  • This is easy I got this whilst doing the campain just get out a 1 of the guns listed and always try 2 get a head shot.
  • same as #2. i too had to start purposefully using the pistol. its not hard to get kills with them, but rifles are so much more efficient in the game play. u tend to use it without thinking.
  • 1: Stock up on chewing tobacco and medicine, etc. Also revolver amunition, of course. Everything. 2: Go to a gang hideout and rope up the bounty target. 3: Ride to the outskirts of the Sherrif's office town. (not too close or the gang will stop pursuing you) 4: Stop. Squads of 3 and 4 will come to you. 5: Use dead eye everytime and score head shots to concurrently work towards the 'Bullseye' acheivement. Also works for the "Long Arm of Marston" ach.
  • just go to free roam and do hideouts only using a pistol or revolver and it wont take that long.
  • I got the one for the rifle then realized I need to start using the pistol for this one!
  • Does it count towards killing civilians during Free Roam?
  • does this count all people killed or is it only enemies because in the stats it says "people killed with ______"
  • I'm same as you cwagmire. I've completed the game and I'm about 70 kills off. Guess I'll just re-do a hideout or something. o_o
  • The achievement can be aquired in Undead Nightmare too in case anyone was wondering. I did everything in normal single player, got the rifle achievement without even trying and just kept forgetting to use a pistol or revolver most of the time, or would use up all my ammo and then forget to replace it lol. So I ended up using a pistol/revolver almost through the entirety of Undead Nightmare and got it.
  • Actually found an interesting glitch when I got this one. Like many people, I missed it in the normal game so I was playing Undead Nightmare trying to finish this one up, and I ran out of pistol bullets. I threw a Boom Bait out, switched to a revolver, and started looting the bodies during the lull. When the Boom Bait went off, I got the acheivement. It seems it gives you credit for the weapon in your hand when the Boom Bait goes off. I didn't try it with dynamite, but its possible it works with that as well. But in a swarm of zombies, Boom Bait helps get this achievement if you are running low on ammo for your pistol.
  • Got it by redoing Fort Mercer 8-10 times after beating the game. I am about to buy the Undead Nightmare but I want to shoot zombies with a shotgun like it is meant to be so I wanted to get this one done before getting the expansion :)
  • If you equip a gun that works for the achievement, you can ride around on death in the undead nightmare dlc and the kills count towards.
  • I'm willing to help anybody with any achievement/challenges for the price of 20 headshots per achievement/5 per challenge. My gt: IKV91.
