    Just gonna share how I got it. It only took me roughly 4 tries with a co-op partner. I chose 'I'm on a boat' level. The entire time I was on the top right Harpoon gun, only left when there was money at the bottom, or when I was focusing on saving a depot from exploding. My partner used the other Harpoon gun a lot, but he was pretty good at attacking enemies so he did what he wanted. I just made sure to pick up a lot of money so we evened out.

    The only thing we ever bought was health. Once we got past wave 20 or so, we started placing the Barrages (top left of shop menu) around the map. (NOTE: don't place them right above the harpoon btw, we accidentally activated one trying to get on the harpoon). But we had 4 at the bottom, and 1 or 2 at the top. Wave 27 is where you'd want to use only 1 Barrage. (press RB on the things you've been placing around the map) We got lucky and actually made it through 27 w/out having to use any.

    On wave 30, there will be a boss, so as soon as the boss appears, start using the Barrages one by one. After you use one, make sure to wait till enemies start appearing again, and use another. If you have 5 starting on wave 30, you should kill all the enemies. We only had 4 but we jumped back on the harpoons and finished killing the last few enemes..

    The harpoons are amazing with 1 hit kills on everything excepts bosses and shielded guys. Shielded guys you can kill in 1 shot by hitting them in the back, or getting lucky and missing the shield and hitting them.

    One last tip I remember. If you're patient enough, you can have unlimited money in the game as far as I could tell. You can just leave one enemy and wait for the birds to keep coming and collecting from them. We did do that, but on 27 we did leave the last enemy so we could use health more than once, as it takes like 60 seconds in between. Just remember you can do that if your really low on health before you go to the next wave.

    KJer25Im on a boat is far and away the best level. The harpoon gun wipes most everyone with 1 hit. Bubbles and JR are the way to go. She has that money multiplier, and he disarms at 30% faster speeds. As soon as me and my co op partner used this combination, we beat it in on the 3rd try.

    jjaldanaWave 20 is the last wave grenades spawn so you want to make sure to keep those till wave 27/30.

    TIPS:
    -You obviously need another player that will be communicating with you throughout all the waves to be successful with this.
    -Choose the Map "Bombed Church" because of the fire traps on each side and whenever the enemy tries to climb up the ladder it only takes one bullet to knock them back down to the first level of this map.
    -One player pick Bubbles because she has 30% more ranged damage, 30% off shop weapons and when you choose her pick the scythe since it has the most knockback and it does 10% more damage too large and fat enemies.
    -One player pick the Defender because he has disarms bombs 50% faster, gets 20% off shop weapons & turrets. Choose the Sledge Hammer and Shotgun for hime because with this combo you will be able to take out multiple of the medium and large enemies even if they are shielded at once with no problem .
    -One person should stay next to the fire trap on the third level of the map and the other person should stay at the second level fire trap. The whole point of this is to try NOT to use a lot of money for health or anything UNTIL you reach to wave 19. Waves 1-18 should be a cake walk and you shouldnt have to spend a lot of money if you just use the fire traps and shoot the enemies off the ladder into the fire traps. Doing this, they will not get close enough to hit you and you will save a lot of money.
    -On wave 19 is when it starts to get hard, to make things very easy one player has to buy the grenade launcher to kill the large zombie enemies. Using this is a one shot kill to the large and or medium zombies. This is needed because the large zombie enemies do a lot of damage and take a lot of hits to die.
    -The waves in between should be easy if you keep using the fire traps.
    -The next zombie wave is 23 and the fat zombies which deal A LOT more damage than the large ones come out. Once again someone buy the grenade launcher and it is a one shot kill to all the fat zombies also.
    -Hopefully by now you have all 3 crates still because you have the defender who defuses bombs very fast, having all 3 crates will make it easier so the bombers are not focused on only ONE crate. Also use Decoys if you have extra money to use because they are a VERY helpful distraction to the enemies.
    -The next zombie wave is 27 so before his wave come I suggest you buy 2 barrages and set one on the first level and the third level on the map because you will need to use one of them to kill the zombie boss quickly. Once you get rid of the zombie boss with one of the barrages make sure someone buys another grenade launcher and picks off the rest of large and or fat zombies.
    -The LAST zombie wave is on wave 30 of course, and there are a TON of enemies on this wave. So on wave 29 make sure you have a Barrage on each of the 3 levels set up, one for the boss zombie and the other 2 as safety's if you feel like you are about to die. The Barrages take out all the enemies that are on the screen so if your partner needs a revive and there are too many enemies around, it will be very helpful.....
    Let Me Know If there are any Other Tips I missed that I should add :-).

    First of All There is no Easy way to do this, you need to be great at the game and have a coop partner that is great. Start up "Down On The Farm" Save All Your money Only buying Life and Decoys when needed, once you get to WAVE 23 Make sure you have 2 - 4 decoys it just helps, also a thumper or 2, even A Chain Gun Is Nice. once Thats Out, Or you just decide you can't take it anymore Jump into the top left corner and one player shoot down and the other shoot down-right and down when needed the zombies shouldn't even be able to get you. This Method doesn't work for the later Zombie waves until the boss is dead. I've Personally Made it to Wave 30 which is a Zombie Wave With a Boss Be Warned............ Only To Be Run Down Into The Grinder........... Good Luck.

    Yes, 27 & 30 Are The Same, 28 and 29 ARE EASY <<< Just got the Achievement. Once you get to 27 Use about half your money on, Boar on both floors, you should already have decoy or 2 make a 3rd or even a 4th, A minigun, and maybe a turret, You must dunk the boss fast as you can then sit in the corner and use the method "LEFT CORNER SHOTGUNS" it will even stop the bombers from getting the left most bomb set. NOTE: Watch out for BIG SPEAR zombies (only the Spear one) and The WOMEN zombies They can Still get you just not that easy.

    Last Wave My Co-op Partner Had 10,000 Cash He Made, Fire Turret, Boar, A Minigun turret, A Minigun, A Thumper, Once The Boss Was Dead He Used a Barriage, Then "LEFT CORNER SHOTGUNS"

    1 Last Thing, Leave 1 Enemy From The Wave Before So You Can Have Enough Time To Spend You Cash<
    GOOD LUCK!.....

    AceStAyWilDiNMade it to 23 and looking for a good co-op partner.

    Che ExerWow, this is hard. Made it to 27 on "Down on the Farm". The boat seems to be easier, because you can get rid of those hard enemies very fast. But nonetheless we didn't come that far on that map.

    If someone wants to try with me, just add me to your friendslist.

    PS: What exactly do you mean with left corner? Do you mean on the top of the left ladder?
    Posted by Che Exer on 20 Feb 12 at 23:21
    Che ExerOk, we got it! Maybe you could add this to your solution: Defender+Chops ist a damn good combination. Defender (Hammer+Shotgun) can get rid of the bombs really fast and Chops (Scythe+Uzi) will get you more money than you can spend, which will come in very handy in waves 23, 27 and 30. Just buy everything you can get and you will be fine. But be carefull with the turrets, the bosses can destroy them pretty fast.
