The Real Deal

Red Dead Online: You achieved MVP 3 times (in a round with at least 4 players).

How to unlock the The Real Deal achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 - Definitive Guide

Just wanted to add a method I used that I found to be super easy. I cannot say if it is easier than the races, as I didn't try them but I was able to unlock the achievement at level 4 within an hour.

All I did was load the smaller showdown option and kept backing out and rejoining until I got into Hostile Territories. All you have to do in that game mode to be MVP is sit in a point that your team controls. Doesn't matter how many caps or kills you get. So just run to the closest capture point and sit in it the entire match and you will get MVP. If you happen to get killed just run to another point your team controls when you respawn.

This doesn't help you team really but I got MVP all three times I played this game type, the only reason it took me an hour was the back out and rejoining until I was put into a Hostile Territory match.

Hope this helps!

Edit: The Hostile Territories mode has been moved to the Takeover Series Playlist. Thanks to Rothio for pointing this out!

This is by far the easiest solution. The races were good in the beginning, when everyone was still learning to play the game. Now there is too many experienced players racing and it is very difficult to win a race.

I don't get it. I sat in a point our team owned for the full match and finished 7th of 7 on our team.
Edit: Nevermind I got it to work. Hardest part was actually finding games of hostile territories to do it. Great solution.

This game mode is like a myth. 95% of the time it puts me into a match that isn't hostile territories. The 2 times I finally got put into it, they're both in progress, one with 3 minutes left, the other with 5. The one with 3 I had no shot for the mvp, the one with 5 my team is getting their shit pushed in. Go figure. Even when I stay in matches I get put into that are in progress, the next match has never been hostile territories. Anyone have any ideas or advice on this?

So nevermind sort've to that above comment. The next lobby I got put into was hostile territories, not in progress, and I guess I got lucky, because after that ended and I was put into the lobby it was hostile territories again. I guess you just have to keep searching til you finally get it. I managed to get MVP in both those games which was nice. My team finally won.

Ended up getting the final one in Spoils of War, I think that one you just need to have the most caps on your team to get it. That's what did it for me. Ended up playing against a really bad team.

You da real MVP Galen! Perfect guide for this achievement. For those struggling to get the Hostile Territories match, try playing Showdown Series Large. It's a bit more challenging, but the game mode comes up way more frequently and the concept of camping at one point works. That's how I got my last MVP.

Got 2/3 using your method thanks bro. Too many hardcore players on this game makes it really hard to get MVP legitimately. Hoping to get 3/3 soon. Given you a thumbs up. I haven’t been backing it though just letting it run as the matchmaking system is atrocious

Just got this using this method, you're a rockstar! (pun intended? haha) The only match I didn't get MVP on was a match where the opposing team captured all points and the match ended early (I assume in these cases, there is not enough time to get enough points to be MVP)

Just came to say this works great. Though I finished on an Overrun match waiting in between Hostile Territories and couldn’t believe how many people spend time going for kills while an opposing team player runs right by them capturing their points.

As @Seitzz said this mode is like the white whale, I've been at it for an hour the last 2 days and haven't seen it. However, if you're good at spoils of war its practically every load. I believe this is the best solution I just can't get it to work for me.

This and overrun made me get the achievement in an hour. Overrun, spam A before match starts and run towards flags. Don’t bother killing just run even if opposition is full u might get that one flag under ur belt to help get MVP.

And for Hostile, as noted. All your training in camping in Call of Duty, has all been for this achievement. Camp out and relax in any checkpoint doing fk all to get MVP. Got 2 MVP’s in overrun and one in Hostile takeover

Since the change to the takeover series, there are now a lot of other event types so Overrun and Hostile Takeover don't come up as often, and unfortunately there is no way to select them yourself. They are still on the rotation, and I was able to get the achievement using the techniques described by others in about 25 mins of actual game play. It took more than 2 hours to get the right combination of events though.

Pretty sure this will be the achievement that prevents me from getting 100%. Overrun I get 25 captured and a few kills and someone else gets 20+ kills and 30 captures. I’m constantly getting one hit killed while it takes me three shotguns to down someone else.

