Type: Platinum

Unlock Details

Earn all trophies.

Missable

Trophy: Breaking and Entering

Recover the stash from 4 homesteads.

Type: Bronze

Category: Missable

Unlock Details

This can be a little tricky and slightly buggy, as you need to successfully rob four different homesteads and recover their stashes, and sometimes the game may not count it unless you loot thoroughly. There are seven total homesteads in the game, but since some can be missed depending on your choices, it is safest to go for more than four just in case and keep a manual save before starting. Aberdeen Pig Farm, Southeast of Emerald Ranch Lonnie’s Shack, West of Rhodes Catfish Jacksons, South of Rhodes Watson’s Cabin, West of Wallace Station Van Horn Mansion, Van Horn Trading Post Chaz Porter, North of Valentine Willard’s Rest, Northeast of Annesburg When robbing these, try to avoid killing everyone immediately because some stashes require you to threaten NPCs for information, and always loot the entire house to be safe. The easiest approach is to save your game, clear several homesteads in a row, and reload if something does not count, which saves you from having to replay a large chunk later.

Trophy: Errand Boy

Deliver 5 camp companion item requests.

Type: Bronze

Category: Missable

Unlock Details

This is missable and requires you to complete five camp item requests, which are small tasks given by gang members during Chapters 2, 3, and 4, so you want to stay active in camp and talk to people often. These requests only appear at certain times of day and can be easy to overlook, so checking camp regularly is key. Abigail, give 5 dollars Jack, find a book or thimble Javier, collect Oleander Mary Beth, find a fountain pen Sean, bring Kentucky Bourbon Tilly, find a necklace Pearson, bring a rabbit or compass You only need five, so go for the easiest ones like Abigail’s request or items you can buy from shops, and try to complete them as soon as they appear so you do not lose track. If you make a habit of interacting with camp members instead of rushing off, this one becomes very easy.

Trophy: Friends With Benefits

Complete a Companion Activity in each camp.

Type: Bronze

Category: Missable

Unlock Details

This is missable and requires you to complete at least one companion activity in each camp during Chapters 2, 3, and 4, so make sure you do not rush through these chapters without checking camp regularly. These activities show up as white icons and usually involve things like playing games, hunting, fishing, or small robberies, and only one per chapter is needed, so keep it simple and knock out the easiest one you see. Chapter 2 Poker or Dominoes, Camp Five Finger Fillet with Lenny, Camp Hunting with Charles, Camp Home Robbery with Javier, Valentine Chapter 3 5. Fishing with Javier or Kieran, Camp 6. Dominoes or Five Finger Fillet, Camp 7. Home Robbery with Javier, Camp Chapter 4 8. Hunting with Pearson, Camp 9. Robbery with Uncle, Camp If you want the safest route, just do a quick activity early in each chapter as soon as one appears and you will never have to think about it again. It is easy to forget about these while focusing on the story, so treat camp like a checklist stop every time you return.

Trophy: Give to the Poor

Donate $250 to the gang tithing box.

Type: Bronze

Category: Missable

Unlock Details

This is missable and requires you to donate a total of 250 dollars to the camp tithing box, which is only available up until the end of Chapter 4, so make sure you do not leave this too late. You can donate either cash or valuables, and both count, so just drop in money whenever you return to camp and you will hit the requirement quickly without even thinking about it. If you want to be efficient, donate extra while you are at it since it boosts your honor and unlocks camp upgrades, so this is one of those trophies that actually helps your playthrough instead of slowing it down.

Trophy: Lending a Hand

Complete all optional Honor story missions.

Type: Silver

Category: Missable

Unlock Details

This is one of the few truly missable trophies and it requires you to complete all honor based optional story missions across multiple chapters, so you need to stay on top of these as you progress instead of leaving them for later. Many of these missions are tied to specific chapters and some require high honor, so play honorably and check camp, towns, and letters regularly to avoid missing anything because replaying them later does not count. Chapter 2 Money Lending & Other Sins 1 to 3, Strauss, Camp Good, Honest, Snake Oil, Valentine Sheriff We Loved Once and True 1 to 3, Letter at camp Pouring Forth Oil 1 to 4, John, Camp Chapter 3 5. The Course of True Love 1 to 3, Caliga Hall 6. Money Lending & Other Sins 4, Strauss, Camp Chapter 4 7. Help a Brother Out, Saint Denis 8. Brothers and Sisters, One and All, Saint Denis 9. Fatherhood & Other Dreams 1 to 2, Letter at camp 10. Money Lending & Other Sins 5, Strauss, Camp Chapter 6 11. Money Lending & Other Sins 6 to 7, Strauss, Camp 12. Do Not Seek Absolution 1 to 2, Annesburg 13. Of Men and Angels 1 to 2, Saint Denis 14. The Course of True Love 4 to 5, Letter at camp 15. Archaeology for Beginners, Reservation 16. Honor, Amongst Thieves, Reservation 17. Mrs Sadie Adler Widow 1 to 2, Camp If you are unsure, just treat every optional mission like it matters and knock it out as soon as it appears, because missing even one means a full replay which is not something you want after this long of a game.

