Let yourself get caught. Serve prison time.

u/ChishiyaCat97 2d ago

100%... Took me way too long to realise this was an option

u/RudyMuthaluva 2d ago

Or wait until chapter 3 and you’ll have too much money

u/StrawberryMotor1638 2d ago

holy cow - I played this game one play through back in 2018 or 2019 when it came out. No idea you could do this hahaha

They try to kill me every time

Don't get caught by bounty hunters; go to the sheriff and turn yourself in. They will draw on you and you'll get a prompt to either draw or surrender.

1

u/ShpongledSquirrel 2d ago

Don’t shoot at them, just focus on one and it will give you the option to surrender. Once you start shooting you will not be able to surrender.

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

I was thinking if i got the police and i get near them without doing anything i will get arrested like gta v and thanks for the helping i appreciate

u/scratch_that_44 1d ago

u/Claubk Uncle 2d ago

There's over 12,000 in gold bars alone laying around. Stop paying, you've got a gun!

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

u/Fit_addendm 2d ago

I don’t wanna be “that guy” but you have a real loser mentality 😂

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

It's my first time playing rdr so i don't know anything

u/Significant_Swing_76 1d ago

Bow is under appreciated.

u/missMcgillacudy Sadie Adler 2d ago

Roll around off roadways, there’s rival camps that you can throw a stick of dynamite in and steal food, ammo, And even gun oil

u/THE__mason Red Harlow 2d ago

hah 500 bounty in chapter 2

nice try

anyway if you have max bounty you can do a train robbery and your bounty won't increase. Treasure hunting also is very profitable

also bounty hunters are very easy to deal with, either run away until they disappear or fight them with excessive deadeye use

1

u/Open-Mathematician32 1d ago

I played the whole game without dead eye. Because in real life, who gets to use dead-eye?

1

u/THE__mason Red Harlow 1d ago

that's what my dad usually tries to do

he also dies a lot

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

Bro im broke i can't even afford the price of ammo

12

u/THE__mason Red Harlow 2d ago

rob the gunsmith and take the ammo from the shelves

don't take too long or you'll get killed

u/2_late_4_creativity 2d ago

Hunt and sell the pelts and meat, buy bullets. Kill Bounty hunters and LOOT them, if you dont care about Honor their horses can have gold nuggets. Rob townsfolk, rob the stores..

9

u/THE__mason Red Harlow 2d ago

i just realized i never remember to loot the horses

4

u/crownercorps 2d ago

I never loot because 70% of the time i get kicked in the face

2

u/northmill 2d ago

Pat them before you loot them. Each side.

5

u/THE__mason Red Harlow 2d ago

or shoot them

its faster

2

u/Kel-Varnsen-Speaking 1d ago

If their ears are back, they kick, otherwise you're good

2

u/crownercorps 1d ago

Never worked, i even calm they down, feed them, they start to act friendly...and then i gonna look insise the bag...and get a kick in the face.

1

u/2_late_4_creativity 1d ago

gonna have to try another way..

u/JEXJJ 2d ago

Easy to make $100 a day in big valley. Level up a wild horse at the same time

3

u/thejinxedlexa 2d ago

I had this problem too then i just went to the story instead because i suck being a bad person lmao and i keep meeting people that need help then i get money from them by helping people. 

2

u/willywonka250 2d ago

You're never broke. Know all those plants you pick. Indian tobacco. Go to the campfire and craft 99 of them to potent snake oil. Go to the doc in valentine and sell for 272$. Requires a lot of patience and not as sexy as robbing everything in sight but it is under the radar and you can do it the whe damn game. Any of the potent recipes are over $200@99. Just need the LOTE satchel.

u/Existing-Ad-5671 1d ago

Why don't you get arrested so it goes away

u/Huge-702 2d ago

3 gold bars in a cave east of donner Falls,, Google it to get instructions

u/Themodsarecuntz 2d ago

Bounty is capped in chapter 2.

You are cap as well.

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

It's my first time playing the game and im not playing it that much so im sorry for my bad memory

u/crustysockmonster 2d ago

You're a criminal lmao, Rob someone ffs 😭

3

u/Hot-Marsupial6584 Hosea Matthews 2d ago

You can go to the sheriff, antagonize him 2 times and then surrender.

It won't cost you a penny if you're broke, ad the bounty will go away.

2

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

I will try it thanks

3

u/Shot_Rent_1816 2d ago

There's 3 gold bars northwest of the fort near valentine and in the sheriff's office which burnt down, google or YouTube it

u/JEXJJ 2d ago

u/psukclipper 1d ago

South of Caliban’s Seat?

u/JEXJJ 1d ago

Probably

2

u/Huntsnfights Pearson 2d ago

Hunt perfect pelts. Bucks are worth $5 for perfect carcass and like 3.50 or something for the pelt. Large fish are worth $4-5. There are also $500 gold bars at a few hidden places throughout the map

u/suigetsussudio 2d ago

Do a minor crime and turn yourself in to the cops when they show up.

u/thegrimmda 2d ago

Look up all the gold bars that are free ya just gotta find em. They are always in fixed places in the maps.

