Tomake money fast in Red Dead Redemption 2 and get cash isn't easy as an outlaw, but you can make money in a variety of ways regardless - usually by helping strangers, killing bandits, or vice versa if you're feeling a little more "black hat". There's a lot of ways to make cash beyond that, such as hunting and selling meat at butcher shops, but a lot of these only provide drip-feed income, suitable for refilling ammo and little else.
It's hard not to be poor in the earlier chapters, though things get a little better later when you unlock (ha, ha) the Red Dead Redemption 2 fence locations and lock breaker to trade your collected trinkets for actual cash, but even after then it's worth knowing some good money making schemes. Here's some solid ways to make money fast in Red Dead Redemption 2, and how you can pay off just about any bounty you accrue.
but I was told, if you dump all your money at your camp, you can turn yourself in and the bounty will go away. about getting your money back from the camp is a different story, that I don't know what happens there...
Yes, if you get arrested, they pretty much rob you blind. Ive lost all my money when I have tried it with less than 300$. Now, when I get high bounties/wanted dead or alive.. I always go buy things I need first and then donate the rest to camp before turning myself into reset all the stupid high priced bounties. If you don't, they show up on you at the weirdest times, bounty parties can spawn right on you as well. Many missions/things you do constantly put you into a wanted state or bounty on you,
I seem to recall reading that when "The Law" kills you or arrests you, you only lose a portion of your money (it's usually about 10%, iirc), but if a Bounty Hunter takes you down, they rifle through your pockets and take all your money.
Making money comes with the job in Red Dead Redemption 2. As in, after most main missions, you'll walk away with at least some cash. In this guide, you will find eight potential methods to earn money quickly in RDR2, whether it's through cheat codes, completing story missions, hunting treasures, or even more.
You can start finding treasure early in the game. There are a lot of Treasure Maps to find in the world, and they lead to expensive things like pearl necklaces, gold, cash, and sometimes, more treasure maps.
It can be tempting to finish missions as fast as possible, especially considering that looting every. single. body. can be pretty time consuming, but we promise it's worth it. Those gold wedding rings, silver heirloom watches, and platinum belt buckles, really add up in value. We never said it was honorably, but it's a great way to make easy money. You're going to kill them all anyway, right?
Once you loot those dead bodies, and steal stuff, like this $500 gold ingot, you'll need a place to sell them. Like we mentioned before, that stagecoach fence in Emerald Ranch will probably be the first to buy stolen goods from you, but there's more. Here's a few of their locations:
Story missions really do give you your biggest payday, and if you play them right, you'll usually walk away from your black-hatting without a serious or concerning bounty. These will also unlock fences that will buy your stolen goods.
Okay, yes, kill rival gangs, but only if they start it. If you antagonize an O'Driscoll into fighting you, you'll get a bounty for killing them. Anyway, the goal is to just kill them and loot them for their stuff to sell at fences.
You can do these side missions, or you can stealthily rob houses on your own. This is a bit risky if they're occupied, but when they're empty, just make sure to close the drawers and chests you open to prevent detection.
While there are 37 cheat codes available to be used in Red Dead Redemption 2, it is the "Greed is American Virtue" cheat that you may find most intriguing to try out. Providing a total of $500 each time the cheat code is activated, it won't take too long to rack up quite the stack of money.
This is easier said than done. There are random encounters that involve sketchy characters asking for your help in making a quick buck. Usually, they're just going to rob you. We've lost $900 this way - a 1/3 of our wealth. When in doubt, save your game, then go on the sketchy adventure.
Don't fight the law - you'll get an additional $30 bounty per person you kill - and that's how you really dig yourself far, far into an expensive as heck hole. If you do rack up a bounty, see How to Get Rid of a Bounty. Basically... you'll have to pay it.
There are certain missions in RDR 2 that requires you to give away money to complete them, such as "Do Not Seek Absolution II" and others. But what happens in these missions if your bank account is empty and Arthur does not have any money to give?
You have good friends. Even if you are without money on missions that require it you will find prices are lower than they would normally be, there's a cheaper version of the necessary item, you can choose an alternate course of action, or friends will give you cash.
