This guide was not done by me, me being TheNightmareVale. This is however the most detailed guide on it I've ever seen, even better than the one I made lol. Here is the guide:
Goal: The quickest and most efficient way to get the Zombie Genocider
achievement.
This achievement also grants the player the Mega Buster gun in the security
room next time a 72 hour mode game is started.
First, to dispel some bad habits. Of the guides I've seen, people
incorporate
all three vehicles, and go straight from point A to point B. This is not
efficient. My technique uses only two vehicles and a technique I call
'grass-cutting' for max kills.
Grass-cutting:
This is basically driving around in tight circles in areas with extremely
dense
concentrations of zombies. There are two notable locations with these
concentrations:
1) at the truck spawn point under Seon's Supermarket (North Plaza)
2) immediately outside the area where the white car spawns under paradise
plaza
You will be mowing down all of these zombies like they are blades of grass.
Note: Since the truck has zero turn radius, this can only be done with the
white car, but that's enough because the white car can take out both
concentrated groups without breaking down.
The Grass-cutter technique:
---------------------------
Line up your car against one wall and cut the wheel as hard as you can to go
into a tight turn. You can not be going full throttle or you won't make the
cut
(you'll hit the opposite wall of the tunnel). You must tap the gas in a
rhytmic
manner to maintain a speed that will allow you to make a circle between any
two
walls of a tunnel.
As you make your circles, you'll cut a path through the crowd... once you
have
done this, and when against a tunnel wall, straighten your tradjectory for a
split second so that your next circle will be offset from the previous
circular
path you cleared. This will allow you to mow down another load of zombies.
Repeat this until most all zombies in the concentrated group are dead. Don't
worry about the few stragglers, it's not worth it.
The Setup:
----------
First thing you'll need to do is get the maintenence key so you can save
your
progress. Start this task by going outside to leisure park and head into the
alley that leads to the parking lot with the motorcycle and red convertible.
Take the convertible and go underground. Once underground make a right, a
left
and then a right again. This will bring you to dead end with a door. Go in
the
door and to the back right corner of the room. Grab the maintenence key and
get
back in the convertible.
Leaving the dead end, make a right, another right, and then a left. Go until
you hit another dead end and notice the white car. This is your killing
machine. This is also the area where you'll reload the level to respawn cars
and also to save in paradise plaza.
The Route:
----------
<`><`>< THE WHITE CAR ><`><`>
Jump in the white car and head out of the dead end area. Notice immediately
after you enter the tunnel that there is a ton of zombies here in a
T-junction.
For those not familiar with the term, T-junction refers to a point in a path
where a straight path has another path intersecting it in a perpendicular
manner - it forms a T shape. Anyway, take a look at this diagram:
| |
| |
| |
| |
| 4. head down this |
| tunnel when |
| done. |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
--------------------------------+ | 2. make sharp left here
|
|
|
3. Do circles in here..... and out here as well. |
- Hit cannisters to |
quickly clear area. |
|
|
--------------------------------+ |
| | 1. stick to this right
| | hand side of the
| | tunnel wall.
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
So that's the plan. You stick close to a wall, then turn sharply to do
circles
through the crowds of zombies. Remember, don't do full throttle, you'll
never
make the cut and you'll hit the side of the tunnel wall. I found myself
tapping
the throttle at regular intervals to maintain a constant speed that was slow
enough to make a circle between the two tunnel walls. You can and should hit
the cannister-on-handtruck zombies in this crowd to quickly clear this area.
After a few runs you'll get the hang of doing this efficiently.
Once you've cleared this group of zombies, head down the tunnel as indicated
in
the diagram in step 4 (you'll be heading towards the truck spawn location).
So
you'll make a right, a left, and another right. You'll pass the ramp from
which
you entered the underground area and finally make a left (you'll be forced
to)
and find yourself at the truck spawn location.
This is another area with a concentration of zombies. Take your white car
and
do circles all in this area and mow down all the zombies using the
grass-cutter
technique with offset circular patterns. This area is wider than the tunnel
sections so you can go a little faster and make a bigger circle.
