    Every time when zombie falls backwards or simply gets stunned by melee attack or gun shot, above it's head will appear an cn_A icon. Quickly press that right button and you will net an insta kill. Notice that you have to close to zombie that you can see the cn_A icon over it's head.

    Simply perform this 100 times and the achievement will be yours.

    xAcCeSs DeNiEdUpdate for solution:
    Instant kills can be turned on automatically in the game options.
    Start>Game>Automatic instant kills> ON/OFF
    Having this turned on means it will automatically perform the instant kill animation when you hit a stunned enemy. This doesn't affect the achievement in any way, this is for your preference. Also to add playing in co-op, only the HOST will get progress towards this achievement.

    You need to hit a zombie with a melee weapon cn_RT and the when a cn_A appears press it to insta kill em and do it 100 times

    Note1: Turning on auto instakill in options works (My friend got it that way) then you do not have to hit cn_A only cn_RT and it will instakill zombies when there else would be a cn_A above their head

    Note2: Sometimes doesn't work if playing co-op if not host (my friend was host and he got it but mine stayed at 11%)
