    UPDATE: Cleaned this up a bit with some more info and a more direct walkthrough.

    There is a much faster method that won't require you to actually do this on 50 different days.

    Each cycle ("day") takes about 12 minutes (assuming you can get 200 kills in 10 minutes), so in total this takes about 10 hours.

    First of all I recommend installing the game to hard drive as this will reduce load times and also save your 360 constantly starting/stopping reading the disk as you return to dashboard each time.

    1. Before you even start the game, go to your Dashboard. Go to System Settings > Console Settings > Clock > Time Zone. Scroll all the way to the top and select "GMT -12 Tokelau".

    2. Now start the game (do this quickly by hitting the Guide button and selecting 'Play Unreal Tournament 3' at the bottom) and get your 200 kills "for the day" - see below for a fast method of getting 200 kills.

    3. Once the game ends, "Disconnect" (press start and hit Y) to go back to the game's main menu and then return to your System Settings (do this quickly by hitting the Guide button, moving right to the Settings tab, then selecting 'System Settings'). Return to the Time Zone setting as before, but this time scroll all the way to the bottom and select "GMT +14 Kiribati".

    4. Restart the game. Changing your timezone tricked the game into thinking it's now a different day. The game doesn't actually make sure you get the kills on 50 distinct days, it just checks whether the current date is different from the last time you played and decides that it is a "new" day.

    5. Get another 200 kills. Once the game ends, again return to main menu before going back to Dashboard, then simply rinse and repeat from step 1.

    As for getting the 200 kills each cycle, I personally recommend the following setup:

    Multiplayer > Host Match
    Deathmatch
    Map: Rising Sun (some prefer Morbias Arena, I like to switch it up to prevent boredom)
    Player Match with min players set to 1 and max/private set to 16
    Bot Skill Level: Novice
    Goal Score: 0
    Time Limit: 10
    Force Respawn: Yes

    Hit X to set Mutators and add Super Berserk and Weapon Replacement by selecting them and hitting Y. Now configure Weapon Replacement by selecting it and hitting X and change every weapon to Enforcer. Hit A (not B) to go back to the settings menu so that the mutators save, then start the game and cut through bots with dual enforcers, easily getting 200 kills within 10 minutes.

    Brenin Watson*on an Xbox 360 just to be specific.

    BlitzGreg89Edit: I just unlocked the achievement so the method works on Series S/X as well if you don't have access to a 360.

    Edit 2: Just wanted to make things more clear for anyone interested


    On an xbox one or Series S/X navigate to Settings--->System----> Time--->Time Zone

    Scroll to the very top and you'll find (UTC-12:00) change your existing time zone to this.

    Launch the game and get your 200 kills. This is easily done on Morbius Arena, I usually had 2:30 to 3 minutes remaining so I idled the match until time ran out.

    When I saw the game had saved and the next match was loading I'd quit to the main menu. Close the game/Quit to dashboard.

    IF YOU'RE ON SERIES S OR X make sure the game has closed rather than being in quick resume. I imagine that if you leave it in quick resume the game will not register the change in "days"

    Go back to Settings and Time then change it to (UTC+14:00) Kiritimati Island. Get your 200 kills again. Follow the other steps I mentioned, then change back to (UTC-12:00)

    Rinse and repeat: its exactly as OP said just on a different console.

    Edit 3: Just in case it needs to be mentioned DON'T forget to switch back to your native time zone when taking a break from the grind/upon finishing the achievement.

    Easiest way:

    - Host an online game, 16 players, 16 private slots
    - Deathmatch, map 'Morbias'
    - Bots on easiest setting
    - Kill Limit 0, Time Limit 10
    - Mutators: Weapon Replacement, Super Berserk

    Put all weapons to the enforcer, and play the game. Fairly easy to get Monster Kills and 25 kill streaks; usually get 200 kills total in 8 minutes. Wait for the round to finish, repeat again the next day!

    Note: Redeemer in the middle spawns about 3 times. Make use if you like...!

    Hanxlol I think if people have this achievement they should take the hint

    finallife6if your scared of kills not counting put the kill limit to 50 since your 200th kill will result in a saving icon right when it happens

    z RagnaroK zI can confirm that you DO NOT have to finish the match for the kills to count. You must ensure that it gives the "saving" icon when you quit out of the match though. The achievement also popped in match for me. Nothing like waiting til the day of to finish off these achievements that I've had on my to-do list for 23 years... lol

    Best of luck to anyone trying to finish up before the servers close down!

    Multi console setup like this.

    Host Match
    Deathmatch
    Morbias Arena (smallest with no health regen and only a supernuke)
    Max Players 16
    Private Slots, 16
    Bot Skill Level Novice
    Goal Score 0
    Time Limit 10
    Force Respawn On

    Mutators:
    Weapons Respawn
    Weapon Replacement (all to the Enforcers)
    Super Berserk

    Do this setup till the servers close and somewhere you'll get the achievement. It will pop on your 200th kill on the 50th day. I personally got about 250 - 325 kills in the 10 minute time limit.

    Once you finish a game for a day, wait for it to end then disconnect with Y at the end of the match and then make sure it says Saving... in the top right hand corner of the main menu,

    TonySkiIt means that if you do this setup till the end of time, sometime before the stars flicker out you'll get the achievement.

    So for those who have the hardware to use 3 consoles, and have access to 3 gold accounts (or 2 via Home Console trick), I found a way that may be twice as fast.

    Using 3 consoles, I had access to 5 players.
    Console 1; secondary account from the Shared gold, 1 player, host of the lobby.
    Console 2; secondary gold account, 2 players split-screen.
    Console 3; main account going for the achievement, 2 players split-screen.

    Using the account that's not split-screen, I created a CTF lobby in multiplayer, obviously a player match, not ranked;

    Capture the Flag
    Map: Facing Worlds
    Maximum players doesn't matter
    Bots Disabled
    Goal Score: 1
    Time Limit: 10
    Force Respawn: Yes

    For mutators I used Speed Freak, Instagib and Low grav.

    once the lobby is up, join with the other secondary account with 2 players, then join with your main account. That should automatically put you in the 2 players team.

    Just run to the enemy spawn, press X to use the translocator, with low grav, it basically flies across the map lol.

    go behind the enemy base and stand opposite the enemies, and murder the 3 enemies over and over. Should take 5 minutes.

    Once over 200, capture the flag to end the game, I didn't wait for the next match to start, I just pressed Y, went to menu, waited for the "Save" icon, then quit the game out completely.
    Then change the time using the trick from the other guides, reboot the game, sign in your guest again and just do quick match to rejoin your still-running lobby.

    You cut on lobby creation time and kill times. Took me about 4-5 hours.