Got it today, if you are from Central Europe (as me) I recomend to play in late hours between 11-12 pm because Takeover and Racing series have only a few players, I got it in 15 minutes during Overrun mode by just runnning and capturing the points. Hope it helps ;)

"Smaller showdown option"... what does this mean??
Also every time I back out I'm spit out very far from the series signpost. Is this normal? Is there a better way to do this?
Why isn't anyone else asking these questions?

Edit: ok so "smaller showdown option" is an outdated mode, and you can quick join games from the Player Menu (left on the d-pad)

Second edit: Also play Overrun if you manage to get that mode, as it's very easy to just kamikaze yourself into as many capture points as possible for the duration of the three rounds for an easy MVP.

Just wanted to say thanks and clarify a couple of things as their are alot of assumptions in these comments. I played 4 matches and I got MVP twice not sure what triggers it but a couple things I noticed on my last match when I got the cheeve were I came into the match late about a 1/3 of the way through and camped at the closed site. Got overrun had 1 kill 1 death and camped again. My team lost but got the mvp and was second place on my team not sure about the other. So you can get it if you join late and if your team wins.

Galen you are the man! This is by far the easiest method! I wish I could up vote this past the first because people really need to see this guide.

No offense meant to the other guide writers but this needs to be at the top. For the grinders out there, go with this method. Got it done in about 45 minutes, only thing that took a while was just loading and sitting on the point. Even if your teammates suck, just stay on the point, yes it's kind of a d*ck move but stay on the point and you still might pull of the MVP. You don't have to win to be MVP, I wasn't.

Ok I finally got this done. Managed to get all 3 MVP on Overrun . I would load up takedown series from online menu, it would nearly always be plunder or spoils of war. I'd play it out and if the next map wasn't overrun , I would dashboard and reload. I think I only played 6 games of overrun in 6hrs... hugely biased to other game modes. Once in overrun just ignore all other players and collect as many capture points as possible. Start spamming A in loading screen so as soon as game starts your in front of your team mates. I would die alot but as soon as I would spawn just head for the nearest point you can capture.. usually get 1 or 2 before being headshot one shot killed even though I'm sprinting and Zig Zagging...
You don't need any kills or wins to get MVP if you can get the highest capture points in the game .

I was able to get this yesterday in a little under 2hrs. I was having trouble finding games in the Takeover Series. Hardcore Series has Hostile Territory games in the rotation. I would play and camp in a territory, but I had to be on the winning team. You can either play through each game type, or quit out and search again to attempt to get in a Hostile Territory game.

To unlock this achievement I highly recommend playing the races. During these events you can pick up weapons to damage your opponents, but it seems there is no auto aim. In normal races I won one and achieved MVP by being very close to the first guy, and right before the last checkpoint, I killed him using the dead eye with the tagging ability.
the easiest way, however, it's winning the free races (i don't really know how they're called in English): during these ones you need to get all the checkpoints in any order you want and then go to the finish line. My tip is to go immediately to the outer checkpoints because after getting those the remaining are all pretty close to where the finish line will appear (and by avoiding the checkpoints in the middle you lower the chances of being killed or crashing into other players since the majority will go right there).

This is how I got this achievement in roughly 30 minutes playing solo. Sorry about my probably broken English, it's not my first language, but I really wanted to share these tips :)

I pretty easily got this on my 3rd try doing standard series event. I did it at midnight/1am my time locally so there was onlt 6 players on. If you're careful, you can easily get MVP during territory control or the most wanted gametypes. Tip is to go stealth so you dont appear as a radar blip.

Smart solution. Did the same thing: killed an opponent before the final checkpoint in normal race and then won two open races in Tumbleweed (the easiest one FMPOV, just start from the left ones bonfires) and in Saint Denis.

The thing is people don't really care about checkpoints. They are rather focused on killing each other.

+1.
But it is not easy when there are 12+ people who are running in same race. It is more easy when you run with 5-7 people. While you are in race, there are a lot of "incidents" from others who try to push you to fall from your horse.
Try to get more resistance icons in your map, so you can run more.

You can get MVP in the new Team Gun Rush mode. I imagine this is much faster and easier than races as games are very short. As an example, I was the only player on my team, got 1 kill (the final kill to win the game) and got MVP.

So thumbs up for this - loaded up race series from the main menu and won the first 3 Open Races that loaded up.

It seems there are a lot of people idle boosting in the race mode so makes it easier as they aren’t interested in racing, just making it last as long as possible. Does male it harder to win races with pls though as they’ll stalk the start/finish line trying to rack up kills.

