Get A Headshot During The Rooftop Tremors.

How to unlock the Sometimes You Get Lucky achievement in Max Payne 3 - Definitive Guide

You can do this on Chapter 12 - Checkpoint 11, right after you blow up the foundation of the building and the roof starts to collapse. Easy way to do this is go near the enemy, wait for the tremor, and use bullet time to shoot him in the head. Tremor happens every 14 secs.

"This also unlocks when you are in last stand and get your 'revive-kill' as a headshot" - ZombieMaze

Personally ii got this by getting close and as soon as a tremor started using bullet dodge. Probably my imagination but it seemed as though the reticule wasnt flailing around as much while i was airborne.

I stayed crouched behind the cover with a shotgun then waited for a tremor. As soon as there was a tremor I activated Bullet Time then aimed in the general direction of an enemy's noggin and fired. Took a few tries and a few tremors to get it but it worked on a far off enemy on the upper level.

Chapter: 12, Checkpoint: 11

As soon as this checkpoint starts, you will have a large group of enemies above you, and one enemy on the ground in front of you. You don't need to use free aim for this, but if you need to use the locks, use soft lock.

As the roof starts to shake, dive forward towards the enemy on your level. Carefully line up your shots and try to kill him with a headshot. This may take a few tries, but you can just reply from the previous checkpoint if you miss.

Load the chapter 12, checkpoint 11.
Try to lock the head just before the tremor, the difficulty is to know exactly when the tremor start !!
Use bullet time to have more time :)

Chapter 12, checkpoint 11.

The point of the trophy is to kill someone with a shot to the head at the moment when the roof shakes under your feet and the scope shakes. I got it by accident (just by the name of the trophy xD).

To help those who are trying, I will post two videos that I watched myself.

I advise you to jump out of cover when the shaking begins by pressing .

try to hit the nearby enemy when he falls

I received trophies just like its name. Before boarding the helicopter to Passos, there will be the last enemy with a machine gun, he shot me, but since there was a painkiller, I took advantage of the last chance, hit him in the head and received the trophy.

When you are on the roof and detonate c4, the ground will sometimes shake under your feet, at this moment you need to hit the soldier in the head, my method: at the end of the level there will be an armored soldier on the roof, you need a rapid-fire machine gun ideally, even if you didn’t kill him in the head right away, continue shoot while holding down the cross during a slow-motion kill, you will definitely hit the head several times.
