Bountiful

Bountiful

You survived for 3 days holding a bounty of $250 in all states.

How to unlock the Bountiful achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 - Definitive Guide

Firstly, turn autosave off and make a back up save as you need to play honourably to unlock missions for Lending a Hand.

There are five states but you only need four for this achievement, according to comments below, so thanks for the feedback:

1. Lemoyne (do this last)
2. New Hanover
3. Ambarino
4. West Elizabeth

For New Austin, you automatically have $250 bounty here by default due to events in Blackwater mentioned in the prologue and chapter one. It is possible to remove this bounty later in the game and comments say they did not/cannot get another bounty in New Austin, so don't worry about that state.

To get a bounty, head into a town and cause chaos by shooting people and animals. It doesn't matter if you die when you are obtaining a bounty, the time only matters when you have all 5 bounties active.

Ambarino can be a bit tricky as there is not a major town so kill someone on your way there, mount them to your horse and then when you see another civilian, they will alert the authorities.

EDIT: Maxumulli0n has suggested an alternative way to get a bounty in Ambarino:
For Ambarino, stand near the train tracks heading east to west and stop the train in Ambarino. Eventually, the sheriff's will get alerted and take out as many as you can to get your bounty up.
There are several comments below for Ambarino alternatives as it can be quite tricky. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.

The last one is Lemoyne and I recommend going to Rhodes for this. Rhodes has a mill at the north-western part of town. Head there and to the room inside, going up the ramp. Use the sawn-off shotgun on the authorities that enter from the ramp or climbing up the ledge to the left. Once you have at least $250, let them kill you.

Once you respawn, head to the saloon and rent the room. Sleep 18 hours twice (max allowed) and then go upstairs and play blackjack for about 5 minutes. Head back downstairs and rent the room again, sleep for 18 hours and it should unlock. If not, sleep again.

You can not be attacked by bounty hunters whilst playing a mini-game, and they never started a pursuit whilst I was in the saloon. I stayed there for another 4 days after the achievement unlocked and nobody came.

You don’t need to go to New Austin. You automatically have a bounty in Blackwater as part of the story.

If you paid off the debt in New Austin after acquiring it, I think you have to wait until it is no longer hostile. Let me know if there is a workaround, but there is no way to earn a Bounty in New Austin as far as I can tell.

I was thinking the same but it counts for some reason. I can only see the border of
Blackwater on my map and it says the bounty is ‘wanted dead or alive’, so it must extend all the way through to NA. The red line doesn’t cross over the Upper Montana River into the rest of WE.

Can confirm that the whole south is Wantet-area. Was going there, hoping it's only around Blackwater... Nope :) At some point, you just get shot, even with no one close to you.

For those who have progressed to far in the story the train will not spawn on the tracks for the Ambarino location. You will have to use the method of killing someone and showing another civilian.

I’m not sure why that is. All bounties above 250? It may be possible that you have encountered a bug. Have you checked to see if it is ‘Done! Unlocking!’?

Does the bounty have to be over $250 in each county? If so, how do you raise the bounty? I have a bounty in each county but only one is over $250. The rest is around $60 or $70 dollars.

Yes. Raise your bounty by committing crimes.

Just a heads up the hours are not consistent sleeping at the saloon I had to sleep 5 times because it varied from 12-19 hours and you need to survive a total of 72 hours.

I dunno why, I couldn't let them kill me, but that meant Rhodes was on lockdown and I couldn't use the hotel. However, Saint Denis was still open, so I rode there and did the hotel stay thing and got the achievement.

I never saw a single bounty hunter.

Also thought I'd add in, if you do die after getting the required amount of bounty for each state but before surviving 3 days you can just keep sleeping till it is 3 day in a row. As long as you have the required bounties simultaneously, you can do the 3 consecutive days when ever you like.

In Chapter 6, there is a time where you’re wanted dead or alive across sections of New Havover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth and New Austin (both due to the Blackwater scenario). Does that mean, at that junction, that you only have to increase your bounty in Ambarino? compute

Sorry, im using xbox edge n didnt kno what tab it was. You could add to ur guide most ppl r lazy to read comments. Also Claythegreat im sure the only way to get bounty in ambarino is train. i was there trying 4 ages without bumping into npc's.

