How to unlock the Maneater Shrub achievement in Desperados III - Definitive Guide

My quick method to quickgrind out this mind numbing achievement:

-Choose any level where you have access to all five characters, I did this on the final level "The Old And The New".

-Get all of your characters together and kill all the guards in an area with bushes. Have everyone pick up a dead body, with Hector picking up two, and have them all stand over a bush

-Press Up on the D-Pad to enter Showdown mode and one at a time, cycle through your characters instructing them to drop the dead body by pressing the B button

-Now Quicksave by pressing the Back button

-Press Y to execute your plan. All of your characters will drop the bodies, giving you six ticks towards the achievement

-Now pause the game and press the LB to load the game. You'll have to press A after it loads to return to the game, in which you can press Y again to drop six more bodies

-Repeat this until you have 750 bodies hid. LB to load, A to start the game, Y to execute the plan, pause and LB again. Eventually you'll get into a rhythm and knock this out amazingly fast!

To do it faster, kill some guards and place them at the exact same place on the ground next to a bush.

Now choose Hector, save and take two body at a time to hide them.

Reload when all bodies are hidden.

Fastest method: Select a bounty map and enable all 5 characters. Have them all carry dead guards and bring all of your characters into bushes while they carry bodies. Save the game and then order them to stand up ("Space" key on Windows). They all drop the bodies and bodies disappear, counting towards the achievement. Reload and repeat. Each load allows you to hide guards 6 times (2 from Hector, once from others).

You can also stack this with other character-specific achievements. Double pistol and Bianca achievements work great with this method, too.

This achievement seems to be bugged on series x/s, maybe related to quick resume. sometimes it progresses, sometimes it doesnt. i couldnt figure out a way to make it work consitently.

I made a video to demonstrate what the other solution is saying.

I used mission 16 'The old & the new' - cleared the starting area, everyone picks up a dead body (Hector carries 2) and stands in a bush.

Enter showdown mode by pressing cn_up
Cycle through each character using cn_RB and drop the body using cn_B
Then quick-save and press cn_Y to make them all drop the body.
Reload & repeat for 6 x bodies at a time.

You will most likely earn this trophy naturally while going for the other trophies. If you haven't, you can always replay any mission and hide bodies (in bushes, wells, houses,...) until the trophy unlocks.

Note: Statistics like these are almost instantly updated. This means you can create a save, hide a bunch of bodies and then reload your save. You might want to wait 5 seconds or so for the game to properly register this information.

Hiding corpses in buildings also counts.

You can boost it through saving/loading. Mission 9 is best suited, drag corpses into the bushes with Hector, throw them into the river, etc., he can carry away 2 corpses at a time and quickly
