How to unlock the The Postman achievement in The Outer Worlds - Definitive Guide

This achievement is a hidden fourth ending.

At any point before collecting Olivia Ambrose's Journal for Minnie Ambrose, kill Minnie at the Ambrose Manor. Return to your ship and you will be contacted by Spacer's Choice and Lucien Bancroft. He will ask you to collect the journal for him instead. Play out the rest of the story as you normally would. During the last mission Side with Lucien and turn on the Reactor. Lucien will then contact you again asking you to drop off the journal at Byzantium. Once you drop off the journal and talk to his contact, the achievement should pop.

You can reload a save to do this but make sure you have not collected the journal yet, the last step of the quest "The Red Tape of Command". If you have the journal Minnie will contact you and the normal endings will play out. Even if you kill Minnie and activate the reactor, the quest will auto complete and Minnie will respawn at the manor as if nothing happened. In anycase, Lucien will not contact you and the achievement unobtainable.

@NannerLoaf Why not just have periodic saves so you can enjoy playing through the game on a first playthrough, and then check achievements to see which saves are close to work them out?

OCD bad habits, perhaps. In all fallout or elder scrolls games or any game with a manual hard save system pike what Outer Worlds, I don't like seeing a large list of older saves. It SEEMED unecessary for a while. However, it seems that developers like making missable achievements A LOT, nowadays.

The achievement unlocks when you deliver Olivia’s journal to the dead drop location on Byzantium and conclude the dialog with the contact standing nearby. Although this is simple enough, there are some complex preconditions beforehand.

Following the story, once you use the terminal in the CHEM Lab and Override Synthesis & Manufactory Center Lockdown, you complete the Experiment Perilous main mission and start the main quest Red Tape of Command. This is a branch point. To keep all your options open, make a hard save at this time and do not overwrite it.

Note: If you are going for the best ending in the full game, you will want to complete the game having unlocked the Family Reunion Peril on Gorgon DLC ending. The full game's ending is heavily influenced by how you concluded the DLC. The Postman DLC ending is one of the bad Gorgon endings, perhaps the worst. Accordingly, my recommendation is to do it first and, in the process, unlock this achievement (and Greenlight Protocol). Afterwards, load up the insurance save and knock out the remaining achievements.

With the insurance save in hand, this is the roadmap to the Postman DLC ending and this achievement:
  1. Go to the Ambrose manor and kill Minnie
  2. On your ship, ADA patches you through to Lucien. Agree to get him Olivia’s journal.
  3. Go to the SMC, get the journal, and return to your ship
  4. ADA patches you through to the interested parties, concluding The Red Tape of Command
  5. The Ambrose Intersection main mission is automatically initiated with multiple options
  6. Side with Lucien during the three-way conversation
  7. Return to the SMC and push Olivia into the reactor
  8. Turn on the reactor and return to your ship
  9. ADA patches you through to Lucien who instructs you where to deliver the journal
  10. Go to Byzantium and place the journal in the dead drop, a mailbox
  11. Turn around and talk to Simon Rentoe
  12. The achievement pops upon conclusion of the conversation
Since the Postman path requires you to restore power to the Adrena-Time synthesizer, if you have not already done so, you will unlock the following achievement when you powered the reactor:

*MISSABLE*
 
The achievement is for obtaining the fourth, and somewhat secret, ending to this DLC. To achieve this ending, you must, at any point BEFORE you obtain the journal during 'The Red Tape of Command' main quest, return to Ambrose Manor and kill Minnie Ambrose. Once done, return to the navigation area of your ship and you'll be contacted by Lucien, who will ask you to retrieve the journal for him instead. From there, proceed with the main quests to get the journal, and then take Lucien's side in the final quest, 'The Ambrose Connection.' With that done, bring the journal to the dead drop location for him, and then talk to the contact nearby to finish the quest and unlock this achievement.