Second thoughts, Team Gun Rush may not be the best. I got 4 kills, 0 deaths and my team won with me getting the final kill and MVP went to a guy with 2 kills...

I agree with this. I would of had the achievement in about 6 races but I lost connection to their servers sitting on my last MVP.....cry The other modes with shooting, knives, or bow are more difficult to control. The no auto aim is nice as well

@el p1nko, thanks a lot buddy! Win all 3 MVP's in less than an hour with those videos! The easiest one is definitely Blackwater. And races are definitely easier than Hostile Territories farming.

IMHO, the easiest way to win MVPs in RDR2 online is playing races. Bellow I’ll give some tips:

General Tips:

- Avoid bumping at other players at all costs. It’s a 50/50 chance of getting you knocked off the back of your horse, and you don’t need that.

- Before attempting this, It’s a good idea to increase your Bonding Level with your horse to at least to level 3, increasing its stamina that way. This achievement is totally doable with the horse you’re given from the tutorial, so don’t bother buying an expensive horse, unless you really want to increase your odds.

- Choose the “Paint it Black” Dead Eye ability given in the tutorial or buy it for $50 in case you picked another one. It makes killing players a lot easier while riding your horse.

- Always go for the stamina barrels along the way. Fail to pick one of those and you will find yourself with very low stamina until you come across another one.

- Double tapping cn_down will expand the mini-map, helping you foresee what’s ahead of you. It’s REALLY useful.

- Playing after midnight (UTC-3) increases your chances of finding emptier lobbies, with 6 players or less, so you’ll have fewer players to beat.

Open Races Tips:

- There are currently 5 open races: Valentine, Rhodes, Tumbleweed, Saint Dennis and Blackwater. The best, shortest and most efficient routes to follow in each of those races are shown in the pictures bellow. Following them, will most likely net you the victory, unless someone is also following that same route with a faster horse than yours.

- In the match lobby, go for the “game details” option, and you can see which race is coming up next, giving you around 30 seconds or more to check on the images bellow and memorize the route.

- Don’t bother shooting anyone, as it will only slow you down, just focus all your attention on riding the path suggested as best as you can, UNLESS you’re in the final checkpoints and you know for sure that the opponent ahead of you is going to win.

Standard Races tips:

- Avoiding taking the lead at the beginning of the race. The chances of you getting shot in the back are huge. Instead, let the front pack kill themselves, and when there’s only one player left ahead of you, go for the kill (using the paint it black ability, preferably) and then you should have a smooth sailing till the end.

- When you are getting shot at, it’s a smart defensive maneuver the hit the brake (cn_RB) and let the shooter overtake your position, and then shoot him yourself to take him down.

-When you’ve a good weapon in your possession that you’re comfortable playing with, stop going for weapons barrels, as it may change your weapon for another one worse. Weapons I recommend: Double Barreled Shotgun, Semi-Automatic Pistol and Lancaster or Litchfield Repeater.

If you’re going to downvote this solution, please share in the comments suggestions so that I can make it better. Good riding, folks.

Best solution, thanks for the maps, they were helpful.

Tips: get to level 40 doing the collector role, get a horse with decent speed and stamina. The Criollo is what I used. It has high stamina when you get to bond level 2. Your horse wont go out stamina so you'll most likely have advantge over low level players.Try to get in a lobby with 4/6 players. If you see a lot of 100+ level players back out and search a different lobby.
Did this this afternoon and got 4 victories, 3 of them in a row. Good luck.

The absolute easiest way to do this is not races!! Play in the small showdown series and your looking for the game Overrun. The rounds are super short and the objective of the game is to hold the most spots. Literally just keep running from circle to circle And don’t worry about killing people, if you die it’s fine just respawn and keep running!

Cheers 🙂

With the currect (unpopulated) state of the game you might have to boost this.

get a group of 4 ppl.
Search Elination Series.
Votekick any other players.
Allow one player to win the game, three times.
-> Achievment should pop

Repeat for the other players.

Hope this helps.

Notes:
Watch out for super high rank randoms or low ranks with 0G and 0Firends, since there are many smurfs around.
If someone makes it into the lobby start communicating and team up, call them out. As soon as one of you dies, spectate the random and call everything out he does. Its not nice but effective.
The winner is MVP, not the player with most of the kills.

