Rockstar Game Tips: Red Dead Redemption's Free Roam Challenges Part 2 (Outlaw)

Posted on June 24 2010, 10:57am | Author: R* Y | Filed Under: Games, Social Club

The five Free Roam Challenges in Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer are one of many ways for you and your friends to gain experience and new titles for your online characters.  Last week, we covered both Hunter and Sharpshooter challenges - this time, we'll be going through the Outlaw challenges.

To view Free Roam Challenges in the game, enter multiplayer.  Pause the game, choose 'Journal' and then 'Free Roam'.

  • Outlaw I - Public Enemy
    • Become Most Wanted and earn 250 XP and the title Outlaw.
      • Tip: Get a bounty of more than $1000 to become a Public Enemy and become 'Most Wanted'.
       
    • Become Most Wanted ten times and earn 250 XP and the title On The Run.
      • Tip: An example of a safe place with plenty of cover is the third floor of the El Alcalde De Chuparosa building in Chuparosa.  Use the ladder in the east room of the second floor to gain access, and watch that ladder closely for Law Men.
       
    • Become Most Wanted 50 times and earn 250 XP and the title Career Criminal.
      • Tip: Another example of a place in the game with great cover is behind the counter of Nathaniel Johnston's General Practice Physician's building in Armadillo.  But be careful as other players might try to light your character on fire by shooting at the lantern hanging from the ceiling...
     
  • Outlaw I - Bounty
    • Gain a bounty of $500 and earn 250 XP and the title Bandito.
      • Tip: Shoot and kill enough Law Men to get your bounty over $500.  Take cover.
       
    • Gain a bounty of $1000 and earn 250 XP and the title Renegade.
      • Tip: A bounty of $1000 will make you a Public Enemy.  Take positions in a building with your posse and stay alive at all costs.
       
    • Gain a bounty of $5000 and earn 250 XP and the title Enemy of the State.
      • Tip: The Law Men will do everything they can to take you down.  Stay near a town to ensure that more and more Law Men keep coming as you shoot them down.
     
  • Outlaw I - Survival
    • Stay alive for three minutes with a posse after you and earn 250 XP and the title Running Man.
      • Tip: Don't ever run out into an open area with Law Men after you unless you are sure you have sufficient cover from the rest of your posse.
       
    • Stay alive for five minutes with a posse after you and earn 250 XP and the title Fleeing Felon.
      • Tip: If you want to find a stagecoach and get up to six of your posse rolling, wait along roads or look in towns.  Just be sure whoever is steering has mad skills.
       
    • Stay alive for seven minutes with a posse after you and earn 250 XP and the title Maniac Militia Member.
      • Tip: Be sure you've got plenty of ammunition and good weapons before going for this one.  For example, get the Mauser Pistol from inside the west building in Twin Rocks.
     
  • Outlaw II - Outlaw Gang
    • Form a posse of two or more.  All posse members must gain a bounty of at least $1000 to earn 250 XP and the title Mild Bunch.
      • Tip: Another good spot for your posse to take cover and fire at Law Men is on top of the Foreman's Office in MacFarlane's Ranch.  Have one of your posse members keep an eye on the staircase for incoming Law Men.
       
    • Form a posse of two or more.  All posse members must gain a bounty of at least $2500 to earn 250 XP and the title Motley Crew.
      • Tip: It's always good to appoint a leader to give orders when fighting off Law Men to complete challenges.
       
    • Form a posse of two or more.  All posse members must gain a bounty of at least $7500 to earn 250 XP and the title Wild Bunch.
      • Tip: Posse up and stick together.  Everyone needs to work together to get through this challenge..
     
  • Outlaw II - Public Enemy Killer
    • Kill a Public Enemy player and earn 250 XP and the title Deputy.
      • Tip: When you hear the announcement that a player in your Free Roam has become a Public Enemy, a skull will appear on your radar.
       
    • Kill five Public Enemy players and earn 250 XP and the title Sheriff.
      • Tip: Any player that's gained a bounty of more than $1000 will want to stay alive at all costs, so use clever tactics when approaching.  If the Public Enemy is inside a building, see if you can snipe him through a window from a distance or kill him with dynamite.
       
