How to unlock the Dodge this achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

The 10 kill streak must be done in the ADVANCED MISSIONS. I did this on The Herd. Get a game with just you and a buddy by voting to kick any randoms. Do this so you can restart if you mess up and you won't be competing for kills.

Pull out your sniper rifle and run down the first stretch of path that is downhill. Scope in and move around so the cliff side is protecting you and start poppin' heads. If you get lucky they will cluster up at a box of explosives near the tent on the right. Use the Marksman II class and you get 20 sniper rounds. If you lose your chain or run out of ammo you both can jump to your deaths to restart.

You must complete each mission once to unlock the advanced missions. In this mode you are required to use expert targeting mode and enemies deal/receive more damage. So unless it's a head shot, the buffalo rifle takes more than one shot to kill. Also it helps to have your Coop partner stand behind you in case you get downed so he can revive you in time to save your chain.

Mounted weapons like the cannon work well as long as your immediate area is clear of hostiles. The Escape and Ammunition provide ample kills on the cannon. The cannons in The Escape are on the hill to the left of Tumbleweed as you ambush which is about 10 minutes into the mission. The cannons in Ammunition are on the Southern Hill and require killing over 20 soldiers to mount the guns. The setup time is much longer than on The Herd so try not to make mistakes if you choose the cannon route.

I got this on The Escape at Tumbleweed.

Head straight for the cannon on the cliff and you should see a large group of outlaws moving to the right as they make there way towards your position. I thing this may depend if any of your team have entered the town and are drawing their fire.

The achivement unlocks as soon as your counter reaches 10.

Using the cannon on the hill when you enter Tumbleweed during The Escape would seem do-able. Certainly managed to get a 12 kill streak using them in a standard co-op mission.

@Holy Quiff I think you weren't playing the advanced missions. I edited the solution to help others be aware.

can i just ask what is the difference between the normal and advance missions?

@heiwaboke: The difference is the targeting controls. Advanced does not allow you to "lock on" to your target by using casual or normal mode.

One other thing I've become aware of : you must finish the mission successfully before the achievement pops. It's quite possible to get your kill streak and then have the mission fail. Possibly what happened to Holy Quiff.

My apologies then - someone else on our team of four was absolutely convinced they'd got the ten kill streak on the cannons but without it popping.

i got it on the river one on the first stop. i used the semi-auto shotty. that thing is great. even if you dont kill them, a shot from long range will stumble them long enough for you to get close and kill them. and dont forget that dead eye instantly reloads your gun. so shoot five times, then double click your dead eye, and unload again.

Jut did it on The Herd like you said. By far the easiest one to do it on with the marksman class (so you got enough ammo if you miss a headshot). Tried the 'Escape' method, but didn't like it. If you fail for any reason at all it takes a few minutes to get back and try again. This one took me four tries, and as soon a I knew which guys to shoot first I got it easily. Great solution! :)

I did it on Herd as well, but I did it differently than the guide and the above commenters. Pick "Fully Loaded" (or whatever the thing is that starts you with all your base weapons) as your class. This gives you 6 dynamite and 15 sniper bullets. From where you start, turn around and go up the hill to your right. You should see a tree, a couple of bushes, and a nice view of the enemies. Have your buddy fire a few shots to get them moving, then throw all your dynamite down there - have your buddy guide your shots since you have to arc it pretty high and won't see where it's landing. I did that and got a streak of 9 JUST with the explosions. Pull out the sniper to clean up, and wahlah!

Nice guide, it help us (four lonesome fellows) ....
By far the easiest way ... shoot the dynamite on the right will kill 3 guys, and then shoot the others one by one ... choose a "sniper skill" in the menu, to get a sniper with 20 bullets. if you aren't a good sniper, it could be done very easily, got it at third time ... the first try, i did it quickly and fail ... last time i did it slowly (target to get headshot ) so take your time !

