How to unlock the Top Dog achievement in SWORD ART ONLINE: FATAL BULLET - Definitive Guide

One of the grindy achievements of SAO:FB, this achievement requires you to get 1st place of the Bounty Rankings. The target bounty is 9.7 million (which sounds a lot but you'll be surprised how fast you'll end up getting to it when you're in the groove). This will be done over the course of playing the game. What I did to achieve this is during my Extreme difficulty run:

1) Fast travel to a dungeon.
2) Clear it out.
3) Fast travel back to SBC Glocken (I usually go back to my home).
4) Repeat. (I also clear out my backpack so I don't end up overweight.)

Doing this netted me 100k per run, XP helping me level up my character and party, and some affinity for my friends in my party. However, results can vary if you do another clear, go out of dungeons to do other things, etc. As of writing this, I am not aware of a super fast way of getting bounties so this will be a grind. Also to note that the bounties on the rankings are fixed so you do not have to worry about it changing up on you and your bounty will carry over from previous playthroughs. Once you've passed the target go to the Lobby of the SBC Glocken and talk to the blonde ArFA-sys in the center of the Lobby to check your overall bounty. If you're bounty is past the number one spot, you'll get the following:

1) This achievement.
2) A message from your friends congratulating you on getting the number one spot.

Happy grinding.

Nice tip Krogan, I will check that out tonight! Didn't think you'd get all that extra XP.

@OniDestiny Yes, you can do this on Normal if you wish, but as there is another achievement related to Extreme difficulty and some other grindy achievements, I recommend to do this on Extreme.

So, I've seen the video with the Solitary Sands method and it seems like they were getting WAY more drops than I ever do when running this method. Also, not every group seems to spawn a queen. I have the game on Extreme, but am still on my original playthrough. Is there a difference by playing Extreme on NG+ or should it not matter?

I would suggest updating the solution with this method. This helping me close the bounty gap faster than anything else, though it helped that I had a strong sniper rifle like in the video.

It's best done on easy by the way, not extreme. That way the boss can die in 1 to 3 or 4 shots, and you just use the area in the vid to run back and forth to make it respawn and just kill snipe it across the city, rinse & repeat.

The sniper method seems good though if you grind out all the weapons first and then save the sniper/bounty for last?

Go to solitary sands in the fast travel menu pick the top location and farm the bee mechs kill the queen only it will kill the rest of the bees as well you get drops like crazy and also items crazy amounts all adds to bounty score and xp is not that bad either did it for an hour got just over 2.5 mill bounty and nearly 4 mill xp

Oh, okay. Yeah, I guess I should've been specific by saying I did the rest of the bounty ranking via that method after I got all my weapon levels maxed out. Thus, my best sniper rifle came off as that much stronger when it came to repeatedly sniping the Elite Automaton unique enemy as shown in the video.

Also, you get at least over 3K worth of exp each time you kill it, and then run back and forth to make it respawn, so you're guaranteed to level up at least once every other time you're there for awhile, when you go back to the city.

You can do this if you want. However, this won't be efficient in terms of getting the other achievements in the game. I will consider this when I have time.

You need to get 10 million Bounty Ranking to reach 1st place. The best place to grind bounty is in the Solitary Sands on Extreme. Directly South of the first fast travel point there are 3 groups of Queen Wasps and killing the Queen Wasp will automatically defeat the other wasps. You will get ~800K bounty per hour doing this method depending how fast you can kill the Wasp Queens. You will also want to trash the drops you get once you notice that the items are being sent to storage so you keep gaining bounty for items picked up. See The Ultimate Warrior for the Queen Wasp method.

Bounty is earned after every mission you complete, or even when simply leaving an area and returning to your room. You will get a tally of all your activity including all kills and materials gathered. It takes 10 million bounty credits to reach #1 on the in-game leaderboard. A good farming method for this can be found below. I would suggest leaving this for your last achievement if it doesn't come naturally since you'll be getting bounty for all your other activities as well.

To earn first place in the rank, you need to accumulate approximately 9.7 million points.
After completing the game it will be easy to fill in the post game dungeons.