I recommend for end game players hunting this ceevo is take a train to annesburg then follow it by horse then hijack once it hits the ambarino boarder n slam the trains breaks on to gain ur bounty. Then do the other 4 states

For amberino don't waste your time with trains or hogtied cops, you gonna spend A LOT OF TIME praying for npc's to report you. Instead go opposite to Fort Wallace and start killing the army with the sniper.

Don't know if this will work, but I found another way that might work for getting a bounty in Amberino, make sure its daytime so there is a good chance for people to be riding around the area and kill the first one you see, if you wait a few min you should get the message that someone has witnessed the crime, just wait a little longer the Wanted message should appear, then just kill the lawmen that show up. If its the bounty isn't high enough just repeat until it is

If you wait late in the game, you will also get automatically a bounty in New Hanover following events of the story, so you will need to get "manually" 250$ bounties just in Ambarino, West Elizabeth and Lemoyne.

For those who have completed the story and are doing this during the epilogue, you CANNOT make a bounty in New Austin as it is not needed. You only need to make a bounty in West Elizabeth, Ambarino, New Hanover, & Lemoyne.
Also, its pretty easy to ride to New Austin after all bounties acquired to set up a camp to sleep x2; then use the Teleport in your house to go to Tumbleweed, set up camp again and sleeeep.

I went through all four states with the same lawman hogtied on my horse. Then whenever the lawmen stopped searching for me (i.e. after I wiped them out), I just took him off my horse, set him free (triggering a crime as all lawmen are linked telepathically), then hogtied him up again with the lasso ready for the next wave. Made it really easy to increase my bounty.

Getting the bounties wasn't the problem in the end.

I ended up trying 3 different methods in order to let 3 days pass.

First the save and load the save again, so you can sleep again instantly

Then the blackjackthing mentioned in the solution but it took me way to long and because of the gambler challenges i can't see any minigames in this game anymore.

Last but not least i tried it with sleep two times and then use fast travel.

After sleeping for i think 7 times it finally popped.

Just got back into the game on PC.

New Austin is not required for this. I finished the epilogue and had been playing the post game and got this achievement with only bounties in Ambarino, West Elizabeth, Lemoyne and New Hanover. I slept at the Loft a couple times, rode out and camped, fast traveled to Beechers Hope and slept there a couple nights and I got it. Bounties range from $300 to $500.

New Austin is without bounty.

If you stop a train in Ambarino, police will not come (that's why you only rob trains in Ambarino, never elsewhere). Ambarino has no cities (only Wapiti Reservation) and thus, no police force.

However, if you start the crime in Ambarino (just kill the machinist) then drive the train to New Hannover, police will start coming as soon as you hit New Hannover, but the bounty will count towards Ambarino. This means you can increase your bounty very quickly.

NB: You can't use the maximum sleep reset trick of saving after two full length sleeps, then reloading and being able to sleep twice again - because it also resets the timer on your 3 days of bounty.

I got too close to Rhodes whilst wanted, and it was locked down, so I drove the train to Saint Denis, jumped off, put my mask on to ride to the saloon's lodgings, slept twice, then had a bath before sleeping some more. I didn't die, it's not hard, but it might take 2hrs unless you don't mind dying - not that I didn't reload at the end anyway.
Saving just after you get Bandit Challenge 5 done and starting Bountiful from there is a good idea, because it requires you to get a $250 bounty. Also, if you've hijacked the train and the lawmen aren't turning up you can draw their attention by using dynamite to rob the on-board safe (RT, Y to plant the dynamite).

Ambarino is not a problem. Just travel there back and forth and shoot coming travelers. Your crime will be witnessed eventually. Stay at that point in red zone since and laws will come. And you know what to do next.

By KDiamond1973 on 16 Mar 2023 06:00
An easy strategy for Ambarino is fast traveling to Wapiti Indian Reservation, heading to Bacchus Station and jumping on a train. Once on the train, jump between the train cars as soon as you've crossed the bridge to Ambarino (the bridge right by the station), shoot whoever is on the train and then the conductor. Once you've shot and killed all on the train, wait for officers and bounty hunters to come by and shoot them too.

Hope this helps!

I have a tip for Ambarino. Get a train from anywhere to Annesburg and from here sit on the train and wait until it gets to where you need. Start shooting on the train when ready and then eventually the law will arrive.

