GTA Online: Survive for a day with a Bounty on your head.

How to unlock the Run like the Wind achievement in Grand Theft Auto V - Definitive Guide

Here's a complete SOLO way to get this done.

Requirements:
  • Be at least level 10;
  • Talk to Lester at his house ("L" on the map);
  • Don't be in passive mode.
How to get the bounty from a NPC:
  • Go to a solo or an invite-only session - from pause menu in Single Player, select GTA ONLINE, then PLAY GTA ONLINE, and lastly SOLO SESSION or INVITE ONLY SESSION;
  • Keep robbing cars (those with drivers, not the parked ones) and evading police when necessary;
  • Eventually you will receive text messages from "Unknown" threatening you and a banner saying BOUNTY will appear on the center of your screen.
PS: It doesn't seem to matter if the driver turns on you or runs away.

How to survive for a day:

OPTION 1: Idle
  • Simply go to somewhere on the open where you can't get accidentally killed, like a top of a building, a small alley, a top of a billboard, whatever;
  • Move your character every few minutes so you don't get kicked from the session;
  • Wait for the achievement to pop - will take around 50 minutes after the BOUNTY message.
PS: Don't go to closed places like your apartment or the Casino. If you do, the time you spend in these places seems to be added to total time needed.
PPS: You can die, as long as it's not due to other players actions. Therefore, you shouldn't be killed by other players, hence you stay away from public sessions after getting the bounty on your head.

OPTION 2: Doing stuff that earn you RP and GTA$
  • Hunt some collectibles (Playing Cards, Action Figures, Signal Jammers, Movie Props or Shipwrecks);
  • Stunt Jumps (same from Single Player Story);
  • Hunt and deliver Exotic Exports in the docks;
  • Get and deliver Simeon's cars in the docks (1 per day max).
Hope this helps.

Edit:
Disclaimer: GTAO is an ever-changing game, with game modes and features coming and going, which means the provided solution might not work forever. Since I'm not playing GTAO anymore, let me me know if the solution gets outdated.

Thanks!

[AUTOPOP] Shortly after reaching Rank 10 you will receive a call from Lester while driving around in the open world in Multiplayer. Lester will ask you to come to his home, marked with a white "L" on the map. Go there and watch the cutscene to unlock the ability to place bounties on other players' heads. To do so, access the "Contacts" app from your in-game phone and then call Lester. Select the option "Set Bounty" and select then choose a player from your session to place a bounty upon. The minimum cash you need to place a bounty on a player's head is $2,000 ($1,000 for the bounty and $1,000 for Lester's cut).

The easiest way to earn this trophy is by inviting a friend or a boosting partner to a private session and getting them to place a bounty on your head using the above method. You must be Rank 10 yourself to have a bounty placed on your head, even if the other player has unlocked the ability to set bounties.

For the trophy to unlock you must survive with a bounty for 24 in-game hours, plus however long it takes to reach the next hour mark. For example: If someone sets a bounty on you at 12:27pm, you must survive until 1pm the next day. One in-game day is a real-life total of 48 minutes. Participating in activities, races or missions will pause the timer, so the best way to pass the time is by driving or running around the map to avoid timing out (set at 15 minutes of being idle) and leaving the session. One thing you cannot do is camp in your apartment, as the timer will pause as soon as you enter it. If an NPC kills you or you commit suicide, the bounty will not be negated so if you are only with your boosting partner in a session you don't have to worry.

To find a boosting partner please click here: Trophy Boosting Thread (Read First Post!).

There is also a small chance that you might get lucky with this in a solo session. If you steal cars from NPCs (particularly the more expensive "premium" cars), there is a chance that they will place a bounty on your head in revenge. You will get a threatening text message from them then Lester will call you informing you that you have a bounty on your head. Survive for 24 hours (flying around the map is best in solo as the NPC will never find you) and the trophy will be yours.

Before you can attempt this achievement, you must be a Rank 10. Once at this rank, Lester will eventually give you a call, so head over to his house for a short cutscene where he informs you about Bounties. After this, load up a Private Lobby with a friend who is also a Rank 10 and have each player call Lester. There will be an option to "Place a Bounty" on a player in the lobby for a minimum of $2,000. Place a bounty on each other and simply wait for 24 in-game hours (45 minutes real-time) to pass.

