These achievements are tied to the completion of the Single Player Story Chapters. These can also be unlocked in Gunslinger Mode.
Note
All achievements in this category only require the player to start and complete the final section of a specific chapter. This behavior is due to how the continue system works in Single Player Mode.
A ChapterSection is a distinct part of a chapter, separated by a loading screen. For example, Chapter 3, "Boneyard", consists of three sections. If a player quits during the second section (within the Church Catacombs), they can resume from the beginning of that section when continuing Story Mode later.
As a result, progression or win-condition achievements only trigger if the player has started the final ChapterSection from the beginning and completed it.
Note: Using Restart from the in-game PauseMenu always places the player at the start of the current ChapterSection, regardless of whether they're playing in Single Player or Gunslinger Mode.

🔗 Back to Top of Achievement Category
These achievements are tied to the two different endings in Single Player Story Mode. They are restricted to Single Player Mode because using Gunslinger Mode to replay the final Chapter would bypass a few key story moments.
Tip
If you’ve already completed the story once, the best/fastest way to unlock the other ending is to restart from Chapter 14, "Showdown", and make the opposite moral choice at the end. This decision, made after the boss fight in "Showdown", determines which ending you’ll receive at the conclusion of the game.
Warning
These two Single Player achievements can NOT be unlocked in Gunslinger Mode, unlike the Story Progression achievements, which can also be earned in Gunslinger Mode. The reason for this is mentioned above.

This category features custom-made challenge achievements that can only be earned in Gunslinger Mode. All of these achievements require the player to play through a specific Chapter from start to finish (in a single session) on Deadeye difficulty, whilst adhering to the rules of the challenge. Mastering this category is only for the true FPS/Survival Horror fan.
Note
- Only allowed in Gunslinger Mode; Single Player Mode is disallowed
- Play on Deadeye difficulty
- Complete the Chapter without dying
- Restarting via the PauseMenu is not advised, unless the player stil within the first ChapterSection. Restarting whilst in the first ChapterSection is a viable method to retry the corresponding achievement.
- Otherwise the best way to retry the challenge achievement is to quit to MainMenu and then restart the Chapter via the Gunslinger Menu. Unless playing on RAsoftcore mode, which in that case the player could just use savestates to simply retry quickly.
A ChapterSection is a distinct part of a chapter, separated by a loading screen. For example, Chapter 3, "Boneyard", consists of three sections. If a player quits during the second section (within the Church Catacombs), they can resume from the beginning of that section when continuing Story Mode later.
If the challenge was completed without any fail conditions being hit, a Trigger Indicator will be displayed during the Post-Chapter Gunslinger Stats Menu. Then once the player presses the X button, to continue, the active challenge achievement should unlock.

🔗 Back to Top of Achievement Category
This achievement category focuses on unlocking all concept art available in the ExtrasMenu at the MainMenu. Most pieces are tied to built-in Gunslinger challenges, but the game does not provide a way to view these challenges or their unlock conditions. Without guidance, players would need to rely on third-party resources to figure them out. These achievements serve as an alternative by not only showcasing the concept art but also clearly outlining the requirements to obtain them.
Additionally, these achievements can still be unlocked even if the corresponding concept art has already been obtained on the active Player Profile. Simply replay and complete the required Chapter while meeting the necessary objectives to earn them.
Note
If an achievement/unlock requires a minimum accuracy target, the RetroAchievements overlay will always display a Measured Indicator showing the player's current accuracy.
- Every shot fired from any weapon counts as "one shot", this includes a shot from a shotgun for example, melee attacks are excluded from this.
- Special weapons like the Rail Rocket, Crossbow, and throwable explosives also count as "one shot", but only when their explosive effect triggers. If an enemy is hit within the explosion radius, it counts as "one successful hit", increasing the accuracy stat accordingly.
Dev Note: Unlock Badge Art All achievements badges for this category are related to official concept art of the game.

The gatling gun is situated near the end of the chapter, when moving through the traincars. There should be around 25+ enemies that spawn during the section on the gatling gun. Be wary as some "keggers" enemies are thrown into the mix, skeletons with explosive barrels, kills by explosives are not counted. - Dismounting the gun. - Going below 50% vampire shield. If any fail condition is met, the fastest method to ret. - A Trigger Indicator is displayed when the player is mounted on the gatling gun and the player's vampire shield is above 50%. The achievement will unlock once the player acquires 15 kills. - A Measured Indicator tracks the player's killstreak with the gatling gun up to 15. This is reset when dismounting the gun or when the player's vampire shield drops below 50%. Developer note ⁃ Due to how the game is coded, it would be too hard to account for kills made by explosive barrels. |

a_SunPower 
|
Whilst standing in sunlight, activate the "vampire vision" repeatedly by pressing the zoom/sight button. Can be achieved in either Single Player or Gunslinger Modes. The achievement internally tracks if the player activated "vampire vision" 3 times in a row within quick succession in order to unlock the achievement. - Player did not activate the ability for 200 in-game frames. If any fail condition is met, the player can easily retry the achievement by simply reactivating "vampire vision". Developer note ⁃ I decided to only make this achievement pop when using vampire vision as using this ability in sunlight, makes Jericho grunt. Other abilities usually don't. |