Ambarino definitely IS a problem. Perhaps not a big one, but for sure an annoying one. Tried the train strategy, but was apparently too far away from population centers, so even though a crime was reported, no one came. Tried holding up strangers, but instead of reporting crimes, they shot back. Took a long while to finally get the law on me...

What finally worked is to kill someone and wait over their dead body. Loot them when somebody else rides by...

But Blackwater is in West Elizabeth, how does that give you the bounty in New Austin? Or do you have bounties in both states because of the events before the beginning of the story? I haven't explored West Elizabeth nor New Austin, so my map is still fogged.

I have over $250 in all states except New Austin as I have completed the story, have slept countless times at a camp but have not had the achievement pop even after saving/quitting..

EDIT: I noticed I had a $275 bounty in two states, I went back to Valentine and raised that to $310 and rode back to Armadillo. I then placed a camp and slept two more times (18 hours each) and the achievement popped. Not sure if that had anything to do with it, or sleeping skews the "survival time" but yeah.

I believe that camping does count, I slept at a camp 4 times, 15-18 hours. Only able to do 2 before I had to ride around and then do the next 2. Went to St. Denis saloon because I had heat at Rhodes, and slept one night, achievement popped. Only thing with the camps is every time you wake up you need to fend off a group of bounty hunters each time.

This achievement was easier than I thought it would be. I did this after I fully completed the game. Saved at Beecher's Hope and went on a rampage in Tumbleweed, Blackwater, Ambarino, and Saint Denis. Ambarino wasn't that difficult to get a bounty. Shot a person riding a horse and got a $5 bounty. Stood on a hill and waited for bounty hunters and then it was easy to get the $250.

I then rested as long as possible rode to a different location and did the same thing. I was surprised that nobody was coming after me. I stayed away from towns and if I saw a red line that shows someone is tracking me, I rode in the opposite direction. Waited until I can sleep again and slept for the maximum time and got the achievement.

Since I completed the game I had plenty of tonics, food, and ammo to keep both me and Thunderstruck, my Arabian Rose Gray May alive.

Can't you just sit and idle at camp for the 72 in-game hours? It might take longer but if enemies can't attack you while you resting at camp, then it wouldn't require any money to spend gambling or renting a room. Can anyone confirm?

What ended up happening to me in Ambarino was I was lucky enough to find people hanging out along the trail around the "N" in AMBARINO on the map during the day and shot a few and left them on the trail and just sat a little off to the side waiting for people to come by. After getting to this spot, it took only about 10 minutes or less to rack up a $250 bounty. The lawmen stopped coming after me at a certain point so I had to just stay posted until other found the bodies and reported it.

I wasn't able to stop in front of the train as I had accidentally already killed the train engineer so I wasn't able to test that one out.

I can not do any better than how LuckyConquerer2 has done his guide. I just thought I'd post a guide to which one and in what order. Suggestions before you start, have a good horse, bring the ammo, tonics, and whatever else you fancy. If you are stopping off at a town, make your horse accessible so you can make a quick getaway.

Start in Ambarino and go on the lower path which runs parallel to the train tracks. Kill the first guy you encounter, and stow him on your horse. Ride along and meet your witnesses, who can then get you the law and bring them to the train tracks. Kill as many as you can, and kill anybody who happens to come by train. It was here where I noticed that after the second train, they seemed to stop throughout which was useful. This will also be your longest one due to the low frequency of travelers.
Once you hit $250, time to move onto Valentine to get a stagecoach.

Go to Armadillo in New Austin. Kill a random cholera infected person, stow again, and make way to Macfarlane's Ranch. Hopefully along the way you will bump into more people who can help get you some heat. Reach your $250 mark, move onto Strawberry! I risked the bounty hunters and rode to it, but however you get there is fine.

When you get to Strawberry, stand at one of the four corner exits to the town. Here you can kill who you need without worrying as much about where they are coming from as you only have 3 directions. Make Strawberry strawberry coloured on your mad rage, get to $250, and move to Valentine.

Should be a quick dash to Valentine, but as you did with Strawberry choose a spot (I went by the sheep auction) and go for it. Get your $250 bounty and get out of there heading towards Rhodes.

