Step 1: Locate your save file

It should be in

<steam install folder>/userdata/<id>/202750/remote

if you have cloud saves enabled.

The file is named "config"

Step 2: Open the file

Open the file in an hex editor. If you do not have one installed you can use this one [hexed.it] (browser based, no install needed). This is the one I'll be using.

Just drag the file on the website and it should open.

Step 3: Get a kill

Now while keeping the page open, get 1 kill in the game.

Step 4: Find the differences

Now open the file again by dragging it inside the website again, and you should see 2 small tabs named "config" at the top of the file contents.

Switch between the 2 and you should see 1 byte changing: that's the first byte of the number, click on it. If you're unlucky and see 2 adjacent bytes changing, click the first one.

Step 5: The number!

Now look on the left, there should be a section labeled "32-bit Integer", look at the number next to it, that's your kill count!
