Trains in their wildest cowboy dreams from robbing trains across the land to having a drink in a saloon. The game defined what it means to tell an immersive story in the wild west and does what the Grand Theft Auto series did for the genre. Players can participate in the story or go on their own journey, exploring the world and participating in crimes across the land. Here's how players can rob trains in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Trains are what defined this era of time in Red Dead Redemption 2. The game takes place in the Wild West in a fictional take on American landmarks. Trains were the most important method of transportation for this era, transporting engers long distances in a much shorter period of time. This innovation is still used today around the world. In the game, players can rob the engers on the train and make off with plenty of items to sell for cash. Here's the most optimal way to rob a train in Red Dead Redemption 2.
How To Rob A Train in Red Dead Redemption 2
For starters, the player will want to board the train as a normal enger. Beginning this heist as a normal person is essential to avoid any suspicion. Head over the Annesburg and board the train by purchasing a ticket. Make sure to sit in the cart closest to the engine room. Enjoy the scenery of the world for a bit until the train enters a tunnel. Once the train enters the tunnel, shoot the guards, and make your way towards the driver. Kill the driver to stop the train in the tunnel. Now, go around the carts and set explosives around the safes to open them. Collect the loot on the inside and wait until the Wanted status disappears. Once it does, start the train and exit the tunnel. After escaping the tunnel, go around the train robbing the engers, and ride the train until right before reaching Valentine. Exit and ride off into the sunset, richer and unharmed.
The player can then sell what they found in the safes for a high price. Players will need patience to properly pull this off without getting caught. Robbing a train plays very similar to the heist missions in GTA Online, as players are required to be patient in their actions. Red Dead Redemption 2 adds a spin to this genre by placing it during the wild west. Players can also do this as many times as they'd like. This is an excellent way for players to grind for cash in a fun and enjoyable way.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
