What is the fastest way to complete all 90 challenges for the "Best in the West" trophy?

The ''Best in the West'' trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires completing all 90 challenges across nine categories: Bandit, Explorer, Gambler, Herbalist, Horseman, Master Hunter, Sharpshooter, Survivalist, and Weapons Expert. Each category has 10 challenges, and completing them all unlocks the Legend of the East outfit and the trophy. To efficiently complete these challenges, you need a strategic approach, knowledge of game mechanics, and patience.\n\nStart by focusing on the Horseman and Explorer challenges early in the game. These are relatively straightforward and can be completed without advanced equipment or story progression. For example, Horseman Challenge 1 requires you to ride from Valentine to Rhodes in under five minutes. Use a fast horse like the Arabian, which can be tamed near Lake Isabella, and follow the main roads to avoid obstacles. Explorer challenges involve finding treasure maps and locating hidden treasures, which can be done using online guides or in-game clues.\n\nGambler challenges are among the most time-consuming and frustrating due to their reliance on RNG (random number generation). For Gambler Challenge 8, which requires winning three hands of Blackjack with three hits or more, sit at a table in Rhodes or Van Horn and use the ''Hit'' button aggressively. If you lose, stand up and sit back down to reset the deck. This method increases your chances of success over time. Similarly, for Gambler Challenge 9, which involves winning three consecutive games of Dominos, play All Fives mode in Emerald Ranch and quit the game if you''re about to lose to avoid breaking your streak.\n\nHerbalist challenges require you to collect specific plants across the map. Use the in-game compendium to track which plants you''ve already picked. For Herbalist Challenge 9, which requires picking one of each type of herb, focus on rare plants like the Orchids found in the Bayou Nwa region. Survivalist challenges involve hunting and fishing, so carry a Varmint Rifle for small game and a Bow with Improved Arrows for larger animals. For Survivalist Challenge 10, which requires catching one of each type of fish, visit the Dakota River for small fish like Bluegill and the Kamassa River for larger species like Muskie.\n\nBandit challenges involve committing crimes like robbing and looting. For Bandit Challenge 6, which requires you to rob $50 from townspeople, target wealthy areas like Saint Denis. Use stealth to avoid law enforcement and escape quickly. Sharpshooter challenges test your shooting accuracy and precision. For Sharpshooter Challenge 6, which requires disarming three enemies without reloading, use Dead Eye to target their weapons and practice in areas with low enemy density like Lemoyne.\n\nMaster Hunter challenges focus on hunting legendary animals and perfect pelts. Use the Legendary Animal Map to locate these creatures and craft special trinkets at the Fence to improve your hunting efficiency. For Master Hunter Challenge 10, which requires killing a Grizzly Bear with a knife, use bait to lure the bear and dodge its attacks before striking. Weapons Expert challenges involve using specific weapons to achieve certain feats. For Weapons Expert Challenge 6, which requires killing six animals with one stick of dynamite, herd animals like deer or bison into a tight group and throw the dynamite at the right moment.\n\nTo save time, plan your route and combine challenges whenever possible. For example, while traveling to collect herbs for Herbalist challenges, you can also hunt animals for Master Hunter or Survivalist challenges. Use fast travel points and stagecoaches to minimize travel time. Additionally, save your game frequently to avoid losing progress due to unexpected deaths or failures.\n\nFinally, be patient and persistent. Some challenges, like Gambler 8 and 9, can take hours due to their reliance on luck. Use online resources like maps and guides to locate rare items or animals. By following these strategies and focusing on one category at a time, you can efficiently complete all 90 challenges and unlock the ''Best in the West'' trophy.
