Sell horses
Horses are a good source of business in Red Dead Redemption 2, provided you know how to make the most out of the trade. Any horse you acquire in the game can be brought to a stable to sell off, stow, or upgrade, but the buyer’s price will vary depending on the type of horse you’re trying to flog. If your steed was obtained illegally, for instance, then stablemasters an offer as little as $3 or less, while standard breeds will barely go for much more, even with the right documentation.
However, if you manage to find a speedy race horse or beefy shire, the potential profit could be huge, so the added effort of tracking, taming, and bringing them back into town is definitely worth the trouble. Wild horses can be found throughout the open world, but capturing them requires a fair degree of patience and skill, so don’t go running after every bronco you see.
Hunt animals (and people)
It’s no secret that butchers, trappers, and store clerks will pay good money for animal pelts and meat in Red Dead Redemption 2, but there’s a certain talent to making sure each haul brings in the most bang for its buck. For one thing, pelts are harvested in different qualities depending on how the animal was killed. Get a headshot on a rabbit with a small game varmint rifle, for example, and there’s a good chance the pelt will be in perfect condition.
Fire half a dozen revolver rounds into a flock of chickens, and it’s probably not even worth the trip back to town. These raw goods will also begin to rot and degrade over time, so the quicker you sell it off, the better price you’ll get. But animals aren’t the only prey on Arthur Morgan’s radar. Find Wanted Posters at Sheriff’s offices in towns, and you’ll be able to start a bounty hunting mission to bring in any active criminals, which can bring in upwards of $100 or more.
Be a nice person
While Red Dead Redemption 2’s honor system is supposedly unbiased, there’s definitely a lot of hard benefits to being the good cowboy throughout the western frontier. Stores will buy and sell to law abiding citizens at better rates, while staying on the right side of the authorities also means you won’t have to worry about paying off any bounties on your head, which can quickly rack up into the hundreds if you’re not careful, subsequently increasing the number of bounty hunters who’ll be constantly on your tail.
Being kind to strangers in Red Dead Redemption 2’s random encounters often leads to long-term dividends, too, as many will repay you with favours and rewards later on in the game. Whenever you’re tempted to rob a store or kill a rando for cash, then, maybe think again.
