Mafisen Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Gang hideouts can be a good source for cash. Just found 100 bucks in one on my way to Cairn Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limey77 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Just play the game, there's one bank job mission that you'll come across and then if you crack each safe you'll never worry about money again. I always had $2-3000 in cash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kean_1 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Personally, I have no interest in the exploit. It takes away from the gameplay. Funny enough, I've found that looting provides a wealth of valuable tonics, jewelry and other items I can sell to fences for a tidy sum. I actually try to seek out gang camps and ambushes because of this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I've got more money than I know how to spend. No glitch, no treasure hunting. Just following the story and free roaming. Money starts off very tight, but by the time you hit chapter 4 you have plenty (if you've bee not king all the mission so nde behaving yoursel).

I ran out of things to buy, so I donated all my money to camp and got myself arrested. No way in hell was I paying that $325 bounty. Still have to take care of the other 2 though...

The only reason I do them is because I enjoy that part of the gameplay. I really wish bounties were more, well, bountiful in the game. I currently have about $4k and am able to maintain that amount even with paying off bounties, customizing weapons, buying ammo, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melting Snowflakes Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Hunting, in a smart way. If you are selective about which animals you shoot, use the correct rifle so you don't ruin the pelts, etc, you can make good money hunting. Also ... always riding with a varmint rifle out so you can always land a turkey, bunny, squirrel, etc, along your path is a good idea ... never enter town without something to sell ... Fishing. I find fishing an easier way to make money. You can carry a lot of fish, of each type, they don't go bad on your horse, and they are worth a good bit of money. The best (most valuable) fish are generally the harder ones to catch. It's a good skill to learn for making money. Just to see how much and report in this post ... I just sold about 15 fish for $50 in the game at the butchers. Edited November 9, 2018 by Melting Snowflakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggy Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Looting bodies/homes, and missions pay the best, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make some good, quick money from that stuff. After an ambush I can hear the faint sound of "cha ching" as I look at the dead bodies around me. Also, the tonics...... I don't hold on to those. I sell nearly all of them except for a could potent health tonics and the horse revivers. You can only hold on to so many and these things are frequently on dead bodies I loot, in homes, etc. It's a waste otherwise as those too bring in some decent cash. .....it all adds up.

houseofcantor Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Another good racket is to look for smoke. I ride up to the camp and if one or two people sass off I ride away but if a bunch of O'Driscolls (or other gangs) start mouthing off, it's time to get paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tonics are also trivial to make if you've learned how, using herbs that you find while hunting, another source of money. Same for herbivore and predator bait.

Melting Snowflakes Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Capturing, breaking, and selling horses can also be a source of money, but not much if you take them to the stable as soon as you break them. Once you've ridden them a little and upped their stats and love, then you get a little more for them. I'm surprised, however, that you don't get more for horses .. especially given as much trouble as they are to capture, break, and deliver to the stables compared to something like hunting and fishing - I would assume the low money is because of how easy it is to STEAL horses lol.

Kormath Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) gold glitch doesn't work anymore, at least on xbox, tried it yesterday to help pay off my 2 bounties (450 and 400) and could only get 2 bars. Didn't think it was really worth it so i reloaded my game before then and just took the 1 bar to pay off my $400 bounty in Strawberry, since my favorite hunting at hte moment is just north of Lake Owanjila (sp?). I hunt and rob lonely people out in my hunting areas for cash. Before the gold bar i got yesterday i had just under 1500 cash. I think I had in the neighborhood of 1800 after the 100 profit of the gold bar and hunting/robbing last night before i shut down the game for bed. train robbing gets you big bounties on your head, but last one i robbed got me just over 200 in cash and valuables pretty quickly. Going to try robbing stores tonight after work, see what i can score there, and how big of bounty i get Edited November 12, 2018 by Kormath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykout Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I don't know if it's just me or not, but I never felt I needed to 'go out and make money.' This game just doesn't have expensive things that require me to grind money outside of a few treasure maps I hunted down... I even bought 4 horses from stables and still don't have money problems. I have paid plenty of bounties as well and still have plenty of money. What is everyone buying with all this money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
