How to unlock the Reeeeal Good achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

I have to make this guide, since not everybody has a party of 6 or so people and i found it annoying to have only 2 sticks as well as the partner spawning somewhere outside the city.
For those of u, who have only 1 boosting partner: Go to Amardillo and start a Shootout Game (Select Pig Josh as your character first) with the two of u. Behind the chicken-coop there is a weapon chest with dynamite. Everytime u pick it up, u get 5 Sticks of it. Just stay at the chicken-coop and kill off your partner 25 times. Shouldn't take longer than 5-7 minutes for each player.

Thumbs up! Now you have the top solution. Another good map is "Pacific Union RR Camp" where there are 2 boxes of diynamite. One of them are near the Train Wagon and players usually spaw near this area.

First step is to go to the outfitters, choose the "revolver" option under "characters" and choose Pig Josh.

The easiest way I found to do it was as part of a boost - it took, literally, 5 minutes in a private free roam session.

We had 6 or 7 people in the boost, we all outfitted ourselves as Pig Josh and then one of us would throw dynamite into the rest of us - who had grouped ourselves together.

Instant 6 dynamite kills. Once you run out of dynamite, get yourself killed, respawn and throw more dynamite. Achievement will be unlocked in about 3-5 minutes. Rinse and repeat for everyone else.

JUST AN EXTRA NOTE - as Biohazard and Conchie Joe note below - the 25 players have to be human players, not AI controlled players.

Does this need to be against human players or do kills against the AI count?

It has to be human players.

Mr Fiddler - I have to say that the 25 people that I killed were human players. But I'm not 100% sure if it is only human players that count or AI players.

If someone else could shed some light on that, that would be great - and I'll add it to the solution above and credit you on it.

One other note too - you have to be level 15 to be able to unlock the dynamite for Pig Josh

No, it does not have to be in one session. The "Cumulative" stamp on this achievement is correct. Same as
"Original Gunslinger - Get 25 Deadeye kills with Red."

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if decapitation kills count, or does the dynamite have to explode?

I got my 25 kills with Pig Josh in a Private Free Roam session with my boosting partner and it unlocked. Just make sure you don't suicide yourself with the dynamite or else it won't count as a kill.

Also, when I went for this achievement with one other person. We thought it would be easier to both simultaneously throw dynamite at each other's feet and get a kill each.

Achievement did NOT unlock for either of us and it was in private free roam.

And we made sure we didn't count "Flopsy86 blew up" etc.

Now you can easily get a group of people together and blow them up with dynamite, but what I found out was that cannon kills count too. I got my achievement with a cannon kill in El Presidio. If you're by yourself then just get on a cannon and hopefully there are some randoms that you can kill that are hanging around outside the base. Obviously you will need to be Pig Josh and the kills won't count on the AI. You can also go for the mounted weapon kills here too.

What I did was load up free roam, play as Pig Josh, and just run around looking for groups of people (preferably), or single people and keep blowing them up with dynamite.

You only start with 2 sticks, so once I used up my two sticks I would find a lawman, shoot him, and let them kill me to respawn with more dynamite. (Or someone I already killed would then kill me back.)

I don't know if killing NPCs counts towards the 25, I think it does not, but I could be wrong.

Just some additional info:

You need to unlock the dynamite as a weapon so best to do if you're a low lvl player, is to find a box with dynamite... everytime you get killed, run back to the box, pickup the sticks again and throw 'em to people.

There is this 1 map where you can find 2 or 3 boxes filled with 10 sticks o' dynamite. I don't know the name of the map but it has a train in it... if someone knows the name please feel free to say it! Since the chests are divided onto the map, you also have a pretty big chance to spawn near one of the chests...

Head into any multiplayer mode and then press and then to enter the outfitter. You will find Red and Pig Josh within the Red Dead Revolver menu. Once you have selected which character you want to use, proceed to a public/private freeroam or Legends and Killers playlists.

Red:
Select Red from the Red Dead Revolver multiplayer menu then head into either a public/private freeroam or Legends & killers playlist and hunt for the deadeye refills. You can always spot deadeye refill crates as they are marked with a green marker on your mini map. Once you have Have your deadeye ready to use, either hunt other players or a friend and click the to use deadeye. Lock onto them and kill them. Repeat this until the achievement unlocks.

Pig Josh:
Much like Red you will find Pig Josh in the same multiplayer outfitters menu. Head into a public/private freeroam or Legends playlist. Equip your dynamite located in the top left of the weapon wheel and kill 25 other people. Most games modes don't have dynamite in the levels so I suggest you do this in the free roam sections as you will start off with dynamite in your weapon wheel if you have unlocked it.

Note: To unlock the dynamite for Pig Josh or any other character, you need to reach level 15 to unlock this weapon.

When you first go online, press , go to Multiplayer and then Outfitters. There will be a section that says Characters => Red Dead Revolver => Pig Josh is the fifth from the right. This is similar to Original Gunslinger, only with Dynamite instead of Deadeye so look for the White Ammo Creates while playing online to restock your supply.

Alternate method:

Credit to Blaze Naruto Shippuden for this:

Kill the person you're boosting with, then hold the dynamite and you will blow up. It beats looking for an ammo box refill.
