For the first half of Red Dead Redemption 2 you will be able to wander around the map with empty pockets, but the time will come when you will need to have a fair amount of liquidity. Especially if you intend to get all the achievements in the game or even just improve Arthur's quality of life.
In the following guide we explain some of the fastest ways to make money using what the game has to offer.
Hunting
Initially your approach to hunting will be to survive, but over time you should be able to recognize the due economic benefits. All the materials skinned away from the animals can be sold in the city and by fences for large sums. Meat included. However, we advise you not to focus on too ferocious beasts: a nice farm of bird feathers or bison horns guarantee faster earnings. Train a lot in this activity and remember that skinning animals killed by a sharp and clean blow will give more value to the objects obtained.
Main and secondary missions
You devote much of your time to missions, whatever they are. From the main ones, to the secondary ones, up to the various random events that will materialize on the map. Many times it may seem too distracting, but each of these actions will allow you to gain something. Even if you're in the middle of a fight, don't forget the question mark that just popped up. It might lead you to some hidden treasure.
Bounties and good deeds
Although the first bounties offered to Valentine are not very profitable, as we advance the bounty will become more and more complicated ... and profitable. Look for the wanted posters inside the offices of the various sheriffs and see not to return empty-handed. And if you want a higher remuneration, we advise you to raise the bar of honor, always behaving well, wherever you go. This way you will maintain a good with the sheriff, avoid some annoying bounties and receive discounts from vendors in various cities.
Cavalli
While most purchased or stolen horses can be sold for a few handfuls of dollars, the sale of wild horses can lead to excellent profits. You will happen to see a lot of them, and if you want to add more money to the bags, you will have to start not ignoring them. Get off your foal and try, calming them, to get on his back. Whistle your horse to make it follow you, and in the meantime sell the new animal to the nearest stable.
Loot, loot and rob
Even though we advised you to be good before, you would no longer be an outlaw if you didn't commit some crime. Action certainly more fruitful, but which hides various dangers. From stagecoaches, trains, to banks, there are different (illegal) ways to steal money in Red Dead Redemption 2. But remember that negative actions will increase the bounty on your head. Analyze well if it is appropriate to proceed with a shot, before it is too late.
If you see smoke on the horizon, it's sure to be a bandit camp ready to be looted. They will certainly be superior in number, so make the most of your surprise effect, which will be well rewarded: horse saddles, chests, supplies, weapons, ammunition and other precious objects. It is very important, however, to search and retrieve the loot of each KOed enemy. Don't give up anything.
Fence receivers
From the fences you can sell various items, from simple raw hides to the finest materials. We therefore advise you not to allocate all the precious goods to the camp, but to start committing them to one of them.
