Secret Side Quests Everyone Missed In Red Dead Redemption 2

With how vast the open-world environment of Red Dead Redemption 2 is, it’s easy to miss out on these fun secret side missions.

Where to Sell Gold Bars in Red Dead Redemption 2

There are a total of four fences that will purchase gold bars in Red Dead Redemption 2. The first is the Emerald Ranch wagon fence named Seamus. Arthur will interact with Seamus in the main storyline. Seamus will ask him to steal a stagecoach to prove they are worthy business partners. After the quest, Seamus will be available as a fence for wagons and other ordinary items.

The second fence gamers can access is the Saint Denis Pawn Shop. Once the “Eastward Bound” quest is complete, the pawn shop will accept gold bars.

At the Van Horn Trading Post, there is a third fence that players can sell their bars to. The NPC is named Silas, and he has a shop called Silas Crawford Wholesale & Retail in the middle of town.

The final fence is located to the northeast of Rhodes. People can find him by taking the road that goes to the northeast from Rhodes to the Kamassa. The fence will be on the left side of the road halfway to the Kamassa River.

How to Get Gold Bars in Red Dead Online

The best-known way to get gold bars in RDO is through missions; story missions, bounty missions, and stranger missions all reward gold bars. However, the reward is based on the amount of time the mission takes, which means that completing missions is not the best way to get gold bars fast in RDO. Gamers will have a lot more luck with the below methods:

Daily Challenges and Role Challenges

When factoring in multipliers, the daily and role challenges provide the most gold bars per hour. Gamers that complete all of the daily challenges each week will be awarded with more gold nuggets in successive weeks. Eventually, the multiplier will reward three times the base amount of gold nuggets. The same goes for role challenges.

Those committed to earning as much gold as possible will want to grind every role in the game. That way, there are always plenty of challenges to complete each day. On average, it will take about an hour to two hours a week to finish all of the challenges. For around six gold, that is not a bad return on investment.

Completing Bounties and Awards

Bounties are about as fruitful as missions. However, if people can keep their bounty missions around the nine minute mark, they will earn 1.6 gold/ hour. To fill in the time, players can hunt, complete challenges, and accrue rewards. Daily challenges are the most efficient, but by filling in the time, bounties are actually not too bad.

The only other method of getting gold fast is by finishing the various award objectives in RDO. Focusing solely on these is not a good way to spend time. However, it might be a good idea to browse through the awards to get an idea of what tasks need to be finished. Gamers can grind these awards while waiting for the nine minute timer during a bounty.
