I've also noticed that with the SUV, just like reversing seems to be more lethal, swerving into zombies seems to kill them faster too. May be worth trying that where there's a high concentration of zombies, like doors.

I'm also willing to make a video for the bike book way if someone'll help.

Main post has been edited

A warning added for anyone attempting this it's not 100% full proof

Video added

If some one can make a bike method i will add it to the main post.

Thanks to xf02 for the very high quality video

Doesn't look like the SUV is going to work. I've got a few ideas that I'm going to try out if it doesn't work. Does anyone know for sure when the Silver Strip ramp into the underground opens? Is it when the military arrives and you've not missed a single case file?

Edit: Finished with 62,837 kills. Could have probably got another 3-5k in there if I hadn't started killing after getting Katey some Zombrex, but it's not looking good.

The 1000 hand to hand kills carry over. I started a new campaign and was only on 670 total kills when the 1000 hand to hand kills poped

[Savok]

Looking very much like the bike. I just managed to pull off a 50 minute run, from chainsaw to breakage (900 dead, crashed some which killed durability). It was a fucking nuts run, doing that for hours would be exhausting.

More bike tips, go fast in a straight line, the hit detection seems to notice when your handlebars/chainsaws aren't horizontal.

Yup, same shit happened to me, except getting zombrex and all that. Although I focused on grindin' zombies I only managed to get 64.000. This is bullshit.

A friend of mine did 72000 kills with the SUV. He was starting a new the game, collected the magazine (4 a longer car lifetime) and was going to make kills. Every 1800-2000 kills he was going into the casino (near the SUV) then going out again, into the SUV and killing, killing..... He did it within the time and had after the cheevo popped another 3 hours in game time left!
Hope this helps!

I have a theory that could well help get the 72k, get you extra time to do it in, and give you a better place too.

What I was thinking, was you stock up on cash, enough to buy all the Zombrex you'll need for Katey (and TK at the end), and do all the essential case files along with giving Katey her Zombrex. Killing zombies in the SUV or slicecycle in the meantime, and pick up the bike book during the case file that opens the door for you. That way, when the military shows up, you'll be able to take an extra durability slicecycle into the underground, which should be a LOT faster than going up and down the Strip. Of course, ignoring all missions when you get into overtime.

Thoughts?

Thanks. That's the simplest method. I'll give it another try.

Yeah this might work, BUT it's better to start from the beginnig, by leaving everything behind. As you can see, the time-frame is way too short. =(

Thanks for this. If you could please maybe ask your friend if there was route or certain technique he used to do it faster that would be most appreciated

He was driving in circkes around the place and he was never loading a save (he did it in one go, after every 1 hour a quick save in the middle of the place ) When the biker comes kill him quick cause there are not so many zombies when he is there!
He did it 2 times the first time he had 70000 cause the SUV was stickking into some objects sometimes. Then you have to go out the car running back to the SUV and that costs time!! If this happens load your save!
Did not try it by myself but tomorrow when i got enough time i will try it this way

Thanks so there's a place to save on the strip?

[Van Dayyyyum]

This achievement is starting to scare me now lol...

[kennaah]

So at what time does the game end ?

I'm now on day 3 9.04 am and i have 49K kills

How long do i have left before the game ends?

[xf02]

It ends at some point on day 4. I'm not sure of the exact time.

Edit: Since this tactic has been confirmed as possible, I've made public my video on the locations of the books etc.

[Van Dayyyyum]

So do I have to give Katey Zombrex or can I can skip that and just focus on killing zombies?

[xf02]

You'll be able to skip that. Should give you a few extra game-hours to accomplish the 72k.

Yes! You can save in the middle of the Fortune Park! (Check the save before you start killing!)

[Savok]

I think they're serious about the Genocide Master part...

[IconicGherkin]

If you do donuts(left trigger+right trigger+left/right on left stick) on a bike it doesn't blow up for ages(possibly never, I gave up after an hour through boredom!) Gonna give it a go when i do the kills playthrough. hope this helps

[Van Dayyyyum]

Day 1 - 4pm - 10,500 kills

God I hope that's good.

[Savok]

Depends on when you started. You have over 72 hours (depending on how quick you get to killing) to get 72k mashed zombies, basically 1k an hour. You can do the math from there.

[PhyscoticScot]

UPDATE

Video added to Step 2

I gave McClane a credit for proving this is possible

I have added a 3rd Step to be completed once me or someone else has an idea to beating the tight time factor.

I posted my time saving tips in this thread already. I just got the achievement with more than 4 hours to spare. Will take a screen shot in the morning.

Shit 4 hours left, damn. I gotta try it your way.

[tonyturbo]

anyone know if this will give you a bonus weapon like DR1 did with the Megaman blaster?

Thanks for reminding me will write them into the guide later and credit you.

Ive nealry done. 60k Kills so far, 14hrs left. Using the SUV. Getting a thousand kills in two laps of the strip then using Yucatan to repopulate. Easily getting a little over 1k an hour.

I think the key is speed. I just bomb it down aiming for the large clusters. Don't worry if you miss loads as long as you getting at least 1k an hour you're doing fine.

Yeah, that's true. Doing the same thing right now. Hopefully it works out.

[PhyscoticScot]

Im on day 3 11.26am with 46,000 don't know if that's good enough
