How do I complete the Bandit Challenge 6 without getting caught?
Completing Bandit Challenge 6 in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to rob $50 from townsfolk without getting caught. This challenge can be tricky, but with the right strategy, you can complete it efficiently. The key is to minimize your chances of being identified or reported to the law. Here’s a detailed guide to help you succeed.\n\nFirst, choose a location with a high population density but low law enforcement presence. Valentine and Rhodes are excellent choices because they have plenty of NPCs and fewer lawmen compared to Saint Denis. Avoid robbing in Saint Denis, as the high number of lawmen and witnesses makes it harder to escape unnoticed.\n\nNext, equip yourself with a bandana or mask to conceal your identity. While wearing a mask won’t completely prevent NPCs from recognizing you, it significantly reduces the chances of being reported. Additionally, wear non-descript clothing that doesn’t stand out, as this helps you blend in with the crowd.\n\nTo begin robbing, approach NPCs in secluded areas or alleys where fewer people can witness the crime. Use the ‘Rob’ prompt when targeting an NPC. Be prepared for resistance, as some NPCs may fight back or try to run. If they resist, aim your weapon at them to intimidate them into compliance. Avoid using lethal force unless absolutely necessary, as killing NPCs will increase your bounty and attract lawmen.\n\nA practical example is to target NPCs near the saloon in Valentine. Wait until nightfall when fewer people are around, and focus on individuals walking alone. Rob them one at a time, and immediately move to a new location after each robbery to avoid drawing attention. If you’re spotted, quickly flee the area on horseback and wait for the heat to die down before returning.\n\nGame mechanics play a crucial role in this challenge. The game’s witness system means that if someone sees you committing a crime, they will report it to the law. To avoid this, ensure no one is watching when you rob someone. If a witness does appear, you can either intimidate them into silence or flee the area before they report you. Additionally, paying off your bounty at a post office can help reset your wanted level if things go wrong.\n\nCommon challenges include NPCs fighting back or attracting too much attention. To mitigate this, always have a getaway plan. Use your horse to escape quickly, and avoid robbing in areas with multiple witnesses. If you’re struggling to find NPCs with enough money, focus on wealthier-looking individuals, as they tend to carry more cash.\n\nFinally, here are some practical tips: Save your game before attempting the challenge so you can reload if things go wrong. Use Dead Eye to quickly intimidate multiple NPCs if needed. And remember, patience is key—take your time to scout the area and plan each robbery carefully.\n\nBy following these steps and understanding the game mechanics, you can complete Bandit Challenge 6 without getting caught and earn your reward.
