How to unlock the Exterminator achievement in Second Extinction - Definitive Guide
To farm kills, I found a method that you can use pretty much infinitely. It may work in other sectors and in the campaign as well, but I have not tested it in other areas.
Choose Rosy as your character, and use her minigun or any weapon that you prefer. Load up an Expedition mission (preferably alone), and choose the Lata Plains sector and spawn in it's Insertion Point. At this spawn point, head North toward a frozen body of water. There is usually a Trap Assignment (if not there is usually a different one nearby). Complete this or any another Assignment, and you will be able to extract. Head back to the Spawn Point (which is now also the Extraction Point) and call for extraction. Stand on the platform and enemies will infinitely rush you. Keeping the Burrows that appear intact seems to add additional enemies. Set up the Static Barricade if you wish, and use the Positive Reinforcement ability when your health is low. The ability recharges with kills, so it should be on reserve quite frequently. You can resupply ammo there as needed. Simply extract when you are satisfied with your progress.
You can also wait to gather up enemies around the Barricade or use shock grenades to stun them and launch a supply drop on them if you wish to work on:
*EDIT 5/3/21*
There is a dynamic sector threat altering system which raises or lowers the threat level in any given sector. I'm assuming that my solution would still work in any sector. It would just be quicker to do an assignment near any spawn point to quicken the process. There would be stronger enemies in the higher threat sectors so I would suggest to do this in a low threat level sector.

I don't know why but I tracked this to see progression and if it actually works. It's ether delayed progression or killing enemies upon extraction just don't count towards the achievement.

Quit the game and load it back up. That fixed my achievement progress. Extraction kills count. upvote from me.

Achievement: Exterminator | Kill 6666 Enemies
Character: Rosy
Weapons: 1st Gun | Minigun, 2nd Gun | Doesn't Matter
Equipment:Cluster Grenade/Frag Grenade, Airstrike / Thumper [Unlocks at Level 5+], Health Stim
Insertion Point: Lata Plains
Once you drop down to Planetside go straight forward until there are some trees, once down there go back and pass the main camp going towards the frozen lake until you hear a dialogue mentioning Extraction Points, immediately call for extraction and go to the right side of the building where you can hide and kill masses of dinos. There is an ammo supply point that will give you unlimited ammo while you do this achievement.
Rosy's Special Ability + or E on PC is Positive Reinforcement. Once you use this ability you and your teammates will begin to heal very fast in a radius. You will be abusing this ability to its max. This ability replenishes when you hurt or kill an enemy and since this is what you will be doing for the next 6 hours you are basically invincible. You may run out of dinosaurs to kill or may have too many dead bodies that block you from killing any more, in that case, run towards the snow to your left and start killing there, once its full there go back to your spot and kill there, etc...
Here is a video that shows you what to do.
