Guide your way through the tense 'Visiting Hours' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2. Learn stealth tactics, headshot strategies, and how to escape the prison with John and Sadie.

Alright, so you've just finished up Icarus and Friends, and now it's time for a real nail-biter: Visiting Hours. This mission kicks off with Sadie waiting for you northwest of Sisika Penitentiary. Just a heads-up, aiming for that Gold Medal here is gonna be tricky. You've got to be quick, accurate, and stealthy. If you're going for gold, you'll want to skip every cutscene you can to make sure you beat that 9-minute completion time.

Gold Medal Checklist:

  • Get headshots on both Prison Guards when sniping from the tower
  • Escape to the boat within 2 minutes 45 seconds
  • Complete within 9 minutes
  • Complete with at least 80% accuracy
  • Complete the mission without taking any health items

Once you and Sadie hit the shore, stay low and make your way towards the guard tower. Take out that guard quietly – you'll find a Rare Rolling Block Rifle on the ground nearby. Grab it, then look over to the right. You'll spot a barn with some prisoners. For the Gold Medal, you absolutely need to land headshots on both guards here. Prioritize the mounted guard first, then the stationary one. You might get a second chance if you miss, but since accuracy is key, try to nail those headshots on the first go.

Quickly scramble down the ladder and catch up with Sadie. You'll find a survivor you can press for info. After a short cutscene, you'll have a hostage. Just keep moving forward, cross the bridge, and head towards the entrance. Your goal here is to pressure the guards into letting John go.

This is where the shooting really starts, and you're on the clock! You've got to make your escape within 2 minutes and 45 seconds, which is seriously tight. Precision is everything, so keep those headshots coming. When the guards start pouring out of the gate, make them your top priority. Keep pace with John and Sadie – whenever they move, you move.

As you reach the end of the bridge, again, focus on the guards on the ground. Taking out enough of them will get John and Sadie moving towards the fields. While you're crossing the fields, more mounted guards will show up. Don't worry about them; just follow John and Sadie to the crates and take cover. Deal with any guards that get too close, but once John and Sadie start moving again, just ignore everyone else, even if Sadie's yelling at you, and follow them straight to the boat.

As you start rowing away from the shore, activate Dead Eye if you can and take out as many of the guards close to the water as possible. There are a lot of them, and you don't want to get picked off. The very last part of this mission is following Sadie back to Beaver Hollow. Just gallop as fast as you can to get John back safely and wrap up the mission.