Online

Trophy: All's Fair

Counter a rival Posse mission.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to successfully interfere with another player’s Free Roam mission, which you can do when the game notifies you that someone nearby has started one. Just accept the prompt, disrupt their objective, and prevent them from completing it to earn the trophy. The easiest way is to wait for simple missions like deliveries, then destroy the objective quickly, such as killing the horses or stopping the wagon, which usually ends it fast. If you are struggling to find opportunities, this is very easy to boost with a friend and can be done in just a few minutes.

Trophy: Breakout

Complete the Red Dead Online Intro.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This is the first Red Dead Online trophy and unlocks after completing the intro missions, so just follow the objectives and you will get it without any issues. You will create your character, escape from jail, clear a gang hideout, and finish a short sequence that introduces you to the online world. There is nothing difficult here, so just play through it normally and get comfortable with how Online works. Think of this as your onboarding phase before the real multiplayer grind begins.

Trophy: Buckle Up

Achieve 5 gold belt buckles.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to earn 5 gold belt buckles from awards, which are essentially long term challenges across different categories like combat, hunting, and general gameplay. You will make progress on many of these naturally just by playing Online, so this is more of a background trophy than something you need to focus on right away. If you want to speed it up, focus on easier categories like sharpshooter, combat, and travel since they have straightforward tasks that stack quickly. This one takes time, but as long as you keep playing and completing activities, the buckles will come naturally.

Trophy: Butchered

Sell 20 items to the Butcher.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This unlocks after selling 20 items to a butcher, which you will find in most major towns. Anything counts, including meat, pelts, feathers, and animal parts, so just sell whatever you collect while exploring. The easiest way is to hunt animals as you travel and sell everything you gather, since it adds up quickly without any grinding. If you are already hunting for other trophies, this will unlock naturally along the way.

Trophy: Eventful

Play 5 Free Roam Events.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to complete 5 Free Roam Events in Red Dead Online, which are the random purple invites that appear on your screen while exploring. When you see one pop up, accept it and play it through, and it will count whether you win or lose. The easiest way is to join every event you see until the trophy unlocks, since they appear regularly and do not require any real effort to complete. Treat these as quick side distractions while playing Online and you will finish this without any grind.

Trophy: Getting Started

Reach Rank 10.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This unlocks at Rank 10 in Red Dead Online and will come very quickly just by playing the game normally. Completing missions, events, and matches all give experience, so you will hit this within your first few hours without needing to focus on it. Just try out different activities and get comfortable with how Online works, because this trophy is basically your introduction to progression rather than a challenge.

Trophy: Gun For Hire

Accept 10 Free Roam missions.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to complete 10 Free Roam missions, which are the orange icons scattered across the map in Online. These missions vary from deliveries to combat objectives, but all you need to do is accept and finish them, so just keep grabbing them as you explore. The easiest approach is to chain these together while roaming the map instead of going out of your way for them, since they appear frequently and add up quickly. By the time you are getting comfortable with Online, you will likely be close to finishing this without even trying.

Trophy: Home Comforts

Purchase 5 camp improvements.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to purchase 5 camp improvements from Cripps in your Online camp, and the main thing to watch out for is to only use cash, not gold, since using gold can bug the trophy. As you level up, more upgrades become available, so just keep checking back as you progress. The cheapest and safest option is to buy basic items like different flag colors, which cost very little and count toward the total. This is more of a slow progression trophy, but once you have some money saved up, you can knock it out quickly without any grind.

Trophy: Horses for Courses

Own 5 horses at the same time.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to own 5 horses at the same time in Red Dead Online, which mainly comes down to buying stable slots and filling them. You start with one slot, so you will need to purchase the remaining ones and then own five horses total to unlock the trophy. The cheapest way is to buy low cost horses like the Kentucky Saddler and fill each slot quickly instead of investing in expensive ones early. It is a bit of a money sink, but once you have enough cash saved up, this becomes a quick and easy unlock.