I made it easy in the new Halloween mode "Dead of Night" you can easily achieve the mvp if you focus on killing as many zombies as you can. In this mode the mvp is who have more kills. This mode is temporary and can be found when searching for featured series.

Quick & Easy MVP, I've helped many players doing it simply in Call to Arms, Using the Blackwater map.

Designate a player to be posse leader, set up the posse and invite 3 others. There will need to be another player to leave and rejoin the posse after each match. (It bypasses the cooldown timer, on the Call to Arms mode).

Soon as you are all in the posse, the leader will start the match. To start Call to Arms, Press right on d-pad, to open the Satchel, so it's: Satchel > Documents > Telegrams > Call to Arms. (If you don't have call to arms mode available. go to the post office or lockbox to pick up the telegram. (Must open it whilst on foot, not on horse).

After the Introduction cutscene has ended, everyone holds CIRCLE to skip the preparation timer, have the player who is going for MVP, kill ONE enemy then die. The other 3 die immediately after wave 1 starts, - There are red explosive boxes / barrels around the map, just run up to one and shoot.

When all players are dead, ONLY the posse leader presses the button on the "Failed" screen. Posse leader holds SQUARE on the "Abandon with Posse" option. You will then see the outro play and the person with one kill gets MVP.

After you load back into the map, the designated leave and rejoin player, quits posse then rejoins immediately. (Tap left on d-pad go to posse, find the settings and select abandon.) - Ideally to make it easier the player leaving posse should count to 10 then do it so it gives time for the leader to navigate to the telegrams page, if the page is still greyed out, have the designated player leave and rejoin again, whilst posse leader is on the map selection page. Repeat the same steps till everyone has the trophy.

============
Quick Summary

1 host
MVP gets 1 kill then dies
Other 3 die immediately
Only leader presses button on failed screen
1 player quits posse and rejoins - to bypass cooldown
Repeat above steps

Hope I made it clear for you guys.

At the end of each competitive match, the MVP title is rewarded. You'll see a clip showing a character celebrating and the game identifying that character as the MVP. You need to win three MVPs yourself to earn this trophy. There are a few ways to go about this:

Races: You automatically win MVP upon winning. I, personally, recommend this route as I find races less skill dependent than combat modes and thankfully there isn't much parity low and high level players. For standard races, I recommend sticking to the side at the start of the race, going around the group of players and reaching the front. From there, try to knock off the nearby players with . How you start these races are important as it's tough to come back when you've fallen behind and it's tough to lose a lead when you’re far ahead of the pack. For open races, you must hit each checkpoint scattered across the map. Upon doing so, make your way to the finish marker. The key to this is finding the right path. Typically, you want to start hitting the checkpoints along the outside and work your way in as the finish marker will be near the center of the map. Here's a link with images depicting the ideal route (Credit to rdr2.org): LINK. If you have friends to help you, you can make this a little easier by having them kill the race leaders to help you overtake them. 

Make-It-Count: You automatically win MVP upon winning. This is a Battle Royale type mode where you'll be going up against other players for the title of sole survivor. In this mode, you will only have access to a certain weapon (throwing knives, bow/arrow, tomahawk) with limited ammo. You'll need to be stealthy and sneak up on unsuspecting players. You can't stay in one position too long, because it will reveal your location on the map. You could use that to your advantage and lure other players your way. Be aware of your surroundings. Look every direction. Don't get too excited when you see someone. Focus and make every shot count.

Standard Competitive Modes: The trick to winning MVP in these modes is to not die. You could have 0 kills and 0 deaths and win MVP over someone who went 30-5. In matches like these, find a place to hide. Maybe have a Shotgun on hand in case anyone stumbles upon you.

To unlock The Real Deal trophy in Red Dead Online, you need to be the most valuable player in a Series event three times. It doesn't have to be consecutive rounds.

If you're a good shooter this won't be a problem to achieve in a Showdown Series, but if you aren't too hot with the shooting mechanics you can take advantage of the fact that there are MVPs in the Race Series as well. It seems that the MVP is always awarded to the race winner though there may be some rare circumstances where this isn't the case.

