How to unlock the On the Razor's Edge achievement

    To get this achievement, you must kill 100 5 enemies inside the Hivebuster Venom. Now you may initially believe "Hivebuster Venom" means where you're taking damage, but it actually doesn't. This is why the achievement is called "On the Razor's Edge" because it's referring to being in the light green area that comes before the dark green area that gives you damage. Just refer to your lower right mini map to see when you are standing in the light green area. You also be able to see venom particles floating around the room while in these areas, but as I said before, you will not be taking damage yet.

    My achievement tracker oddly didn't work for this achievement, so that's why I thought I had to be doing something wrong, but just keep getting kills in the light green areas and you should be fine.

    Here is a picture to better understand what "light green areas" mean:

    CraiglionheartFor me this would only work on the Venom Run map.

    Robster80I got this by dumb luck... was going for a different achievement playing as Clayton Carmine and I killed several enemies in one area at the start of a daily map and it popped for me.

    Alex Sobecki's guide isn't wrong; it just doesn't provide enough information, imo. Special thanks to the commenters on his solution as well.

    The achievement can be done solo.
    From the main menu, select 'MULTIPLAYER' > 'ESCAPE'.
    Move right to 'CUSTOM', move right to 'HOST PRIVATE' and press cn_A to create a private lobby.
    Change the map to 'VENOM RUN' (currently the final map).
    You might as well select the 'BEGINNER' difficulty as well.
    Press cn_X to start the match.
    Equip your rebreather and get swallowed! shock

    Run forward through the map until the biohazard countdown hits zero and the venom is triggered.

    Now keep an eye on your minimap.
    Stay within the light green area without letting the darker green encroach on you (as this harms you).
    The first 5 enemies are D.B.s and can all be executed by walking behind them and pressing cn_B.
