Red Dead Redemption

This is the Great Legend Shemp Howard here coming at you live from Armadillo people! Today I am going to let you in on my little secret on How the West Was Won.

The best place I have received XP is Twin Rocks! TWIN ROCKS PEOPLE! In the old days prior to the patches I would get about 1750 XP in under a minute on this hideout.

Currently if you clear this hideout in under a minute you will average about 600 XP. 600 XP a minute is great XP. When you go to Twin Rocks you will want to bring a Evans Repeater (from the Pike's Basin hideout) and/or a Bolt Action Rifle (from the Tumbleweed hideout). The first time you do the Twin Rocks hideout make sure you go inside for the Mauser pistol. It is a great weapon to take out the Walton's Gang from up close.

Before you start make sure you have a full bar of Dead Eye and make sure you have multiplayer aiming set to Casual in the options. For the best score make sure you kill all 22 Walton's Gang members in one kill combo. If you kill them under the one minute mark you will get an average of 600 XP.

This solution involves getting into a glitched Online public free roam. You will know you are in one when you go to whistle your horse, it does not come. The next step is to go in the options menu and put your online aiming to expert (This is because you get extra XP if you go in expert aiming). Next, go to any gang hideout on the map. You have to be the only one at the hideout(Basically, if the hideout is flashing, don't go to it!) As soon as you enter a gang hideout, it will end. You will get anywhere from 200-400 XP(Depending on which hideout you go to. Twin Rocks gives 400XP). When it ends, press left on the D-pad to replay. Repeat this over and over until you reach lvl 50. Now all you need to for now is constantly press left for however long you need to. It look me about 3 hours to get from 25 to 50. That's pretty much it.

Oh, and I use TA daily so comment or message me if you are having trouble following this,

Still works as of July 2016 with backwards compatibility

The way i did it was going trough Pike's Basin on double XP weekend. solo you can do it in about 5 mins, maybe even less, i made a video of it on youtube. you gain about 1800-1900 xp per run on a normal day (no double xp)



hope it helps!

Ok i find the other guides very useful, but i find doing the Tesoro Azul Hideout much easier. Even though i have not obtained this achievement yet, i have leveled up soo much doing this.

Ok you want to start at the main entrance with a rifle and there should be to two guards next to the gates,and two guys at the tops of two buildings, Use dead eye to get rid of them quickly. Then change to a automatic weapon, or some thing which has a good rate of fire and fast reload times, a mauser pistol works very well. pick off the banditos at the church and the building behind it as those guys tend to kill you pretty easily, MAKE SURE YOU DONT KILL THE WHORES!!!! even though you earn $10 when you kill them, if you keep them alive you will see that you are given XP for doing so. The more whores alive the more XP. Once you get rid of the people around the church, head to the top of it. You will find a High Power Pistol, so pick that up. If you run out of bullets on your mauser use you High power pistol now.

Now the reinforcements spawn (they will spawn outside of the hideout walls). shoot the ones who are close to you with the pistol and the long distance ones with a long distance rifle, such as the bolt action or springfield rifle (the springfield is good but its reload time is very poor). You will see banditos on horses throwing fire bottles over the hideout walls, kill them as quick as you can as they can kill the whores and even you!!!

Then after that you should be done. If you do it solo you are gaurenteed 1100+ XP seeing as you've done it fast enough, and not killed as many whores, and in a good time.

For me in solo it will take around 2/3mins with about 1500XP each time.

You wont need to delete you system cache, you can do in either public,private or system link.

Hope my guide has helped. Its certainly helped me!!

The places that I went to are Tesoro Azul and Pike's Basin.

Tesoro Azul is my favorite place to go. If you go there do not kill the whores. If you kill the whores you get 10 xp for all 5. but if you don't kill them, at the end of the hideout you get 250xp for saving all 5. The fastest time I beat this place is 1 minute 32 seconds. I get around 1100-1200 every time I do this.You can do this hideout by yourself or with one other friend, I tried doing it with two other people but I only got 600-800 xp every time.

Pike's Basin will take a little longer than Tesoro Azul. The fastest time I got on here was 5 minutes. Kill all the people there and try to get a high kill chain. To finish the hideout faster make sure you ride your horse to all 3 objective places. When you finish the hideout you will get around 1700-1900 xp. Hope this helps you guys out!

There is a glitch tutorial available on youtube where you can go from rank 0-50 in 45 minutes. It works and the achievement will unlock.

So I thought I would give a text guide on the glitched lobby

Now it is a glitched lobby and not a hacked one, when I got in the lobby I was the only one in there.

*search for a game on public free roam
*Once you are in a game press up on the d-pad to summon your horse, if no horse comes then you have managed to find a glitched lobby
*So once you have found a glitched lobby, fast travel to Armarillo, once there go into the Sheriffs office
*You will find 3 guys lying on the floor and it will look blurry with a heart beat sound, shoot one of them to trigger the glitch

That is it, wait about 45 minutes and you will hit rank 50

*Notes* If you are going to leave the game idle make sure you use a wired controller, if your controller turns off you get kicked out
If you need any of the kills, 500 with pistol, rifle or any other weapon, including head shots, every bullet fired into the bodies on the floor count as a kill
If you encounter invisible weapons in the glitched lobby, you can melee the NPC's to trigger the glitch
On occasions your XP can stop and you just need to shoot or melee the NPC again to set it off again

Now I managed to find a glitched lobby on first attempt and was alone, I left it idle, controller turned off and I got kicked out. I went from 5-44, so I looked for another glitched lobby after an hour of searching I couldn't find one.

EDIT #1: I managed to get the cheev on first lobby I entered, there was a lot of other players, but I headed into the sheriff's office and the guys kept falling down from the ceiling, some of them didn't trigger it, I kept shooting all the guys in their till the glitch triggered

EDIT #2: thewintman has commented that the sheriff's office isn't the only place to encounter the NPC's that trigger that glitch, he said; "I'd add that the three NPCs (Walton Gang) were outside the railroad station in Armadillo for me; once on the wooden decking to the left of the main door (if stood outside), and once on the dirt road intersection between the railroad station and saloon."

This video can be useful for those who want to make XP as soon as possible . Still works in 2016 .

If you're like me, RDR has been sitting uncompleted in your game's list for about 11 years now. I would occasionally scroll past and eyeball the list, looking at the massive amount of multiplayer achievements that I never unlocked. This achievement, along with a few others, gave me definite doubts about my desire to return to this game and complete it. Turns out, getting to level 50 really isn't too bad. I've been playing off and on the past few weeks cleaning up the co-op missions as well as the miscellaneous online achievements.

First off, there is no way to glitch your way to the highest rank. The most consistent and quickest way to level up as of May 2021 is to do the Twin Rocks hideout with the bolt action rifle. It’s the strongest rifle and is effective at any range. To get this gun, you need to start your free roam session at the Warthington Ranch gang hideout. There is always an enemy or two equipped with a bolt action. You unlock the bolt action at level 41 I think, but by that time you should know the best way to gain xp and won’t need a guide.

Now that you have the bolt action, head to Twin Rocks. This hideout can be completed in under a minute once you know where all the enemies spawn and get good at headshotting. Assuming you headshot the majority of enemies and get the "Clean House" bonus, you'll end up with around 600xp in a minute or less.

I've made a video showing where to find the bolt action as well as completing Twin Rocks in under a minute. This can be a bit of a grind, but I've been playing occasionally for the last few weeks while also going after the other multiplayer achievements. I think I'm level 39 at the time of writing this and it's been pretty fun for me overall. Good luck
