Dastardly 5
Place a hogtied woman on the train tracks, and witness her death by train.
Before you can attempt this achievement you will need to lasso, which you earn from Bonnie in the early missions. Once you do have it you can lasso and hogtie any women you desire, though there are some, which are easier than others. If you don't want to damage your fame or honor you can buy a bandana from Thieves' Land at the tailors shop.
Once you have either item you can now lasso your victim. Lasso and hogtie the lady of choice and place her on your horse. You can now make your way to the train track, check your map to see where the active train is. You will be looking for red train icon following the tracks. Head towards the train and play your victim on the tracks by pressing . Now just stand back and watch as the train plows down your victim and the achievement unlocks.
Spurred to Victory 10
Complete 20 story missions without switching to a new horse at a hitching post.
You will start the game with a default horse; you can either change your horse or stick to the one you are given. Just progress through the story without swamping your horse for 20 story missions.
I suggest you do this from the start of the game and progress through all the story missions until the achievement unlocks. You can hitch your horse, though if you mount another horse by mistake and hitch that one you will loose your progress.
You don't need to hitch your horse in this game so there is no real need. You can call your horse at any time by pressing and the horse you have always used will come running. If your horse dies your counter for this achievement will reset.

Heading South on a White Bronco 5
Evade the US Marshals while riding the Hungarian Half-Bred horse in Single Player.
Before you start this you will need to break a Hungarian Half-Bred (white horse with a dark face). Once you have broken the horse you can then buy the deed for that specific horse, activate the deed from your satchel and you can call the horse you require.
If you don't want this to affect your current progress I suggest you save in one of the empty slots. Stock up on ammo and make your way to any town. You will now need to start killing law enforcement, after you have killed 20 law enforcers you can now leave town and lose your wanted level. You're now going to need to ride around for a while until a notice pops up on your screen telling you the US Marshals have found you. One this happens you need to outrun them and escape. Evading the Marshals won't be as easy compared to outlaws, law enforcement or posses as they are highly skilled.
You can evade them by either killing them or running and loosing your wanted level.
The Quick and Everyone Else... 20
Be the top scoring player in any three consecutive FFA games in public matches.
Winning three consecutive Free For All games requires you to play three games none stop and win each one. If you quit out or decide to join another FFA session your progress will be lost.
You will either have to be very lucky or be very good at the various game modes that you will enter.
Boosting Method:
Join a public free roam session with a friend. Establish a Posse and go to any FFA game marker on the map. Make sure you're away from other players in a quiet section of the map. Now that you're both in a Posse walk up to the FFA Game Marker and press together. This will start a game lobby with both players. Press and hold to start the game.
Now you should both be in a lobby together, press to start force start the game. Allow whoever is going first to win the duel, then the person who isn't going to win the round quits out of multiplayer. Exit back out to your main game.
The player who is going for the three consecutive wins now needs to invite their friends back into the game. You should both be back in the same lobby, keep repeating this process until one player has all three wins.
If other players join your game lobby vote to kick them out so they don't interfere with the outcome.
How the West Was Won 20
Reach the top rank for multiplayer experience.
You will be required to play various online modes to rank up your character to level 50. This is a rather slow process but should come at a fair speed while playing online. You will earn XP for various activities you take part in, as well as killing other playings and completing objectives.
•Rank 10 - 8910 xp
•Rank 20 - 42810 xp
•Rank 30 - 106710 xp
•Rank 40 - 203910 xp
•Rank 50 - 337110 xp
As you progress through each rank you will earn new rewards such as weapons, horses, game modes, PVP Challenges and Free Roam Challenges. Just progress at your own speed and you should hit level 50 in no time.
You can replay hideouts as many times as you like, if you keep doing this on your own in a private match you can earn anywhere between 1,500xp and 3,000xp per hideout.
Go Team! 20
Be on the winning team for four consecutive victories in any team based game in public matches.
This may seem impossible but it's not as hard as you might think. Join any Gang Matches and keep playing until you have four consecutive wins. You may join many games and miss out on the achievement by one win, just keep playing and you will soon earn this achievement with little to no effort.
See "The Quick and Everyone Else..." for boosting method.
Most Wanted 10
Become a Public Enemy for 10 minutes and escape alive in a public Free Roam session.
This has to be completed in a public match.
In theory this isn't too difficult, but it depends on the odds of being killed by another player. You can do this just about anywhere you can hide from the law, such as hiding on top of a building, or in an area where the AI can't reach you. There is a large red brick building across from the train station in Blackwater. You can hide on top of this building for 10 minutes and pick off various civilians and law enforcement. Raise your bounty to $1,000 and you will become a public enemy. You can now just sit and wait for 10 minutes (real time). Once the 10 minutes are over you need to get on your horse and escape the law enforcers. If they don't spot you when getting down from the building you will get away with little effort.
If you are having difficulty with this on your own have a friend or posse back you up. Once you have your horse keep running until you outrun the law enforcement.
Slow on the Draw 10
Get 10 assists in a single Hideout in a public Free Roam session.
This can either be done with friends, or own your own with random players. The best way is to rush ahead and shot all the enemies in the leg. This doesn't always register as an assisted kill when another player kills a wounded enemy. If you get to the end of the hideout without earning the achievement, either start again or move onto the next hideout and do the same again.
If you're doing this with a friend tell them which enemy you are going to shoot so they can quickly finish them off. You may also kill another enemy your partner(s) have attacked. This will also count towards the achievement. If you see assisted "gamertag" on the right hand side of the screen it has registered towards the achievement.
Hit the Trail 10
Get from Blackwater to Escalera before sundown in a public Free Roam session.
Before you start this make sure the clock on the start menu has at least 6 or so hours of light. The sun rises at 6am and sets at around 5pm, use the transport hubs to make your way up to Blackwater. Bring up your map and then move down to the bottom left hand corner and place a marker at Escalera. Once you're ready make your way from Blackwater down to Escalera, be careful to avoid other players, as most will shoot at you regardless.
Make sure that Blackwater and Escalera have appeared at least once on your screen so you know that you're in the right area. If you're slightly outside the town areas it will not register that you have entered the town.
Unnatural Selection 20
Kill one of every animal species in the game in any game mode.
You will encounter animals of various sorts as you play through the game. Some you will encounter on a regular basis, others you will have to search for carefully. Find and kill each of the following animals to complete the requirements for this achievement:

