Red Dead Redemption 2: A Complete Guide To The Bandit Challenges (2024)

The Bandit Challenges in Red Dead Redemption 2 include ten different objectives for players to complete. Each objective requires players to break the law and survive to tell the tale. Going into these challenges without a strategy can result in a frustratingly difficult experience.

All of the objectives can be completed in a few minutes if gamers know the correct approach for each. Gamers will need to complete all ten Bandit challenges if they want to unlock the Legend of the East Outfit. With the tips in this guide, players will have no problem finishing all of the Bandit challenges.

Preparing For The Bandit Challenges

The primary thing gamers will need to complete these challenges is money. Bounties are expensive to pay off, and gamers will have to pay off a lot of them. It is probably a good idea to complete the main storyline and accrue extra cash before grinding through all ten challenges. At the end of the main quests, gamers should have all the money they need to evade the law.

Hold Up Five Townsfolk

The first Bandit challenge is relatively straightforward. Gamers need to draw their weapon andthreaten five townspeople. However, doing so will alert the entire town that the player is a threat and all of the NPCs will run away. Likewise, the sheriff will not be far behind. Gamers can adopt two strategies.

The first is to just hold up as many people as possible and die on purpose. Next players can return and hold up the remaining people. This is by far the fastest method. Another method is to travel from town to town, but it will be more time-consuming.

Rob Two Coaches Along The Road

Actually attempting to rob a coach on the road is seemingly impossible. The driver will flee, shoot back, or both. To get around the tedium of robbing a coach with a driver, players should head to Emerald Ranch. There, gamers can get in two of the coaches that spawn and drive them into the fence's barn. No fighting or Hijacking needed.

Rob The Cash Register In AnyFour Shops In One Day

For the aforementioned reasons, committing multiple crimes in one town is not a good strategy. Instead, players should travel to four different towns and rob a register in each town. Going from town to town is a much easier and cheaper way to complete the cash register challenge.

Rob Three Coaches In A Day

Challenge four can be completed using the same method as challenge two. Look for abandoned coaches and drive them into the barn. This challenge is simple enough.

Amass A $250 Bounty In One State

To complete this challenge, all players need to do is go on a rampage. Gamers can ride into any village and open fire on any NPCs that are nearby. It does not matter if players get killed, so they can bring out the big guns and fire away. Rockstar had to include a challenge based on total mayhem for nostalgia's sake.

Steal Five Horses And Sell Them To The Horse Fence At Clemens Cove

Gamers should take an approach similar to the coach challenges. Players should travel along the railroad tracks in Clemens Cove to the west of Saint Denis. There, players can steal the horse of an NPC, or bring wild horses to the fence. Either way, gamers will be able to complete the challenge in just a few minutes.

Rob $50 Worth Of Cash And Valuables From Townsfolk Or Travelers

Attempting this challenge in one of the towns is an arduous task. Gamers should hop on a train and rob the captive riders instead. While there will be people for gamers to fend off on the train, it is much easier than running from the law while wanted. Just one ride on the train and players should be able to collect $50.

Steal Seven Wagons And Sell Them To The Fence At Emerald Ranch

At this point, gamers will be well acquainted with the fence at Emerald Ranch. Gamers should peruse the area for wagons and turn them in, just like the other coach challenges.

Hogtie Someone And Leave Them On The Railroad Three Times

Gamers can complete the challenge in Emerald Ranch right after completing the prior challenge. Players need to find and hogtie three NPCs near the ranch and place them on the tracks, which are just yards away. After the second person is hogtied, the cops will track players down. Gamers can just tie up one of the lawmen to finish off the challenge.

Complete Five Train Robberies Without Dying Or Being Caught

Players will need to buy a train ticket and hop on the train. Once it is moving, gamers will want to make their way to the front of the train. In one of the front railcars, players will be able to steal a few items and hop off the train. Gamers can repeat this process five times to complete all ten of the Bandit challenges in Red Dead 2.
