How do I complete the “A Quiet Time” mission without getting a bounty?

The ''A Quiet Time'' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a memorable and humorous chapter where Arthur Morgan accompanies Lenny on a drinking spree in Valentine. However, it can be tricky to complete without accidentally incurring a bounty. To avoid this, you need to carefully manage your actions and interactions during the mission.\n\nFirst, the mission begins at the saloon in Valentine. When you arrive with Lenny, you’ll start drinking and engaging in a series of chaotic events. The key to avoiding a bounty is to avoid drawing your weapon, attacking NPCs, or causing property damage. While the mission is designed to be chaotic, you can minimize trouble by staying focused on the objectives and not escalating conflicts.\n\nDuring the drinking sequence, Arthur and Lenny will stumble around the saloon and eventually spill out into the streets. At this point, the game shifts to a chase sequence where you must find Lenny. The town will be in disarray, and NPCs may react aggressively. To avoid a bounty, do not engage in fights or shoot anyone. Instead, focus on running and dodging obstacles. If you accidentally bump into someone, quickly apologize by pressing the appropriate button prompt to de-escalate the situation.\n\nOne common challenge is the section where Arthur hallucinates and sees multiple ''Lennys'' around the town. This can be disorienting, but the real Lenny is always the one running away from you. Follow the correct Lenny by paying attention to his movements and the on-screen prompts. Avoid running into NPCs or knocking over objects, as this can lead to unwanted attention from lawmen.\n\nIf you do accidentally provoke a fight or damage property, lawmen may intervene. To prevent this, immediately stop any aggressive actions and flee the area. Lawmen in Valentine are quick to respond, but if you avoid further trouble, they will eventually stop pursuing you. Once you find Lenny and complete the chase sequence, the mission will conclude without any lasting consequences.\n\nA practical tip is to save your game before starting the mission. This allows you to reload if things go wrong. Additionally, keep your weapon holstered at all times and avoid interacting with NPCs unless necessary. By staying calm and focused, you can enjoy the mission’s humor and chaos without the frustration of a bounty.\n\nFinally, remember that the mission is designed to be chaotic, and minor mistakes are part of the experience. However, by following these steps, you can minimize the risk of a bounty and complete ''A Quiet Time'' smoothly. Pay attention to your surroundings, avoid unnecessary conflicts, and enjoy the ride with Lenny.
