How do I unlock the "Breaking the Law" achievement by committing crimes in all states?

To unlock the ''Breaking the Law'' achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must commit crimes in all five states: New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth, Ambarino, and New Austin. This achievement requires you to engage in illegal activities such as assault, theft, or murder, and ensure that you are wanted by the law in each state. Below is a detailed guide to help you complete this achievement efficiently.\n\nFirst, understand the game mechanics. Crimes in Red Dead Redemption 2 are tied to the ''Wanted'' system. When you commit a crime, witnesses will report it, and law enforcement will pursue you. To trigger the achievement, you must commit a crime in each state and ensure that you are officially ''Wanted'' by the law. Simply committing a crime without being detected or reported will not count toward the achievement.\n\nStart in New Hanover, the most accessible state early in the game. Head to Valentine, a bustling town where you can easily provoke a crime. For example, punch a civilian in plain sight or steal a horse. Once the crime is reported, wait for the law to arrive and ensure your Wanted level increases. You do not need to escape; being wanted is enough to count. Repeat this process in other towns like Annesburg or Emerald Ranch to confirm the crime registers.\n\nNext, travel to Lemoyne, home to Rhodes and Saint Denis. In Saint Denis, the densely populated city, crimes are easily reported. Try pickpocketing or assaulting a pedestrian. Be cautious, as law enforcement in Saint Denis is quick to respond. If you are overwhelmed, flee the area and return later to commit another crime. Rhodes is a smaller town, so crimes here are less risky but still effective.\n\nFor West Elizabeth, visit Blackwater or Strawberry. Blackwater is a high-risk area, especially early in the game, as it is heavily guarded. Commit a minor crime like looting a store or shooting in the air to attract attention. Strawberry is a quieter option, where you can assault a local or steal a horse without much resistance. Ensure the Wanted level appears on your screen to confirm the crime.\n\nAmbarino is the most challenging state due to its sparse population. Head to the town of Colter or the area around Lake Isabella. Commit a crime like looting a cabin or attacking a traveler. Since witnesses are rare, you may need to lure lawmen by firing shots or causing a disturbance. Once the Wanted level appears, you can move on.\n\nFinally, New Austin is accessible later in the game or during the epilogue. Towns like Armadillo and Tumbleweed are ideal for committing crimes. Rob a store, assault a local, or steal a horse. New Austin''s law enforcement is less aggressive, making it easier to trigger the Wanted level without much risk.\n\nCommon challenges include avoiding high bounties or being killed by lawmen. To minimize bounties, wear a mask or change outfits after committing a crime. This reduces the chance of being recognized. If you are overwhelmed, flee the area and return later. Use fast travel or stagecoaches to move between states efficiently.\n\nIn summary, the ''Breaking the Law'' achievement requires you to commit crimes in all five states and ensure you are wanted by the law. Focus on minor crimes to avoid high bounties, and use masks or outfit changes to evade detection. With careful planning, this achievement can be unlocked without significant difficulty.
