BurbonChaser Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Gang hideout missions are not worth doing as they stand as treasure maps are almost non-existent. As an alternative, R* should allow the selling of gang member weapons, horses and saddles. What does everyone think?
Vaderspupil Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 At least it's decent XP with 150 for clearing plus the XP you get for the kills. But yeah, their loot does suck. Treasure maps are rare as are the jewelry items they drop that can be sold to a fence.
cadashka Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 I am enjoying them and some are even challenging. It's fun to do, a change from running missions and you can even boost honor with it, when not shooting their boss. My favorites are: The Loft, Shady Bell and Bacchus Station.

Matter of opinion I suppose but my friends and I enjoy doing them and (as mentioned) you get decent XP from them just like ambushes. ....150 XP for clearing and then the XP for the kills. They also drop other loot like ammo, tonics, etc. which helps. I never do them expecting I'll get rich. I have had treasure maps populate with some of the dead though so it's always worth looting since those (although rare) can be very rewarding.

I've become really effective with the Long Block rifle so I like to find high ground whenever possible providing overwatch for my mates. .....lots of fun.
YodaMan 3D Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 It's funny, sense playing I have collected 3 out of 6 treasure maps from gang hideouts. Talking with a friend and his response was that was phenomenal. Now I can't get one to save my life. Probably won't ever see one again.
Mark4407 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Done at least 2 dozen gang hideouts not had one map although our posse did several last night and 2 members found maps Edited January 10, 2019 by Mark4407
Guest Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Hi I enjoy them maybe have a bit more loot, and have the option of filling a wagon up with guns and gear maybe a idea
Vaderspupil Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 One thing that has bugged me is that there are some hideout locations where if the gang leader is far enough away from the rest of the gang members, then the corpses will despawn by the time you go over to loot the leader and then back up to the main camp. So, you have to loot bodies before you have it completely cleared.
BurbonChaser Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 I guess I should have clarified that it was from a monetary standpoint, I do enjoy clearing them and I wil admit I don't pay much attention to xp. It's just that we need other ways to earn money besides having to kill every single animal in the game.

KylesDad7 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 My first three I got a map from each one. The last 6 or so, nothing.
BurbonChaser Posted January 9, 2019 Author Posted January 9, 2019 The only map I have gotten so far was from an ambush. Those are fun and can be brutal at times.

I've found so many maps now from hide outs.. that when I go a few days without finding one. I think my lucky streak is over. One of my friend has never found one map. And he hates me.

Harlock1796 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 The only time I ever got a map was a time when I let the leader go, but just as he was leaving he said something I took offence at, so I shot him. I looted the body and found a map. Of course, I decided that this approach must increase your chance of finding a map. It goes without saying I have never got another one like this, it was sheer coincidence.
BurbonChaser Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 Most hideouts I have come across these last 2 days have been glitched, enemy dots not showing, leader does not stop attacking and hideout does not clear so you loose on the xp for clearing it.
DiscoHobbit666 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I've cleared a few hideouts & the ratio Treasure maps to cleared Hideouts ain't good, but like cadashka I like the challenge of clearing some of the Hideouts. As a bonus, I have had 4 pamphlets too, they are worth over $400 each, so can be worth the effort.( not spurred many leaders). As for the glitches, R* told me to power down my Xbox via controller, disconnect power cord & wait 20 seconds & the reconnect & power on console( it's meant to clear your cache, so they say. It might help some of you , who are experiencing those issues & more in-game glitches & bugs. Edited January 15, 2019 by DiscoHobbit666

This should be by holding in the power button on your Xbox One until it shuts down . after that, by disconnecting the power cord & wait 20 seconds. Power on your Xbox ( doesn't matter if this is by controller, console power button or audio command),. Sorry for my error, hope it helps anyone with glitches or issues, by clearing your temporary cache.
Vaderspupil Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Got 2 treasure maps from gang hideouts lat night and got over $200 from them. Helped me pay for the last camp tent upgrade.😀 1

BropolloCreed79 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I'm in the exact opposite camp. In fact, I get frustrated when they don't spawn--a target-rich environment to rack up XP and loot? I'll take that over driving a stagecoach and getting attacked by randos any day of the week. 1

You have to be familiar with the spawn locations and hop around the map to them hoping that 4 of them will spawn within one in game day. Clearing them out is the easy part when they do spawn.

Or, you can totally cheat with this: https://rdr2map.com/ The beauty is, you can sort by category to change the overlay. It's been a lifesaver. Granted, you still have to deal with the randomness of them actually spawning, but at least you can plot a course to give yourself as much of a chance as possible by hitting up as many as efficiently possible in an "in game day" 1
Nomad Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 I have got a bunch of treasure maps from gang hideouts. Plus the XP like others said was worth it anyways.

I read somewhere that keeping a 3* animal on your horse makes them spawn, I tried it out recently since none were spawning for me. I got 3 hideouts last night along with 2 ambushes and got 2 maps out of it. I'm going to try again the weekend, to see if it's legit or if last night was a fluke. 1 1

There might be something to that since I always seem to have one on the back of my when it spawns. Hasn't seemed to help with map spawns though.

I had a couple of *** turkeys strapped to my saddle last night, and two hideouts spawned in rapid succession. My horse (reverse dapple Nokota) has a tendency to wander off so far in a firefight that she fast travels when I whistle, so I had to clear both without getting out of the saddle, except to deal with the leader. She's fine once the bullets stop flying. Not that 2 turkeys are enough to retire on, but I didn't want to lose them.
