Red Dead Redemption 2 & RDR Online Bounty Mission Location

Bounty hunting is a profession that has stood the test of time and has its origins in the Wild West of America. So it makes sense that the feature make it to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online as it featured in the prequel. Bounty Hunting lets you live out your cowboy fantasy and be on the good side of the law. Since bounty hunting has found its foothold in the American Judicial System it becomes a tool for vigilance and safekeeping of the neighborhood.

In Red Dead Redemption 2 you can carry out Bounty Hunting missions and collect a hefty reward for turning bad guys in, the worse the enemy, the higher the bounty and reward associated with it. But you can always be certain that you will end up with a bunch of bandits following you and if you are on the case of an outlaw who has a large bounty to his name. His posse will try to stop you and shoot at you.

But there is a method in which you can easily escape without collecting the bounty on you after you commit a crime and there are ways to reduce your bounty in the game too. If a bystander witnesses you commit a crime, he or she will most definitely run to the authorities to report the crime and you can find your way around this:

  1. Making sure there aren’t any witnesses around while you commit a crime.
  2. If a witness has seen you but is unsure about your appearance, a white eye will be shown on the map indicating that the witness is unsure about the perpetrator and will only highlight a certain part of the map with red showing the location of the crime.
  3. If the witness has identified you, he will run to the authorities and a bounty will be added to your name.

Now there are ways to get rid of the bounty.

You can start by covering your face with a bandana that way you can easily evade capture by the local authorities and run away till the wanted level runs out, you will have to change your appearance quickly so that the witness doesn’t recognize you. or, you can pay off your bounty at any post office in the game, you need not  visit the town where the crime was committed. You can just visit any post office and pay the bounty which will no longer may you wanted by the law officials and other bounty hunters.

If you wish to partake in your cowboy fantasy and be a man of the law you will have to spend a few hours in the game before you can start to pick up the bounty and apprehend criminals. After the stranger quest marker appears in the sheriff’s office in the town of Valentine. After you visit the Sheriff’s office he will ask you to bring back a murderer alive and upon completion of this mission, you will be able to earn in-game money as a bounty hunter.

Bounty hunting missions are plenty in towns like Valentine and Strawberry, you can earn handsome amount of money bounty hunting and it will certainly help you to be a sure shot in the game.
