    No need to be invisible, can be done with any Warframe.

    Mission: Cambria on Earth

    This mission has loads of long ziplines every time, use a bow or other silent weapon, there are patrolling Grineer-soldiers in every area, plus there will be wild kubrows which spawn from kubrow dens, just keep shooting the dens and more kubrow will come out.


    2022 edit. Solution seems to be outdated, so I'll add TG Airborne 88:s solution.

    "My suggestion would lead to having a Loki frame. Have any bow, go to planet Mars, mission Kadesh. It's a defense type with infestation to kill.

    Just wait for a bunch to gather around the pod, go invisible, jump on the zip line and get about 2-4 kills per time done."

    Kovy88Ok, thanks. I edited your method to the solution.

    TG Airborne 88No problem. I was trying to find the most suitable mission where you can get this the fastest way without too much of a hassle. I had to progress all the way from Venus where I left off 5 years ago laugh to eventually stumble on this one.
    Might I add it's best to do this till wave 3, cos at 4 the ancients spawn and you simply cannot one shot kill 'em which takes up too much time from the invisibility.
    Ps: upvoted your solution now.

    Gilbert PrimeI don't think the original solution is outdated and I did it today with my starter Excalibur. On the Earth mission Cervantes, every time I came across a zip line, I would camp up there and headshot Grineer with my normal noisy Lato pistol at a distance. New ones would spawn in every 20 seconds although they seemed to stop coming after about 12 kills. Nevertheless I got this done using 3 sniping spots in a single mission.

    Malva sector on Venus is a Dark Sector Excavation, level 10-20 and how I got this achievement. Unfortunately, with the starchart change, it is no longer an excavation but a survival. If it's the same map though, that should work well if you can go into a stealth mode. A potential substitute according to Geoffistopheles is Venus - Kiliken with level 5-7 Corpus, although not as good as infested.

    I used Loki for the invisibility, and this map because one of the Corpus tilesets spawns you right next to several zip lines on a roof. That is one of the only tilesets in any mission that has native zip lines and is fairly easy to access.

    The tileset spawn you want spawns you on a roof near some ziplines. If you don't get the roof spawn, abort the mission, and start it again. I got it 1st try, then 4th try doing this.

    From there, just jump down off the roof, activate the Extractor, wait for it to die to the infested, then run through or around the building back to the ziplines. If you stand under them and press cn_X it will automatically put you onto the lower one if you're standing close enough!

    So, get the Infested to follow you there, activate Invisibility, jump onto the zipline and kill the Infested with a silent weapon(I used Loki's mod Hushed Invisibility which makes weapons silent while invisible). Otherwise a bow would work well if it's strong enough.

    The Infested will keep spawning, just lead them to the zip line if they aren't close enough, and it goes fast! I got all 30 in a couple minutes.

    Note: I have Ivara, but she's at level 1, so I couldn't test out her ziplines. If you don't have Ivara, Loki works really well on this map! If you don't have Ivara OR Loki, Loki's invisibility unlocks sooner than Ivara's Prowl by a few levels.

    GeoffistophelesAs a heads up, Malva is no longer a Dark Sector Excavation, but Survival. I did this on Venus - Kiliken with level 5-7 Corpus, though it wasn't as good as it would've been with Infested.

    Shadow 00 FoxThanks for the note--are there any other dark sector's available with ziplines that you've seen?

    I used Ivara for this. Very easy, because you can use her Dashwire arrow to create a zipline just about anywhere on the map. Get up on the zipline and use Prowl to go invisible. Even if the enemies are aware of your presence, once you go into Prowl, they become unaware without having to reset the alarm. Then use a Bow or any silenced weapon to get your kills. Pick a map on Earth, so everything is a 1-shot kill.

    You can probably use Loki too, but you'll have to find a zipline somewhere on the map.

    Ivara is 100% unobtainable and this achievement is also unobtainable. No one has it.
