How do I unlock the "Bountiful" trophy for completing all bounties?

To unlock the ''Bountiful'' trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must complete all available bounties in the game. This includes both story-related bounties and optional ones found in various towns. Bounties are missions where you track down and capture or kill wanted criminals, and they are a great way to earn money and experience while progressing through the game.\n\nBounties become available after completing Chapter 2''s main story mission ''The First Shall Be Last,'' where you rescue Micah from jail. After this mission, bounty boards will appear in towns like Valentine, Rhodes, Strawberry, and Saint Denis. Each town has its own set of bounties, and they are unlocked progressively as you advance through the story. Some bounties are only available in the epilogue, so you cannot complete this trophy until you finish the main story.\n\nTo start a bounty, approach the bounty board in any town and interact with it. You will see a poster for the wanted criminal, which provides a brief description of their crimes and location. Once you accept the bounty, a marker will appear on your map indicating where to find the target. Some bounties require you to bring the target in alive, while others allow you to kill them. Bringing them alive typically yields a higher reward, so it''s worth trying to capture them if possible.\n\nWhen tracking a bounty, use Eagle Eye to follow clues like footprints, blood trails, or discarded items. This mechanic is essential for locating targets, especially in more complex bounties where the criminal may have fled into the wilderness. For example, in the ''Ellie Anne Swan'' bounty in Valentine, you''ll need to follow a trail of blood to find her hiding spot. Always be prepared for a fight, as many bounties involve hostile enemies or ambushes.\n\nOne common challenge is managing the health and stamina of your horse during long chases. Make sure to stock up on Horse Stimulants and Horse Revivers to keep your mount in top condition. Additionally, equip yourself with a reinforced lasso to make capturing targets easier. The reinforced lasso prevents them from escaping, which is especially useful for bounties that require you to bring the target in alive.\n\nSome bounties, like the ''Mark Johnson'' bounty in Strawberry, involve multiple targets or require you to navigate tricky terrain. In these cases, use cover and stealth to avoid unnecessary confrontations. For example, in the ''Mark Johnson'' bounty, you''ll face several armed enemies in a forested area. Use trees and rocks for cover, and take out enemies one by one to avoid being overwhelmed.\n\nFinally, remember that bounties are not always straightforward. Some targets may try to flee on horseback, while others may set traps or ambushes. Always stay alert and use Dead Eye to quickly neutralize threats. Completing all bounties will require patience and persistence, but the ''Bountiful'' trophy is a rewarding achievement that showcases your skills as a bounty hunter.\n\nPractical tips for success: Always save your game before starting a bounty in case things go wrong. Use the right weapons for the job—a rifle for long-range engagements and a shotgun for close-quarters combat. Lastly, don''t forget to loot the bodies of enemies and targets for extra cash and supplies. Good luck, and happy hunting!