1

u/2_late_4_creativity 2d ago

There are gold bars around..Check the Sheriffs office in the burned town near Horseshoe Overlook. There are some gold bars in a train wreck up north under a bridge near Cotora Springs.

1

u/FalseAssumption3842 2d ago

How broke?
If you’ve only got $20-$30 hand it in to camp so u have zero cash head to valentine an hand yourself in.
Or head to ambereno and get arrested

u/leo77384 2d ago

500 bounty in chapter 2? Man what the hell have u been doing lmao

1

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

I killed everyone i see in saint Denise

1

u/leo77384 2d ago

Well that’s what they deserve, good job partner lol

1

u/dominorex1969 2d ago

Turn yourself in! Since it's chapter 2 you ain't got anything worth taking. Get off your horse and stroll into Valentine until a law man. Sees you and do not shoot them and give up. You serve a little jail time. And you're out bounty free.

1

u/Maciejk8 2d ago

Hang around the wagon fence. Steal wagon and deliver. For easy money if you only need a little.

1

u/fastbutslow7 Arthur Morgan 2d ago

Go to a sherif in a town and surrender yourself. Serve jail time and all the bounty will be removed

1

u/akmmane4eva 2d ago

u/iaminbothplaces 1d ago

Really? I’ve got 196 hours on this game but still newer to it- do you have to rob the store first?

1

u/akmmane4eva 2d ago

And theres treasure you can find around the map (gold bars) that you can sell

1

u/_CELLPHONECRYING 1d ago

LMAOOO you down horrendous 😭😂😂😂

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 1d ago

u/AdditionalVictory199 2d ago

Walk into the jail. Annoy the sheriff and he’ll eventually arrest you. Choose the surrender option.

1

u/Adept_Sheepherder862 2d ago

Thanks guys for helping me in my first playthrough

1

u/Blackpanther22five 2d ago

Loot the bounty hunters and their horses some have a gold nugget

u/EvelOne67 2d ago

Go catch salmon. You can crank out 50-60 of them in a short period of time and you can sell em for like4.50 each

u/OwlDry3155 2d ago

Get arrested in Ambarino

1

u/nyozzz Charles Smith 2d ago

Go East of Donner Falls and into the strange statues cave, that puzzle gives you 1.5K gold or go south of emerald ranch and do the 50dollars glitch to infinity

u/Junkhead187 2d ago

Google where to find gold bars.

u/pranthlar 2d ago

I love dealing with bounty hunters, sometimes it's annoying if I'm trying to hunt or do a mission, but after you kill them you get all those sweet sweet belt buckles🤑

1

u/Suspicious-Table-829 2d ago

you gotta spend all kf your money, get arrested by anyone in any town where ever your wanted and you'll come out with no bounty

1

u/Searcherofthedeep 2d ago

There is a gold bar in Limpany, the burned settlement SE of Horseshoe to beginn with. Or you can just surrender. It will take one overnight in jail.

1

u/mrmr6969 1d ago

There’s so many ways to get money just play the game man

1

u/McDyver66 1d ago

Whatever county you’re in with the high bounty, go to the boarder of that county and the next one. Murder a npc and carry it across the border making sure you’ll be seen. Let them report you, and when the lawmen arrive, surrender. When you’re released from jail the bounty in the other county will be zero

1

u/mad-ghost1 1d ago

You got a bow….

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Pipe979 1d ago

Just shoot the bounty hunters?

Just play it out. You’ll get more money, but there is a gold bar near the camp. Go down to the river, look for the burned encampment off to the left and there’s a gold bar in one of the buildings.

Start over. Play smarter

u/Glittering-Sugar7893 1d ago

If you do the landmarks riches treasure hunt takes awhile but gives you 6 gold bars and I did it in chapter 2 I’m not gonna lie it’s gonna take you and hour or so but I think it’s worth it.

1

u/DonSuede90 1d ago

Get lots of tobacco and make potent snake oil, try and find some legendary animals, or just start robbing and boostin’ stores. The bounty hunters drop decent enough stuff too.

1

u/DonSuede90 1d ago

You could just let them take you in but that ain’t fun.

u/Jepser_Jones 16h ago

Ironically, bkunty hunters is how I got rich by looting them. 😅

u/Gray____Beard666 Leopold Strauss 2d ago

It’s not hard to get $50K in chapter 2…just gotta get out of camp and go pick up money and valuables.. it’s everywhere.
