How to unlock the Take From the Rich achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 - Definitive Guide

The mission ‘Magicians for Sport’ during Chapter 3 is the best way to make a lot of progress towards this achievement. Every enemy in this mission has $20+ on them, so if you have done even a decent bit of looting up to this point the achievement will probably pop here.

I'm not sure how much I had beforehand but I went to the town of Saint Dennis and as I was walking into the Tailor, a guy walking out brushed up against me and took $600 off me. I lassoed him and hog tied him, then looted him. He had over $1,200 on him, achievement popped right after. Currently on Chapter 3 btw.

I came across a lady who had hurt her ankle, I stopped to help her. It turned out she was faking and pulled a gun on me. I let her rob me of my money, then straight after that I shot her and looted her body for my money ($180). This counted towards the achievement as mine popped straight after.

If you don't get it at the above mission, chapter 4's 'Angelo Bronte, a man of honour' mission has a ton of enemies that also drop at least $20 each.

I made progress on this achievement naturally through the story progression, anyway, this solution is great.

Una recomendación sería, en la misión de secuestrar a Angelo Bronte, lo pueden saquear... Terminando la misión la puede hacer otra vez, lo vuelven a saquear y automáticamente les sale el logro

When you kill an enemy, you will have the option to "loot" or "pick up" their body. To loot, simply go over to the corpse and hold the cn_Y button and you will pick up money or supplies. There are plenty of enemies in this game, so you'll naturally get this one as time progresses if you make sure to loot as often as possible.

Also you have the ability to rob strangers as they appear in the open world. Simply go up to them, hold cn_LT to pull up menu of actions, and hold cn_Y to rob them.


As long as you're remembering to loot most or all enemies you kill, you'll reach 250 dollars fairly early on in the game. This can take a bit of time as most enemies only drop a couple dollars if any money at all, so don't expect this to be completed in a very short amount of time.

The gold bar method has been patched so the easiest way to earn money is to follow the glitch in this video. (Thanks to Reborn Insanity and others for letting me know).

As far as I know, all decent glitches and exploits have been patched, so the easiest way to earn money is via collecting gold bars (thousands of videos on YouTube show these - but many contain spoilers, so I won't link them), or main missions. I would say use the main mission for this, the money is not a lot once you get deep into the story. It is recommended to collect the gold bars in the epilogue.

Once you have enough money to fully upgrade the camp, do so, especially so you can fast travel. Donating just $250 will unlock:
Red Dead Redemption 2Give to the PoorThe Give to the Poor achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 worth 12 pointsDonate $250 to the gang tithing box.


When you have loads of money, head to Saint Denis' tailor. You should be able to fast travel here if you have previously been here.

Make a new save before you enter. When you enter, you should get pickpocketed. Chase the thief, hogtie him and then loot him. If he took more than $250, you will get that money plus a bit extra. He took $490 from me and I gained $610. The reason for saving is that you don't always get the money back. I tested it on three different save files so I believe this event happens for everyone. Please let me know if that is not the case.

You can then spend $5000 for:
Red Dead Redemption 2Pony UpThe Pony Up achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2 worth 21 pointsSpend $5000 across all shops.

This is great. Done it twice already, works like a charm (60 gold bars/$30k). Followed the video as well as Lucky's extra instructions.

Thanks, LuckyConquerer2

Sasha, did you take the paper from the loot box? Was auto save off?

Any guides without a glitch? I already took and used that gold bar from Limpany, I find it very hard to make money.

I used the glitch and have 60k but it doesn’t register as money robbed or looted. It does help for the Pony Up achievement tho. So a -1 and a +1 vote, equivalent to zero lol.

Taking the paper from the box breaks the glitch, I can confirm.

The money for being robbed or looted won’t count for the box but if you head to the shop I mentioned, you are likely to get pickpocketed. You can chase the thief, hogtie him and then loot him. You get the money back, achievement and no honour loss.

I got pickpocketed walking into the gunsmith at Saint Denis. I think it just happens to be the first shop you enter when you visit for the first time.

I was able to do this, but only one extra bar. I tried it a few times to be sure. I also noticed that I was not able to manually save while I was near the office (manual save was blocked), so I don't know if they've tried to patch it already or what. I was able to save when taking the bar and get 1 extra, so I'm not going to be greedier. I'll take the extra $500 and run.

You can easily get this on the mission "Revenge Is A Dish Best Eaten" in chapter 4.

By this point, you should already have a good sum of this done, but if not

He should have around $158 on him when you loot him. If you haven't been looting, you can do the save/reload on this or simply replay the mission to loot him.

If you play regulary, i suggest you to loot every body as possible after the big shootouts, before the lawmen arrives. People usually have 50 cents up to a dollar in their pockets, but if you are able to kill bounty hunters, they usually have a lot of cash in their pockets. The amount is between 22 to 31 dollars. There is a mission in Chapter 3 where you have to hunt down a few bounty hunters in the corn fields. This will definetly give you half of the required amount of looted cash onto your progression.

To unlock the Take From the Rich trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need rob or loot a combined total of $250 from civilians and enemies.

To loot a dead body, simply walk towards them and hold the Triangle button. The location of dead bodies will be highlighted on your mini-map with an X. When looting a body, you will pick up money or supplies. This should come naturally throughout the course of the game if you make sure to loot as much as possible.

To rob from a stranger, walk up to them and hold the L2 button to lock on to them and then hold Triangle to rob them.

As long as you're making a point of looting the bodies of enemies you kill, this should come naturally during the game without risking your honor meter dropping. Looting innocent bodies will often drop your honor level so be careful of that.

There is a story mission late in Chapter 3 (Magicians for Sport) that involves Arthur looking for some bounty hunters in a corn field. Looting each of them will give you around $20 per body, which is a great way to speed up this trophy. Additionally, in a late Chapter 4 mission (Revenge is a Dish Best Eaten), the target will yield over $150 if looted after he is knocked out, which will grant a sizeable chunk if you have not yet obtained the trophy.

While not really needed, the trinket you get from the Legendary Elk Antler can help with this.

Just examine the dead bodies as you go. Regular enemies usually only have small items, but the main targets can be found for under a hundred dollars

You can also collect from your opponents' horses. There are even usually rarer goods there. Just calm the horse to the square first, otherwise he will kick you.

If you didn’t knock it out in the story, then in the New Austin Region the Del Lobos gang bandits drop about $5 from each, much more than from other opponents.

I got the trophy this way, after I got to “Saint Denis” I went to the tailor, at the entrance, a thief robbed me of about $200, caught me with a salmon, tied me up and searched me, took more than $300 from him, I have no idea, random whether it was or will be so for everyone.

I confirm, in the same city of Saint Denis, when, according to the plot in Chapter 3, I caught escaped prisoners on a train. The train stopped in this town, entering a gun store, he was robbed right at the entrance (-$600) by a guy, whom he then caught and took away more than 900 bucks, the trophy immediately fell out.

The trophy is buggy. When I opened the map and was just hunting, I came across houses where there was no one and robbed them. I attacked gang sites where I found them and $100 at a time + caches and the trophy did not fall out. It happened to a friend when he did everything that I described above. I fell out when I in September Denis went to the gunsmith (which you can rob) Niger stole $ 500 with me, caught up with him, catching it with the help of Lasso and then robbing $ 1.250 and the trophy immediately fell out. The funny thing is, when I entered this store a second time after some time, this thief was there again.
