What’s the best method to complete the "Notorious" trophy by reaching maximum bounty in all states?

The ''Notorious'' trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to reach the maximum bounty level of $1,500 in all five states: New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth, Ambarino, and New Austin. This achievement is tied to the game''s bounty system, which increases as you commit crimes like robbery, murder, or assault in each state. To efficiently unlock this trophy, you need to understand the game mechanics and plan your actions carefully.\n\nFirst, it''s important to note that the bounty system is state-specific. Crimes committed in one state do not affect your bounty in another. This means you can focus on one state at a time. Start by choosing a state with a central location, such as New Hanover, which includes Valentine and Emerald Ranch. These areas are ideal for committing crimes because they have plenty of witnesses and lawmen to escalate your bounty quickly.\n\nTo raise your bounty, commit high-profile crimes like train robberies, bank heists, or mass shootings. For example, in Valentine, you can start by antagonizing townsfolk or shooting lawmen. Each crime will increase your bounty, and the more severe the crime, the faster your bounty will rise. Be prepared for intense shootouts, as lawmen will swarm the area once your bounty reaches a certain threshold.\n\nA practical method to maximize your bounty is to target trains. Board a train in a populated area, such as Rhodes in Lemoyne, and start robbing passengers or shooting lawmen. Trains are excellent for this because they attract a lot of attention, and the confined space makes it easier to rack up crimes quickly. However, be cautious of the train''s movement, as it can leave the state, resetting your bounty progress.\n\nAnother effective strategy is to use the game''s wanted system to your advantage. When you commit a crime, witnesses will report you, and lawmen will arrive. Instead of fleeing, stay and fight to increase your bounty further. Use cover and powerful weapons like the Lancaster Repeater or Pump-Action Shotgun to fend off waves of lawmen. This method is risky but highly effective for reaching the $1,500 cap.\n\nOne common challenge is running out of ammunition or health during prolonged shootouts. To mitigate this, stock up on supplies before starting your crime spree. Visit a gunsmith to purchase ammo and tonics, and consider crafting or purchasing health-restoring items like Potent Health Cures. Additionally, equip Dead Eye to improve your accuracy and take down lawmen more efficiently.\n\nOnce you''ve maxed out your bounty in one state, flee to another and repeat the process. Use fast travel or your horse to move between states quickly. For Ambarino, which has fewer towns and lawmen, focus on crimes near the Grizzlies or the town of Colter. In New Austin, target areas like Armadillo or Tumbleweed for maximum impact.\n\nFinally, remember that high bounties make you a target for bounty hunters. These NPCs will track you down, so be prepared for ambushes. Use your surroundings to your advantage, such as hiding in forests or using buildings for cover. Completing the ''Notorious'' trophy requires patience and strategy, but with careful planning, you can achieve it efficiently.\n\nPractical tips: Save your game before starting a crime spree in case things go wrong. Use the ''Bandana'' to mask your identity temporarily, though this won''t prevent bounty increases. Focus on one state at a time to avoid spreading your resources thin. Lastly, consider completing this trophy in the post-game when you have access to better weapons and resources.