There are two modes here: Race and Open Race. While you may be able to win a round of Race, in which you can pick up boosts and weapons along a point-to-point route, the problem is that once someone gets ahead of you it's hard to catch up. Your best chance is in the Open Race, in which you need to pick up all of the checkpoints in a large area -- but you can collect them in any order. Get a lay of the land and aim to collect the "outer" checkpoints in a wide circle before spiralling in to the checkpoints near the centre of the map. The reason for this is that you will need to race to a finishing square after collecting your last checkpoint, and this is almost always near the centre of the map.

I found that the Tumbleweed map was the easiest to consistently win. From the starting point turn your horse immediately left and get the nearest checkpoint, then 180 and head for the furthest checkpoints to the right of your starting point. From here you should head uphill and work your way around the outskirts anti-clockwise, until you get to a sharp bend left and down hill into town. From here it should be fairly obvious how to mop up the remaining inner checkpoints.

Keep trying and learning the routes; at this early stage of the Beta you will likely find that the majority of other players are either unfamiliar with the mode (or horse riding in general) or they are rubber-banding at the starting line by walking their horses in circles, presumably in an effort to level up while they idle. Because of these two factors this trophy is currently a lot easier than it perhaps will be when the idlers disappear and the more skilled players take to the tracks.

Hmm, that sounds like a bug. I have had a few events glitch out on me after completing them and they have not added to my counter on e.g. the Free Roam Events trophy. I can only think something similar is happening there for you. Unfortunately it might just be a case of continuing to get MVPs until it triggers :(

I think the easiest way to get it is in races, for this you need to come to the finish line first 3 times, the easiest races seemed to me in which you need to go through the points in any order, since the rest are complete chaos)

The best weapon for PVP (current patch 1.05) is the Varmint carbine. It has the lowest damage, but the auto-aim aims directly at the head, and this carbine has the fastest aiming speed.

The Saint Denis Open race is probably the easiest way to get this trophy. At the beginning of the race, turn around and jump around the points clockwise, when, like most players, they jump forward and interfere with each other. This way you save time and if there are no other very smart people besides you, then you win. And so three times - the trophy is yours!

IMHO, the easiest way for me was the “Alien Land” mode, where you need to capture points. At the beginning of the game, he immediately ran to an empty point, captured it, then captured another one. I tried to capture those where there were no enemies. I had about 2-3 murders. There were 2 deaths. Mostly I hung out at the point with a sniper and stupidly shot. I tried not to die again, since I am a handyman, the likes of which the world has never seen. And with 2 points, 2 deaths, 2-3 kills, I became a valuable player. In my opinion, this mode is the best for getting a trophy, especially for those who have just started online and who have a low level, naturally, and very little experience. Because the guys are playing madly there, and before you have time to take aim, they’ll kill you.

Many here write that you can win other pvp modes by capturing points, maybe it’s possible if you’re really lucky or you’re really a god of shooting, but it’ll just waste a lot of nerves and have zero fun. Nowadays there are a lot of players who are level 100+, and what a hundred, yesterday they were 350+ against me, it won’t even be a matter of the difference in weapons, but the fact that they have maxed out the scale of life, stamina and marksmanship, mine is at 30 level at 80 percent, only this is all pumped up, but the most important thing is that they have 4 abilities unlocked and all the cards have already been pumped up to level 3, that is, you can put together quite good builds there and they actually become very tenacious!

My advice is to still go through the races, knock out the trophy in 1 evening, just choose a quick transition through me and play! There will be simply routes to the finish, with points in different orders, with targets, I won the first race with targets, it was my first time on this map and somehow I was lucky, I overtook 2nd place by a couple of seconds, then I entered and exited the races and got caught for a session where there were 4 players and a short circular race, two immediately collided, I kicked the last one into the fence and then took first place without any problems, he could not overtake me, well, the 3rd victory was actually when I entered the track with targets and the race I was already walking, I thought, okay, I’ll look at the map and overtook everyone, there were just players here of about my level, not a single high level, but I came across this one time! There were a lot of 2nd and 3rd places, either bad luck or really cool dudes, but at least it was interesting, especially when you already memorize the cards! If there were really bad players against me, I went back to free mode and found a new session through me quickly.

