‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ Tips, Tricks: How To Earn Money Without Sweat

Gamers have found a way to earn money fast in “Red Dead Redemption 2” thanks to a glitch. As pointed out by several Reddit users, players can actually get their hands on an unlimited amount of gold bars by exploiting this bug.

As Redditor MagnusTS explains on the “Red Dead Redemption 2” subreddit, autosave will have to be disabled for this to work. First, players will have to head to this burned town called Limpany located west of the Dakota River, just north of the Flatneck Station and south of Caliban’s Seat. Once you get there, you have to go to the Sheriff's office and look for a lockbox under the desk. Inside is a not and a gold bar. Opening it will be tempting, but don’t loot it just yet.

Just move Arthur Morgan a short distance from the lockbox and save the game manually. Once that is done, don’t go back in the game. Instead, go to the previous menu and load the save. Just head back to the Sheriff's office after the save is loaded and pick up the gold bar. Players will notice that the bar doesn’t disappear, and they can now pick up as many as they can. Of course, the inventory cap is 30 so gamers can’t exactly get over 100 gold bars at once. This can be repeated as many times as desired.

GameSpot’s Steve Watts also has another method player can use. “Instead of bending down and saving, we simply saved after opening the lockbox, but before taking either of the two items--a gold bar and a pamphlet. Traveling back to the lockbox revealed only the gold bar without the pamphlet. It's crucial to hold the Take button so that Arthur picks up gold bars continuously. Also, be sure to load up the correct save, because in another of our tests, hitting the wrong one seems to have broken the glitch from then on,” Watts said.

Having an unlimited supply of money can be fun, but gamers will have to remember that this is not the way the game is supposed to work and it’s cheating. At any rate, players may want to take advantage of this right now because Rockstar Games will likely come up with a fix once they release the next patch for “Red Dead Redemption 2.”
