How to unlock the Deadeye achievement in Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide
You can get this achievement after completing the game, which kind of takes the pressure off don't you think?
I don't take credit for the solution although I can vouch for it, it is still exploitable in the Xbox One edition as shown in this guide: Solution for Deadeye In Tomb Raider
Go to Helicopter Hill. Re-establish the zip line as shown, and climb it. As soon as you see the baddies, jump back on the line and after dropping off, get ready to do some shooting! As long as you don't kill these guys on the platform (where they spawn and come at you from), but rather after they jump on the line, rinse and repeat as they spawn in twos!
No second playthru required!
Enjoy!
EDIT: Please read PiCkLE SQU1D's solution below if you are having trouble.
This info is included in the comments section and I should have updated my solution. Sorry!
Unfortunately, if you kill the enemies - on the platform - before completing the game, they will not respawn. The only solution is to start a new game. Sorry.
To clarify, if you kill the enemy while they are on the platform - they will not respawn. If you go to the platform, and let them follow you off of the platform - its a turkey shoot. Shoot them on the line or after they drop - no penalty. They will respawn every time you come to this area and follow the instructions to get them to respawn. However, if they die on the original platform anytime during the game, they will not respawn.
My tactic was to go to the platform the enemy spawns from, deploy and hop onto the zip line to the upper platform, turn around and hide. Shoot the enemy AFTER they had jumped up onto the line, never while they are on the platform.

I've killed at least 50 so far and still nothing. I will try 10 headshots then 10 shotgun kills.

Where is Helicopter Hill?

Please read the other solution if you're unclear of something.
NOTE: If the enemies were killed on this tower at any point in the game, you cannot do this method
1) Fast travel to Helicopter Hill
2) Connect the rope to the tower shown in the video.
3) Now use the zipline and go up to the tower with 2 enemies.
4) Immediately ride the zipline down.
5) Hide behind the small structure and wait for them to come down the zipline. (They won't come if you are visible. You must be hidden from them.)
6) Equip your bow and draw back on it all the way. Press to slow down time, if you are having trouble. Only go for headshots! This is very important.
This achievement is really glitchy and it took me well over 50 kills to get. Once I realized nothing else was working, I used my bow, pulled back all the way on it, used and went for headshots. Sure enough, after my 4th headshot, the achievement unlocked. Getting 10 headshots still might not unlock the achievement. Instead, go for 20 headshots before completely giving up on this method.
If the bow doesn't work, I've heard of people using a shotgun instead. This is more trickier to do though, as you need to time your shot almost perfectly.
Also, make sure that the enemies die while on the zipline. They will die, and it will look like they are floating in the air. This is also how you do the multiplayer achievement for killing an enemy on a zipline. It must be done while they are on the zipline, meaning headshot.
If neither of these methods work, try shooting the enemy once with a pistol then go for a headshot. Good luck :) Video credit by me.

I had trouble with bow headshots, but with pistol it was easy to get headshot for me.

An alternative location for this would be the next basecamp - windmill. If you go to the gap where the windmill blades are spinning and jump across away from the camp you'll see a zip line overhead. Move forward and climb the tower the zipline is attached to. There should be three enemies. Go down the zip line jump across the gap with the blades again go left and scramble up the walk there, drawing your bow immediately. All three will take the zip line as long as they can't hit you.

Another solution that worked for me is in Shantytown when you're trying to rescue Grim.
It's the part when he tells you it's a trap. They'll be 4 enemies who zip line across 2 cables one after another.
Use your crossbow and try to get head shots. Once you've taken your shots at the 4 enemies, regardless of whether you hit or missed them, just jump down the platform to your death. Don't kill anyone else in that scene. As soon as you die, you'll be able to play the scene all over again.
These kills are cumulative even though you're replaying the same scene over and over again.
So you can keep playing this same scene until you get the achievement.

Can a second person confirm that replaying a checkpoint increases the counter?

This actually seemed to work for me, thanks

This can be easily done in your first and only playthru, during the campaign and not afterwards. I trick is seeing where. There are a few locations prior, but most of the chances will be in Shaunty Town. There are two large battles here, where there are 6-7 chances each time, as well as a final escape battle where there are 4-5 chance.
Here is where the trick comes in. Not really a trick. However, when you realize there are chances for this, RELOAD CHECKPOINT, since all of these battles come with check points just before them. Get as many as you can from the possibilities, and if you are missing, RELOAD until you get a decent amount that you are happy with.
THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE HEADSHOTS. BOth my friend and I who recently got the achievement did not get all of them by headshot. In fact, the last one I got was NOT a headshot. And the rifle works best. I think the mistake with the headshots is you MUST kill them on the zipline, meaning, they must die while holding on, and not be knocked off and then die. Headshots do that, but so does a high damage rifle shot (mine were upgraded to the max possible at the time i did this)
But if you missed this the first go around, you can always try the other solutions.

If you still missed it, no need to panic. After completing the storyline in the "Slums" location There is a place next to the helicopter with an infinite spawn of enemies. The most important thing is not to die and not to save in the camp until you get the trophy. Place and method on video . If there is no cable, climb to the top and secure it yourself. After throwing enemies off the rope, jump onto the railing as in the video or run to the camp fire and repeat until you get 8)

there is so much unnecessary information here about this trophy.
you just need to kill 10 enemies while they are on the rope, but the trophy cannot be obtained by reloading the check point.
there are 4 locations:
1.near the radio tower there are 2 frags
2.slums1-7 frags
3.slums2 - there you should get the trophy
4.on the edge there is also a lock on the cable car on a hanging box
we just kill and the game should save the progress and so on until 10 is rolled.

I strongly recommend making a trophy while playing through the game, because the methods described for free mode do not always work. Ideal, from my point of view, place for farming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBj3xhaw758
At this point you will just have a shotgun.

The most important clarification: the enemy is considered “downed” if you hit him in the head!
For a normal kill, only +40 experience is given.
And for hitting the head you get +50 experience and the value of killing “on the spot!”