Trophy: Master Craftsman

Craft 20 items.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to craft 20 items that are not ammo, and the easiest way is by cooking food at a campfire. Just cook different types of meat or add herbs to vary the recipes and the count will go up quickly. If you play normally and cook as you go, this will come naturally, but if you want it done fast, just sit at a campfire and craft a bunch of food in one go. It is simple and takes very little effort.

Trophy: Non-Regulation

Craft 25 pieces of ammunition.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to craft 25 pieces of ammunition in Online, and you can craft the same type repeatedly, so just focus on one easy recipe instead of spreading it out. Head to a campfire, open the crafting menu, and keep making ammo until it adds up. The main hurdle is unlocking recipes, so once you have something simple like Split Point Ammo or Small Game Arrows, just spam craft it and you will finish this quickly. It sounds grindy, but once you have the recipe, it is over in a few minutes.

Trophy: Notorious

Reach Rank 50.

Type: Gold

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to reach Rank 50 in Red Dead Online, which is a longer grind but very achievable if you stay consistent. Almost everything you do gives experience, so the key is to keep playing and stacking activities instead of focusing on one thing. The fastest progress comes from mixing Free Roam Events, missions, and daily challenges, since they give solid XP and break up the grind. It may feel slow at first, but once you get into a rhythm, levels start coming much faster, so just stick with it and you will get there.

Trophy: Picked to Perfection

Pick 25 herbs.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to pick 25 plants, herbs, or similar items in the wild, and it is one of the easiest trophies in Online. Just grab everything you see while exploring and you will hit the requirement very quickly. Using Eagle Eye makes plants much easier to spot, so if you get in the habit of scanning your surroundings, this will unlock without any effort at all. It is basically free progress just for paying attention.

Trophy: Posse Up

Form a Persistent Posse.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This unlocks when you create a Persistent Posse, which costs 200 dollars and can be done through the Posse menu. Just open the menu, choose to form a posse, set it to Persistent, and confirm the purchase. There is nothing else required here, so as long as you have the money, this is an instant unlock. It is basically a one time setup trophy, so think of it as buying your way to completion.

Trophy: Series Major

Take part in a Series.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This unlocks after completing any Series in Red Dead Online, which you can access through the Online menu or quick join option. Just pick any mode like races or showdowns and play it through to the end, and the trophy will pop once the match finishes. There is nothing tricky here, so choose whatever mode sounds the most fun and stick it out until completion. Think of this as a quick introduction to the competitive side of Online rather than a challenge.

Trophy: Strength in Numbers

Complete a Free Roam mission in a Posse.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to complete a Free Roam mission while in a Posse with at least two members. You can either invite a friend or join a random posse, then start and finish any Free Roam mission together. The easiest method is to join a random posse through the menu and complete a mission right away, since you do not need coordination or skill here. As long as you finish the mission with others, the trophy will unlock.

Trophy: The Real Deal

Achieve MVP 3 times.

Type: Bronze

Category: Online

Tags: Multiplayer

Unlock Details

This requires you to earn MVP 3 times in matches with at least 4 players, and it is more about consistency than raw skill since MVP is not always based purely on kills. Just keep playing multiplayer modes like races or showdowns and aim to perform well overall rather than focusing on one stat. Races are usually the easiest way to get MVP, especially if you can stay ahead of the pack or play smart during chaotic starts. It can feel a bit random at times, but if you keep participating and playing well, you will eventually get your three MVPs without needing perfect games.

Collectible

Trophy: Collector's Item

Complete one of the Collectable strands.

Type: Silver

Category: Collectible

Unlock Details

This requires you to fully complete one collectible strand, and the easiest by far is the rock carvings since there are only 10 of them compared to much larger sets. Each collectible type is tied to a Stranger mission, so once you start one, just follow it through until you have found everything and turned it in. Rock Carvings, 10 locations, Geology for Beginners Dinosaur Bones, 30 locations, A Test of Faith Cigarette Cards, 144 total, Smoking and Other Hobbies Exotic Objects, multiple items, Dutchess and Other Animals If you want the fastest route, go straight for the rock carvings and knock them out in one sweep, which saves a lot of time compared to the others. You will eventually need most of these for 100 percent anyway, so this is a nice early step that feels small but makes a big dent later.