If, like me, you are worried about Bounty Hunters I would highly advice riding along the train tracks. Never saw a single one this way.

Stop in Rhodes by the tracks (for quick getaway means), and start to shoot up the place. Once you hit $250 you do need to move. Stay along the tracks and head to St Denis.

St Denis is your last stop. When you get here, head to a local saloon. Hire a room, rent a bath, play some poker, sleep as much as you can and hopefully your achievement pops up like mine did half way through a sleep.

Again, like me, if you then leave the saloon and mess up going to the station to pay off what is accumulated in bounty ($1600 for me) by running over a pedestrian who didn't look where they are going! You will need to head up to Van Horn or Rhodes as St Denis goes on immediate lock down.

Hope this helps someone.

To unlock the Bountiful trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must commit enough crimes in each state to earn a $250 bounty in each, causing bounty hunters to actively pursue you. Once you have earned the $250 in the final state, you must survive three consecutive days on the run from the hunters.

Ambarino
Lemoyne
West Elizabeth
New Hanover
New Austin

I would recommend leaving this until the epilogue so that you have a good chance of survival and also to allow you to have finished off the below trophy, which requires high honour:

Red Dead Redemption 2Lending a HandThe Lending a Hand trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2 worth 56 pointsComplete all optional Honor story missions.


If you care about your honour levels at this point, make a manual save. Earning $250 bounty in each state is a lot of crime.

The easiest way to earn $250 is to take out a lot of law enforcement. Although this is pretty straight forward in every area with a major town, Ambarino doesn't really have one. The easiest way to sort this out in Ambarino is to wait for a train to come along (or hop on one elsewhere and allow it to travel through) and then rob it. Law enforcement will come after you, and there is plenty of cover on a train to take them all out while you rack up a bounty. You can even blow up the train engine with dynamite to get a rapid bump (I immediately hit $900 when blowing up a train in Ambarino).

Note: You don't have to survive from start to finish with this; if you get killed with e.g. 3/5 states at $250, just carry on with the next state when you resurrect. All that matters is that you survive three consecutive days once all states have a $250 bounty.

Once you have your $250 in each state, you can easily survive three days by camping out in the wilderness for the maximum allowed time, leaving the camp and setting up another. You'll find that you can't immediately go back to sleep in the same camp each time because normally bounty hunters will have caught up with you somewhat -- the game won't let you sleep or make a new camp while there is an active pursuit. You can either deal with them or, even easier, just ride off in the opposite direction to their red markers on your mini map until you are able to set up a new camp. Three or four sleeps should do it. I recommend New Austin for this camping trip as there's not a lot of law enforcement or innocent bystanders to make things more difficult.

Worked perfectly. The only things I would recommend would be:
1) Engage with law enforcement with a lot of medicines and ammo for your favourite weapon
2) Try to engage/stay quite close to the state border, so if the heat comes up you can easily run away to the next area. It's not the smartest idea to start the shootout in the centre of Blackwater or Saint Denis. Stay at the outskirts of town.
3) Leave Ambarino state as the last one. After blowing up the train and shootout you can head up north to the glacier area and camp from time to time to let the time pass. Same with New Austin of you prefer it as the last one. It is a desert...
4) And most important: When shooting stay on your legs, not on your horse. Your horse is an easy target and there is nothing worse than having to escape the area on foot and leaving your horse behind injured. It's a big No No.

There are five states in the game: Ambarino, New Hanover, Lemoyne, West Elizabeth and New Austin.

For this trophy, you need to amass a $250 bounty in each of the states at the same time, and survive three days. This will need to be done during the epilogue at the earliest, as you won't have access to New Austin until then. It's best to do this after you max your Honor as this will surely lower it or simply back up your save before you do this. The simplest way to amass a bounty is by murdering civilians and law enforcement. This may take some time, and can be a tad frustrating as some locations aren't heavy on civilians. For Ambarino, your best bet is to grab a sniper, and snipe the guards in Fort Wallace from across the river. As long as you're standing in Ambarino, it will count towards that bounty. If you find yourself overwhelmed by gun fire coming your way, run. Better to regroup, than to get killed or arrested. If you prefer a non-violent approach, you can go to a town, steal a horse/wagon, outrun the law - rinse and repeat.

