    Vendetta missions will start to appear after you complete the first Ratbag mission, around five story missions in.

    In a Vendetta mission, you are tasked with hunting down an Orc who killed another player. You'll search an area to find them in Wraith mode (press cn_LB). Locating them will immediately reveal their weaknesses. Use the weaknesses and the terrain to plan an assault on the target.

    Kill them to unlock the achievement. If you die, you will have to wait for another Vendetta mission to appear.

    XSNIPER1990XWould love to see more developers put patches in like this to allow achievements to be obtainable after server shutdowns. Hope other developers are closely watching this move

    Up to date solution as of January 2021

    While this achievement was scheduled to be discontinued when Vendetta missions were shut down at the end of 2020, it has now been patched and will remain obtainable.

    Per the developer:
    You get killed by a Captain and then avenge yourself. So it's not an online vendetta, it's a personal vendetta.
    Captains that have killed you before are marked in the Sauron's Army screen as a Revenge Target with a red triangle over their head. Kill one of them and the achievement should unlock.

    I had a little trouble getting this to show up, and since the clock is ticking, figured I'd share my experience.
    Having your account email verified on WBPlay doesn't seem to be necessary. I'm gonna present two options here, the one I used and an abbreviated one since I probably did some unnecessary stuff.

    My procedure:
    1) Sign up for a WBPlay account, email verification not required.
    2) Start the game and play through the first 3 story missions: The Slaver; The Spirit of Mordor; An Interested Party. At this point red side missions should start showing up like the ones I mentioned above.
    3) Switch to a second account, sign up a for a WPlay account with them too.
    4) Start the game and play through the 1st 3 story missions. Find a captain and let them kill you. The captain that showed up in the mission was actually one that killed me before finishing those 3 missions, so it might not be strictly necessary.
    5) Quit and log back in with your primary account
    6) Advance Time several times? No luck
    7) Start heading towards a random uruk to interrogate him? Jackpot, before the guy even saw me.

    Quick procedure.
    1) Sign up for a WBPlay account with your secondary account
    2) Start playing with the second account and get far enough in the story that you can be killed by a random, non-story captain. You certainly need to complete the tutorial, may need to complete "The Slaver" also.
    3) Switch to you main account, sign up for WBPlay.
    4) Play though the first 3 missions.
    5) Wander around until the vendetta mission pops up. It may not show up while you are in a story mission, it may not show up in a side mission. Mine showed up while traveling out of missions. Took less than five minutes after I stopped just advancing time.