lb_Watchers... |
A set of leaderboards covering all Chapters except the final one. Compete against other players and aim for the highest score possible in each Chapter. These leaderboards are available in both Single Player and Gunslinger Mode. To qualify, a Chapter must be completed from start to finish in a single session, without quitting to the MainMenu. - The leaderboard starts when the specified Chapter starts from the beginning. - In Single Player Mode, the leaderboard will not start if the player continues from a checkpoint midway through the Chapter. - In Gunslinger Mode, the Chapter always starts from the beginning. - The leaderboard is canceled when quiting to MainMenu - The leaderboard is canceled when the mission time exceeds seven hours. This should be plenty of time to complete each chapter. (This limitation is implemented because the mission time is used as a basis for the score system, more info below.) - In Single Player Mode, the leaderboard submits when the Chapter is completed AND the loading screen starts. - In Gunslinger Mode, the leaderboard submits when the Chapter is completed AND the player presses continue at the StatisticsMenu. - This group of leaderboards use a custom scoring system. BaseScore = (1 - (TimeSpentInMission(in milliseconds) / 7_hours)) * 25.000 BaseScore + (Kills * 70) BaseScore + (HeadshotKills * 30) (scoring a HeadshotKill also increments Kills by 1) BaseScore + (MeleeKills * 10) (scoring a MeleeKill also increments Kills by 1) BaseScore + (ShotsHit * 12) BaseScore - (ShotsFired * 5) BaseScore - (PlayerDeaths * 5.000) BaseScore * DifficultyModifier (Greenhorn: 1 - Cowboy: 2 - Shootist: 3 - Deadeye: 4) Developer note ⁃ If I had access to multiple R/R instances (devTools), I could better balance the scoring system based on the most relevant stats. However, this is the best I could create with the available tools. |

lb_WatchersCurseWest |
A leaderboard for the final Chapter, "Curse of the West", available in both Single Player and Gunslinger Mode. Compete against other players to see who can defeat the final boss with the greatest precision and speed. This leaderboard is essentially a modified version of "Elite Regulators Watchlist", with adjusted scoring values to account for the fact that this Chapter features only one enemy. - The leaderboard starts when the specified Chapter starts from the beginning. - In Single Player Mode, the leaderboard will not start if the player continues from a checkpoint midway through the Chapter. - In Gunslinger Mode, the Chapter always starts from the beginning. - The leaderboard is canceled when quiting to MainMenu - The leaderboard is canceled when the mission time exceeds two hours. This should be plenty of time to complete the final Chapter. (This limitation is implemented because the mission time is used as a basis for the score system, more info below.) - In Single Player Mode, the leaderboard submits when the Chapter is completed AND the loading screen starts. - In Gunslinger Mode, the leaderboard submits when the Chapter is completed AND the player presses continue at the StatisticsMenu. - This group of leaderboards use a custom scoring system. BaseScore = (1 - (TimeSpentInMission(in milliseconds) / 2_hours)) * 25.000 BaseScore + (Kills * 10.000) BaseScore + (HeadshotKills * 1.500) (scoring a HeadshotKill also increments Kills by 1) BaseScore + (MeleeKills * 1.000) (scoring a MeleeKill also increments Kills by 1) BaseScore + (ShotsHit * 17) BaseScore - (ShotsFired * 12) BaseScore - (PlayerDeaths * 5.000) BaseScore * DifficultyModifier (Greenhorn: 1 - Cowboy: 2 - Shootist: 3 - Deadeye: 4) Developer note ⁃ If I had access to multiple R/R instances (devTools), I could better balance the scoring system based on the most relevant stats. However, this is the best I could create with the available tools. |

lb_StoryTimeSoft... |
Four leaderboards, one for each difficulty, which submits the player's total story playtime at the end of the last Chapter. Since Chapters can be completed on varying difficulties, the leaderboard with the lowest difficulty is submitted when Chapters were completed with varying difficulty. Eg. If one Chapter was completed on the easiest difficulty and all others on hardest, the leaderboard for the easiest difficulty will be submitted. - Must be playing in Single Player Mode. - All Chapters need to have been completed (as this is an instant submission leaderboard). - The last Chapter was started from the beginning. - The leaderboard starts/submits when the credits video ends/is skipped. - Total story playtime must be within a min and max range. The maximum allowed submitted time is 50 hours. (This prevents false/cluttering entries) - This is an instant submission leaderboard, submits when it starts. - Total story playtime, this is acquired by summing up all mission/Chapter completion times. Developer note ⁃ This is the "softcore" version of the total story playtime leaderboard, meaning that it doesn't need to be completed within one session, for softcore speedrunngers. Not to be confused with RA's definition of Hardcore/Softcore. |

lb_StoryTimeHard... |
Four leaderboards, one for each difficulty, which submits the player's total story completion time. This leaderboard can be activated with an optional RA timer overlay, tracking the in-game total story playtime. This can be activated by simply holding down the SELECT button whilst selecting/confirming the difficulty. The difficulty selection menu is the last menu which is displayed prior to starting the Chapter. That said, the player can also decide to run this same leaderboard without the RA timer overlay, and it should function exactly the same, just without the overlay. - Player must start Single Player Mode from a fresh Player Profile OR restart Single Player Mode from Chapter 1. - Must be playing in Single Player Mode. - The last Chapter was started from the beginning. - Total story playtime must be within a min and max range. The maximum allowed submitted time is 10 hours. (This prevents false/cluttering entries) - Leaderboard cancels when total story playtime exceeds 10 hours. - Also cancels when quiting to MainMenu. - Leaderboard checks if all Chapters have been completed. - Leaderboard submits one of the ending videos starts playing (good or evil endings). - Total story playtime, this is acquired by summing up all mission/Chapter completion times. Developer note ⁃ This is the "hardcore" version of the total story playtime leaderboard, meaning that it needs to be completed within one session, for the true speedrunners. Not to be confused with RA's definition of Hardcore/Softcore. |
