How to unlock the Wired for War achievement

    This achievement can only be obtained in the "Lifeline" play mode.

    There's an easily accessed area near your base that constantly spawns a decent number of zombies. Exit the base through the eastern doors and head north into an alley and then turn west until you come to a couple of garbage bins against a brick wall. Zombies will infinitely spawn in these back areas. Just toss a grenade in, blow them up, and wait a few seconds to let some more spawn in. Repeat this as many times as is necessary to get the 100 kills.


    Drone Strikes:

    From the beginning of the game you have access to Drone Strikes. Use cn_down on the d-pad to bring up the "Radio Assistance" menu. You will have access to Drone Strikes until a certain period of time has passed after completing the "Reach the Crash Site" objective and "rescuing" the first VIP. After this, you must establish outposts at each of the Drone Trailers to regain access to Drone Strikes.

    Note 1: You can't establish outposts until after completing the first objective and gaining access to the base.
    Note 2: You can't obtain more Drone Strikes if your inventory is full.
    Note 3: If you establish both outposts and don't complete the first VIP mission, you'll have access to double Drone Strikes.

    OrangeDetester7Does anyone know if this has to be done in one playthrough?

    Draco719Wanted to also confirm that this does not work in Breakdown. One of the random survivors has the ability.

    HungryNic42Got an issue with this I’m not getting much influence in this dlc to do this achievement. I haven’t reached the crash site yet.

    Throwing the Drone Strike Marker into a danger zone is handy, but here is how you get the drone strike.

    When you start off the game and you are in contact with DOGHOUSE you will have access to Drone Strikes. However, very soon into the game you will loose contact and will therefore loose your ability.

    There are two locations for drones, and from what i have read on the web will sometime be either a drone strike or a drone recon (you get one of each)

    1. NORTH on the highway turn off. For me this was my first and was a recon.
    2. EAST city area OFF the highway behind the supermarket. This was my drone strike.

    Link to a picture - NOT MINE so if the link is broken use the text.

    Assuming you get the recon before you get the strike, I would suggest doing the Eastern Supermarket first.

    Then you can go back to your base and toss it over the green gate on the left of your base (as stated in other solutions). There is a danger zone back there (if you run through it like I did (stupidly at night!))

    There really is no reason for the high ratio of this achievement.

    Jerith GerosYou need both drone outposts, regardless of the order in which you get them. You only get drone recon for the first outpost. The drone strike is the bonus for having both outposts.

    Warboy925Thank you for your comment Jerith, I wasn't sure if the order could change, meaning the supermarket one has a chance to be the drone strike on some playthroughs or the drone recon in others, nice to know that you need both regardless.......

    The way i did this was quick and easy with no threat of dying as in the other solution. Head out of your main base and go toward the highway. Turn left on the road before the highway and continue west of your base. Up ahead you will see a brick wall with a green metal sliding gate. On the other side of this gate is 20 - 30 zombies. Activate the drone strike and chuck it over the gate. The zombies will come from behind the buildings to your left and right and swarm the marker. I got this in 5 uses.

    PinskiThis worked for me. I'd recommend just running to and away from the wall in between drone strikes to allow the zombies to respawn.
