How do I complete all bandit challenges for the "Bandit" trophy?

To unlock the ''Bandit'' trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must complete all 10 Bandit Challenges. These challenges focus on criminal activities such as robbery, theft, and looting. Each challenge progressively increases in difficulty, requiring careful planning and execution. Below is a detailed guide to help you complete all Bandit Challenges efficiently.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 1: Rob 5 Townsfolk**\nStart by robbing five townsfolk. This can be done in any town, but Valentine is a good choice due to its high population. Approach a pedestrian, aim your weapon, and select the ''Rob'' option. Be cautious, as law enforcement may intervene. If you''re caught, flee the area and return later to continue. Completing this challenge unlocks the next one.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 2: Steal 5 Horses and Sell Them to a Fence**\nFor this challenge, steal five horses and sell them to a Fence. Horses can be found in stables, camps, or roaming the countryside. Use your lasso to calm wild horses or simply mount stolen ones. Ride the horses to a Fence, such as the one in Emerald Ranch, and sell them. Be mindful of witnesses, as they may report your crimes.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 3: Rob $50 from Townsfolk and Travelers**\nYou need to rob a total of $50 from NPCs. Focus on travelers on the road or wealthy-looking townsfolk. Use the ''Rob'' option and demand money. Some NPCs may resist, so be prepared to intimidate or fight. Repeat this process until you reach the $50 goal. Avoid high-traffic areas to minimize the risk of being caught.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 4: Hold Up 5 Coaches and Rob the Passengers**\nLocate coaches on roads between towns, such as the route between Valentine and Rhodes. Use your weapon to stop the coach, then rob the passengers. Be quick, as drivers may flee or fight back. Repeat this process five times. If lawmen arrive, escape and try again in a different location.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 5: Rob 5 Stores in One Day**\nThis challenge requires you to rob five stores within a single in-game day. Stores in Valentine, Strawberry, and Saint Denis are ideal targets. Enter the store, aim your weapon at the shopkeeper, and demand money from the register. After each robbery, flee the area to avoid lawmen. Plan your route to minimize travel time between stores.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 6: Steal 7 Wagons and Sell Them to Seamus at Emerald Ranch**\nSteal seven wagons and deliver them to Seamus, the Fence at Emerald Ranch. Wagons can be found on roads or near farms. Use your horse to chase and stop the wagon, then drive it to Seamus. Be cautious, as wagon drivers may resist or call for help. Repeat this process seven times to complete the challenge.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 7: Rob 3 Trains and Loot 50 Cents from Passengers**\nRob three trains and loot at least 50 cents from passengers. Board a train at a station or stop it on the tracks. Use your weapon to intimidate passengers and demand money. Be prepared for lawmen to arrive quickly. Repeat this process three times, ensuring you loot enough money each time.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 8: Rob or Loot $250 Worth of Cash and Valuables**\nAccumulate $250 through robbery or looting. Focus on high-value targets like stagecoaches, trains, and wealthy travelers. Loot bodies after gunfights or search homes for valuables. Keep track of your earnings in the Satchel menu. This challenge may take time, so be patient and persistent.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 9: Rob 4 Coaches in One Day**\nRob four coaches within a single in-game day. Use the same method as Challenge 4, but plan your route carefully to ensure you can complete all four robberies in time. Avoid heavily patrolled areas to reduce the risk of being caught.\n\n**Bandit Challenge 10: Rob 5 Trains and Loot $250 Worth of Cash and Valuables**\nRob five trains and loot a total of $250. This is the most challenging task, as trains are heavily guarded. Use dynamite to blow open safes and loot passengers for valuables. Repeat this process five times, ensuring you meet the $250 requirement. Be prepared for intense gunfights and quick escapes.\n\n**Practical Tips**\nSave your game before attempting each challenge to avoid losing progress. Use stealth to minimize confrontations and wear a mask to reduce your bounty. Always have a fast horse and plenty of ammunition. Finally, be patient and persistent, as some challenges may require multiple attempts.\n\nBy following this guide, you can efficiently complete all Bandit Challenges and unlock the ''Bandit'' trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2.
