manual save you made. You will spawn somewhere close by and have to drive there again. Once you get there just repeat the whole process. It will take several loads depending on how many you might already previously have and how lucky you get with the rockets and grenades. Once you get that 13th kill the achievement will pop.
The location is in the Twisting Canyons region where Vineland is located. It's in the northwest corner up on a cliff above an authority sentry. Once you get there just make a manual save, recommended to equip rocket launcher with quick lock upgrade, run through the checkpoint bridge area on the left side and jump up a couple ladders to the zipline. I recommend punching the rocket goon that is up there and then stand in front of the zipline, lock on to three enemies and fire, wait one second and then jump on the zipline (don't hold X) to slide down. Should only take a couple minutes with one or two save reloads.
The fancy bit about this achievement is you don't actually have to kill the 13 while on the zipline, they just have to die while you're on the zipline. If that was explained weird, you can throw/shoot the thing that will kill the enemy before you get on the zipline and it will still count as long as you're on the zipline when the enemy dies.
On that note, grenades and wingsticks are super useful. After you run out of those, the homing function of the rocket launcher, and then the assault rifle were the best bets for me. Also loading them up with grav-darts, and launching them after you're on the zipline could be very effective (not tested).
Skip to 12:43 for Zipper
Ziplines are placed at a majority of the bandit camp locations. You can use any weapon you like but the easiest weapon to use for this will be the Rocket Launcher, it's splash damage is the most effective way to get kills. Getting 13 naturally will not happen so it's best to be farmed. When you come across a good spot, save the game and get the zipline kills, reload, rinse and repeat but be careful not to clear the camp of enemies otherwise the farming spot will be empty.
Once you have access to the Kill and Destroy projects, focus on unlocking the Surprise Attack as this makes you deal 5x damage to an unaware enemy. Making a stealth zipline kill a lot easier. A great farming location is at the Hard Top Bandit Den located in the Twisting Canyons area of the game. Below is a video better detailing the farming method.

You will find ziplines at a majority of the bandit camp locations throughout the game. The best way to unlock this achievement is to find a zipline in a bandit camp, then making a save and then use the zipline while killing enemies nearby, i found the Rocket Launcher and it's splash damage the most effective method, but be sure not to kill everyone in sight. Then reload your save and you will be at the entrance to the location you were just in and can repeat your zipline kills, repeating as much as you need until the achievement unlocks.
You can start it in one location convenient for you, just restart the save.
