    The fastest ways I've found to kill zombies are fairly obvious - run them over with a sturdy car and antagonize plague hearts (although this is very dangerous). Right at the top, know that kills your followers get do not count, nor do friends kills count in co-op. (EDIT: Since this isn't clear, this is cumulative over all playthroughs you have in State of Decay 2.)

    Running them over
    Running them over is the safest bet, but it takes more work. The best way I found would be to have the auto lot in a large slot on your base, upgrade a medium size car and then mowing them down as you have tons of repair kits and fuel canisters. As ProfessorX 86 said, make sure to keep slamming on the horn or have the sirens rolling (on an ambulance or police car) to get zombies around you to come in. If you upgrade vehicles with sirens, however, the siren is removed (Thanks Luna go sky and AES0P). It has also been mentioned in the comments (thanks again AES0P) that the Auto Shop has an ability to reduce car damage for an hour.

    EDIT: In addition to this, Pulzy 21 brought up some good points I forgot to mention about the car idea. You want to make sure that you have a steady stream of parts and materials for this. Parts help you make repair kits with a fully upgraded workshop. These are the key to the car idea (gas cans are easier to get than repair kits in the wild). Ideally, a base would have a workshop or a forge, and an auto shop as a base to make sure you get the most out of the car idea. Breaking down materials rucksacks also net you 30+ parts a shot and I've noticed that seems to be the better bet when your base is already at 30+ materials and you just need parts fast. There is also a slight chance that breaking apart the rucksack will net you a repair kit. Good luck!

    EDIT: Zarda1 had a good idea for those without sirens - remap the horn to a button that is easier for you to hold down. The accessories app on Xbox should allow you to remap. Also, for those with an Elite controller, I'd advise putting it to a paddle.

    DLC CONTENT EDIT: With the introduction of the Independence Day Pack, I thought I'd mention that the three new vehicles - Pyrohawk (a hatchback that shoots off fireworks), the Burninator (a truck with side-mounted flamethrowers), and the Meatwagon (a cargo van that drops delicious red meat) will all greatly help kill and attract zombies. The pack is free for this with the Ultimate Edition, but $4.99 USD otherwise.

    SECOND CONTENT EDIT: Dr Scruffleton is reporting that the Church on The Hill base available on the hills map (Cascade Hills) has a bell tower that constantly attracts zombies to your base. Driving around blaring the horn is apparently a nice way to attract zombies to your location at the base. Whitney field Base in Meagher Valley has the same effect (thanks AES0P for the hyper passive-aggressive comment).

    DLC Update - Daybreak: User Skeletaidonut had this to say about Daybreak: "For anyone reading this the Daybreak DLC counts towards total killed and if you complete all 7 waves you can get upwards of 700 kills a match."

    PERSONAL EDIT: I was able to kill 3.9k zombies in 4 hours and 25 minutes. So, it is possible to kill that many zombies in an hour, but I also have a follower with the "Driver" trait that gives 100% fuel efficiency and 30% impact reduction. Highly recommend finding that trait if possible and having an auto shop roll the 30% impact reduction as well.

    Feel free to comment with ways to improve the solution.

    FINAL EDIT: As more DLC's come out, be sure to check the comments as the most up to date information could be in there. In general, this achievement is best won via running over zombies in any of the modes. Horde mode gives you more chances, but you can naturally get this in your playthrough. Before any of the DLC's, as my edit mentions, this only took a few hours at most so it can only be faster now.

    the best solution I found after finishing the game, and having a considerable loot
    was to give level 3 some facilities in the base
    Radio Tower
    Workshop
    Deposit
    and have 5 gas outposts
    this way you will have endless resources per day
    5-6 gasolines
    and the workshop dismantling broken guns, and those pieces of guns

    Gasoline and Screws
    to make the toolboxes for cars when they break

    so with the fastest car in the game in 2 hours, you can kill many zombies, activate the horn all the time
    and the more hordes you have on the map, the better
    do not kill the howler, it will attract more random zombies to the horde

    I made this video live on Mixer yesterday to help
    is my first guide, so sorry for any mistake

    Sorry for the Google Translator

    I speak Portuguese, English is not my forte.
    I hope they can unlock or achievement

    For this achievement I made sure
    -Choose trader as leader/builder boon from previous playthrough
    - choose Meagher valley
    - Get Squelones brewery asap (1500 influence, 6 survivors)
    - Use 1 large slot for trading post
    - 3 small slots for hydrophonics, 1 workshop,1 infirmary, and the other large slot auto shop
    - Make influence from brewing packs of crafted beer (cost 3 food but with 3 hydrophonics and using seeds on them you should be pulling 16-20 food a DAY in)
    - call traders for ANYTHING (this is were the trader leadership comes in handy- the ability to call traders to your base assuming you’ve made the TRADING OUTPOST) your missing, supplies!!, get a CNC saw installed (again bought from traders/found in the world) and convert supplies to parts for your TOOLBOXES -you buy all your FUELBAGS from TRADERS and use the storage icon to convert into actual fuel for your vehicle. use the 3-4 outposts for bed slots, or whatever you want.

    It’s upto you what vehicle you want to use but I’d HIGLY recommend the Maximilion, get a medium vehicle upgrade kit on it to make it the MEGA MAX (which can be bought from calling a parts trader to your base) I say this because I tried using the road racer etc and I found the handling very stiff, with the maximilion you can pull on the stick and whip the car round better than any other vehicle I’ve come across - also I’d put the horn in the settings to an easier default button, I chose ‘B’ which was the handbrake (won’t need it in maximilion)

    Anyway use your self efficient running base to craft all the supplies you need whilst your out on road runs smashing zeds - fill the trunk up with fuel and your invent with tool boxes and 1 fuel can i was using 2-3 tool boxes per fuel canister - I feel like I’ve rambled on a lot, one last thing if anyone reads this message my GT I’ve lots and lots of spare tool boxes, gas cans and influence (10k+) so ill stock you up as much as I can 🤗
