    Actions
    Whenever you see a special enemy type (Toxic Zombies, Lurkers, Bulls, etc) don't rush into killing them cause you otherwise won't be able to mark them. Look directly at them and press cn_up. When you do this successfully it will mark the special zombie in a red outline. Do this a total of 50 times and you will have your achievement.

    You can boost this even faster by completely ignoring the special zombies (Easiest with bull, just don't shoot it) and repeatedly mark and unmark the target with the same button.

    WTB Mr BlondeMines bugged too, but at 0%, won't register any specials I mark. Have tried cold booting Xbox and game, done latest update, tried on a different console. Nothing works! So frustrating! Wish they would fix this and the 100 games of PvE cheevo too!

    Jennitiger1138Mines stuck on 0% also, hopefully they are aware of this, game is grindy enough as it is without stuff not counting.


    Edit. I have messaged them via Facebook, will update if/when I get a reply.

    Edit 2. Reply from Sabre "Hello. We are aware of the issues with achievements. New patch is coming this week. Please report us if there will be any problems after the patch release." Hopefully this will resolve it.

    Launched the game for the first time in a few months the other day and this achievement randomly popped at the main menu. Pretty weird but glad they finally fixed it.

    TuKraZeOK, I don't know if they made this easier or whether it is just bugged (in a good way) because I just spammed up on the Dpad whilst looking at a special zombie and got it within seconds of trying.

    DadmixYeah i think its working now,saying that i always start up from a hard start & not instant on. I wouldnt have thought that was the issiue rather a work around i would have guessed the problem lied at the companys end.
    Either way as it makes no difference it does seem to be working normally.
