Which missions require specific weapon modifications for gold medals?
In Red Dead Redemption 2, achieving gold medals in missions often requires meeting specific objectives, and some missions demand the use of particular weapon modifications. These modifications can include improved sights, scopes, or upgraded components that enhance accuracy, damage, or handling. Understanding which missions require these modifications and how to prepare for them is crucial for players aiming to complete the game with all gold medals.\n\nOne such mission is ''Pouring Forth Oil - IV,'' where you must use a scoped rifle to eliminate enemies from a distance. To meet the gold medal requirement, you need to equip a rifle with a long scope, such as the Rolling Block Rifle or the Carcano Rifle. These weapons can be purchased from gunsmiths in towns like Valentine or Saint Denis. Ensure the rifle is equipped with a long scope before starting the mission, as failing to do so will prevent you from meeting the objective.\n\nAnother mission with specific weapon modification requirements is ''The Sheep and the Goats.'' In this mission, you must use a scoped weapon to shoot wolves attacking the herd. The Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle, both equipped with scopes, are ideal for this task. Before starting the mission, visit a gunsmith to purchase or upgrade your rifle with a scope. This preparation ensures you can quickly and accurately take down the wolves, meeting the gold medal criteria.\n\nIn ''An American Pastoral Scene,'' you are required to use a scoped rifle to assassinate a target from a distance. The Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle, both with scopes, are again the best choices. Ensure your rifle is equipped with a scope before the mission begins. Additionally, practice your aim and timing, as the target will be moving, and you only have one shot to meet the gold medal requirement.\n\nFor ''The King''s Son,'' you need to use a scoped weapon to eliminate enemies during a stealth segment. The Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle with a scope is essential here. Before starting the mission, ensure your rifle is equipped with a scope and that you have enough ammunition. Stealth is key in this mission, so take your time to line up shots and avoid alerting enemies unnecessarily.\n\nTo prepare for these missions, always visit a gunsmith to check and upgrade your weapons. Scopes and other modifications can be purchased with in-game currency, so ensure you have enough funds. Additionally, practice using scoped weapons in free roam to improve your accuracy and familiarity with their mechanics. This preparation will make it easier to meet the gold medal requirements during missions.\n\nIn summary, missions like ''Pouring Forth Oil - IV,'' ''The Sheep and the Goats,'' ''An American Pastoral Scene,'' and ''The King''s Son'' require specific weapon modifications, particularly scoped rifles. Preparing your weapons before these missions by visiting a gunsmith and equipping the necessary modifications is essential. Practice using these weapons in free roam to improve your skills and increase your chances of achieving gold medals.
