There are a wealth of challenges to complete in Red Dead Redemption 2 that will give you some sweet loot upon completion.
There are 90 challenges available in Red Dead Redemption 2, split into nine categories. If you complete all ten challenges in any of the categories you’ll be given rewards such as attribute increases, money and, best of all, reinforced equipment you can acquire from the trapper.
Once you’ve collected a complete set of gear, you can add two permanent bonus tanks to your main attribute bars.
Each attribute is associated with three sets. So, for example, if you were to collect a full set from either Horseman, Sharpshooter or Weapons Expert, you would gain your first Health bonus tank. Your second would be from gathering one of the remaining two sets.
After you’ve completed every challenge you’ll unlock the Legend of the East outfit, which comes with a tonne of bonuses, but before you can get your hands on it, you’ll need to work your way through all of these challenges.
Most of these challenges are fairly straightforward and almost act as tutorials for all the things you can do in Red Dead Redemption 2, such as picking ‘erbs or finding a treasure map.
You must complete the challenges in order, so complete the first task to unlock the second, then the second to unlock the third and so on.
You can attempt these challenges at any time throughout Red Dead Redemption 2. It would be wise to start working on them early in the game to minimize the grind later on as you’ll need to finish them all if you want to reach 100% completion.