Trophy: Paying Respects

Find the graves of each of your fallen companions.

Type: Bronze

Category: Collectible

Unlock Details

This requires you to visit all nine graves of fallen gang members, and you can only do this after finishing the story since they appear gradually as events unfold. Once you are in the Epilogue, you can freely explore and visit each grave, and the trophy will unlock after the final one. Arthur, Bacchus Station area Hosea, Bayou Nwa Lenny, Bluewater Marsh Sean, near Rhodes Kieran, Shady Belle area Susan, Beaver Hollow Eagle Flies, Wapiti Reservation Davey, Colter Jenny, Spider Gorge The easiest way is to clean this up at the end by riding from location to location in one run, and while it sounds like a lot, it is actually a calm and reflective trophy that gives a nice reason to revisit the world one last time.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/q1Ffh6D4Dcs

Trophy: Skin Deep

Skin every species of animal in Story Mode.

Type: Bronze

Category: Collectible

Unlock Details

This requires you to skin every required animal species in Story Mode, which is a long grind but becomes much easier if you combine it with Zoologist instead of doing them separately. You only need to skin the required animals, not every single creature in the game, so do not worry about perfection here. The best approach is to study and skin animals at the same time while exploring, since most animals need both for the companion trophy, and it saves you from backtracking later. Focus on getting clean kills with the correct weapon for each animal, because ruining pelts slows everything down, and if you stay consistent as you play, this becomes a steady checklist instead of a painful grind.

Trophy: Zoologist

Study every animal across all states in Story Mode.

Type: Bronze

Category: Collectible

Unlock Details

This is one of the longest trophies and requires you to study all required animals, which you do by aiming at them and holding the prompt until the study completes. The good news is that animals in Guarma do not count, so this is not missable and can be fully completed after the story. The easiest method is to explore region by region and study everything you see instead of hunting specific animals right away, since many are common and will naturally fill in over time. Rare animals like moose or panthers will likely be your last ones, so save those for cleanup and stay patient, because once you get into the habit of studying everything early, this trophy feels much more manageable than it looks.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/issbslLNbnY

Grind

Trophy: Best in the West

Attain 100% completion.

Type: Gold

Category: Grind

Unlock Details

This is the big one and it requires you to reach 100 percent completion, but thankfully that does not mean doing absolutely everything in the game. You can track your progress at any time through the Progress and Total Completion menu, which is your best friend here, so check it often and clean up what you are missing instead of guessing. Missions and Events Complete all required story missions and key side activities tied to completion Collectables 2. Finish the required collectible strands like dinosaur bones, cigarette cards, and dreamcatchers Compendium 3. Only partial completion is needed, not every animal or entry Player 4. Max out things like health, stamina, and Dead Eye, and complete challenges Miscellaneous 5. Activities like hunting requests, gang hideouts, and other world tasks The easiest way to approach this is to treat it as cleanup after the story and chip away at categories one at a time instead of trying to do everything at once. It looks overwhelming at first, but if you stay organized and follow the checklist, it becomes very manageable and honestly pretty satisfying to see that percentage slowly climb to 100.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/b7lEYGUC2so

Trophy: Gold Rush

Earn 70 Gold Medals in Story missions.

Type: Silver

Category: Grind

Unlock Details

This requires you to earn 70 gold medals across story missions, and since there are over 100 missions total, you have some room to skip the worst ones, so do not stress about getting gold on everything. Each mission has specific objectives like time limits, accuracy, and no damage, and you must complete all of them in a single run for it to count, which is where most of the challenge comes from. The cleanest approach is to go for gold medals after finishing the story by replaying missions through the Progress and Story menu, since your stats and gear will scale appropriately now and make things much more manageable. If you want the easier route, you can make manual saves before missions and retry them immediately, but this can hurt the pacing of the story, so it is better saved for players who want efficiency over immersion. Focus on easier missions first to build momentum and confidence, skip anything that feels frustrating, and come back later once you are more comfortable with the mechanics, because hitting 70 is very doable as long as you stay patient and pick your battles wisely.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/uU6tZLiKv0g

Trophy: Pony Up

Spend $5000 across all shops.

Type: Bronze

Category: Grind

Unlock Details

This requires you to spend 5000 dollars across shops, but you will earn far more than that just by playing through the story, so it will likely unlock naturally without any effort. Buying weapons, gear, and horses all count, so just spend normally and it will come over time. If you want to get it out of the way early, you can buy and sell horses at a stable repeatedly to stack spending quickly, then reload your save to get your money back, which is a nice little trick if you do not feel like waiting.

