  • How to unlock Zombie Genocidest

    Playing through the entire game on Easy should net you quite a few kills. Good thing the game has tons of re-playability because it should take you quite a few play-throughs to achieve this goal. It’s cumulative, so you don’t have to get this all in one sitting.

    During each 'movie', I got about 1k kills with 3 other players on Normal. Playing on Easy would ensure you would get more. If you die and start the chapter over, all the kills you got prior to dying will still count towards the achievement.

    There's a little trick for helping you faster, though. See the video below.

  • Achievement sucks
  • It deserves more than 20G.
  • This is a tough one, I had some good progress on this but then an Xbox Live update ruined it for me. But atleast I think it helped me with my problem on the Cr0wnd Achievement.
  • i wish it waz 100g i got it after a long time during the consruction site in dead air
  • I had this achiement reset on me after the last download content update a few months ago. It sucks cause I was at 40,000 kills now its like 1,000.
  • whats with the number couldn't just have been 53,000 or 54,000?????????
  • lol they are trying to be annoying 53,595 i dont undestand this number!?
  • May have something to do with the population of Willamette from Dead Rising, the chopper pilot says "population 53,594" i know its one away but still. Also the achievement is called "Zombie Genocider" in which you have to kill 53,594 zombies.
  • used the rooftop finale trick. taped down melee button and left the game alone.
  • The game: Prototype Has an achievement that says: Kill 53596 infected. weird shit
  • @#5: same here. I was at 30,000 and it reset. I'm now at 4,000. By doing the safe room door thing you only get 2000ish every 90 minutes.
  • @#10 Rockband 3 has an achievement where you must hit 53,596 hammer-ons/pull-offs on guitar
  • they updated it it gave me and my brother 30,000 kills
  • it got updated i was at 40000 got reset and now im at 30000
  • I'm at 45'000 Kills so far, I should get 53'595 once I finish all the campaigns on Expert and get all the Sacrifice Achievements... P.S. The only achievements I'm missing are Zombie Genocidest, What Are You Trying to Prove?, All Sacrifice Achievements...
  • In the safe-room where u start chapter 4 of No Mercy,is in the wall written:i killed 63,77,86,104,109 bitchs,and then: 53,595!!! and then LIES!for some reason... I killed 27,694
  • I don't understand why they didn't have an event like the end of The Barns in Dark Carnival where you had a saferoom, an ammo pile, tier 2 weapons, and a never-ending hoard of zombies to help
  • this should definately be worth more especially since it has reset on me 3 times now which really grinds my gears!
  • The guys at Valve are HUGE Dead Rising fans... This achievement is just 1 of the many Easter Eggs you can find for it in Left 4 Dead =P
  • i think it should be like 250 gamerscore or more cos the avatar award in left 4 dead 2 says that u have to kill 10,000 infected and thats a LOT!
  • looking for people to work together on left 4 dead 1 and 2 and get achievements its awin win situation all work together it would be nice if i could find 2 other people at least please message me and im 16 so if your someone wondering if im like 10 or something. my gamer tag is "Konner94".
  • your kills are now bacck
  • this achievement is ANNOYING only for 20G!!!! Should definitely be worth more i recommend you take your time with this cuz this cheevo is far fetch. SkillzThatEnvy[MOB]
  • A good tip from Littlest Genodice comments. Crash Course finale, if you do not turn the generator back on then the game will spawn endless waves of common infected with (personal experience) no special infected. Start the generator and then climb the generator pole 3 or 4 jumps until you're just under the floodlights. When you kill the second tank wait until you're sure all special infected are gone then kill off AI and keep shootin' down :) Still a long achievement but atleast you can lay back and squeeze the right trigger every second or so lol
  • So start a No Mercy campaign, final chapter on EXPERT. Kill all 3 AI and grab a pipe bomb. Head up the stairs around the corner and into the hallway. Throw the pipe bomb down towards the end of the hall and run back to the safe room.  When you hear the pipe bomb explode head back into the hallway. Head a little further in this time then turn around and return to the safe room, close the door. A Boomer should spawn along with one or 2 Hunters/Smoker. Continue returnin' to and from the safe room until you're confident you have killed off all special infected except the Boomer.  Have the Boomer follow you to the safe room, close the door and allow him to vomit on you from the steps. Stand a few steps away from the door and rubberband the controller's left trigger down. If yo
  • Stand a few steps away from the door and rubberband the controller's left trigger down. If you're in the right position the Boomer will constantly puke on you from the stairs and summon a Horde just under every minute, you will safely melee them to death.  I got around 30k kills in one night. Don't be frustrared if the infected don't appear exactly when and where you think they should. Just keep tryin' in your own way to get a Boomer on to those steps and to keep spewin' on you. Again sorry if my posts aren't easy to follow. There's plenty of videos on Youtube for this technique.
