How to unlock the On the Go achievement in Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

You can get this by crafting special arrows (like poison or fire arrows) 50 times, holding the cn_RB button. This will consumes some of your craft material but you should never run short of those. Please keep in mind the count build up even if you die/reload : so find a spot right after a save, craft 5 fire arrows, reload your checkpoint, rinse and repeat.

Make special ammunition for any weapon by selecting the weapon and using cn_RB. The only special ammunition you can craft at the beginning is fire arrows, but they count. You learn to make other types through skill training and story progression.

There are a couple of peculiar things about the way this achievement is tracked. The first thing to know is that all of your 50 special ammos must apparently be crafted in the same save file. I got to 96% with this achievement on my first game, then started a new game on a new save file and the tracker never moved. I started a third game, and it still didn't move. I went back to my original game, crafted 2 more special ammos, and the tracker moved and the achievement unlocked.

The second thing is, I've noticed that many of the cumulative achievements for this game don't track when you're replaying from a checkpoint after a death in Deadly Obsession difficulty. You can still get the achievement, but it will take longer because only the special ammo that you craft on your first playthrough of each part will count. I cannot confirm that this specific achievement works this way, but so many of the other ones do, I assume this one does also.

It works like this. Say you crafted 10, then change save file. You then craft 5 and the tracker will be at 15, the first save will be at 10 and the second save will be at 15. If you load your first save the tracker won’t move until you reach 15.

So you need to craft all 50 in the same playthrough, but you do not need to craft all 50 in the same save file.

Like you said, the other cumulative action achievements work this way. If you revert to an earlier save, or start a new playthrough you will lose some or all of your progress.

Crafting special ammunition is as simple as holding  with any weapon that you have equipped. There are a few variants of special ammunition, though the most basic one you will have access to from the start of the game is the fire arrow (which requires certain resources, such as cloth and oil). The Jaguar's Fear and Viper's Lure skills will also allow you to craft fear and lure arrows, respectively. 

Additionally, you can also craft flare rounds and concussion rounds for the pistol and shotgun, respectively, by unlocking the Serpent's Glint and Boa's Blow skills. 

All in all, so long as you have the appropriate skills and resources available, this achievement can be unlocked easily over the course of your playthrough without much effort. Please note, however, that you cannot hold more than three or four of a single special ammunition type, so you will need to actually use it in order to make room to craft more.

To create such ammunition, you must first develop all sorts of relevant skills. but you can get by with a standard fire arrow, which also counts

Killed by fire arrows. If there are not enough resources, load the checkpoint and craft again.

In addition to fire arrows, you can also craft signal cartridges for a pistol (R1 with an equipped pistol after learning the skill). To create them, slightly different resources are needed, which makes it easier to obtain the achievement. My achievement failed just when crafting signal cartridges.

The ammo crafting skill will still need to be learned to obtain the "Thanksgiving" achievement (Shoot a turkey with a flare cartridge).