I got it at Pike's Basin. I stayed up on the top, where the mission begins. All the way at the left of this spot is some cover - basically, it's a piece of rock you can move behind to recover for a second or two. My buddy ran down the ledge and fired his gun into the air to draw their attention. I shot the two TNT crates to start off. One of the crates tends to become invisible at times, but it's still explodable even when you can't see it. After that, I shot individual enemies until I got the 10. I tried the bolt rifle, the Henry repeater, and the Caranco and had the most success with the bolt rifle.

wish i had found your guide before i tried ENDLESSLY on The Herd!! i'm embarrassed to say the amount of time i spent trying to get a chain at the top of The Herd mission in a private co-op match, my poor co-op buddy was very patient, with no success after hours of multiple attempts (yes i said hours).

The Escape mission cannon was THE quickest and most successful method, esp. for people, like me, who can't expert aim worth beans without targeting assistance. i would add, clear all enemies immediately below the cliff prior to getting on the cannon and/or have a co-op buddy next to you to snipe/cover you, stick to the farthest left cannon, give all other teammates a heads up so they don't rush the mansion and get blown up and you may have to move the cannon and kill surrounding enemies to keep your chain going as you wait for enemies to run around the mansion to get within target range.

This is by far the easiest method.

1: Do the ESCAPE ADVANCED MISSION.

2: Progress through the mission until you get to tumbleweed.

3:you will notice on top of the hill over-looking tumbleweed there are some conviently placed cannons there. take out the people at the hill with your buddies and then use one of the cannons.

4: Now just kill the enimies below. Aim at the town area first theres about 8 or 9 people there, then you will see about 5 or 6 people around the church, shoot them.

AND OOH WHATS THAT? ... ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!!!

(REMEMBER THESE KILLS HAVE TO BE IN A CHAIN)
this can also help you towards the mowing them down achievement getting 500 kills with a mounted weapon.

The cannon on the hillside (at Tumbleweed) helped me unlock this achievement. I kept shooting at and around the mansion, and even in the town. I got the achievement with little or no trouble. I would say it would be best to have your co-op friends help spot enemies before you start your kill chain, to make sure you find targets quickly.

The Escape Advanced mission works well for this. Use the left most cannon and wait for the Checkpoint Reached announcement. Aim that cannon at large house and start shooting at the house. A lot of enemies file out of the house after the checkpoint reached announcement. I was able to get a 12 kill chain this way with more enemies left to shoot. Another person I was playing with said you can get up to a 20 kill chain by doing this. Good luck.

Tried many other ways... If I had the right people in Walton's Gold, I think that would be easier... As the mine sets it up nicely... But without even really trying (just being aware) it was at Tumbleweed that I got it. Thanks.

Guys, help. I'm getting shot at from I don't know where when I use the first cannon on the hill. I directly aim at the church but it seems that I get shot from somewhere anyway. Should the furthest cannon on the hill be chosen? The guys that helped me with this (or at least tried) used respectively the first and the second cannon, so, I don't know.

I like the cannon on the left as you face the town, however you must take out the guy on the Gatling gun first (down below to the left of the barn). If you get there quick you can usually take him out before he starts firing (otherwise sneak in a head-shot). Also, sometimes there is also a sniper in the town, but I found him to be random (Gatling guy is always there).

Achievement guide for "Dodge This" 10 kill streak on an Advanced co-op level.

This is the easiest way, do "the herd" in a private co-op with a friend and "marksman II" class...

I've got a slight improvement for the video. If you take out the dynamite on the left hand side tent before going for the one in the video you gain an easy extra two kills and then only require five more to get the achievement.

This solution contains some small optimizations to JsNuke's solution, in case you are as lousy at sniping as I am.

Get a 10 kill streak in ADVANCED MISSIONS. Start a private free roam, invite a buddy, start advanced missions. Skip missions until you get to THE HERD, start it and select the MARKSMAN II class.