Be sure NOT to kill each other, or it will void the achievement; however, if an NPC kills you, it does not void the time. Furthermore, if you decide to perform any activity within the world, the timer will pause. Also, take note that you can get kicked for inactivity if you are standing idled for too long. To avoid getting kicked out of the lobby and ruining your progress towards the achievement, it is recommended to either cruise around the city in a car or hang out in your apartment - if you have one - until the achievement unlocks.

Alternatively, you can try to get this achievement solo if you do not have anyone to place a bounty on you. Often times, when you hijack enough vehicles during your online session, the NPC you hijacked will text you with a threatening message informing you that they are going to get back at you. Shortly after, Lester will call you and let you know that the NPC has placed a bounty on your head. If this happens, follow the method above in order to pass 24 in-game hours.

Don't be alarmed when you see words like day or 24 hours; you need to spend approximately 48 minutes in the game.

I got this trophy while walking around in a solo session! Just steal cars and wait for the magic call. After this, walk the streets for 1.5 days (since the reward is deactivated on the next day (only if it was assigned later than the 2nd half of the day!)) and you will not only receive this seemingly difficult trophy, but also receive the entire amount that you were supposed to give to your killer.

It's simple! Go with a friend to an open session and he puts a reward on your head, after that, in any car, go to the mountains to the very top, there are always very few people there and you wait exactly 48 minutes, I did it the first time, and my friend immediately after setting the reward I left the session, but the trophy still dropped!

We are joining the online session by invitation. We steal cars from NPCs (we had to steal 30 cars before they put a reward on our heads) and sit for 48 minutes in the session without fear of being killed. I waited for about an hour.

The trophy works very strangely. It’s difficult to get a reward for your head from NPCs, or rather, they don’t seem to give it out until you get the trophy. But from experience I will say that if you often carry boxes during a session, carry resources for enterprises or for a bunker, then take away the cars from the NPC. When I was just playing on PC, though after level 100, the reward was given with enviable regularity. I did the same on the console. A friend hung up the award, and I went into the house to sit. The trophy dropped after two hours of real time.

At the moment, if you are holed up at home, or in a strip club (as advised in the PS3 thread), the trophy will not drop; I checked it personally.

If there are difficulties: a single, closed session will help.

Adrenaline: hijack a fighter jet, a combat helicopter and hold on, or just hover at altitude.

The trophy is not buggy, I made it yesterday, in a closed session with a friend, it’s easy to do - call Lester, assign loot for the friend’s head, and then after it falls to a friend, he does the same and the trophy is yours. Before you do it, let your friend or you of a friend join in a closed session for friends or gang, then look at the phone on the day of the week - for example, if it’s Monday morning, remember this, your bro calls Lester and assigns a reward for your head - and on Tuesday morning, according to game time, you get a prize.

The trophy is currently unattainable due to the blocking of the "bounty" function.
Now, instead of the required level 10, you will always have a padlock. (on past-gen)

If you need to go somewhere, while you sit at home and wait for 24 hours to pass, you can sit down and watch TV. While watching TV, you will not be kicked out for inactivity and you can safely move away from the console.

Now there is a difficulty with this trophy. There is no reward for stealing cars. Lester is also offended.

This is Rockstar’s measure against cheaters who used this feature in the game.

At the moment, you can only get the trophy if you find a compliant cheater, which is quite easy.
I was playing in a session and at one point all the players were teleported to one point. There I noticed an invulnerable dude, remembered his nickname and ran away from the crowd of people. After that I sent him an SMS "place bounty on me plz". He appointed a reward, and then all that remained was to fly over the ocean until the reward subsided.
By the way, the reward itself was not returned to my account.

Folks, the trophy can also be obtained in a session where there are players.

The easiest way:

When a reward is announced for your head, go to Amu-Nation (with a shooting gallery) and go to the location with a shooting gallery, then wait 48 minutes. Players will not be able to get weapons, will not be able to hit you, etc.

PS Go EXACTLY to the location with the shooting range, as you can be killed from the street and do not stand still, otherwise you will be kicked out of the server for inaction.

You need to live 24 hours of gaming (about 50 minutes of real time) in free mode.

If another player kills you in a shootout or on a mission, the reward will not go anywhere.

You can just do it in a closed session, for example, a session by invitation. At first they gave 5,000, now it’s 9,000, and the main thing is that no one bothers

you can create a single session, steal cars, and do bullshit until you receive a notification that you have lived through the day (game) with a reward on your head.

The more expensive the car you try to steal, the more likely it is that a reward will be awarded for you.

