Becoming a Zombie Tickler - 9 kills at a time
Perhaps you're like me... you finished the game, nabbed all the achievements you could, then realized that there were 2 achievements left... and then it dawned on you that those last 2 achievements were the grindy type... grind grind grind... *yawn*. Then you thought, well maybe someone has a guide on how to do this faster... WELCOME! Here is exactly that guide.

So here you have it:

Start the game - click PLAY



Click CAMPAIGN



Select ACT ONE



Select LEVEL ONE



Play through the first couple areas of introductory zombie kills... then STOP when you get to the point when the police car comes crashing out killing off a swarm of zombies.









After that police car smashes through the 9 zombies just chilling there minding their own business press the fingerprint PAUSE (upper right) and then select RESTART BLOCK.



REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT for 9 kills at a time. Play the game windowed, turn off the volume, throw on NetFlix, Hulu, or whatever else you enjoy viewing (yes you know what you like) and simply keep clicking Pause and Restart Block... soon enough you'll have 10,000 kills... because, yes, these count as kills even though you didn't surround the zombies and what have you.

Don't forget to exit the game every now and again to let Steam update the kill count in your achievements -- my Zombie Massacre-er achievement popped after I closed the game and Steam gathered my info.

Random info: 5,000 / 9 = 555.5 (times you'll have to press repeat from 5k to 10k)

There may be other areas of the game where the objects / storyline itself kills off more than 9 zombies at a time. It's been a while since I completed the campaign and I took a break from it before coming back to try to figure out how to get those last 2 achievements. Feel free to let me know if there's a better spot. Please leave thoughts, comments, ideas, feedback, etc. and if you find this at all helpful please give it a thumbs up. Thanks!

About halfway through Act 3 Chapter 3 at the university, after you get a choice to blow up one of two cars blocking your path, if you pick the right-side car it'll say "We avoided the classrooms and tried to stay in the clear", and the next level will have a gas canister on the left that will wipe out the bottom three rows plus a few more in the upper left corner. This seems to average 10-15 zombies per shot, and if you have some spare items saved, you can even pick off a few more before restarting. The hardest part is waiting through the narration-scrolling each time. It's also useful for grinding civilian casualties for the Mega Oops achievement.

I think the very best grind though is actually the last block of 1-1 where the title falls on 16 zombies right at the start, and this usually results in trapping a few more as well, for 18-19 kills per reset with no other collateral damage. The narration-scroll is pretty short too.

@alienM Can confirm, 16 zombies, plus 2-3 more, as more often then not there's a couple zombies that get taken out from being surrounded. Reload block at 16/500 is 312.5 times, 615 time for full 10K. Guess this will be the second 'perfect' game that I wrap up.

On end of Act 1 Level 1 there is even faster way to get bunch of zombies. There where title of game ("Containment: The Zombie Puzzler") fall and smash 16 (+2) zombies. I think this method is double faster, anyway good luck to all achievement's hunter! :spazwinky:
