"Fight off 8 unique players during your time on top during Land Grab in Multiplayer Free Roam."
Just in case the requirements of this achievement aren't clear, you have to:
- Start a Land Grab match in normal or hardcore free roam. Friendly free roam doesn't have Land Grab. It can be either a private or public session.
- Kill 8 unique attackers in that match while you're in possession of the land. If you lose your claim during the match, you can reclaim it and continue where you left off. If the match ends before you get 8 unique kills, you'll have to start over in a new match.
- "Unique" attackers means 8 different players. Killing the same player more than once won't count.
- Players in your posse don't count as attackers.
- To maintain your claim on the land, you have to stay inside the blue circle, but the attackers don't have to be inside the blue circle when you kill them. (Thanks to DeceptiveTen for the info.)
One way to unlock the achievement is for 9 or more players to boost it together in a private free roam session. You can probably get 2 or 3 or more players boosted during one Land Grab match. After the first match is over, the whole group will have to transport over to another town and start another match. It should only take about 30 minutes to get everyone boosted, assuming everyone has headsets and is working together. (Afterward, you may want to make sure everyone has the "Posse Up" achievement before everyone goes their separate ways.)
If you want to earn this achievement legit, I wish you luck, because I don't think it will be easy. The biggest problem with attempting this achievement in a random public free roam is that you can't count on 8 players challenging you. Even in a full free roam, a few players are probably going to be clearing hideouts, working on public enemy challenges, or whatever, and they won't drop what they're doing to play Land Grab with you. Unfortunately, you have no control over this, and it's why boosting might be necessary.
If you still want to try getting it legit, first make sure you have decent weapons: dynamite, high power or Mauser pistol, etc. Don't try this at rank 1 with nothing but a Cattleman revolver and a melee knife. If your rank is low, get weapons from hideouts or from killing higher-ranked players. Also, it wouldn't hurt to clear out one of the Liars and Cheats hideouts first, so you can bring the explosive rifle with you.
It will also help to use casual aim, to boost your ability to lock on to targets. This is no time to be an auto-aim snob! To do this, go to Options, Config and change your multiplayer targeting mode to casual. You can change it back to normal or expert after unlocking the achievement.
As you get kills, invite the players you've killed to join your posse. One reason for doing this is to help you keep track of who you've killed and who you haven't. The other reason is that if they join your posse, they may decide to stop trying to kill you, and you may even be able to convince them to help you. |

This cheevo is extremely hard to get without boosting. So find 8 other players and start up a Private Free Roam session. Go to a Land Grab marker on the map (my group used Blackwater) and group up there. Have 8 ppl hug each other and the person who wants the cheevo has to start the Land Grab and throw a Dynamite stick at the 8 ppl.. They should all blow up instantly and your cheevo should pop :D. When everybody respawns go back to the Land Grab marker and its the next guy's turn. Easy as pie.
If the timer runs out before every one gets the cheevo, wait a few mins for the Land Grab marker to reset, or go to another one.
With this method it took my group about 10 minutes for every one to get the cheevo. You can also shoot the 8 players or kill them in what ever way you like, Dynamite is the fastest tho.
We were not in a Posse, i dont know if it matters for the cheevo. A big thanks to the people who helped me get it :D |

If you find yourself quite a large session with lots of people in MacFarlane's Ranch, you can easily get the achievement.
Make your way to the Foreman's office where the land grab is and get in cover behind the walls.
I'd recommend your load out is: bolt action rifle to kill the majority of people, high power pistol to kill people in close proximity when you're nearly dead, a carcano rifle to take out people who are sniping you, and a semi-auto shotgun to kill people who are coming up the stairs to where you are camping.
Watch for people throwing dynamite; you can tell someone is about to throw it by the sound it makes. They have to be quite close to the office to get the dynamite up to the top to kill you, so make sure you look close for them.
Try and get as many head shots as possible to make this quicker (aim your gun then move it slightly upwards).
Eight people are quite easy to kill using this method, you just have to hope you get into quite an active game. |

Hey all those Red Dead Redemption killers. Here is the easiest way that my friends and I have done to get this achievements.
Gather 9 friends to go into one free roam room and gather all up in one huddle close by the land grab marker.
Then player who needs the achievement start the land grab and throw a dynamite into the crowd of friends. And there it is..... It should be that easy... To the next player and gather everyone up. One dynamite and 8 friends in a huddle.
Good luck |