When you reach a high enough bounty in a state, bounty hunters will seek a big pay by trying to take you out. They'll have a red skull icon on your map. They typically try to block roads along your path, and will start to pursue and you're nearing their location. When you see them, you can fight or take a detour. Detours are your safest bet. Surviving three days while having a $250 bounty in each state is easier than it sounds as safe locations can ensure bounty hunters won't bother you. Go to your home base and keep sleeping until you've passed three days.

There are 5 states in total:
Lemoyne
New Hanover
Ambarino
West Elizabeth
New Austin
In order not to wait 3 days, you can simply set the desired price per head in all states, and then just sleep, wait 5-10 minutes in real time and sleep again until the trophy appears. Ambarino is the hardest place to get the price because... there are no cities there, so we kidnap someone and ride around until they see them in the territory of the state we need, or we kill and stand near the corpse, trying in every possible way to attract attention to ourselves. You can make a manual save before the epilogue, when all states are open, and in the last state (New Austin) the reward for the head of the story is $250, go to the rest of the states, after receiving the trophy, reload the save, and so we save honor points without losses

The reward in New Austen is not needed and does not matter what stage of the game you are at

The best time to do this is in Chapter 6, when there will be a reward in 2 states for you dead or alive. It will only be necessary to fill in Strawberry, Valentine and Rhodes. You can just go to each city and start at the sheriff's station.

A small life hack that works even in Ambarino. Just throw a stick of dynamite at a passing locomotive. Immediately 200 dollars are put on the wanted list and the lawmen jump in as a bonus. There are railways everywhere, so there will be no problems.

When you reach the required wanted level: go sleep in a hotel in some city. For example, Rhodes. Sleep for 18 hours twice (you won't be able to do more), and then go play cards for about 5 minutes, after which you will be able to sleep again. Sleep for 18 hours and the trophy should drop.

All of the above is true, but I’ll also add that you can die, I myself died from the lawmen in the first state when I got a fine and kept doing it for myself, the trophy fell out.

All 5 states are optional if you are in New Austin before Chapter 6 - Dead or Alive, this is also considered a sufficient reward for the trophy, so you can do it with 4 states.

It would be easier to hijack a train and travel through all available states, stopping briefly until the guardians of the law arrive.

In Ambarino, wait for the train near the railway, they often run, then according to the scheme - the witness, the lawyers and already jam the train passengers, I got so carried away and saved up $790. In other states there will be no problems.

In principle, not a difficult achievement, just a matter of time
The plate does not count as dead or alive
I knocked it out like this:
- We save in advance. So as not to simply lose honor, ammunition and money and not pay fines
- First, we go to the state of New Austin (New Austin. The state is at the bottom left on the map) and begin to collect $250 on our head.
- 33 New Austin we go to the state of West Elizabeth in the city of Blackwater and also shoot civilians and police in anticipation of 250
- From Blackwater we go to Rigs Station and buy a ticket to Valentine
- After arriving in Valentine, we hijack a train and collect 250 on our head there
- Being on the train, we simply go to Lemoyne in the city of Rhodes and there we repeat the actions of killing police officers and civilians up to 250 per head
- While on the train we reach Ambarino and get off the train. We wait for the bots and steal the horse. Since there is no central police department in the state of Ambarino, we will have to wait until after the murder a witness appears who cannot be killed , since this is the only way to attract the police to Ambarino and we also stuff 250 per head
- After there is a bounty on your head in all states, we go to the nearest hotel and rent a room. We skip 2 times for 18 hours, after which we leave the city and set up camp, where we also skip 2 times for 18 hours

Performed after the mission to Strawberry to free Mick (Miki?)
After this mission you will have a $300 reward in this state.
After which we go to the southernmost state (a little north of the place between Saint Denis and Rhodes - convenient, because then moving north you will pass the 2 remaining states along the shortest route), create chaos, the main thing is to leave the witnesses alive, three waves of lawyers and you have just about 280-310$ reward.
We move to the next state higher on the map, repeat the same thing.
And to the northernmost state, we repeat for the last time.
After which I went to the very first gang camp and spent the night there.
True, after sleep, bounty hunters immediately came for me, but it was easy to hide from them.
This is just enough time for you to go back to sleep.

I received the achievement without ever having been to the New Austin state. It's enough to get $250 in the other four states.