All the tips above are not very relevant today. You won’t be able to sit out the capture of territories, there’s not much chance in a knockout game, and even more so in skirmishes. Today there are a lot of nerds and pests in the game, playing with them is like breaking a mountain with a hammer. That’s why I’m telling you the most realistic way to date. You can only get a trophy in races. The most realistic way is through passing points or on a circular route. The best time to play is weekday mornings. Sessions of 4-6 players, nerds and experienced fighters are not enough. I got it this way.

In races and skirmishes now (beginning of 2021), it is very difficult to get this trophy: there are a lot of players of 200+, 300+ and even 500+ levels. At level 27, I knocked out this trophy in one evening in a series of captures, Occupation mode. You just run from fire to fire, you don’t need to shoot, if you kill, it’s not scary. The maps "Shishika" and "Dakota River" are the easiest to become MVP.

Yesterday I received this trophy with 4 friends. Mode - last man standing, 8 people max. There were 4 of us, this was enough to take control of the mode (we could kick out one player in each round). Basically, it turned out that besides us, two more left players tumbled in. While one of us sat in the rear, the other three did all the work. As a result, all four of us made the trophy in about 3 hours.

Collecting in any order is not the best way. It was convenient for me to do it clockwise/anti-clockwise from the very start. so slowly to the center, because if you miss the last light from the edge, you will waste seconds of time to get to the finish line first
Don’t pay attention to those who want to stop you, and most importantly, if there are less than 4 players left in the match before the rewards are credited, you will not be counted towards the trophy

I received a trophy in a series where you need to capture points. In this series there is a mode where two teams compete and you need to collect resources from the enemy base for your base. In this mode, both teams constantly put pressure on each other and I alone carried these resources and for this they gave me a valuable player (maybe I was lucky, but in my opinion it’s much more difficult to get in races). I advise you to at least try this series, maybe you will be lucky too.

Most likely you are doing this trophy for platinum. Having leveled up to level 50, I didn’t try to make a trophy. The first evening I tried all the modes and realized that it was not for me. Therefore, we calmly level up to level 50 as a Collector (described above). Next, unlock and buy the Collector's saddle and the Creole bay-frame overo horse. We swing the saddle with a stirrup in the stable and then go out to the races. An important point: 90% of all races are competitions with targets. The remaining 5% is racing in a circle (two circles) and 5% driving along the lights (there are maps above). The trophy was made in two days. The main thing: we play from 12 to 18 Moscow time, then monsters with levels 300-700 come out and you simply won’t be the first to arrive. If you find yourself racing in a circle, don’t get ahead, be 3rd. Otherwise, I’ll shoot at you (here it’s better to upgrade ability cards like hats, so as not to die from the first shot to the head). Drive through the barrels and always keep your weapon ready. If it works, take out the enemy who is galloping ahead with your weapon and win. During the day, he often drops into a session with levels 15-30. They are easy to defeat. But it’s better to play racing for a couple of days, then you’ll have an understanding of each track. There are not many of them)))

For those who can't make it to an open race, here are the routes. They are not the most optimal, since the opponents did not give a reason to bother, and were invented on the fly, sometimes on the 1st and sometimes on the 2nd try.

In the settings, I recommend setting the Weapon Sight to Simple ( Settings->Screen ) - this will help you avoid smearing and the target acquisition mode is Wide ( Settings->Controls ) - this will help you catch the target easier.

I got it during a series of confrontations where I needed to capture points: I captured one myself, helped to capture the second - they gave me first place (dead matches also went well, but that’s not my thing, I didn’t reach 1st place)
I knocked out the rest 2 times in races on free Arabic, but first upgraded it to level 3.
A race for an arbitrary sequence of passing all checkpoints - the right tactic is to remember where you started (the finish will be there) and collect all the points clockwise or counterclockwise (depending on how many fewer players rushed), in the end I picked up the last point almost at the start and went straight to the finish, breaking with 2nd place 15-20 seconds usually with this tactic, unless you fall or get shot

It was very difficult to achieve this trophy in 2021. I tried to do it at the races 2 evenings on weekdays, there really are chances, but I got a maximum of 2nd place several times. In the end, the ideal mode for me was a series of captures. I lost several times, but on the third evening I won the trophy in about 2 hours. 1 victory came in a series called “foreign land”, just sit on the captured point, there will be drops while teammates try to capture other points. The second victory was in the same series of captures, when he brought in more bombs during the explosion of the base. The 3rd victory was in the occupation mode on the shishika map, I just completely neglected shooting and ran around capturing points, the main thing is to run ahead of my entire team. I knocked it out on weekday evenings after work.

