*The easiest way to acquire this achievment is to get the map "Charred pit" on "Braaaains, rip off the turret and walk to the hallway in front of the sword room. stay ther until you are last man standing and everyone will rush in there. However you must stay away from the pile of boxes and stand near the wall. be sure not to drop the turret, for you can not pick it back up. | |||
*One way to get this achievement is on the Pit during a Swords match. If one is very skilled with a sword, one can gain Triple Kill, Overkill, and Steppin' Razor, and even Killing Frenzy, on the same game. | *One way to get this achievement is on the Pit during a Swords match.

*Another way to get this, is if the game is Swords, and it is on a small map like Epitaph. Just go right into the battlefield and let people come to you. They will usually gravitate towards the same spot (Guardian, the middle) (Snowbound, right next to the cave entrance in the ground, or underground) The only hard part about this is that sometimes the "sword-battles" will take a little long, causing you to lose the "under 4 seconds part.". Note that each player has two starting Frag Grenades, so take advantage of it to kill a player from a distance and also beware of others using it. | *Another way to get this, is if the game is Swords, and it is on a small map like Epitaph.

*A harder way (yet still entirely do-able) to obtain the achievement is to sit at the top of the single (yellow) gravity lift on Construct, and go out of your way to attract players there. Should you be successfull in attracting several people and kill them without dieing hopefully they will come back for revenge (hopefully taking the lift), allowing you the oppertunity to kill several players at once with the sword or assault rifle/melee combo. | *A harder way (yet still entirely do-able) to obtain the achievement is to sit at the top of the single (yellow) gravity lift on Construct, and go out of your way to attract players there.

*It was also easily obtained in the Ranked Living Dead Double EXP Weekend Playlist, because Zombies in a few gametypes were weak, and getting an Overkill with either Battle Rifle, Magnum, Shotgun or Machine Gun Turret on different "Infection" modified maps prove to easy if one goes to where Zombies spawn and "Spawn Kill" them, or if a Zombie gets lucky and sneaks in a Camping spot where Humans are and they are unaware that a Zombie has infiltrated their camping spot. If you get to play the infection variant "Braaaainsss..." on the Foundry variant "Infected Manor" try to get onto on of the turrets (preferably the right one) you can easily get an overkill as the game progresses. | *It was also easily obtained in the Ranked Living Dead Double EXP Weekend Playlist, because Zombies in a few gametypes were weak, and getting an Overkill with either Battle Rifle, Magnum, Shotgun or Machine Gun Turret on different "Infection" modified maps prove to easy if one goes to where Zombies spawn and "Spawn Kill" them, or if a Zombie gets lucky and sneaks in a Camping spot where Humans are and they are unaware that a Zombie has infiltrated their camping spot.
