Achievement guide · roadmap · tracker

26 achievements Guide 91%

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is Techland's snappy, arcade-style spaghetti-western FPS, and its 26 achievements make for a fair, replayable 100% - roughly 12-15 hours, and moderate rather than punishing since it's nearly all skill and replay, not luck. The story runs on three difficulty tiers: finish it once on any difficulty (That's How it WasThat's How it Was), once on Hard (Grows In The TellingGrows In The Telling) and once on True West, the hardest (Last Man StandingLast Man Standing) - and because every chapter is replayable via chapter select, nothing here can be permanently lost.

There are 54 Nuggets of Truth scattered across the 14 story missions - grab every Nugget in a single mission for True StoryTrue Story and all 54 for Unvarnished TruthUnvarnished Truth (the Ranger truth-sense skill helps you spot them). The fiddly bits are the timing feats: Swift JusticeSwift Justice (win an honourable duel in under 0.6s), Trick ShotTrick Shot (shoot a bird mid-duel and still win), UngratefulUngrateful (shoot a thrown dynamite stick and its thrower in one Concentration) and Turkey ShootTurkey Shoot (a 20-kill combo).

The two endings - Into the SunsetInto the Sunset (forgive) and Violence Begets ViolenceViolence Begets Violence (kill) - are mutually exclusive on a single choice, but you can grab both by replaying the final chapter and picking the other option. Recommended run: play through on Hard collecting all Nuggets and mopping up feats, do the True West run second, then clean up Arcade stars and duel-mode honour.