I found 2 modes for myself and completed them in a few hours at level 47:
1. To arms (knocked out in Armadillo, where it’s easiest to shoot enemies on horseback, but at levels less than 20 it’s almost impossible to take first place).
2. Races (in Annesberg and Rhodes, in the rest only 2nd place, I advise you to skip those where the terrain is predominantly mountainous). The easiest mode for this trophy, as it takes little time and everyone has approximately equal chances in the race. Maps with routes for races without targets are freely available.
I also noticed one trick: if there are 2-3 people at the start, then several more people can join, even closer to the end, and if you take first place, you will receive a trophy. This happened to me in Rhodes: at the start there were two of us, I took first place after 3 minutes, the enemy was afk and during this time 3 people joined. As a result, first place out of 5.
The easiest mode at the end of 2023, in the rest, 70+ levels almost always take first place. Free mode tasks (king of the hill and others) are not taken into account in this trophy.

It seems to me that this is a rather difficult trophy now, since many people have learned to play very well online. It took me three serious runs of 2 hours each to get the trophy (since I had never played adversarial games before)... Alas, that’s how it is. Am I playing really bad? , or everyone has become very good online (Having collected all the clues together, I can reveal the following):

1. Choose one opponent to play (I recommend elimination). We go in, play calmly, train, learn all the intricacies, and play it purposefully.
2. It’s better to go on a weekday before lunch, the players there are much weaker (thanks for the tip above Mr_Vanse_Bars).
3. In the process of trying to obtain this trophy, you will receive 300+ XP, which will have a pretty good effect on raising the overall level in achieving the “Infamous” trophy.

PS tried to get a trophy in the races in the evening - I wasted almost three hours, barely rising to 6th place in each race (Always 16 players in the lobby). Then I tried again - and was at most third or second. Chose survival (elimination series).
The elimination series turned out to be much simpler. Having played 15 matches, I began to always move along the edge of the narrowing zone (as described above in the Vlastelin tip), while the rear is always protected, only from the right to the left and in front there can be danger. He waited until everyone killed each other, and then killed the last three or the last player. You will still have to sit in this series for several hours - to become the first (or how lucky).
Or forget it sometime with friends - it will be much easier. But I don’t have that many friends online, so I had to do everything myself as always.

IMHO the easiest way for a single player: start the "elimination" mode (a kind of battle royale, in which the playing area gradually narrows, and players are killed in one hit), just run (always in a crouch) along the edge of the narrowing playing area, because . The chance of meeting an enemy on the edge is very small. While you are moving, the opponents will kill each other, leaving you and the last survivor, whom killing is not such a big problem: either enter unnoticed from behind, having previously tracked through the "eagle eye", or go head-on and shoot (here you need to be able to jump to the side in time when the enemy is shooting at you). Well, or if you have the skill, just play for fun. The last one standing is the best player. I won the trophy, surviving almost 3 times in a row =). Another option (far from the most honest) is to go into one session with friends in this mode, find each other on the map (moving either along the edge of the zone, or in a designated place, if you know the map), and two or three of them kill enemies in a crowd). The main thing is not to kill each other by mistake; it is better to choose clothes that you can use to recognize each other from afar.

- Find the series in which you have at least some chance of winning. I got good at capturing points. I’ll tell you this example.
- First of all, forget about shooting. Your job is small - to drag and grab, not paying attention to anything around.
- As soon as the round begins, grab dynamite or run to the points if the goal of the task is to capture points. In one game I had zero kills, but I captured 27 points and became the most valuable. In another, he delivered 4 shipments of dynamite to the enemy base and also became the most valuable with 0 kills.
- If you see that your team is fighting, then in the next round try to join the one that won. And then according to plan: we run forward and capture points, deliver dynamite, and loot supplies.

Another option is elimination mode. You need to study the maps, move along the edge of the narrowing zone and try to kill the last player. Killed - you get a valuable one with a machine gun.

Some players (like me at first) get the trophy description a little wrong. Those. They think that you need to become a valuable player 3 times in a row in one round. In fact, you need to become a valuable player in round 1 1 time and so 3 times. It doesn’t have to be in a row, you can come first on a horse, go capture points, etc., the main thing is to become valuable 3 times.
