Comments on the guide for Valve Gift Grab 2011 – CS:S in Counter-Strike: Source by Dass

1 0 2

This achievement is, as of 2016, unobtainable. The original way of achieving it was by grabbing gifts dropped by opponents (bots or other players) after you killed them. The achievement was tied to the Winter Event of Christmas 2011.

Since then there have been many discussions in possible strategies of how to get it, with one consisting of changing the PC date to Christmas 2011, but it has since been proved that this won't work. Just check the old Steam forums or the Steam Community CS:S discussions and you can see the frustration around this single broken achievement.

People who are getting this achievement in recent times most probably cheated using an unlocker.

Edit: As of 2017, there is a new way to get this achievement without using an unlocker, you can change the version of the game. Some achievement stats sites are not allowing this method, and I'm not sure if TSA allows it as well, so you need to do it at your own risk.

you can still get it by installing a previous version of css yea its not the complete legit way of getting it but its better than using sam . Its like csgo achievements 99% of people used community servers to get the really difficult time consuming achievements . here is a video showing how to do it Credit goes to Nobody - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZupU76Q15js&feature....be

Thanks for your comment, Danny (and sorry for my really late answer). Although it's nice that people found a solution for this since these discontinued achievements are so annoying, i don't know if the TrueSteam Achievements community allows it, so i can't recommend using that method :(
