| As i started my 3rd playthrough in the beginning(the prologue) i noticed to run into an amazing glitch that helps towards the 5000 kills. As i played after the part where the ship blows up in the sky and knocks you and Anderson down to the injured soldier, you get the the semi cutscene with the cannibals shooting at you. From this point it will ask you to take cover on the wall, DONT. If you never take cover on the walls then the enemies across the water will continue to spawn forever, i had 3800 kills when i started and got my achievement in about a hour or so. Also remember to put the difficulty on Narrative. This method is boring but it gets the job done. |

FOR ANYONE WHO HAD THIER KILLS RESET!!!! (like me)
FOLLOW strikers guide to get you to the area.
BUT FIRST .... You want to be an engineer to boost this so if you were not an engineer in me3 don't import a me3 character as it may not let you choose to be an engineer.
Instead import a me2 character and you WILL get the option to choose a class... Pick engineer and as soon as you can go to the squad screen. Spend points on sentry turret and level it up to six picking the following options ...
Rank 4 - shields and damage
Rank 5 - cryo ammo
Rank 6 - flamethrower
This will allow your sentry to last long and do major damage and also freeze the enemies quite often.
Now select tech mastery and level it to 6 picking the following ....
Rank 4 - power damage
Rank 5 - damage and capacity
Rank 6 - DRONE MASTERY
Rank 6 is super important it allows your drones to be super drones!
Now select combat drone and boost it to the highest level you can choosing the following....
Rank 4 - shields and damage
Rank 5 - shields and damage
Rank 6 - chain lightening
Now you can choose to be lazy and allow both the drones to kill for you which will take about 4 to 5 hours to obtain 5,000 kills OR you can use both drones and shoot enemies as well with the pistol which will take about 1 to 1.5 hours to obtain 5,000 kills. You will need to keep an eye on the drones either way because they will die sooner or later. It seems that the sentry drone lasts 3 to 5 times longer than the combat drone.
Or you could do a little of both like I did, it took me 3 hours and I only shot the enemies for about 30 minutes.
Also just stand to the far right where the ammo spawns and send your drones across from that spot.... It's the optimal spot to place them.
I suggest doing this all in one session as you don't want to risk being reset again as it has happened to many people multiple times!
Good luck! Any questions feel free to ask.
Update:
FYI you can also add that using a turbo controller then you can just let it run for you over night just turbo the combat drone button.

Good solutions. Mine is probably about the same amount of time, but doesn't require any special character configuration or change to the difficulty setting. It can't be done hands-off as with the drones method, but it's much safer than picking random close-encounter battles (trying for the achiement through normal play).
There's a mission not too far into the game where you have to rescue a Primarch from Paleven's moon. There's a place in this mission where you climb a ladder and take control of a mounted turret. At that point, two waves of Husks start approaching the barricade, and you pretty much just blast them away from a distance with the mounted gun.
If you have a save before this mission or somehwere near the beginning of it, find it and then make another save just before climbing up the ladder. That will give you a load point between rounds.
Load, climb the ladder, blast both waves of Husks, and then when the cutscene kicks in with the Brute knocking you off, just quickly skip through the cutscenes (takes about a second or two to skip) so that you see the "saving" message. Now just reload the save before the ladder, climb up, and repeat.
I seem to be getting 25 to 35 kills each round, and the round doesn't last long if you get into a good groove. I haven't timed it, but I seem to be getting about 500 kills in under half an hour using this method.
Maybe not the best, buf it might work for somebody close to the 5000 target and just needs a few hundred more.
(Update) Yeah, I timed it, and I got about 35 kills in less than 2 minutes. Factor in the loading time, and it should be possible to get somewhere around 500 kills every half hour. Gets boring after a while, of course. |

| I just wanted to let you know that playing multiplayer also increases your kill count towards veteran. I had about 2,000-2,500 kills after a few playthroughs of the game. After playing online I noticed the kill progression chart appearing every once in awhile. Didn't take me too long to get past 3,500 so it is not fast but will help along the way to getting defender and master and commander achievements as well |

I just finished this achievement and wanted to let you all know of a fantastic spot I found. Spoilers below..
So on the final mission, Priority Earth when you first land you are sent to take out a cannon using heavy weapons from a downed shuttle, once you destroy the cannon it shift to a sequence where you are waiting for extraction. You will know this started as a Banshee comes up over the edge.
So you kill the banshee them move over to where the enemies will endlessly re-spawn. The shuttle will arrive, DO NOT GET ON. Cannibals will spawn endlessly in fairly rapid succession here. Kill as many as you can as fast as you can until the shuttle explodes, game over screen, hit continue and you start right as the banshee comes up.
I was getting 30-50 kills, if you have the ability pickup Aria's Flare ability. Great AOE killer.
Good luck! and remember easier difficulty makes this quicker, you can even place a save right after Cortez goes down. |

| I found an alternative as well. In the Citadel DLC, once you have beaten the story part you gain access to a combat arena, where you fight waves of enemies, with or without sqadmates. If you play without sqadmates you can net 30 odd kills per match, and make some extra credits along the way. It can be a little slow, but it's still pretty fun rather than tedious. I've gotten around 200 kills in about an hour. |

Alright, seeing as how no one has posted this yet. I found a small glitch at the main end of the game, much like the one on the main beginning of the game. When you and HAMMER crew go to Earth, you will land around a bunch of enemies. IF YOU DO NOT GET OFF THE SHIP, AND STAY ON THE SHIP, you can keep on killing. You have plenty of cover and if a grenade is thrown at you, you can move to the back of the ship. I found this to be a very effective way to get this achievement. Much easier, since all you have to kill is cannibals and a few others. If you die though, all your kills you have got before you died does count towards this. So dont be afraid of dying if you are playing on insanity or what-not.
You can get around 15 kills every 3 or 4 minutes doing this. If your lucky, you can get around 25 or 30 every 5 or 6. There is a ton of enemies here. |

Kills in multiplayer count towards this achievement.
I found that if you have a high level multiplayer character, mine was a level 18 (20 shortly after) Asari Vanguard and you go into match making, set the game to private and bronze. Then work your way through the 11 waves by yourself you can wrack up more than a few kills while gaining xp and money.
This won’t work for everyone as it can be a total pain, where it is easy to get overwhelmed while doing some of the challenges, but it does give you the opportunity to earn a few kills.
I unfortunately wasn’t paying enough attention to how many kills I got per match but when I finished my insanity play through I was only 1000 short and managed to get this achievement a few hours later. |