Bullseye 20
Get 250 headshots in any game mode.
All single player and multiplayer kills count towards this achievement. You will need to earn kills online or offline, they do not stack towards the same same statistics.
This may come naturally to some players, but not so much to other players. The easiest way to earn headshots is to use your dead eye and aim for the head. This way there is no way you can miss. To use dead eye click in your and the screen will change colour and slow everything down. This will give you time to line up your shots.
Gold Medal 25
Earn a Gold Medal Rank for a combat mission in Single Player.
Earning a gold medal any of the combat missions requires you to earn a set time, accuracy and headshots. Once you start a combat mission make sure your shots count and aim for the head. Use your Dead Eye ability as much as possible to increase your chances of a perfect shot.
You can keep track of your mission progress by pressing and selecting stats. You will then find a sub-menu called missions. Here you can see all your badges for each missions, you will also be able to select any mission and replay it.
Most missions are fairly easy once you know what to do. You will either get this from natural progression or by replaying a mission you know really well. Always skip cut-scenes as they add to your mission time. Try replaying the missions "Cowards Die Many Times", "Lucky In Love" and any of the Home missions.
You will be accounted for accuracy, time and headshots within the missions. Try not to miss headshots as this will ruin your final score.
On the Trail of de Vaca 10
Uncover every location on the map in Single Player.
There are 94 locations in total through the whole of the map, visiting each location may take a while depending on what activities you are taking part in. Just progress through the game at your own progress and you should find most locations with little to no effort. You can use the following map to find all the locations you may be missing:
Map of all locations
(This map does not include hideout locations, see "Instinto Asesino" for the hideout location map)
Alternatively instead of using the above map you can keep track of your progress from your Rockstar Social profile if you have one. This profile may not update instantly so you may want to keep checking it.
Friends in High Places 10
Use a pardon letter with more than $5000 bounty in Single Player.
You will be given your first pardon letter by Seth, instead of using it hold onto the letter and just pay off the bounty instead. If you do use this pardon letter early on, you can earn more by completing the hideout side missions. I suggest you make a new save and attempt this away from your main save file. Once you have completed the requirements you can then load back your original save and continue playing through the story.
Once you have access to The North you can then make your way to Blackwater. On the western side of town you will find a train station. Just across the street is a large red brick building, which has the title "Welcome to Blackwater" painted on the site. Climb to the top of this building and start killing people. You can stand at the top of the ladder and pick people off as you see them. If you span the camera around from the town hall lawn to the train station you will find an infinite loop of AI civilians. Keep killing people until you reach $5,000 bounty. You can now duck behind cover on top of the building and wait for your wanted level to vanish.
Once your wanted level has dropped make a run for the train station and use your pardon letter to void your bounty. Do not shoot anyone as you make your way to the train station, if you do your wanted level will go back up and using the letter won't be possible.

Buckin' Awesome 10
Break the Kentucky Saddler, the American Standardbred, and the Hungarian Half-bred.
Before you can attempt this you will need to earn the lasso and complete the tutorial mission "Wild Horses, Tamed Passions". This mission will show you how to lasso and break a horse. Once you have completed the tutorial you can then proceed to find the horses required for this achievement.
Kentucky Saddler: (Story Related)
This horse is a pale golden colour, you will be rewarded with this horse for completed the "Wild Horses, Tamed Passions" mission.
American Standardbred: (Great Plains/Tall Trees)
The Standardbred stands out from the rest of the horses due to its black colour. This is probably the most obvious horse in a herd.
Hungarian Half-bred: (Mexico)
This horse tends to blend in with other horses due to its white colouring and dark face. Some of the other pale coloured horses look the same from a distance.
Fightin' Around the World 5
Knock someone out in melee in every saloon in the game in Single Player.
There are seven saloons throughout the various towns. Once you enter a saloon equip your fists by holding the and selecting fist with the . Once inside, pick a fight with whomever and knock them out. Do this in all seven saloons and the achievement will unlock.

•Casa Madrugada
•Blackwater
Map of saloon locations
Note: Make sure you're inside the saloon fully. If you knock someone out just outside or in the doorway you won't be credited for the knock out. The best way to make sure this achievement unlocks is to locate the bar and stay close to it.
No Dice 10
Complete a game of Liar's Dice without losing a single die.
This mini-game is based off of pure luck. The whole point is to guess how many of the die faces have the same number when revealed. The best way to tackle the game is to place honest bets on your own dice. Follow the in-game tutorial and play several games to get the hang of how the game works. If the AI numbers seem honest, such as two low number dice faces, it could be correct. This isn't always true but it does seem to be a running pattern.
Holding onto all five of your dice is very difficult in a game of chance so keep at it until you knock the AI out of the game.
You will find Liar's Dice in the following locations:
•Thieves' Landing
•Casa Madrugada
•Escalera
