Ehhh, Anyone else play RDR2 here?

It's so easy to get rich when you're robbing trains, banks and looting people. But that gives you bad honor.
If you want a pristine honor, most robbery will not be available for you.

So... how to get rich then? There are only so many bounties for bounty hunting...

I played with high honor... and stopped playing 3/4 way through the game. Just wasn't compelling to me (unlike RDR which I absolutely love) -- along with a list of other things I disliked about the experience.

Wish I had an answer for you, but my answer was... just play RDR again.

If you just follow the story it's almost impossible not to get rich I think. I'm not even sure why you're asking when you're already talking about robbing trains. By the time I got to that point in the game there was nothing left I wanted to buy. At some point they have you rob a bank in the story and you just get insta rich. It's one of the reasons I lost my drive to keep playing.

Ya but that was only 2000... I'm more of a collector and want to buy everything haha

Edit: Assuming you're referring to the bank job with Bill

My friend had 5000 playing with low honor... robbing each person they killed on missions and bounty hunters and law men which mission was the final straw for you?

I'm actually playing RDR2 currently and have been wondering the same thing. I figured that there's good money in hunting but the process is so tiresome that I gave it a rest, plus apparently the missions are easy enough even if you just stick with the money and equipment you gather through the missions themselves. So my plan is to become rich only after finishing the story which, I know, won't happen because after I've seen the credits roll I will feel no incentive to keep playing (it's the same pattern with all sandbox games I've played).

I'm guessing another way to farm money without hurting your honor is to replay missions where you get to kill and loot dozens of bad guys. You can make a lot of money by selling looted items like gold and platinum watches, after all. Admittedly I don't know, however, if you get to keep anything you find while replaying an already finished mission, so I may be wrong on this.

Oh yeah, I also discovered that fishing is supposedly a pretty effective way of farming honor, you just have to keep throwing the fish back in the water. So I guess it would be possible to pull the nastiest robberies for easy money and then just regain the lost honor through fishing. I don't yet know how long it takes to replenish honor via this method, though.

Sorry, played when it came out and don't remember. But once I put it down I never wanted to play it again.

TBH RDR2 was my biggest disappointment of recent memory. It's beautiful... but not fun.

If you want to be the good guy then there is only the story missions, some bounties you can collect and hunting. Being the good guy doesn't pay well in the wild west.

Easy wait for PC release.
Use Cheat Engine to get rich quick, and keep honour !!!

You'll have to suffer the Rock Star Store client though, makes me glad I can't stand RockStar's perpetual Gangster games

Dang, yeah, I suspected Rockstar would be too clever to allow such an exploit. Thanks for the heads-up.

Its easy to make money while maintaining high honor. Not as much as evil but you really dont need much money imo. You make alot of money just going through the story missions or doing the side quests iirc. Another easy way to make enough money without ever having to worry about money again is to do the treasure maps. It helps to fill the challenge (to improve your bar) and gives you enough money as long as you dont go crazy.

The final mission gives you more than enough money to just buy whatever as well but by that time, not that much to do. Money isnt that important in this game tbh.

The games are not on GOG. If you people like them, why not vote for them here:
