Ok I just found a sweet spot to do this. Load up a Solo game on Episode Three - The Keep, Cadet difficulty with four players worth of Zombies. As soon as you start run forward then to the left to a dead end, There is the Preacher weapon leaning up against the wooden doors - GRAB IT. Now proceed about 1 minute through the level until you come to the Snipers and Summoners, Kill the First Sniper then let the Summoners spawn the Zombies. They will spawn more Zombies than I've seen anywhere in this game and the best part is when you kill them they will get regenerated again and again and again lol. When you run out of ammo reload checkpoint and rinse and repeat. I went from 6000 to 8000 in about an hour maybe slightly less. It's best to leave this achievement as your very last for obvious reasons. As Nesmaster in the above solution stated, Explosives don't count but may do when a patch is released to also fix the broken Gold bar collectable achievement. This is also a great spot for the 100 Sniper,25 Summoner, 20 explosive AND the 5000 Sniper shot achievement!!! Hope this helps with the final grind!!
EDIT: At the time the solution was wrote it was 14:55pm at 8000, Got my achievement at 15:37!!!
EDIT AGAIN: Ehrenfried has kindly added some math to the solution:
If you play the campaign once you will end up with around 3000 limbs shot off.
You can force it by shooting on their arms and legs and heads! It all counts!
[I found out that headshots counts as a limb!]
When you play every horde mode map to wave 10 for the achievement
assuming you will need two tries for each map and you play with a partner,
you can count roughly 2000 limbs which makes it around 5000 overall.
(There is a Preacher in every map, us it)
And with the new info back to the math part:
We have 5 limbs per zombie (2 arms, 2 legs, 1 head)
If you round up 6 zombies with this method here you will get 30 limbs per shot
(sometimes it hits more zombies sometimes less)
The Preacher has 16 shots which makes 30*16 = 480 limbs shot off for one complete try.
5000: 480 = ~10, which means you will need 10 tries with this method to get 5000 limbs.
Let's say you are fond with how to train the zombies in "The Keep" after 2 or 3 tries
we can say you will need 5 minutes (First get rid of all the snipers!) per try.
so we can safely say (10 tries * 5 minutes) = ~1 hour
But please remember this is just a statisic based on my observations,
and i played with a friend and we set the enemy to "1 player".
So please don't vote negative if you don't get the achievement after this math.

Update
Mobius Evalon has discovered another tip to help you get this a little faster!
Standing back about 30-60ft away from the Hordes with The Preacher allows the gun to reach its full potential by getting maximum limbs!

Yep this works perfectly.
And you can calculate how many times you need to do this to get the achievement.
I observed that with one Preachershot you kill around 5-10 zombies when you train them to a circle like horde.
For the limb-loss it counts 4 limbs per zombie (2 arm, 2 legs)
Don't know if the head counts but then i would've had it way sooner.
30 limbs per shot (16 * 30) = 480 limbs per try.
10.000 : 480 = ~21 tries.
So lets say you need to do this 25 times, 5 minutes per try if you rush it, means you need approx 2 hours for the achievement.
But the story mode limbs also count, so my guess is that you need 13 tries if you have played the story at least once.
So around 1 hour of preaching for the achievement.

After a lot of wasted time, I've discovered that the secret to the Preacher sounds counter intuitive for a shotgun. You want to be 30+ feet away from groups of enemies when you fire it for maximum effect. What the Preacher seems to do is pepper the entire area inside the reticule with one-shot-kill pellets, so being very close to enemies means a lot of the pellets are going to go into one or two zombies and you'll be lucky to get 3-for-1. When I started backing up to 60-ish feet I was getting 8-for-1 at minimum and 12+ pretty regularly.
It also helps to keep running back and forth along this area, keeping the zombies clustered around the truck. They spawn too randomly and get strung out if you chill at one end of the path, so running to the other end makes the horde double back on itself and makes for prime shootin'. I usually fired 3-4 shots before I ran to the other end again.
I've found that my time investment and limbs were way off from the solution's projection, though. From the moment I got 8,000 on the tracker to getting the achievement, it took me 40 minutes to get 2,000 limbs over 11.5 checkpoint restarts (since I got the achievement after firing half of the Preacher's rounds on the 12th run), which means each run took ~3.5 minutes and got me ~175 limbs. You need about 20 minutes and 6 checkpoint restarts per 1,000 limbs.

Location in the video for the 10 000 dismemberment achievement. Episode 3, level 5 Army of Darkness. Roughly halfway into the level.
Explosive dismemberments do not seem to add to this counter, so using the Preacher in the above location works good. Reload checkpoint when you run out of ammo. I tried explosives in this area for 2 hours or more, assuming the counter just wasn't showing on the screen like it sometimes does. However once I started using the Preacher, it started popping at 4000, 6000, and as seen in this video, 8000.
NOTE: I'm running 4x enemy spawn, however this location spawns a ton no matter the enemy setting.

Any idea if you can get to that checkpoint, quit out, change to 4x spawn, and continue?
By hunterIV on 11 Mar 2015 19:15
You can't, however even on 1x spawn there's at least 28 guys and the checkpoint sets you back about 5 seconds. It's quick, just not as quick as 4x but substantially easier to get here solo.

As AntonioAdilson said, Dead End in Horde mode is a really good map to do this achievement. Just run to the preacher and stays where it is to handle both sides of zombies until you run out of ammo.
But I found a little tip to speed up the process : CROUCH !!!
When you face zombies, they usually stand bent over, not really straight (they are only zombies
). As a result, when shooting, the bullets go down and they doesn't spread like they should. By crouching, you shoot more upwards and it works great: all the affected zombies explode into several pieces! I managed to explode 16 zombies in one shot, all in a lot of limbs
With this method, I managed to make 2000 limbs in 25 minutes!
(I launched a lot of grenades. I don't know if this count towards this achievement but I think so)

This is the method I used. 25 mins per 2000. The trick is to aim at a distance. Do not fire if a zombie is close. Just mele him down.

This is definitely the best option. Thanks man!

O melhor mapa para fazer essa conquista é no beco sem saida , no modo horda voce pega a coveira e fica matando os zumbis ate acabar a munição e depois deixa morrer e fica repetindo a primeira onda.
em cerca de 2 horas da para fazer 4000 limbs.
The best map to this achievement is the dead end , the way you handle the horde you take the preacher and is killing the zombies until out of ammunition and then leaves die and keeps repeating the first wave .
in about 2 hours to 4000 limbs .

I got this on solo mode
level - forest of corpses
Difficulty cadet
Enemy setup four players
Start of the level go the house to start the seige then go to the mg42 machine gun nest take control of the gun tons of zombies start coming out of the trees wait until they are close then fire away with the gun this rips them to shreds
once the zombies stop a fire demon will spawn in with even more zombies do the same then kill the fire demon will go toward fire demon trophy restart level rinse repeat
just watch out for the two snipers
it took me two attempts doing this way after ive completed the game twice and done four of the hordes

This will likely be the last achievement you get. This is the most time consuming one but you can farm this quite quickly with the right spot. Load up Episode 3, Chapter 5: 'Army of Darkness', and advance through the level to the machinery area. Before the big doors open, you'll get a *checkpoint* then you'll see an army of armored zombies coming toward you slowly.
Walk toward them and you'll see a propped up corpse holding a Preacher. Pick this up, grab the ammo, then let rip into the armored zombies legs. One shot should sever both legs. Repeat this over and over trying to get as many leg shots as possible. Once you're out of ammo, reload the checkpoint and you'll be at the same point again, so rinse repeat and you'll farm about 1,000 limbs per 10 minutes.

Here is a video of how to get the trophy made by myself, but before a little explanation on what to do.
- Horde Mode
- Dead End Map
- Cadet difficulty with 4 player enemy settings.
- Only put 4 hand grenades (The rest doesn't matter)
As soon as you get on the map, move forward until you get to a little corner where the main ammo refill is located. On a crate is the almighty Preacher with 2 restock of ammo. With this, and 4 grenades, and in the very spot you pick it, bring mayhem across the two sections the zombies will come. For maximum efficiency on using the preacher, crouch before you shoot.
Once you have run out of preacher ammo and grenades, restart the wave and repeat.
PD. This also works for the 5000 Kills trophy.
Pd: Please, if you vote down say why so I can improve the solution. Thanks a lot.

For this trophy you must sever 10,000 limbs i.e. arms and/or legs from enemy zombies. This trophy will take a while to do and will likely be one of the last in which you unlock. There isn't really a good way to speed this trophy up but there are a few things you can keep in mind whilst you play the game which may reduce the amount of grinding that might be required post game:
- Frequently use the Shotgun (or find the stronger Preacher in each level) when fighting off large groups of zombies as the wide radius will help hit multiple enemies and potentially increase the amount of limbs severed.
- Explosive kills, i.e. grenades, dynamite etc, are great for severing limbs, so given the opportunity throw explosives into large hordes of zombies, or make use of any explosive barrels, canisters etc in the environment.
- Replay levels setting the Enemy Spawn to 'For 4 Players' as this will drastically increase the number of zombies in each level, and thus will increase the chance of severing more limbs when killing large groups of zombies with the above listed methods
If you want to grind this trophy, load up Episode 3 - The Keep (use a Shotgun as secondary) and in the Difficulty settings, choose '4 player zombies'. After the bit where the bridge blows up, there is a castle side with 3 summoners in the windows. Don't kill the Summoners as they will keep spawning wave after wave of zombies. If you run out of ammo, there is Sniper ammo at the end of the path.

We use a shotgun, welby and of course grenades, tripwires, mines and dynamite as often as possible. A convenient place to farm episode 3 is the Stronghold. It is also convenient to farm summoners and snipers. Video guide .

Difficulty "Cadet", 4 enemies, map "Dead End". There is everything you need - Pricher!, grenades, tripwires, landmines and dynamite. We put everything into action. It won’t work out quickly, it will be long and tedious. But it’s more convenient than in Tverdyn.

I used the two methods above, and in 4 hours I earned only 2k severed limbs, which is why I was upset and went to YouTube to look at alternative methods of boosting, and found: The third part, the last chapter called “Army of Darkness”. Set the number of opponents to x4, the difficulty is cadet, and do everything as shown in the video guide. In about an hour I went from 6,000 limbs to 10,000.
