    This achievement is very easy... first, I struggled to make a headshot kill with Golden Harbinger (melee weapon) but it's pretty easy after accidentally finding a trick to grind. First.. you will get this weapon by killing "Gergis the Herald" during the DLC mission. Just you need to equip this weapon on any slot and during combat, get a headshot with a bow while your health is a bit low and it'll count towards the achievement. Even animal kills also count towards progression. Get 10 headshot kills and Achievement will POP.dance

    UPDATE:
    1. Civilian kills also counts towards the achievement, which will progress faster to get this achievement.
    2. You can have full health during kills, no need to get hurt, and regenerate health through kills to progress towards the achievement.

    UPDATE 1: Thanks to Basement Cheese and LLboxed
    As Basement Cheese told YOU can be at full HEALTH while hitting headshot, So no healing stuff is needed for this achievement.

    UPDATE 2: Thanks to JeroenRos and SweptbackFlame
    JeroenRos and SweptbackFlame added more easy ways to get headshot kills... you can headshot civilians with the bow and it counts as kills towards achievement.
    SweptbackFlame commented that "Once you get the weapon if you go straight to the Smoke and Fury mission, you can just headshot civilians with the bow. They count as kills. There are tons of civilians you can headshot and they don't even move."
    This method is faster to grind kills for this achievement.

    WithTheDawnWow, this really is completely glitched for me. Played through the whole DLC again and did a manual save before getting this weapon. I've tried three more times now from re-loading and getting 20-30 headshot kills with the weapon equipped...I'm at a loss, what a waste of time...

    UnfurledEmu75Aclaration: the Golden Harbinger is not a bow... I spent quite a while looking for it as a bow

    Ksar96@UnfurledEmu75 I already mentioned on the solution that It is a Melee Weapon.

    A quick tip: Not only do enemies count towards this achievement, but random NPCs as well. You can simply kill NPCs with headshot by shooting arrows. (It's easier when you've got a whole yellow bar and hit them in the head with Predator Arrows).

    Pretty self-explainatory. Equip melee weapon Golden Harbinger which you will get by progressing through the DLC. When you have it equppied find any enemies and when they take some of your life make sure your 10x headshots will actually be lethal 10x to heal and the achievment will pop.
