How to unlock the Swift Justice achievement in Call of Juarez: Gunslinger - Definitive Guide

The way that I did this was in the first duel with Pat Garret in the campaign ON NORMAL (thanks bmlortz). This way you only have to worry about your Focus and not your speed. Simply start getting your focus and tapping right trigger as fast as possible, once drawn you SHOULD have very little time (still time) to line up your shot if need be.

The reason for this is because the game won't let you draw unfairly in this particular instance. It should pop shortly after you drop him. If it does not, reload the checkpoint.

It should also be noted that you can only do this in a new campaign. So you may need to create a new save if you've already gone through the campaign or beaten the 1st level.

Meh, whatever, I don't care. I write these guides to help people, not to get a good rating. With that said though, thankyou for the positive rating toast

That's a good question, the guide is pretty clear dance only thing to comes to mind is that you need to start a new campaign or campaign plus and not from level select.

Its dishonourable on New Game Plus if you spam the trigger. You have to start a new game with no perks etc.

Darn right, perfect solution. At first i was doubting it would work cause, if you have all collectible already pick cause this is the last cheevo you go for, you will start at lvl 10, but its all good, just make sure to not put any skill pts in your skill tree and do as he said...mash that trigger like a freakin maniac, got it on my very first try, +1 from me

You can also do it in recollections. You don't need to worry about saves or anything. Just do it on Pat Barrett in the first recollection. Just tested and popped minutes ago.

Just got the achievement with this method. Not sure who gave the negative vote, most likely some achievement snob.
If you start a completely new game on Normal difficulty, you don't even have to deal with the hand placement (Speed). Just line up the Focus and spam the trigger.

I stress attempting this with your eyes closed. it really helped out.

This can be obtained on any duel.

I made sure my speed and focus percentage was way up. As soon as you hear the heart beats you know he will pull his gun out. the trick is right on the fourth beat he pulls. I actually closed my eyes as soon as I heard beats and did it purely on sound. This is why I shot too early initially but I still had time for a second shot.

I've been having having allot of trouble with these duals, so glad they have checkpoints right before them, so I'm glad to have the tips... :)

Maybe I can make this happen now... :)

Nice tip, I had tried maybe 5 times and kept getting 0.6+. Then I tried your method and got it first try. I actually got a reaction time of 0.000 (obviously this is luck but the 4th heartbeat is definitely a great tip).

You will need to steady your focus () as equally as your speed (). 90%+ on both is ideal if you want this to be as easiest as possible, the main point is you must press RT as soon as you hear the enemy pick his weapon then press RT again to shoot. If you do not get this naturally throughout the story then you can keep on trying in the first duel stage in Duel mode. The below video will help.
