Use Steam Achievement Manager 5.0 to unlock the newly released Milestone Achievements including the Huntsman, Razorback, Jarate, Dead Ringer, Cloak and Dagger, Dead Ringer and Ambassador. Use SAM 5.0 to unlock Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) achievements on November 17th, 2009. Below are some charts that breaks down your chances of random drops in Team Fortress 2 (TF2), hats and more. The short, short version is that 1 in 244 drops is a hat. The rarest hat is the Spy’s Fancy Fedora and the most common is the Pyro’s Beanie.
How do you use it?
- Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 if you do not already have it installed.
- Download Steam Achievement Manager.
- Extract it to a directory that is convenient to you, but not your Steam directory. It’s a ZIP file, if you don’t know how to extract a ZIP file then you probably shouldn’t be trying to use this tool.
- Run Steam if it is not already running.
- Exit any active VAC protected games if any are running. While this tool does not directly interact with any game itself, it is better safe than sorry.
- Run Steam Achievement Manager and do whatever you want in it.

SAM.picker won’t start for me. I’m running vista… :/
Either it hates vista with a passion (I seem to remember having similar problems in the past using it on vista) or a recent update has broken it.
Did you install .net framework 3.5? did you uninstall ALL your previous SAM .dlls?
Gives me an error: Steam Achievement Manager Picker has encountered a problem and needs to close. I can’t even get the program open, now. Perhaps a Steam client update fixed it?
Rick, the guy who wrote it is on a bar crawl across Paraguay currently and will look into it later.

Achievement manager won’t work for me either, same error as above.
It says Steam is not one and needs to be on when it is.What?