  • I'm currently working on this achievement and this works well Single Player Crash Course Truck Stop Finale on Easy rush to the finale and start the generator kill Both tanks (1st midway through the first generator cycle 2nd right about when the generator stops.) when the generator stops DO NOT start it vote the difficulty to expert and kill the AIs Make sure all special infected are dead now climb on the generator (from the left side) in the corner by the garage doors crouch and aim at the metal pole in front of you melee as long as all special infected were killed you can rack up massive amounts of kills. rubber band the left trigger. BE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR PROGRESS FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE YOU OCCASIONALLY TAKE DAMAGE AND MAY DIE IF YOU DO RINSE AND REPEAT IT CAN B
  • BE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR PROGRESS FROM TIME TO TIME BECAUSE YOU OCCASIONALLY TAKE DAMAGE AND MAY DIE IF YOU DO RINSE AND REPEAT IT CAN BE SET UP IN ABOUT 5 MINS.
  • Can someone help me out with this achievement? Send a message to HALFDEAD HITMAN on XBOX 360
  • Oh my,... this achievement... i made like 10thousand kills a day, from 30000-40000 zombie kills, and then just put my xbox to rest, then on the next day i wake up to see, all of that has reset... wth? why is this? anyone has experienced this?... 10000kills for nothing, oh dude...
  • I hate this achievement, I have been playing for ages and I'm only on exactly 15,000. They should have offered much more than 20G for this.
  • this achievement is so annoying its seems like ages before i get this
  • I would suggest you get all the other achievements first and save this one for last. Seems fitting for obvious reasons.
  • only 6000 more for me. unfortunately i have done all of the levels so many times to get this, that there is no fun left in them...
  • If Anybody wanna boost some kills, gt: Lazy Horsee
  • wow to anybody who has this achicement: hats off to you!
  • Only about 1000 away after two years of having this game and spending literally DAYS playing. And as for the resetting, they fixed that. I was about to ragequit someone when I noticed that my 50,000 kills were gone but a couple weeks later they fixed it. Same with the Red Mist.
  • aaaaaw my progress towards this achievement has been reset? thought they patched this problem???
  • for anyone who wants to know all games with"zombie genocider" in them come from the first ever zombie film dawn of the dead(a very old film) by george.a.romero the population in the film was 53,594. thats where this and all other achievments like this come from.
  • I really care less where it came from and why the random number... but danngggg, there are two things that annoy me about this: 1) time comsuming... talk about taking FOREVER.. and 2) the gamerpoints... 20, really?... this deserves to be at least about 50, 100, or possibly 150... oh well though. Anyways, I found a trick that I'm going for at the moment... I currently have 18,190 killed. I would try doing the Crash Course on the 2nd level in the truck yard. Turn on the generator, fight off as much as possible. Then when the power goes off DONT RESTART IT! Just keep the power out and the zombies will spawn like mad! It gets very irritating because of the time it takes. However, I got my The Littlest Genocide achievement this way.
  • last cheevo i need :)
  • this is a pure stinker mine reset i was sooooo pissed it reset everything ive gave up same with it same with l4d2 i got fed up with that and traded it in :( why do they do this to us the hummble gamer it aint fair and it aint right !!!
  • Just got done moving...Ugg..Cant wait to play Left 4 dead again, anyone want to play with me? Playing alone is sooo boring x.x Gamertag: The Demon Cat
  • In one of the campain safe rooms one of the quotes on the wall has people bragging on how many zombies they have killed. The last number of kills by a person was in fact 53595 so that may be why they did that.
  • I love this achievement. Keeps me coming back for more!!
  • Resetting your cache will restart the count at zero so if you don't want to start over on this or any other cumulitive achievement in the game.
  • Like #36, the fun is starting to fade...
  • how long on average does the achieve take?
  • have them all accept this pos
  • Comment #38. Good advice! That really does work...I just loaded up the finale and I taped the left trigger down and the boomer just keeps on puking on me and zombies are coming like crazy!!! I've already got about 500 kills in 15-20 minutes of this. I'm literally doing this right now as I'm typing this message and my controller is sitting on the floor...I'm doing absolutely nothing lol. I've never done anything like this to get an achievement before. It kinda feels like I'm cheating a little...but I should've already had this achievement. I had over 40k kills and when I downloaded the sacrifise it got set back to 0! Pissed me off soooo bad! If you don't have the patience for this achievement...DO THIS! It works!
  • Comment #28 I mean....not 38 lol.
  • There is An Better And Easy Way To Get This Still Works In No Mercy in The Forth Chapter The Hospital Go To the elevator and Press The Switch Hit Back To The Safe Room Kill Two of Your Team mates Leave One Alive Remain in The Saleroom For An Hour Make Sure You Have An Wired Controller after One Hour Kill Your Team mate And Kill all The infected When you Leave The Safe room More infected Will Keep coming Make Sure You Change Back to Easy They Will Keep Coming And Coming Feel Free To Go To The Finale you Will Get 1000 I Just Began Left 4 Dead 0>30000 This Works Add Me ZombieLionel 20 Or More Infected Will Keep coming Don,t Worry The Special infected Are Stuck at The elevator
  • When I do the No mercy 5 Safe room glitch it's not saving my kills, I'm at about 30k Now. Any other easy ways to get kills?