    • Kill 25 Public Enemy players and earn 250 XP and the title Law Dog.
      • Tip: Observe how the Public Enemy is killing Law Men, and be sure to use a different tactic.  Be careful to not trample a dog or shoot a horse as this will give you a bounty and make it more difficult for you to take down the Public Enemy.
     
  • Outlaw II - Public Enemy Kill Streak
    • Get a kill streak of three while being a Public Enemy and earn 250 XP and the title Yellowbelly.
      • Tip: Gain a $1000 bounty and find a spot where you can take down Law Men and also use a rifle at long range to take down incoming players.
       
    • Get a kill streak of five while being a Public Enemy and earn 250 XP and the title Remorseless.
      • Tip: Always regenerate your health using cover.  If a posse of players is coming after you, pull out the Mauser Pistol you obtained from Twin Rocks and fire away at a rapid rate.
       
    • Get a kill streak of seven while being a Public Enemy and earn 250 XP and the title Public Enemy #1.
      • Tip: You've made it to a kill streak of five.  All you need to do now is get two more kills.  Reload your weapons, keep knocking down Law Men and watch the blips on your radar.  Patience is key.  Wait for that perfect moment.
       
    • Kill a Most Wanted player while you are Most Wanted and earn 250 XP and the title The Coward.
      • Tip: Easiest way to do this is to find a player that's already Most Wanted.  Keep your space from the player.  Start taking down Law Men and become Most Wanted.  Then rush for the player and show your skills.

And if you have any additional tips to share on how best to complete the Free Roam Challenges, let everyone know in the comments.  Stay tuned for more of our Free Roam Challenges tips series in the coming weeks.

    Outlaw II level 3 getting a bounty 0f $7500 of each possie member is one of the hardest to get, but i found a samll glitch. Just get your bounty up to at least $7500.00 (easiest is at rathsekler fort on the roof facing the closet entrance) once your at a bounty of $7500.00 just ask any player to join your possie and as soon as they join it you get the title. Way easier then depending on someone else to get to that level of most wanted aswell.

          How do you unlock the challenges such as Outlaw II? They don't come up in my journal
          • rasellersjron July 23 2010, 12:05pmReply
            Also, we did it during a private multiplayer, that way we didn't have to contend with other players interfering.
            • rasellersjron July 23 2010, 12:00pmReply
              I didn't think to get on a building, but what worked for me was getting a stagecoach and ride shotgun through the squares of Blackwater and shoot everything that moves. ***YOUR DRIVER SHOULD TRY NOT TO GET A BOUNTY*** It makes it hard if he is getting shot and leaving you to fend for yourself. You also get a bunch of "Guardian Angels" for watching the back of your driver. Make sure you go to an ammo camp and fill to the max first!

                                Is it possible to do something about the basement area of the mansion in Escalera where some unscrupulous players are going to get bounties on their heads without there being a chance of other players collecting the bounty? It ruins a lot of these challenges.

                                Couldnt you fill it with water or something so even if they do glitch there way in they end up dying a loser's death?

                                AMAZING GAME BY THE WAY! It's my game of the year for sure :)

                                  I like to get on the roof of the building across the train station in Blackwater. I've had the most success there when trying to get a huge bounty. I normally shot and kill for a while and wait for my wanted level to go down. After it goes down i go and collect the weapons from the dead cops. They drop High Power Pistols and Bolt Action Rifles. Those help when other players are after you.

                                    a good space to gain bounty too is the fort el presidio

                                      Polyphemos-- The challenges give you something to do? I do them for fun and titles.

                                      I love this game! My disk somehow got scratched and EB Games won't take it back 'cause my mom shreaded the receipt though... Which means I completely miss out on the new Co-Op missions =( I'm working on getting another disk though!! I hope we can see more Red Dead games or even some more solo missions with Jack =) Keep up the great work Rockstar, Some of the greatest games of today!
