How to unlock the Who needs Deadeye? achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide

You won't need deadeye to get this achievement, but you will need three buddies that are willing to take some bullets for you. Get three of your buddies with you in free roam and then go to a Free For All match marker. Start up a Free For All Match and make sure buddies join in with you. Right when your match begins you will have a standoff. Just have your friends stand still and let them take your bullets. Once you kill them all you will get your achievement. Now be sure to play nice and return the favor.

You don't need buddies to get this achievement. Just play free-for-all games a few times and you should get it. It isn't hard. I'm not even that good of a FFA player and I got it the first day the DLC was released.

It isn't the easiest way. Getting 3 friends to help you win an achievement you can easily win on your own is unnecessarily complicated.

There's no need to take this so personally or get your feelings hurt. Comments are allowed here for a reason. Getting 3 boosting partners together at the same time can be a chore in itself, so you're imposing a bothersome and unnecessary condition on people from the get-go. You're making it harder. I felt that deserved comment, and I still do.

That's fine, but dude I have plenty of friends that play Red Dead all the time so it doesn't matter. I guess if you don't have any friends then yes it would be hard...I also don't mean you by the way. Folks out there will just have to make friends if they want to boost it. It is also not that hard if you get in an 8 vs. 8. At the beginning I have killed more than three people multiple times.

Does this one require you to play LAK FFA?? I was playing a standard FFA just today, and there were 4 people (including me). Luckily, 2 of them were AFK lolz. I killed the only other active guy with a headshot, then killed the other 2, and voila... NO ACHIEVEMENT!!!

I thought maybe I had to finish the game, so I did (and won), but along the way 2 of the people quit out, and I spent the rest of the match trying to find the other AFK guy.
Anyway, I definitely killed 3 people with headshots, but didnt get the achievement :S

To be fair though, If you can get the achievement easy then you don't need to be looking at the solution anyway then do you?

If you aim for the head it shouldn't be too difficult. Typically easier when in a bigger match, get the guy opposite you, roll to avoid being locked on then pick off the other guys.

Much easier if you start off on the end as you can flank to one-side and shoot down the line. Also easier with revolvers rather than semi-auto pistols as they can still spray you to death even if you get nice head-shots on their mates.

It'll take some luck but if you get the head-shots right it shouldn't be too hard.

If you're fairly lucky and most other players aren't aiming at you, you should be able to kill three other people while dodging out the way. You may need to play several standoffs/showdowns to do so, but it depends how quick you are at drawing. I recommend you play a standard playlist and not the advanced as then you can take advantage of the lock on feature with the draw. To snap between players, aim towards someone and then quickly tap the to snap onto the player. Keep doing this until you have killed three other players.

Alternatively you can find three other people to join you in a Free For All match, then have them stand there while you take it in turns to kill each other for the achievement requirements.

See "Call it a Comeback!" for boosting information.

Use the Trophy Boosting Thread: LINK. You need at least four people including yourself to get this trophy. Start a match with at least 4 people, whether it be a Free For All or a gang match, and kill 3 people. While in the standoff, kill 3 other members before the standoff ends.