Trophy: Self Sufficient

Craft 30 unique items in Story Mode.

Type: Bronze

Category: Grind

Unlock Details

This requires you to craft 30 unique items, which is much easier than it sounds since you naturally unlock recipes throughout the game. You can craft by resting in the wilderness or setting up camp, and most items only need basic materials you will already be collecting. The easiest approach is to focus on different ammo types since they are quick to craft and use common resources, so just make a variety instead of repeating the same one. If you leave this for later in the game when you have more materials and recipes unlocked, you can knock it out very quickly without any real grind.

Combat

Trophy: Grin and Bear it

Survive 18 bear attacks and kill the bear each time.

Type: Bronze

Category: Combat

Unlock Details

This requires you to survive and kill 18 bear attacks, which sounds brutal but becomes manageable once you understand how the encounter works. Let the bear grab you, mash the button prompt to break free, then quickly aim and shoot it in a vital spot before it finishes you off, because that short window is what counts. The best way to farm this is in northern forest areas like Tall Trees where bears spawn more frequently, and you can use bait to increase your chances instead of wandering around hoping to find one. It is a bit of a grind, but once you get the rhythm down, it turns into a repeatable routine rather than a nightmare, so stay calm and do not panic when the bear charges.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/lNbQouu_7P8

Trophy: Locked and Loaded

Upgrade each available component for a weapon.

Type: Bronze

Category: Combat

Unlock Details

This is very straightforward and only requires you to fully upgrade one weapon at a gunsmith by purchasing all available components. Just head to any gunsmith, choose customize, clean your weapon if needed, and buy one upgrade for each category until everything is filled. The easiest option is the Double Action Revolver since it is cheap to upgrade, making this a quick early trophy if you want it done fast. Once you apply all upgrades to a single weapon, the trophy will unlock immediately, so this is more about spending a little money than anything skill based.

Misc

Trophy: Artificial Intelligence

Discover the fate of Marko Dragic.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This is tied to the Stranger mission A Bright Bouncing Boy and requires you to complete both parts of Marko Dragic’s questline, which becomes available starting in Chapter 4 in Saint Denis. Look for the question mark on the map, complete the first mission, then return later for part two to finish the story and trigger the trophy. The only thing to watch out for is that part two does not appear immediately, so give it some in game time and come back to his lab to continue. It is a short and memorable side quest, so just follow it through to the end and enjoy one of the stranger moments in the game.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/YWXEMyNBmbg

Trophy: Bountiful

Survive 3 days holding a bounty of $250 in all states.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This requires you to hold a 250 dollar bounty in multiple states and survive for three in game days, which sounds worse than it actually is if you set it up correctly. You will need to cause enough chaos in each state to raise your bounty, and once that is done, the goal is simply to stay alive rather than keep fighting. New Hanover Lemoyne West Elizabeth Ambarino The easiest method is to build your bounties, then ride somewhere remote, set up camp, and sleep repeatedly until three days pass, since sleeping advances time quickly and avoids constant fights. You will likely run into bounty hunters, but if you stay hidden and avoid unnecessary combat, this becomes much more manageable. Ambarino is the only awkward one since there are no real towns, so provoking law by attacking travelers or causing trouble near Fort Wallace works best. Make a manual save before starting so you can reload after the trophy and avoid paying off all the bounties, which saves you a lot of money and keeps your honor intact.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/fccjw875_Pg

Trophy: Extreme Personality

Reach maximum or minimum Honor level.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This requires you to reach either maximum high honor or maximum low honor, and the easiest path is to go for high honor since it ties into other content and avoids missing anything. You will not be able to max this out until later in the story, so just build toward it naturally instead of grinding too early. The best way to gain honor consistently is by greeting NPCs, helping strangers during random events, donating to camp before Chapter 4 ends, and doing chores around camp, which adds up faster than you might expect. If you stay on the honorable path throughout the game, you will hit max without much effort, and it saves you from having to go full outlaw later just to fix it.

Trophy: Hobby Horse

Play all mini games.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This one is very easy and just requires you to play all four minigames at least once, so no need to win or even finish a full match. As soon as you sit down and start each game, it counts, which makes this a quick cleanup if you miss any during normal play. Dominoes, Camp or towns like Emerald Ranch Five Finger Fillet, Camp or Valentine Blackjack, Rhodes or Van Horn Poker, Valentine or Saint Denis The easiest way is to just sit down and start each game for a few seconds, then leave and move on, so do not overthink this one. If you play naturally as you go, you will probably unlock it without even trying.

