Essential Info & Tips

  • Links to specific sections in this guide may only work if that specific section is opened (eg. a link to an achievement in a specific category won't work if that category's guide is not open).

  • All achievements are single player focused, even the ones for the Multiplayer Mode, Showdown. A potential real Multiplayer subset could easily be made if there's enough ask for it, or if another developer wants to create one (most of the necessary RAM has been code noted).

Important

All achievements will be disabled when using cheats, unless stated otherwise. Make sure no cheat is active in the Cheat Menu prior to restarting or starting the required mission for the achievement. Usually a whole mission should be completed from start to finish without using cheats. The Cheat Menu is used to activate cheats. This menu can be opened via the Pause Menu and is accessible once at least 1 cheat has been unlocked via Bounty Hunter Mode.

🏆 Story Mode (20 achievements)

These are the player's bread-and-butter progresion achievements for playing through the story. The last one under this category, a_CompleteChapter27, is the win condition for "beating" the game.

These achievements will only unlock in Story Mode, not in Bounty Hunter Mode. Any difficulty can be used to unlock these. More on difficulties, refer to Story Mission Challenges

🏆 Story Challenges (26 achievements)

These achievements are a set of custom-made challenge achievements for a few select story missions. The challenge achievements which are allowed on any difficulty can also be achieved in Bounty Hunter Mode, any others are not allowed in that mode.

Most achievements in this category require specific difficulty levels. Achievements can always be unlocked on higher difficulties than the minimum required.

  • Hard is unlocked by completing the game on Normal.
  • Very Hard and Red Wood Revolver are both unlocked by completing the game on Hard.

Additional Notes

  • The player is required to finish a mission from start to finish without using any cheats. Although a select few of these custom-made challenge achievements require certain cheats to be active for the trigger indicator to show up. The best way to be eligible for unlocking the achievement, is to activate the cheat once the mission starts. Then restart the level through the pause menu. If everything is in order, a trigger indicator should be displayed, telling the player he's eligible for unlocking the achievement.

  • To access cheats, players must first unlock them by completing missions in Bounty Hunter Mode, which becomes available after finishing the game once on the selected player profile. A detailed list of which cheats correspond to specific Bounty Hunter missions can be found on the Red Dead Fandom Wiki - Cheats. Each unlockable cheat is tied to at least one achievement in this category.

  • Don't forget to turn off the cheats if they're not required for certain achievements.

  • As long as the trigger indicator is active the player is eligible for unlocking the achievements under this category when the post-mission reward menu is displayed. Specific details on trigger and measured indicators are documented per achievement.

  • If for some reason the achievement doesn't unlock, or the trigger indicator is not displayed. Double check the difficulty, mission and cheat requirements of the achievement then restart the level when all requirements are set correctly.

Additional Notes

This indicator will hide once the loading screen starts or when any settings are incorrect. Although this indicator is not necessary to have been displayed for the achievement to be unlocked. Only the trigger indicator which is shown during the match is of importance.

  • When a trigger indicator is displayed on the post-match overview menu, the player has completed the Showdown challenge. On pressing OK, to display the continue popup window, the achievement should unlock.

  • GAME BUG: The trigger indicator shown when setting up the Showdown match at the main menu may not display properly when shifting through the Showdown stages too fast (the ID which checks for the selected Showdown stage may not update properly when shifting through the stages too fast...) To make the trigger indicator appear properly, just don't shift through the Showdown stages too quickly. Although as mentioned above as well. This indicator is not necessary to have been displayed.

Title (dev_id) Guidance & Insights

Bounty Boards

lb_Chapter...

- This is a series of leaderboards for completing different story chapters on different difficulties.
- There's about 20 story missions (with a post-mission reward menu) and about 4 difficulties to master.

- This series of leaderboards is not functional in Bounty Hunter Challenge Mode.

Start Requirements

- The corresponding chapter must have been started from the beginning. After 7-20 seconds (depends on cutscenes) the leaderboard will start.
- No cheat must be active prior to starting the mission.

Cancel Conditions

- Leaderboard will be canceled when any cheat is active.
- When the player replays/restarts the level or quits.

Submit Conditions

- The leaderboard will submit when pressing OK on the post-mission reward menu.

Measured Value

- The score which is submitted/shown during gameplay is a custom score created with the following aspects:
∙ Bounty/money collected during gameplay + the bounty reward for completing the mission.
∙ Accuracy
∙ Damage taken
∙ Time spent in mission
∙ Best Combo
∙ Headshots
∙ Death toll / Kills
∙ Rating stars achieved (shown on the post-mission reward menu).


The Full Formula:
(BountyCollected * ((accuracy * 5) + 12))
- (RawDamageTaken * 5)
- (TimeInSeconds * 3)
+ (BestCombo * BestComboMultiplier)
+ (BestCombo * BestComboMultiplier) (yes... twice)
+ (Headshots * 500)
+ (DeathToll/Killcount * 200)
+ (10,000 for each stat star)

Examples:

  • Headshots - 7/12
  • Enemies left - 11/100
  • Accuracy - 47%
  • Coins collected - 88%

• Triggered Indicator

An indicator displayed by the Retro Achievements overlay, typically used to show when a challenge achievement is available for unlocking or when it is currently active. If this indicator disappears before the achievement unlocks, it often signals a failure, indicating that a retry is necessary.

Examples:

  • All enemies killed, kill the boss
  • Player has not yet taken a hit - for a hitless achievement
  • All requirements are met, continue the game to unlock...
