How to unlock the Get a life… achievement in Unreal Tournament 3 - Definitive Guide
UPDATE: Cleaned this up a bit with some more info and a more direct walkthrough.
There is a much faster method that won't require you to actually do this on 50 different days.
Each cycle ("day") takes about 12 minutes (assuming you can get 200 kills in 10 minutes), so in total this takes about 10 hours.
First of all I recommend installing the game to hard drive as this will reduce load times and also save your 360 constantly starting/stopping reading the disk as you return to dashboard each time.
1. Before you even start the game, go to your Dashboard. Go to System Settings > Console Settings > Clock > Time Zone. Scroll all the way to the top and select "GMT -12 Tokelau".
2. Now start the game (do this quickly by hitting the Guide button and selecting 'Play Unreal Tournament 3' at the bottom) and get your 200 kills "for the day" - see below for a fast method of getting 200 kills.
3. Once the game ends, "Disconnect" (press start and hit Y) to go back to the game's main menu and then return to your System Settings (do this quickly by hitting the Guide button, moving right to the Settings tab, then selecting 'System Settings'). Return to the Time Zone setting as before, but this time scroll all the way to the bottom and select "GMT +14 Kiribati".
4. Restart the game. Changing your timezone tricked the game into thinking it's now a different day. The game doesn't actually make sure you get the kills on 50 distinct days, it just checks whether the current date is different from the last time you played and decides that it is a "new" day.
5. Get another 200 kills. Once the game ends, again return to main menu before going back to Dashboard, then simply rinse and repeat from step 1.
As for getting the 200 kills each cycle, I personally recommend the following setup:
Multiplayer > Host Match
Deathmatch
Map: Rising Sun (some prefer Morbias Arena, I like to switch it up to prevent boredom)
Player Match with min players set to 1 and max/private set to 16
Bot Skill Level: Novice
Goal Score: 0
Time Limit: 10
Force Respawn: Yes
Hit X to set Mutators and add Super Berserk and Weapon Replacement by selecting them and hitting Y. Now configure Weapon Replacement by selecting it and hitting X and change every weapon to Enforcer. Hit A (not B) to go back to the settings menu so that the mutators save, then start the game and cut through bots with dual enforcers, easily getting 200 kills within 10 minutes.

Thank you for describing this in great detail. I have heard about this but wasn't sure how it worked. Now I know just what to do :-).
I will be trying this so I'll let people know if it works (and I'm sure it does) as to diffuse any confusion regarding this achievement.

Just a little note, you say in your solution that you can do it in Instant Action, this is incorrect. You should change this to Player Match.

Easiest way:
- Host an online game, 16 players, 16 private slots
- Deathmatch, map 'Morbias'
- Bots on easiest setting
- Kill Limit 0, Time Limit 10
- Mutators: Weapon Replacement, Super Berserk
Put all weapons to the enforcer, and play the game. Fairly easy to get Monster Kills and 25 kill streaks; usually get 200 kills total in 8 minutes. Wait for the round to finish, repeat again the next day!
Note: Redeemer in the middle spawns about 3 times. Make use if you like...!

I've been getting over 200 kills for over 50 different days but did not get the achievement....do I HAVE to be online in order to get it? I can host it just link it to the computer but not get online...think maybe that's why I didn't get the achiv?

I can confirm that you DO NOT have to finish the match for the kills to count. You must ensure that it gives the "saving" icon when you quit out of the match though. The achievement also popped in match for me. Nothing like waiting til the day of to finish off these achievements that I've had on my to-do list for 23 years... lol
Best of luck to anyone trying to finish up before the servers close down!

Multi console setup like this.
Host Match
Deathmatch
Morbias Arena (smallest with no health regen and only a supernuke)
Max Players 16
Private Slots, 16
Bot Skill Level Novice
Goal Score 0
Time Limit 10
Force Respawn On
Mutators:
Weapons Respawn
Weapon Replacement (all to the Enforcers)
Super Berserk
Do this setup till the servers close and somewhere you'll get the achievement. It will pop on your 200th kill on the 50th day. I personally got about 250 - 325 kills in the 10 minute time limit.
Once you finish a game for a day, wait for it to end then disconnect with Y at the end of the match and then make sure it says Saving... in the top right hand corner of the main menu,

What the hell does, "Do this setup till the end of time and somewhere you'll get the achievement", mean???

Over the course of working towards this achievement I have discovered another time saving route.
Load up Morbias in deathmatch as it is the perfect size for an all out brawl with 16 private bots
Set the score to zero and the time to ten minutes (You'll be done with the kill count in six to seven minutes.)
The key difference here is:
Switch all weapons to the enforcer except the rocket launcher which is turned into the impact hammer. For some reason the Ai throws caution to the wind in a hurry to secure the hammer and will often bunch up in an easily killable group.
Turn on speed freak or super berserk, turn off super pickups
Kill 201 bots for safeties sake and finish the match out before switching the date as usual.

2 Player Splitscreen Turbo controller/Rubberband Method
All credit goes to my good friend LAUGH1NGOCTOPUS.Menu
- Multiplayer
- Host Match
- CTF
- Facing Worlds
Server
- Player Match
- Max Player = 2
- Min Player = 0
- Private Slots = 2
Settings
- Splitscreen = Yes
- Bots = Disabled
- Goal Score = 50
- Time Limit = 60
- Force Respawn = Yes
Mutators
- Instagib
- Speed Freak
Strategy
Stand back-left behind the building at enemy spawn at an angle that gets both of the 2 possible spawns. Turbo RT/hold RT with rubberband until 201 kills (roughly 12-13 mins). Disconnect from match. Alternate time zone from -12 to +14 and vice versa. Rinse and repeat 50 times. Push start on the second controller for a live view of the score. Not the fastest way to do it but definitely least effort!
Hope this helps someone!
Get 200 kills in a day on 50 different days. This does not have to be done in a row.
I would advise playing loads of novice bot games until you achieve 200 kills and then have a rest until the next day (or whenever) and rinse and repeat. Do this in multiplayer matches. A good tip is not to play close to midnight and I would advise to play on Rising Sun with max bots on Deathmatch to 20 (10 times to 200). You could also work towards other achievements when doing this.
So for those who have the hardware to use 3 consoles, and have access to 3 gold accounts (or 2 via Home Console trick), I found a way that may be twice as fast.
Using 3 consoles, I had access to 5 players.
Console 1; secondary account from the Shared gold, 1 player, host of the lobby.
Console 2; secondary gold account, 2 players split-screen.
Console 3; main account going for the achievement, 2 players split-screen.
Using the account that's not split-screen, I created a CTF lobby in multiplayer, obviously a player match, not ranked;
Capture the Flag
Map: Facing Worlds
Maximum players doesn't matter
Bots Disabled
Goal Score: 1
Time Limit: 10
Force Respawn: Yes
For mutators I used Speed Freak, Instagib and Low grav.
once the lobby is up, join with the other secondary account with 2 players, then join with your main account. That should automatically put you in the 2 players team.
Just run to the enemy spawn, press X to use the translocator, with low grav, it basically flies across the map lol.
go behind the enemy base and stand opposite the enemies, and murder the 3 enemies over and over. Should take 5 minutes.
Once over 200, capture the flag to end the game, I didn't wait for the next match to start, I just pressed Y, went to menu, waited for the "Save" icon, then quit the game out completely.
Then change the time using the trick from the other guides, reboot the game, sign in your guest again and just do quick match to rejoin your still-running lobby.
You cut on lobby creation time and kill times. Took me about 4-5 hours.
