How to unlock the Original Gunslinger achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

First, in multiplayer, go to the outfitter and select Red Harlow as your character. For this achievement you do need to kill real players, NPC kills won't count. You can do this on free roam, but I'd recommend doing it in Legends and Killers Free for All Matches. There are boxes that refill your deadeye that should be always used, and plenty of enemies to get kills from.

Since in my opinion deadeye is the best way to kill enemies anyway if you got a slow, powerful weapon, boosting this is in my opinion unnecessary - you'll get this in the course of a few matches, which you'd probably do anyway. Just remember to play as Red :)

Important to note for boosting all these achievements, next to starting private matches with friends:
Only the person wanting the achievement needs the DLC. Your friends
can still play with you and your achievements are unlockable playing on the original maps.

Also, unlike the 'Hail Mary' achievement, NPC kills do not count. Either in Free Roam or PVP matches, make sure you're killing other players.

I've been playing as Red for months now, and have well over 25 kills with Deadeye (in both Free Roam and matches), Any idea what the issue might be?

There is one important fact that noone mentioned. You can NOT get this achievement If you and your targets are in the same posse. There will be no "red X" and it wil NOT COUNT.

I wasted so much time boosting this on my AFK friend. Thanks for the tip!

Best way to do this achievement is to bribe your friend into being a moving practice target.

First of all, in the Outfitter, you have to choose Red Harlow (Red Dead Revolver) as your character.

Then, make a private session with your friend and find a place with one of those green chests that refill your Deadeye meter then bang! shoot him 25 times(using only Deadeye, of course).

Each kill is approx. 25 points, so it's easy to keep a track of how many times you've already killed the person.

When you first go online, press , go to Multiplayer and then Outfitters. There will be a section that says Characters => Red Dead Revolver => and Red Harlow will be the first person. Press and it will save. Return to Free Roam and look for some Deadeye while playing a Competitive Free For All match or Free Roam, then just kill 25 players using Deadeye.

Note: NPCs do not count, thus you have to kill real players while playing an online Free For All/Free Roam. The kills are cumulative so you can take as long as you need. It doesn't matter what maps you are on, it just matters what character you use to get the kills with this weapon.

Alternate method:

Credit to Blaze Naruto Shippuden for this:

Here is how I did it. From Chuparosa, go to the bridge area north above Perdido and you should find at least three different Deadeye boxes in this area.

The person going for this trophy should have a Buffalo Rifle. When you use the deadeye with it and lock onto someone's body or head. This gun will automatically shoot since it's a one shot rifle. If the other booster doesn't have this rifle. The person who is level 50 can give it to them by equipping it and then dying.

Do not kill the person with the deadeye but let them get the trophy then you can switch.