The easiest way to get this trophy is to play in a SINGLE session. You can do anything, no one will be able to come to you anyway.

It can be done a lot easier.

Since you need 1 day to pass (about half an hour), it will be quite problematic to constantly run away from everyone. I did this: I stole cars until they put me on the wanted list, then I went to my apartment (if you have an apartment in hotels, then you no one will get it, because they won’t be able to enter you). In the apartment you can do many things while time passes.

The trophy is easy.

1. We steal any car and immediately abandon it. We repeat this 7-8 times.

2. When he writes that a reward has been assigned to us, you can:

A. Hide at home or in the garage and wait.

B. Join a session where it’s just you and your friend and also wait.

You can simply get this trophy without any stress. Wait for a reward to be assigned to your head and go to the pier on the left side of Los Santos (there is also a helipad nearby). There will be a submarine there (if it is not there, then just move away from the pier at some decent distance and return: the submarine should appear). Sit in it and no one will be able to help you if you end up underwater in it outside the city.

Since April of this year, this trophy has been blocked (on PS3 and Xbox 360) by developers under the pretext of “fighting cheaters” for an indefinite period.

PS Personally tested everything on PS3:
1) Call Lester
2) Stealing hundreds of cars (in open and closed sessions to receive a bounty on your head from an NPC)
3) Repeatedly reaching level 10 in the hope of receiving a “call from an unknown person” with a reward on your head (after visiting the Leicester garment factory)

Because of this, platinum is currently unattainable.

In this case, I advise you to lie low in the Strip Club. Why is it necessary to lie low here? It’s simple, because no one will get weapons there, and no one will shoot inside the club. I personally have done this more than once.

Everything is done simply, go into the club and go to the place where the girl is dancing near the pole. Then you simply press the button on the crossbar to the right and your character will fall onto the railing, the camera will automatically switch to first-person view. That's it, you can go and have tea. Just first make sure that your DUALSHOCK 3 is fully charged and that it will not run out within an hour or two. Check if your automatic console and controller are turned off. I don’t remember exactly the time, about two o’clock, you can come up and check the money. If you have the amount that is announced in your hands, then immediately transfer it to the bank via your mobile phone and feel free to go out into the street. The reward on your head can be set in the following amounts: $1000, $3000, $5000, $7000, $9000.

PS There are already some cunning people who run into the “Strip Club” with weapons. That is, they can kill you if you don’t run away or hide, or it’s easier to pummel the enemy yourself. So, the choice is yours now.

The trophy is freely won without additional players. We choose a closed online game (I chose the option where people can join you only by your invitation). We take away cars from everyone (Naturally, you can only be ordered if you have opened Lester). And then just run and complete races, battles, survival (in short, all those missions where there is no need for other players). And in a few hours the trophy is yours.

To receive a trophy, you need to have a bounty placed on your head.

This is done as follows. We take away cars passing near you and somewhere around 5-7 cars, you are put on the wanted list.

I noticed one feature. If you take away cars in the desert, they charge a little (they gave me 1000), but if you’re closer to the city center, then it’s 7000. Although it’s possible it’s just a coincidence. This is important because after 24 hours, this amount will be credited to your account.

After you have been declared wanted, we rush for the helicopter (airport, hospital, landing strip in the north along which carpet bombing was carried out). The last option is preferable, because in the north there are few players and they won’t be able to interfere.

There are two further options:

First (unlikely).
The players from your session are not interested in getting money for your head and you will calmly spin around on a turntable (or land on the roof of some skyscraper and drink tea) - 24 hours!

Second (most likely it will be).
They will start hunting you.
Then we fly to the military base and pick up the fighter there. Because it has weapons, then it is quite possible to stand up for yourself, and there will be much less people willing to chase the fighter (you still need to find one like it). Although it’s not so easy to fly (it’s a bit difficult to drink tea), it’s still quite suitable.

A small addition.
When you die on your own, or are killed by the police or military, the reward on your head is not removed. It will be removed only after 24 hours, or after you are killed by another player.

When you are wanted, all session participants receive an SMS informing them of the amount that will be paid for your murder. And you will also appear on the map with a red marker and it will be clear to everyone where to find you.
__________________________________________________ ______

Let me add that there is another easy way to get the trophy.

Before going online (from a single player game), select an invitation-only session.
We go in and steal several cars (we don’t invite anyone).
We receive a message about the assigned reward.
We calmly play for 1 day, alone.
After 24 hours, we receive a trophy and a sum of money in our account.
