Dead Presidents is a hidden Story Mode achievement, named after a well-worn slang term for cash, though Rockstar has not confirmed exactly what earns it. It sits at 16.9%, rare, just ahead of The Data Breaches in how often players reach it. The name alone hints at money or a heist in some way, which fits with plenty of the game's content, so it is not a reliable clue toward one specific mission on its own. Absent a confirmed source, the honest answer is that nobody outside Rockstar has published a definite trigger for it. As with the game's other unlisted achievements, this tends to arrive as a surprise mid-session rather than something worth planning a run around.
