Complete An Honest Day's Labors in Red Dead Redemption 2

AntMag.NET

Alright, partner, let's tackle 'An Honest Day's Labors.' This one can be a bit of a wild ride, especially if you're aiming for that shiny Gold Medal. Before you even head out, make sure you're stocked up on tonics and ammo in Blackwater. You'll be meeting Sadie in the saloon, and she's got a bounty hunting job for you.

Walkthrough

1
You'll start by riding out with Sadie. When you reach a viewpoint overlooking Armadillo, pull out your Binoculars and keep an eye on the men riding out.
2
Follow them on horseback until you reach a canyon. Dismount and make sure your loadout is ready – a good rifle is a must here. When given the choice, pick the option to shoot the gang. To get the Gold Medal, you'll need to be quick, so let's get to it!
3
The mission kicks off with a shootout against waves of Langton's men. For the Gold Medal, you'll need to maintain at least 70% accuracy and keep moving to reach Shane Finley within 5 minutes. Start strong by using Dead Eye to take out as many enemies at the bottom of the canyon as possible.
4
After clearing the first group, follow Sadie down the path, taking out any remaining men. Keep an eye out for snipers on the cliff edge – they're your top priority, or you'll be downed fast. If you have Snake Oils, now's the time to use them to extend your Dead Eye. Don't linger in cover unless you absolutely have to; every second counts for that 5-minute Gold Medal window.
5
Once you've secured Finley and stowed him on your horse, another group of horseback enemies will attack. Deal with them quickly, then mount up.
6
Now you have plenty of time to escape. Stick close to Sadie and make sure to eliminate every last enemy in the canyon to snag that Gold Medal. Your radar will be super helpful here for spotting incoming threats. Use Dead Eye again for targets on the bridge and cliff edges. The final group will come from the left near the exit. Switching to a shotgun for them is a good move. Once they're down, ride out of the canyon.
7
With the immediate danger passed, just ride back to Blackwater with Sadie and put Finley in a cell to complete the mission.
