How to unlock the First Loser achievement in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - Definitive Guide
FYI: To set your Dieselkraftwerk to the “detonation setting” DocHappyHour refers to, make sure the icon in the lower righthand corner of your screen shows a gasoline canister. I recommend you start the course with at least 19 shots in your Dieselkraftwerk. Run through the Killhouse course, tag all “enemies” by pressing the right trigger, and finish the course. Then, when you begin a second run of the Killhouse course, press the left trigger to detonate all the tags you set in your first run of the course. You’ll hear detonations going off throughout the course—which is good! Then run like hell through the course, and you should beat the second best time and get the achievement.
Thanks DocHappyHour! I think I’ll have an extra margarita today on Cinco de Mayo to toast your brilliant solution!
There were 21 targets by my count and only 20 ammo for the Dieselkraftwerk but there were two in the middle of the course right next to each other that I tagged in the middle and it worked out fine.
Now if you are like me and waited till you beat the game to clean up achievements like this and are wondering why you aren't unlocking this while scoring under the time other guides have stated, I have the answer.
After multiple attempts around 1:00 I looked at the top killhouse times and noticed that Anya had a 2nd place time of 0:48. So when the Killhouse is first unlocked the time to beat may very well be 1:29, but apparently that 2nd place time gets less, at least after you beat the game(can't confirm if it changes each time you play missions and come back to the Evas). This makes sense seeing as while you are off killing Nazis everyone else is hanging out in this claustrophobic ship and the Killhouse is probably the most entertaining thing to do.
To reiterate, you must get the 2nd best time in the Killhouse to unlock this achievement, not necessarily beat a time of 1:29 as the 2nd place time changes as you progress to the end of the game. So apparently go for this achievement as early as possible in the game as it apparently gets harder if you wait.
The Killhouse can be found on Eva's Hammers and is accessible at any point after completing the second mission of the game. In order to obtain this achievement, you will need to complete the entire course under 1:29. For every target you miss, you will be penalized with additional time at the end.
Use whichever weapon you feel most comfortable with during your run, and be sure to take your time to pick off targets. While there may seem like a need to rush, you really don't have to do so. Once you make it to the end of the course, interact with the monitor that is displaying your time to clock out. If you completed the course under the allotted time, the achievement will unlock.

PS There are 22 targets in total on the obstacle, choose any 20 and place shells on them if you have 20 shots left. We shoot the remaining two with our favorite weapons. If you have less than 20 shells, then we improvise, placing shells on targets on which you spend more time.
A video has appeared online showing how to overtake Shoshana on the list and become first (she passed the line in 18 seconds). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Jvc2J6uVbY
