Bounty of Blood Achievement Guide
By Nennoh
A quick, basic guide to 100% Bounty of Blood DLC for a total of 8 achievements.

NOTE:
  • None of the achievements are missable.
  • The main story will take you somewhere around 2 hours to beat, while side missions and Crew Challenges will probably take you another 2 to 4 hours. It's advised you do some of them alongside the main quest to save yourself some time and avoid excessive backtracking.

Story-related Achievements
The following achievements will unlock automatically as you progress through the DLC's main story. Finish the campaign and you'll acquire a total of 5 achievements.

Stone Cold Killer
Complete mission “Blood from a Stone”.

It's a Wash
Complete mission “The Name of the Law”.

Getting Off Track
Complete mission “Off the Rails”.

Bounty: Hunted
Complete mission “Where It All Started”.

Ruin on the Horizon
Complete mission “Riding to Ruin”.
Side Missions & Crew Challenges
Side Missions
Helpful Hunter
Complete all side missions on Gehenna.

There are a total of 11 Side Missions scattered throughout the DLC maps; some of them will only become available once you've progressed far enough into the main story. None of the choices you make during these quests will impact the achievement.

Vestige
  • The Quick and the Quicker — I've heard the quest glitches out for some players, so you ought to complete this one as soon as you get it.
The Blastplains
  • Miracle Elixir Fixer
  • Money Back Guarantee — If there are nearby enemies in the area, clear them out before entering the man's shop. Otherwise, the enemies will follow you into the store, which will scare the quest giver away from the counter and you won't be able to talk to him. If this happens, simply exit the map and return right after.
  • Devil Rustlers
  • Saurdew Valley — Avoid killing the Imps as the quest might bug out on you. For me, the quest indicator disappeared from the map and I couldn't find any other eggs afterwards. Despite this, if you complete the other two assignments and turn them in, the side mission will count as completed for the achievement, however, the mission itself will still remain active.
Ashfall Peaks
  • The Legend of McSmugger
  • Dirty Deeds
Obsidian Forest
  • Of Blood and Beans
  • Lost and Found
Bloodsun Canyon
  • The Meatman Prophecy
  • The Dandy and Damsel

Crew Challenges
That's Quite Challenging
Complete all crew challenges on Gehenna.

Some Crew Challenges won't be accessible until you've progressed far enough into the story to unlock new abilities (the bouncing green shrooms, teleporters and the ability to shatter explosive crystals). Keep in mind that Sato's Cache drops can only be obtained after you've collected all of his Sagas on each map. Once collected, the cache drop's location will be marked on your map.

NOTE: There's a chance that some Good Prospects chests might not count the first time you open them (I believe this is caused by scripted dialogue scenes preventing the Prospector's audio logs from correctly playing). If you run into this glitch, simply exit and reenter the map. The chest should now reset, allowing you to reopen it once again, completing the Crew Challenge.

Color Map Guide:
  • Red circles - Sato's Saga
  • Pink circles - Sato's Cache
  • Yellow circles - Creature Feature
  • Green circles - Good Prospects
  • Orange circles - Most Wanted
  • Blue circles - Skin to Win
  • White circle - Sheriff Prison Cell Chest — This is an optional bonus chest on Vestige and is not required to get any achievements. You must first find all other Good Prospects chests before this one appears. After which, go to the Saloon and find a bookcase to the left side of the bar counter. Simply interact with it and you'll open up a secret door that leads to the Cell's chest.
Vestige
The Blastplains
Ashfall Peaks
Obsidian Forest
Bloodsun Canyon
Crater's Edge

In case you need a more detailed walkthrough for very specific or hard to reach locations, be sure to check out this video guide (each Crew Challenge has a timestamp). Credit for the video goes to AchievementSquad.

Final
How the West Was Done
Complete all plot missions, side missions, and crew challenges on Gehenna.

This will unlock automatically after you've completed all other tasks on Gehenna and acquired the other 7 achievements.
Conclusion
Hope this helped you out. Feel free to give feedback or correct me if I've made any mistakes.

I can spot another bug on a secondary mission on the Psycho Dlc. The one which need to shoot at the axe on the floor. That's make impossible to get all secondary missions

Apparently, lots of people have issues with unlocking Bounty of Blood achievements. It's likely that they're bugged at the moment and might get patched in the future with the upcoming content update.

@[BzX]Katana Puffin Same happened to me, the story acheivements worked, but the three others did not.:BL3Shrug:

@[BzX]Katana Puffin If you've done everything with a single character, then it's likely a bug. From what I've read on forums, apparently, the most common issue as to why it doesn't unlock is if you don't do all the side missions before completing some of the main story. Your best bet is to look elsewhere for a potential fix, load another save or replay the DLC campaign with another character (the game lets you start off with a pre-leveled character for DLC campaigns, and you can just scrap them later without losing anything on your main).

Me and my friends have completed all the secondary missions and crew challenges but nothing popped up. Here's the screen, maybe it's a bug?

Thank you so much bro, I already found other chest.

@T1mmYBrowN DY7622335 In the Saloon, there's a bookcase to the left side of the bar. Merely interact with it and you'll open up the hidden path to the locked cell. This chest only appears after you've found all other hidden chest on Gehenna.

How to get that chest locked in the door? The location is in vestige. I see you didn't unlock it too:D

I've updated the guide to include Good Prospects chest glitch. From what I can tell, the prospector's audio logs need to play when you open the chest in order for the crew challenge to count. They're usually prevented from playing by scripted dialogue scenes.

Good Prospects chests; If the chest is still green after opening, restart to main menu and open it again.