Once the mission starts, crouch and move to the edge of the cliff;
Zoom in on the tent with the TNT and a guy taking a leak right next to it, it's on the right side of the camp;
Don't shoot the TNT, but shoot the guy next to it instead;
For some reason al his buddies coming running towards him (and the TNT), shoot the TNT when it's crowded and start your kill streak instantly with 7 or 8 kills;
Get the last few kills with the sniper;
If it doesn't workout, you and your buddies jump off the cliff and start over.

Thanks to BillJones0302 for showing me this method.

This achievement can only be won on Advanced Co-op levels which gives you harder levels and expert targeting.

The easiest level Ive found to do this on is the Kidnapped Girl. Choose to go the build of Marksman II for this level.

Immediately pick up additional bullets in case they are needed, then stand behind the rock to the left, its the one thats behind another rock. With all your shots you must aim at the head, if you hit the body it could take 2 shots to kill, which wastes you precious time and can ruin your streak.

Take out the two men on gattling guns first, left then right. When you kill someone on a gattling gun then another man will usually run to take their place, so by killing these first you can set up two easy kills later in your streak.

After killing the two gunners look at the top right of the building where you'll see a man looking aimlessly to the left. Kill him. Then move across and aim at the black guy to his right. You may have to duck down between shots. Continue along the top of the fort, killing a man, moving aim across then ducking down.

When you get to 5 kills you can now look back down and there should be two men on the gattling guns again. Kill them both.

Now look to the far right of the fort. You'll see a man in the distance with no cover, then a man slightly to his left on a lower level who is under little cover. Kill both of these and then look slightly to the left where there will be another man on top of a tower under no cover. That should be your 10!

This is not a difficult achievement to get, and by replaying the start of this level you will learn the places the enemies are and will find it easier.

I tried a lot of different methods to get this but i finally got it after some advice from a friend. start up ammunition in private mode with a friend run straight forward select dynamite and turn to the right throw a couple of sticks through the gate at the end of the town then swing straight round a do the same to the other end if you nail it right you will get 6-7 kills from the first throws and 3-4 on the second ones.It took a few tries as you die pretty quickly if enemies get through the gates but once you get the timing right it should take about 5-10 mins to nail it.credit goes to brayarg trueachievements.com for passing this on to me

You probably know this by the time it's even possible to get this achievement, but kill chains are obtained by killing one person after another with just a few seconds between each kill. In the top right corner of your screen you'll see a green number denoting how long your kill chain is (assuming it's at least at two) and a green circle behind it that will slowly disappear. When it goes away, your chain starts over at one. You have to get this achievement on the Advanced missions, where you no longer have snap-to aiming.

I tried the other methods. Seemed like I always fell short when going for snipes, someone would shoot me and end my combo, or (this happened a lot) I'd just take too long to find my next target.

If you have trouble, try the mission "Walton's Gold". I feel like I should put a spoiler alert here, but on the other hand you should have played this through on the non-Advanced version already. Plus, there's really not a plot to spoil, is there? Nevertheless: "Spoilers" follow.

You'll need to start with dynamite, so select either Miner II or, preferably, No Holds Barred as your loadout. Clear out the town normally; I prefer a sniper rifle until I run out of ammo. Once that's done, equip your dynamite. Have your teammate enter the mine behind you. When you get to the first stack of TNT - it will be on the right side of the path in a bright red container - take cover behind the crate that is just before it on the left. Have your partner stay behind you and shoot the TNT. Be in cover when this happens.

When it blows, people will start milling around and head your way. You can take the brief time before they show up to get your aim just right, aiming for the right side of the "Y" intersection directly in front of you. You don't want to be holding the dynamite and trying to perfect your aim after they get there. It blows up in your hand if you wait for too long, and sometimes they'll shoot it themselves and kill you. When they start to show up, wait until a good-sized group assembles, then toss the dynamite into the group. You'll get four or five, then another group will arrive. Blow them up. Keep going until the achievement pops. In three tries we managed to get it twice, both times getting the multiplier to 14. If for some reason you did fall short, you could equip a rifle and quickly head around the bend and try for some quick headshots, but it shouldn't be necessary.

