Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to create quick reference for players trying to complete the DLC weapon upgrade challenges. I will add some of my favorite farming locations and I encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments so that I can add them to the guide and credit you.
I'm not very good at formatting so I will do my best to make it as clear as possible. My intentions are to list the primary zombie being farmed in a location as well as secondary zombies that you can farm along the way in case you are working on multiple challenges. It will look something like this:
.....................................................................................................
PRIMARY: (Main zombie to be farmed)
SECONDARY: (Other zombies that could be farmed along the way to the primary zombie)
(info about the farming location)
.....................................................................................................
I recommend you play on easy with 4 player zombies to be as efficient as possible. Some locations will be posted more then once if it has multiple "Primary" zombies. Enjoy the guide!
If you find this guide useful please RATE and FAVORITE!!
Armored Zombie
PRIMARY: Armored Zombie
SECONDARY: Engineer, Zombie Grunts
Located at Molten Nightmare - Night on the Town. Leaving the safe house will lead you to a blood fountain. Activating the blood fountain will spawn about 8 Armored Zombies and ton of Engineers with Zombie grunts mixed in. Zombies will keep coming if you kill them outside of the fountain zone. No more armored zombies will spawn after the initial surge of them.

Located at Zombie Zoo - Planetarium Assault. Leaving the safe house will lead you into an open area where a Necromancer is waiting. Killing that Necromancer will spawn several more. You can use the Necromancers to infinitely kill and revive the Armored Zombies in the arena, you can do this more efficiently by destroying the bodies of other zombies so that only the Armored Zombies are revivable (Thanks for the tip IS0LAT0R). Multiple Snipers will spawn on the outside of the arena after killing a few Necromancers.

Outside the house you will find a handful of Armored Zombies and Grenadiers. Once inside the giant greenhouse you will hit a checkpoint proceed to fight though the green house until you see room with a big rhino statute.

If you wish farm the Heavy Gunner DO NOT proceed past the rhino room, respawn at checkpoint after killing the Heavy Gunner to start back at the beginning of the greenhouse.
