    Just select the last chapter of the no mercy campaign on easy (best is to just do it in single player with AI, they will stand behind you and kill the infected hitting you in the back) and just rush straight towards the end make the 2 calls and run up on the roof and get on the turret. Kill the first wave of zombies with the turret until the tank comes, kill the tank and get back on the turret to kill the second wave of zombies until the second tank comes. You should be able to get around 100 kills each time before the helicopter comes. There are other parts obviously with turrets and lot of enemies, I just prefered this one.

    CurtiesonDead Air on Survival is the way to go with this Achievement.

    there are maybe 5 spawn paths, 3 are straight in the guns sights, 1 is right at the edge of it's range, you may get half the people that are running at you, and the 5th is behind you on the left. I would get about 100-150 each time, and survive about 3 minutes.

    Shadow XBLI feel like all of these solutions don't seem to take into account all of the specials that are around. When you are on a turret, 90% of the time a smoker grabs you.

    Load up the DLC "Crash Course" finale. Then play through the full level until you get to the generator. Start it up once(ONLY ONCE). Then kill the two tanks that will spawn. Once that is done the generator will kick off (AS LONG AS YOU DON'T RESTART IT IT'LL SPAWN INFINITE AMOUNT OF HOARDS OF ZOMBIES) Then jump on the turret behind the rescue vehicle (its on top and to get on it jump on the two cardboard boxes). Then just spray zombies for about 20 minutes and it's yours. Pay attention to where the hoards spawn as you'll rack up the most amount of kills, killing the ones coming from the fence to your left and the crates in front of you.

    -TIP if you select a molotov, pipebomb, or health kit before you get on the turret it'll make your cross hairs like they would be as if you hadnt got on the turret which improves the accuracy just a tad.

    ;D if negative vote just let me know how i can improve my solution. Good luck sprayin' down ZOMMMMBIEEEEZZ!

    Shadow XBLI just tried this and a third Tank spawned after all my teammates got in the vehicle. So I got knocked across the room and murdered. Just wanted to note that this doesn't always work as advertised. I was on "easy" too.

    DetsEightyOnelol, worked fine for me, gotta watch those 3 tanks LOL 3 tanks ALWAYS SPAWN, was going to put this very same solution up then I checked and saw some incredibly clever like minded individual had beat me by a couple of years ;) also counts towards "littlest genocide" and "zombie genocidist" cheevos.. Thanks and keep killing those ZOMMMMBIEEEZZ ;)

    MashedPeas11Late to the party on this one, but to anyone reading in 23, make sure you’re playing on Campaign and not Single Player. You won’t get the option to restart the generator otherwise.

    No Mercy's Easy finale really is the way to go. Just keep playing, always on the minigun, with either AI or your friends, and just watch it go up.

    If you go in the pause or main menu of Left 4 Dead and press 'Achievements', you can see how far you are to getting Red Mist.

    Survival mode's Death Toll - The Streets also works well.

    Hope this helps.