Once you clear this area head a little bit back down the tunnel and hit the
gas
cannister zombie to kill another group of them. This will probably kill your
car at this point, if not kill more zombies but don't stray too far from the
truck because your car will break soon and you don't want to have to fight
through a ton of zombies. Once you car busts, get in the truck.
<`><`>< THE TRUCK ><`><`>
[Note: during your drive to the white car spawn location that I'm about to
explain, you'll notice where the groups of zombies tend to gather, and also
where the cannisters are located in those groups of zombies. After a few
runs
you'll be able to maximize your zombie killing during this run.]
Ok, you're in the truck now...
Head out of this dead end area and back to the long stretch tunnel. Go for
the
full length of this tunnel 'til you hit the end and are forced to turn left.
You'll then quickly come upon a round-about section of the tunnel. Take the
second right off the round-about (there are two possible branches off the
round-about... one takes you to al fresca plaza and the other takes you
to a T-junction). Once you hit the T-junction, make a right. Go down, hit
the
jog at Entrance Plaza, then head up towards Paradise Plaza again. When you
hit
the next T-junction, make a right and you'll be at the white car spawn point
again - but there's no white car! We'll handle that right now...
-+= Reload The Level =+-
Head into the door located in the area where the white car was located.
You'll
have to fight through one group of zombies... no biggie (i suggest you get
the
small chainsaws from adam the clown and the magazines to make them last).
Take
a left at the end of the hall and notice an elevator. Get in the elevator
and
hit the button. Notice the level reloads. You now have your white car and
truck
again. Also notice that as you leave the elevator there isn't a zombie to be
seen. Go back down the stairs and out to the white car. All clear. You can
tell
Capcom did this on purpose to make your life easier in doing the genocide
achievement. You can now repeat the route... and repeat the route... and
repeat
the route... etc. Repeat until you hit the 53k-zombies-dead mark.
// Saving Your Progress \\
Another thing that indicates this is how Capcom wanted you to do it... after
riding up the elevator, if you don't go back down the stairs and head down
the
hallway instead, you'll find yourself literally 10 steps from a save point
in
the bathroom in Paradise Plaza. I saved every 5000 kills, because my xbox
360
crashes occasionally (dirty disc error). Once you save, head back down
into the maintenence tunnels and repeat.
That's basically it. You should have 53,953 (or whatever it is) dead in no
time
(well, about 2.5 hours).
You may ask, why not use the red car... it's another vehicle to kill with.
Here's why you shouldn't bother:
1) it takes two level loads to get the red car vs the single load riding the
elevator.
2) it takes a lot of time exiting the tunnels up the ramp, circling the
parking
lot, getting the red car and heading back down the ramp.
3) All you really care about is having a vehicle to kill with, so what's the
difference between 2 cars and 3 cars? The respawn time is so short with
the
elevator it offsets the time to get the red car.
General tips:
1) Don't always be going at maximum speed. You don't have to be going very
fast
to kill the zombies, so go slower and have more time to veer into crowds of
them when getting from point A to point B. I don't think I ever kept it
floored
for longer than 4 seconds at any time. Going slower also allows more
precision
and more time to pick out those gas-cannister-on-handtruck zombies.
2) Watch out for cannister zombies that are not in a group of zombies. If
you
hit one of these you may get 5 kills but your car will break down sooner.
You
only want to hit cannister zombies if they are in a group of many zombies.
-----------
Try this system... it rocks. Remember the whole key is doing circular
patterns
in the most condensed groups of zombies and hitting cannister zombies in
groups
of zombies.
Also don't just stick to my pattern, maybe you can come up with a better
pattern than the one I came up with. Experiment and have fun!

Personally I don't think the Real Megabuster is worth all of this, the only thing that makes it the best GUN and only gun not best weapon is because it can pretty much kill any enemy in the game with a few shots, this of course easily makes it the cheapest weapon in the game, but not the best.