Trophy: It was THIS Big!

Catch a fish weighing at least 16 lbs.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

You will most likely unlock this naturally while working on the Legendary Fish, since many of them easily exceed the 16 lb requirement. Just keep fishing as you progress through that questline and this will come without any extra effort. If you want to get it quickly, head to deeper waters and go for larger fish using the appropriate lures, since bigger species spawn there more often. Either way, this is one of the easier trophies and more of a nice bonus while you work on other goals.

Trophy: It's Art

Find a permanent home for the squirrel statue.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This is one of the longer collectibles and can only be done after finishing the story, starting with the Hunting Requests you pick up at train stations. You need to complete all five requests by sending in perfect carcasses, which means finding three star animals and killing them cleanly with the correct weapon, so patience is key here since small birds and animals can be annoying to track down. Request 1, squirrel and rabbit Request 2, cardinal, rat, woodpecker Request 3, chipmunk, opossum, oriole, robin Request 4, songbird, sparrow, toad, skunk, bullfrog Request 5, cedar waxwing, bat, blue jay, crow, beaver After completing all requests, you will receive a letter that leads you to a reward, and this is where things get a bit weird. You will need to place the squirrel statue in John’s house at Beecher’s Hope, then repeatedly track it down as it disappears and reappears in new spots, waiting about a day between each move. The final location is at the top of Mount Shann, and once you retrieve it for the last time, the trophy will unlock. It is a bit of a scavenger hunt, but if you made it this far, you are already committed, so just embrace the chaos and see it through.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/embed/sp39vQIKiZA

Trophy: Take From the Rich

Rob or loot $250.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This will come naturally as you play since you only need to loot or rob a total of 250 dollars in cash, not valuables, so make sure you are picking up money directly from bodies, drawers, and containers whenever you can. Selling items like jewelry does not count, so always prioritize looting actual cash during missions and while exploring. The easiest way to speed this up is by looting every enemy you take down, especially bounty hunters since they often carry more money than regular enemies. If you stay consistent with looting instead of rushing through encounters, this trophy will unlock pretty early without any extra effort.

Trophy: Trusty Steed

Reach max bonding level with a horse.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This unlocks when you reach max bonding level with a horse, and it will usually happen naturally if you stick with one horse for a long time instead of constantly switching. Bonding increases just by riding, feeding, brushing, and calming your horse, so as long as you take care of it, the levels will build up without much effort. The easiest way to speed this up is to regularly feed and brush your horse while riding it often, since those small actions add up quickly over time. If you treat your horse well and avoid overworking it, you will hit max bonding before you even realize it, so just pick a favorite and stick with it.

Trophy: Western Stranger

Complete 10 Stranger mission strands.

Type: Bronze

Category: Misc

Unlock Details

This requires you to complete 10 full Stranger mission strands, which means finishing entire questlines for different characters, not just starting them. These are the white question marks on the map, and most of them have multiple parts that unlock over time, so make sure you follow each one through to the end instead of leaving them unfinished. You can track progress under Total Completion, but keep in mind that single part missions may count there and not toward the trophy, so always focus on Stranger quests that have multiple parts to be safe. The easiest approach is to save these for later in the game when the map is fully open, then go through and clean them up one by one, which makes this feel more like a relaxed checklist than a grind.

Story

Trophy: Back in the Mud

Complete Chapter 1.

Type: Bronze

Category: Story

Unlock Details

You will unlock this naturally at the end of Chapter 1 after completing the mission Eastward Bound, so just focus on playing through the opening without worrying about anything extra. This chapter is basically your extended tutorial where you learn the core mechanics while surviving the mountains, so take your time getting comfortable because the game opens up a lot once you reach the next camp.

Trophy: Cowboy Builder

Complete 'A New Jerusalem'.

Type: Bronze

Category: Story

Unlock Details

This unlocks after completing A New Jerusalem in the Epilogue, so just continue the story and it will come naturally. This mission is a nice change of pace where you help John build his home at Beecher’s Hope, and there is nothing difficult here at all, so just relax and enjoy the moment because it is one of the more wholesome parts of the game.

Trophy: Endless Summer

Complete the Epilogue.

Type: Gold

Category: Story
