How do I unlock the "Notorious" trophy for reaching maximum bounty in all states?

To unlock the ''Notorious'' trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must reach the maximum bounty level of $1,500 in all five states: New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth, Ambarino, and New Austin. This achievement requires you to commit crimes and evade law enforcement until your bounty reaches the highest possible amount in each region. Below is a detailed guide to help you accomplish this.\n\nFirst, understand the bounty system. Each state has its own bounty meter, which increases as you commit crimes like robbery, assault, or murder. The meter is displayed on the map as a red area, and the bounty amount is shown in the bottom-right corner of the screen. To reach the maximum bounty, you need to commit significant crimes repeatedly in each state. However, be prepared for relentless law enforcement pursuit as your bounty increases.\n\nStart by choosing a state to focus on. For example, begin in New Hanover, which includes areas like Valentine and Annesburg. Commit crimes such as shooting townsfolk, looting stores, or attacking lawmen. Each crime will increase your bounty, but be cautious of witnesses. If a witness reports your crime, the bounty will rise faster. To maximize efficiency, target areas with high law enforcement presence, such as Valentine, where you can quickly rack up a bounty.\n\nOnce your bounty reaches around $1,000, lawmen will become more aggressive. They will use advanced tactics like setting up roadblocks or ambushes. To survive, stock up on health tonics, ammunition, and powerful weapons like the Lancaster Repeater or Pump-Action Shotgun. Use cover effectively and aim for headshots to take down lawmen quickly. If you''re overwhelmed, flee on horseback to a remote area like the Grizzlies or Roanoke Ridge to lose your pursuers temporarily.\n\nRepeat this process in the remaining states: Lemoyne (Rhodes, Saint Denis), West Elizabeth (Blackwater, Strawberry), Ambarino (the snowy mountains), and New Austin (Armadillo, Tumbleweed). In Ambarino, crimes are harder to commit due to the sparse population, so focus on attacking trains or stagecoaches passing through the area. In New Austin, be mindful of the Del Lobo Gang, as they can complicate your efforts to raise your bounty.\n\nA common challenge is managing your resources during prolonged shootouts. To mitigate this, visit a Fence to sell stolen goods and replenish your supplies. Additionally, use Dead Eye to conserve ammunition and increase accuracy. If you die or surrender, your bounty will reset, so avoid these outcomes at all costs.\n\nFinally, practical tips: Save your game before starting to raise your bounty in each state. This allows you to reload if things go wrong. Use the environment to your advantage, such as hiding in buildings or using terrain to break line of sight. Once you reach the maximum bounty in all five states, the ''Notorious'' trophy will unlock, marking your success as the most wanted outlaw in the Wild West.
