    I found the best way to grind kills was on "The Don" mission located at the docks. I switched back and forth between machine guns depending on which type of ammo the enemies were dropping (changes by the area).

    Make your way through the enemies leading up to Big Sal. It may seem like they spawn infinitely but they don't. If you keep moving forward, many enemies seem to run to a predetermined spot before they try to attack you, so you can just pick them off as they run past. I stuck to machine guns and tapped Left Trigger rapidly on distant targets to snap target them (on Easy difficulty). I could manage the run up to Big Sal in less than 5 minutes, killing anywhere from 65 to 75 guys depending on where I ran.

    Once you've killed him, start running back and once you get to the 3 tankers enemies will start spawning behind you. Take a few out then let them kill you to avoid the rest of the run back to the safe zone.

    This method should without a doubt get you the achievement in under 45 minutes if you've completed the story, which I finished with about 400 kills.

    JustSaiyan2523A good method for sure. Think the 45 mins timer is a bit optimistic :) I had 400 kills when I started and it took me at least 2-3 hours using this method.

    You'll get this by replaying missions in the game. By the time I was done with all missions i had 600 kills. The remaining 400 i got on the mission Sound and Furry which has quick easy kills (Top right on map by Bruski).

    Start it up and run forward towards objective, equip machine gun, kill 2 enemies on the right behind fence, cover behind white car, shoot the 3 enemies running in the far back, then the guy on the left, last one around the corner to the left. This will get you x7 combo. reload last checkpoint and redo. This will take between half an hour to an hour to get 400 kills.

    The SCHWARTZ 00Much better solution than doing The Don over and over. The enemies are right there and you can finish each "cycle" in less than a minute. I went from 100 kills to 500 in an hour+.

    !!! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE GOING FOR MASSACRE !!!

    As someone mentioned before, if you got Millionaire achievement with drop-through-the-floor-in-the-shop glitch, prior getting Massacre then the latter might not unlock for you (and Explorer as well). So this is possibly partial solution for Massacre not unlocking at 1000 kills.

    So here it goes: I said it's partial because if you have save file with more than 1000 kills this won't work for you. Achievement system just tracks hitting 1000 threshold, not 1010 or 1200. (Bad coding example...).

    So here's my "story" and what I did (step by step) to unlock the achievement.

    1. I've got Millionaire achievement with above mentioned glitch.
    2. I did not have the Explorer achievement at that moment.
    3. IMPORTANT! I was replaying The Don mission to get 1000 kills, but I SAVED THE GAME (subs on/off method) when I got 993 kills. Let the enemies kill you at this point.
    4. IMPORTANT! Started The Don mission again, but when I hit 1007 kills with NO Massacre achievement unlocked, I quit to dashboard without saving (just power off console or quit to dashboard from the game without returning back to menu or saving the game).
    5. Just to be safe I copied Mafia II save file to Flash drive.
    6. Started the game.
    7. Selected Jimmy's Vendetta and pointed to Flash drive when asked. After game has started I checked that I still have 993 kills;
    8. Pressed Continue and started The Don mission (can be any mission I think);
    9. After exactly 7 kills Bang!!! achievement poped, saving me a lot of time and nerves instead of redoing it on the fresh save!

    REMINDER: If you just started your way towards 1000 kills DO NOT FORGET to save somewhere between 990 and 999 kills.

    Hope this will help to those of you who just going after Massacre cheevo or for those who have save file with less than 1000 kills.

    This is confirmed as working method.

    M I K 3 ID vSo should I be getting the Massacre achievement before or after I get the Millionaire achievement? Many thanks.

    Serge GoujonIt's safer to get the Massacre achievement first.

    BeatStradivariMillionaire and Explorer were two of my first achievements of the DLC. I used the exploit. I had no problem unlocking Massacre afterwards. It popped at exactly 1000 kills.
