How do I complete the "Bandit" achievement by completing all bandit challenges?
The ''Bandit'' achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to complete all 10 Bandit Challenges, which test your ability to commit crimes, steal, and cause chaos in the game world. These challenges are unlocked after completing Chapter 2 and visiting a post office or train station to pick up the challenge list. Each challenge increases in difficulty, so preparation and strategy are key.\n\nBandit Challenge 1 requires you to rob five townsfolk. Head to a populated area like Valentine or Saint Denis, aim your weapon at a pedestrian, and press the ''Rob'' prompt. Be cautious, as law enforcement may intervene. For an easier time, target isolated individuals in less crowded areas like the outskirts of towns.\n\nBandit Challenge 2 involves stealing five horses. Visit ranches like Carmody Dell or farms near Emerald Ranch to find unattended horses. Approach quietly, mount the horse, and ride away. If the owner catches you, you may need to flee quickly to avoid a bounty.\n\nBandit Challenge 3 requires you to rob or loot $50 worth of cash and valuables from townsfolk or travelers. Robbing stagecoaches or looting bodies after ambushes can help you reach this goal faster. Focus on high-value targets like wealthy travelers or stagecoach passengers.\n\nBandit Challenge 4 tasks you with holding up five travelers on the roads. Use the ''Hold Up'' mechanic by aiming your weapon at a traveler and demanding their valuables. Choose remote roads like those near Big Valley to minimize the risk of witnesses.\n\nBandit Challenge 5 involves stealing seven wagons and selling them to Seamus at Emerald Ranch. Wagon theft is risky, so scout for unattended wagons or use stealth to avoid detection. Once stolen, drive the wagon to Seamus and sell it for $15-$40 each.\n\nBandit Challenge 6 requires you to rob three shops in one day. Plan your route carefully, starting with smaller towns like Rhodes or Strawberry to avoid heavy law enforcement. Use masks to reduce your bounty, and escape quickly after each robbery.\n\nBandit Challenge 7 tasks you with stealing $50 worth of cash and valuables from homesteads. Visit locations like Watson''s Cabin or Aberdeen Pig Farm, where you can loot valuables without much resistance. Be prepared to fight or flee if the owners catch you.\n\nBandit Challenge 8 involves robbing five coaches and taking their valuables. Stagecoaches can be found on main roads, especially near Saint Denis or Blackwater. Use a weapon to stop the coach, demand valuables, and loot the passengers.\n\nBandit Challenge 9 requires you to rob three trains and take $250 worth of valuables. Board a train at a station, wait until it leaves, and then rob passengers and loot safes. Use dynamite to open safes quickly, but be ready to fight off lawmen.\n\nBandit Challenge 10, the final challenge, tasks you with reaching a $250 bounty in all states. Commit crimes like murder, theft, or arson in each state (New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth, and Ambarino) until your bounty reaches $250. Pay off your bounties afterward to avoid constant pursuit.\n\nTo succeed in these challenges, always wear a mask to reduce your chances of being identified. Use fast horses like the Arabian or Turkoman for quick escapes, and stock up on health tonics and ammo. Save your game frequently to avoid losing progress if things go wrong.\n\nPractical tips: For train robberies, board at Riggs Station for fewer lawmen. For wagon thefts, scout Emerald Ranch at night when fewer people are around. Use the ''Hogtie'' mechanic to subdue witnesses quietly. Finally, always have an escape plan to avoid lengthy chases or high bounties.
