How do I unlock the "Take From the Rich" achievement by robbing $50 from homesteads?
To unlock the ''Take From the Rich'' achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must rob a total of $50 from homesteads. Homesteads are small, isolated properties scattered across the map, often inhabited by NPCs who may have valuables or cash hidden in their homes. This achievement requires careful planning, stealth, and sometimes combat, as homesteads are often guarded or have residents who will resist your intrusion.\n\nFirst, you need to locate homesteads. Some of the most well-known homesteads include Watson''s Cabin in Big Valley, Aberdeen Pig Farm in Scarlett Meadows, and Chez Porter in Ambarino. These locations are ideal for robbing because they are secluded and often contain cash or valuables. To find these homesteads, explore the map thoroughly, especially in rural areas. Use your in-game map to identify small buildings or cabins that are not part of towns or settlements.\n\nOnce you locate a homestead, approach it carefully. Many homesteads have residents who will become hostile if they see you trespassing or attempting to rob them. To avoid unnecessary conflict, approach at night when residents are more likely to be asleep. Use stealth by crouching and moving slowly to avoid detection. If you are spotted, you may need to engage in combat, so ensure you have a weapon equipped and are prepared for a fight.\n\nInside the homestead, search for cash or valuables. These are often found in drawers, cabinets, or lockboxes. For example, at Watson''s Cabin, you can find a lockbox under the bed containing cash. At Aberdeen Pig Farm, there is a hidden stash of money in the basement. Be thorough in your search, as some items may be well-hidden. If you encounter resistance, you may need to subdue or eliminate the residents to access these items.\n\nA common challenge is dealing with witnesses or law enforcement. If you are seen committing a robbery, witnesses may report you, leading to a bounty. To minimize this risk, wear a mask or bandana to conceal your identity. Additionally, avoid leaving witnesses alive unless you are confident they will not report the crime. If a bounty is placed on your head, you can pay it off at a post office or evade the law until the heat dies down.\n\nTo maximize your earnings, focus on homesteads with higher-value loot. For example, the Braithwaite Manor in Scarlett Meadows is a large estate with multiple rooms containing cash and valuables. However, it is heavily guarded, so approach with caution. Another high-value target is the Van Horn Mansion, which has a safe containing a significant amount of money. These locations require more effort but yield greater rewards.\n\nFinally, keep track of your progress. The achievement requires a cumulative total of $50, so you may need to rob multiple homesteads to reach this amount. Use the in-game ledger or keep a mental tally of how much you have stolen. Once you have robbed $50 worth of cash and valuables, the achievement will unlock.\n\nPractical tips for success include saving your game before attempting a robbery, as this allows you to reload if things go wrong. Additionally, invest in a good horse for quick escapes and carry health tonics in case of combat. By following these steps and being strategic in your approach, you can efficiently unlock the ''Take From the Rich'' achievement.
