Wow... Spent hours working for the Zombie Genocider achievement only to receive a CRASH.

[OXY]

I was at 14k kills, managed to get to 37k and level up about 10 levels. Game crashes when I hit an explosion tank in the maintenance tunnel even though I hit hundreds of them previously. Also in my first playthrough I encountered one crash when going in to the North Plaza so it has happened to me twice now. Pretty sure it's an issue with the game and not my computer since it runs perfectly.

Not sure if I want to spend hours doing all that again, are there any mods out there that just gives me the Megaman Blaster? I shouldn't have to run back and fourth and save every 5k-10k kills because of the possiblity that the game will crash on me. Maybe it is my fault for not saving but I should be able to play without worrying that it will happen in the first place.

If you have the maintenance key then using the door by the white car will bring you out right next to a save point, It takes a couple of minutes to go there and back again and is well worth doing every 10,000 kills or so.

Sounds handy, where can I find this key?

[NostromoXP]

If you look at the map of the tunnels you should see a T junction in the middle, it is in that room.

Cheers man, should make it a lot easier. :)

That's what on did. On the 360 version and just the other day on the PC version.

The 360 console was prone to overheating (I had a launch model), so even back then, I saved every 5-10K kills. If you go up using the maintance door by the white car in the tunnels, you are RIGHT next to a save point. Take like 2 minutes to save, then you can pick right back up killing.

I actually managed to do it in only about 2.5 hours the other day - drove the Red Car into the tunnels, made a left to go to the Truck beneath the North part of the mall, took the Truck the long way South, looped around the food court circle, then drove to the White Car - and ignored it the first time by turning left and making a second loop through that rectangle of tunnels, then stopped at the White Car when I looped back around. Drove the White Car the reverse path, and when I got near the entrance, made sure to cut over to the center of the tunnels (where the tunnel key room is found), then turnaround and head back to the exit.

1) Something important to note is that a LOT more zombies spawn in a section of tunnel if you've already driven through that part of the tunnel, so looping back on your path is very helpful.

2) Do NOT worry about driving a vehicle until it breaks down. That's inefficient - once you're at the next vehicle and it's time to change over, just do it. Having the vehicle break down in the tunnels will add 5-10 minutes to your run EACH TIME it happens as you are forced to make your way to the next vehicle on foot.

Doing it this way, I was able to get the Achievement 45 minutes to an hour faster than I did on 360. (It helps that the load times are near instaneous on the PC version.)
