Follow this guide to complete 'The Wheel' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 as John Marston. Learn how to deliver supplies and reclaim a stolen wagon for an easy Gold Medal.
Alright, so after all that drama with Arthur, we're jumping forward a few years. You're now playing as John Marston, and the goal is to try and build a peaceful life with Abigail and young Jack. This first mission, 'The Wheel,' is pretty chill and acts as a nice intro to John's story. It's also a great chance to snag a Gold Medal without breaking a sweat, as long as you don't get too wild with the wagon.
Gold Medal Checklist:
- Reach Pronghorn Ranch without dropping any supplies
- Reclaim the wagon within 1 minute
Your first order of business is to drive the wagon into Strawberry. Don't stress about speed here; there's no time limit, so just take your time and enjoy the ride. Once you get to town, pull up right outside the general store and head on in. After you sort out a delivery job for yourself, make your way over to the doctor's office to check on Abigail and Jack. After that, head back to your wagon – you'll find it's been loaded up with supplies for Mr. Geddes.
Now, you need to get these supplies to Pronghorn Ranch, and here's the catch for that Gold Medal: you can't drop any of them. This means no bumping into rocks, trees, or generally driving like a maniac. Seriously, take it slow and stick to the road. The game's not rushing you, so there's no need to risk losing those supplies (or the medal).
Once you finally roll up to Pronghorn Ranch, you'll hop off the wagon and hand over the goods. But, wouldn't you know it, some local troublemakers decide to steal your wagon and make a run for it! This is where the second part of the Gold Medal comes in. Quickly hop on the nearby horse and gallop alongside the wagon. When you're close enough, jump onto it. John's pretty good at this stuff and will automatically toss the outlaws off. Just bring the wagon back to the ranch, and you'll wrap up the mission. Easy peasy!
