    This is a real time achievement. You have to clear a house in The Slums with 100% loot collected on Christmas Eve (24th December).

    You can wait until the 24th or go offline with your xbox (System->Network->Go Offline, forget all networks, Hard reset the console then go System->System and change the date). You won't get a notification for the achievement if done offline but once connected, load the game and it should appear.

    Note, you will need at least Hacking Lv1 to complete this achievement in game. This can be done at any point in the game as The Slums is always open but will be easiest at the start of a fresh save.

    Edit: Hacking Lv1 not needed. Thanks for those in the comments point this out!

    13/03/17: It's looking like this method has been patched out. You'll now have to wait until Christmas Eve to pop it by completing a Slums level with 100% loot.

    Dang3R GamingOkay, so I've cleared out a house in the slums with 100% loot. I've set my time forward so it's the 24th, no achievement. Any ideas? Or maybe I will just have to wait till tomorrow?

    ^I had the same problems, but I'll wait until the 24th actually comes around for my time zone. :-P

    axeraider15I was able to get this on the 23rd. Console said it was the 23rd and everything. I am just throwing this out there so other people can see, and comment if the window is larger than just "the 24th"

    WhyattThrashYou don't need the hacking upgrade, until you've bought the upgrade just collecting all the money counts as 100%.

    Mr RodsterConfirmed: you do not need the hacking upgrade. That part should be removed from the solution, or at least clarified.

    EarthboundXYep, this is based on GMT. Just did this at 9PM PST on the 23rd, and it unlocked. GMT is 8 hours ahead of PST.