  • Geez am i the only one who's actually playing the game and getting this achievement legitimately?
  • @#57 Nope. I have exactly 21,717 zombies to go. The only way I'm really gonna get this achievement is by just getting a few at a time whenever I decide to play the game, or going on and intentionally working on this achievement. I don't have many other achievements for me to do after that.
  • @57 - me too. I've been playing this game on and off for close to three years now. I'm at about 45000. I sometimes play survival, hoping I can get more kills per minute. Not sure if it really makes much of a difference. Would be great if this carried over to L4D2. This achievement is pretty much the only reason I play L4D1 instead of L4D2. And with the Cold Stream DLC for L4D2(which includes the 4 original maps) coming soon, I don't see any other reason to play #1.
  • As someone else stated this achivement is the only reason I play this game over the second one. I'm now at 28,000 total infected kills. I've played for a few months now and boy is this THE WORST 20 GS ACHIVEMENT OF ALL FUCKING TIME !!! Really this achivement takes A very long time to get yet its only 20 gs. This achivement should have been like 150 GS damn. Great game and I don't mind grinding for this but still I'm at 28,000/57,000 damn still a long way to go. Anymore I get 100 or more kills per level. ;0
  • Finnally got this achivement today after playing everyday and getting an average of 150-200 kills a level in co op and playing Survival too. Now I have all non-DLC achivements and getting the DLC this Sunday can't wait. My advice to everyone this achivment was a pain in the ass yes, but it helped me get REALLLY GOOD AT THIS GAME. I thought I was good before but this achivment helped me know the game inside and out from playing it so much. Stick with it.
  • #61 Whats your GT. I want to play versus with people on crash course but no one is online when I search for a game.. Also this achievement is not hard its just time consuming.. just melee on chapter 5 of no mercy on expert.. waves and waves of zombies to kill.. got my xbox controller on charge using play and charge and am leaving it running.. hopefully i'll get a little closer soon. also i need the red mist so if anyone wants to cover my back on a no mercy chapter 5 rooftop battle then i'll help you out too :D
  • It Works in No Mercy Chapter 4 Go to The Elevator Press it And Wait in Safe Room Make Sure You Teammates Are Dead Depending How Long You Wait Hours if So 1000 Zombies Will Wait Longer And More 1500 or 2000 Overnight Make Sure The Smoker or Hunter is Dead After Killing Them They Will Respawn back at the elevator if you want to share the points go ahead for its a split like 500 for you and 500 for your teammate make sure you change it to east But if you leave it on expert more zombies will keep coming Try it Step 1 Take Down all Teammates Step 2 Make Sure theres no smokers or Hunters Killing your zombies Step 3 Kill The Zombies And Go to the Final Level Amd See How Many Zombies You Killed My Wait All Night Next More killing Zombies For an Hour or Two Ends Finish The Chapter My Name
  • Well this achievement glitched i was at like 15,000 kills and it reset me to 0 then set me to 30,000 but getting 53,595 kills from 30,000 kills still takes a long time.
  • Just don't restart generator on crash course an they will keep coming
  • got a long way to go on this one. looking for peeps to team up with. message me or send FR
  • I am looking to complete this and others. I also have Left 4 Dead 2. Gamertag is: alekzander xiii
  • This one is really easy if you know what to do. Startup a game on No Mercy - Rooftop finale (Expert) Kill off the bots Run to the top of the stairs just outside the saferoom and throw a pipebomb (just to clean up the corridor) Wait for a boomer to spawn. Run back to the saferoom and shut the door The boomer will keep vomiting on you and zombies will run at the door. Now just put a rubber band on left trigger (since there is no melee fatigue) It will kill them after a few pushes. It take about 1 1/2 hours to kill 5000 zombies. So go out somewhere while you do this XD
  • I found a great method using crash course. 1) Play Vs on Truck Stop Finale (that way no specials will spawn) 2) Kill second tank and the rest of your team (don't restart the generator) 3) climb the generator in the corner opposite the ammo pile and look at the open window to the left of where you are perched. When you do this the infected will climb the ledge and jump off giving you the perfect chance to pop them in the back of the head with your pistols.
  • Im doing the rubberband trick right now and im getting about 2.5k kills and hour
  • Message me if you want to see one of the easiest tricks for this achievement. i found this by mistake - GT XzT0XiCScOpEsXz
  • just take your time and start car alarms and get puke on 1000 kills for end of the finale
  • Guide says "Good thing the game has tons of re-playability" and I laugh at that. This game is one of the most boring games I've ever played.
  • I too was a victim whose progress got reset from one of the game's updates. This is the only one left to unlock in this game.
