How do I complete the Bandit Challenge 10 without getting a bounty?

Completing Bandit Challenge 10 in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to rob five townsfolk without getting a bounty. This challenge can be tricky, as robbing NPCs in towns often leads to witnesses reporting your crimes, resulting in a bounty. However, with careful planning and execution, you can complete this challenge without incurring any penalties.\n\nFirst, choose a location with minimal law enforcement and fewer witnesses. Smaller towns like Van Horn or Butcher Creek are ideal because they lack a formal police presence. In Van Horn, for example, the town is lawless, meaning you won’t get a bounty even if you commit crimes. However, NPCs will still retaliate if provoked, so you need to act quickly and strategically.\n\nTo begin, equip your bandana to conceal your identity. While this won’t prevent NPCs from recognizing you, it can delay their reaction time. Approach a lone NPC in a secluded area, such as behind a building or near the outskirts of town. Aim your weapon at them and press the appropriate button to initiate the robbery. Demand money, and they will usually comply. If they resist, you can intimidate them further by firing a warning shot or using melee attacks.\n\nAfter robbing the NPC, immediately leave the area to avoid drawing attention. If other NPCs witness the robbery, they may attack you or report the crime. To minimize this risk, use stealth and avoid crowded areas. For example, in Van Horn, you can target NPCs near the docks or the back alleys where fewer people are present.\n\nAnother effective strategy is to use distractions. Throw a fire bottle or dynamite in a nearby area to create chaos, drawing NPCs away from your target. This gives you a window of opportunity to rob someone without being noticed. Alternatively, you can use the cover of night to reduce visibility and make it harder for witnesses to identify you.\n\nIf you accidentally trigger a bounty, reload a previous save or exit the area immediately to avoid paying the fine. Remember, the key to completing this challenge is speed and discretion. Robbing NPCs in quick succession while avoiding detection is crucial.\n\nFor a practical example, head to Van Horn at night. Equip your bandana and locate an NPC near the saloon or the docks. Aim your weapon, demand money, and quickly move to the next target. Repeat this process five times, ensuring you leave the area after each robbery to reset the NPCs’ awareness.\n\nFinally, remember that some NPCs may not carry money. If this happens, simply move on to the next target. Patience and persistence are key. By following these steps and choosing the right location, you can complete Bandit Challenge 10 without getting a bounty and progress further in the game.