For instance, one of the earliest missions in the game A Quiet Time culminates in you running from the police while thoroughly inebriated. If you are caught you won't have to pay the $10 bounty because your buddy pays it off for you.
Lastly, in one of the mission The Sheep and The Goats you will need to purchase a Rolling Block Rifle - an expensive weapon typically selling for $189! Thankfully your buddy John Marston will call in a favor and have the gunsmith sell it for free, thereby saving your wallet and ensuring you can purchase the firearm.
There are a variety of ways to continue a mission even if you don't have the requisite cash. In most cases it will not require reloading a mission's checkpoint, but it is not impossible to force that hand either. No matter what, the game will make accommodations for Arthur Morgan.
Gathering cash is obviously an important part of life in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. How else can you buy guns, ammo, and horses? Players can earn (or steal) money in a wide variety of ways, from robbing trains to playing cards and everything in between.
Some of these activities are seriously fun! But others are a grind. It's easy to be frustrated that the three hours you spent playing Poker in Flatneck Station only earned you $12 (and possibly an extra $5 if you completed that Gambler achievement). Just because a Red Dead Redemption 2 mini-game provides cash doesn't mean that it's worth the effort. Some moneymakers, however, are surprisingly easy.
There's no shame in being a Red Dead Redemption 2 gold digger. Seriously! Players who find a Gold Nugget can sell it for $25 and Gold Bars are worth a whopping $500. The best part is that these 'rare' items are actually all over the map, they're rarely defended, and they're easy to find for players who know where to look. Actually, they'll appear often even for players who don't know where to look.
Gold Nuggets can be found in random chests, lockboxes, and even nightstands throughout all regions of the game map. Some players have found them on the floor of a cabin. Gold Bars, however, are a little rarer and are usually the reward for completing a Treasure Map. Players will always be delighted to dig up a chest full of Gold Bars. Obviously.
Sure, a few high-profile bounties will yield a pocket full of cash. But most won't. Players who complete a bounty hunting mission can expect to bring home between $15 and $100, depending on the difficulty and if the target is brought back alive. And none of those criminals will come quietly.
Adding up the time it takes to collect the bounty, go to the target's last location, find the target, eliminate their many allies, kill or hogtie them, stow them behind the saddle, take down their extra allies that give chase, make it to the sheriff's station, drop the target's body, and collect the cash, it's easy to see that only high-dollar bounties are worth doing. And players can get killed pretty easily.
A really fun way to pass the time in this game is to assault an enemy gang's hideout. Though there are a lot of enemies to take down, their bodies will yield some good loot items, and there's usually a sizeable money stash. Take cover with a powerful rifle or repeater and you'll be fine.
One of the best hideouts to attack is the O'Driscoll headquarters at Hanging Dog Ranch. There are at least 15 enemies here, and make sure to loot them, because each O'Driscoll will have at least $2 and a valuable item. Players can also find a bunch of supplies plus a large stash of bills in the upstairs bedroom. Other gang hideouts are located at Butcher Creek, Shady Belle, and Fort Mercer.
Given how much money it costs to buy a new horse in the game, most people think that selling horses should generate just as much income. But that would be too easy. Stolen or tamed wild horses can be sold at a Stable or at the Fence that becomes available after Chapter 3. However, these places will only give a fraction of the horse's sale value, and players need to bond the horse to at least Level 2 for the dollar amount to be (somewhat) worth the effort.
Some of the rare wild horses are worth a decent Fence price. For players willing to trek into the high mountains of Ambarino, they can tame and sell a bonded White Arabian for $96. But the far majority of game horses will yield $15 or less. This probably isn't the most efficient method of getting cash.
Don't feel bad about 'robbing' Mother Nature of her precious goods. Someone has to bring the bacon back to camp (literally, if they just hunted a boar). Sure, non-pristine animal pelts, meat, feathers, claws, and other materials aren't worth much by themselves, but it's easy to accumulate a heap of these items very quickly. Just take a walk in the Grizzlies with a Springfield Rifle and a Varmint Rifle and shoot/skin everything in sight.