This is an expansion of Lockyz75's solution above, so credit to him and brayarg. I started out writing a comment on his solution but it was so long, and hopefully of use to people, that I thought it might not be seen there. So I have voted his solution positive and put my extra details here.

You should be aware that it might not be as easy as the original solution above makes it sound. Two of us started this at 4:15pm and by just after 4:25pm one of us had it. At 7:05pm (!) we finally quit with the other - me - unable to get it. Almost to be expected, my last attempt achieved a chain of 9 (for the second time). :(

We did learn a bit along the way though...

If there's two of you doing this, one of you will start closer to the central road than the other. If you're the guy at the back (me) then the extra 3/4 yards you have to run means you're f*cked on timing. It's simply not worth trying from here and you need to do something to get the better start position.

We tried restarting private sessions and skipping through all the other co-op missions, switching who was the posse leader, but none of it worked. Although it could have been a fluke what did it in the end was switching characters. He had been Luisa Fortuna and I was Marston; when we swapped I was close to the road at last.

Be aware that the enemy spawn is not the same every time. It is the same every time you retry immediately, but if you've been away to the main menu and/or rotated back through the other co-op missions then it might not be the same as the last time you did it. For example, when the other player was close to the road, throwing one stick to the left of the west gate and one to the right usually got him 6 kills, for me it got me 2 a few times and often none. When I got my chance starting close to the road it became obvious that a stick needed to go to the right first as the soldiers were definitely not coming in the same way. This still only got me four kills though, to get six I needed to get throw two sticks to the right of the west gate and one to the left - pretty hard given the limited time available and needing to address the east gate asap.

Lastly, don't be tempted to use Miner II for your loadout; always go with No Holds Barred (if you have it). You already have to hold LB while pushing the right analog stick up-left to select dynamite on Miner II. Doing this on the other loadout would give you the Tomahawk, but all you have to do extra to equip the dynamite is keep holding the analog stick in place for a moment longer while quickly tapping right (or left) on the D-pad twice with the thumb of your left hand. As you can tell from what I have already written above, I was sh*t at this achievement (and still dont' have it) but even I could select dynamite in no more than a second when it wasn't the default option in the slot. smile

You can do this on just about any mission where there are more than 10 enemies on the screen at once. I suggest you setup a private mission with another play on "The Herd". At the start of the level you will see the camp below, select the Bolt Action Rifle as your primary weapon and use the Rolling Block Rifle to snipe the enemies. Run across the top of the canyon and shoot the TNT box on right side of the camp with the Bolt Action Rifle. Now change to your sniper rifle and pick off enemies.

While you're doing this have your team mate if use any of the Repeaters to hurt the larger enemies. They can also shoot other enemies to weaken them for you. Carefully aim for the head and chest, you don't want to waste more than one bullet on each enemy.

To get this trophy you need to get a kill chain of 10 or more in any Advanced Co-Op mission. However, in Advanced mode there is No Auto Aim but this doesn't have to be as hard as it sounds, though I recommend leaving it until last so you can focus on the other trophies. The easiest mission and place to get this is The Escape at the ghost town (Tumbleweed).

As soon as you reach this area, go left towards the windmill on the hill. There are 2 cannons here that are lightly defended. Take out the enemies here and proceed to the Cannons but be aware of a gunner on your bottom far left. Take out the enemies below then shoot at the numerous Gatling Gun soldiers in front of the mansion, which should rack up a 10+ kill chain. Another good place to rack up a high kill chain in this mission, is to fire a cannon shot through one of the mansion's windows and If done correctly then it should net you a kill chain of 10+.

Another good place to get this trophy is The Herd and pick the Marksman loadout so please refer to the video below for a walkthrough:
