Unlock Hidden Riches: Top 4 Stores to Rob in RDR2!

by

In the vast landscapes of Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur Morgan’s infamous reputation means that the stores he visits in various states hold more than just their apparent worth. Among the numerous locations in the game, there are four hidden side businesses that players can choose to rob, each offering a distinct and unpredictable experience. These experiences can range from encounters with other gangs, brushes with the law, or even bizarre, unexpected events.

In the game “Red Dead Redemption 2,” while stealing from stores might seem like an easy way to make money, it’s dishonest. However, there are other profitable ventures in the game that yield more income than what you initially grab from the cash register. So, put on your bandana and grab your revolver, it’s time to demonstrate to these stores why Arthur is no ordinary man.

4. The Doctor’s Office of Valentine

Rob the O’Driscolls of their Money Laundering Operation

  • Location: Valentine, New Hanover – the building between the Sheriff’s Office and the Saloon.
  • Reward: $70+, Schofield Revolver

In Valentine’s main area, you’ll find the Doctor’s Office nestled between the hair salon and the Sheriff’s Office. Should you choose to investigate the rear of this building, you’ll come across a secure metal door, guarded by an O’Driscoll. This presents just the opportunity Arthur requires to enter, aim his gun at the Doctor, and carry out a robbery – targeting both the cash register up front and the hidden business in the backroom.

Among the riskier ventures for burglary, this one stands out. The O’Driscolls within are likely to be hostile, and even the seemingly harmless woman could prove otherwise. To make matters worse, the safe needs to be explosively breached, which in turn triggers quite a fuss outside, drawing the sheriff and his deputies to the Doctor’s Office.

3. The General Store of Strawberry

Rob An Illicit Moonshine Distillery at the General Store

  • Location: Strawberry, West Elizabeth – inside the General Store
  • Reward: $50+

At the rear of the General Store, there’s a hidden peekhole where players can catch a glimpse of an illicit moonshine distillery tucked away in the cellar. If players proceed to the General Store and prepare their weapons, they have the option to attempt a robbery on the store owner. Should they succeed, he will lead them down into the basement, handing over his ill-gotten gains which will now belong to Arthur.

It’s tough not to have a bit of compassion for the store owner, considering his visible prosthetic leg. However, Arthur being an outlaw, he likely isn’t concerned about such matters and is only focused on money, particularly when it can be quickly hidden within this illicit operation. This side business is an easy target for robbery as the proprietor prefers to avoid law enforcement due to the distillery’s illegal status, resulting in less honor but more wealth for Arthur.

2. The Gunsmith of Rhodes

Free an Innocent Captive to Loot Cash and Ammo in Abundance

  • Location: Rhodes, Lemoyne – inside the Gunsmith.
  • Reward: $50+, Lancaster Repeater

Exploring Rhodes might give you a nerve-wracking sensation because of the menacing Lemoyne Raiders, the indifferent townsfolk, and the Grays family who are constantly observing Arthur. What adds to the peculiarity is a hidden basement on the side of the Gunsmith’s shop where a teenage boy dressed like a sailor appears to be imprisoned and pleading for aid.

Arthur has the freedom to burglarize the Gunsmith’s shop gradually, compelling him to unlock the basement. Inside, players can rescue the captive for some respect, also listening to the Gunsmith’s emotional account of losing his son in a gun mishap. Emotional anecdote aside, Arthur can plunder the area for essential ammunition, cash, and a locked box, as well as a complimentary Lancaster Repeater, which players should possess by this point in the game.

1. The Gunsmith of Saint Denis

  • Location: Saint Denis, Lemoyne – in the Gunsmith found in the east district.
  • Reward: $70+

In the seemingly ordinary Gunsmith shop of Saint Denis, one might assume it’s just a place to buy weapons. However, there’s something shady hidden behind the metal door at the back. Players can uncover this illicit activity either by stumbling upon it themselves or receiving a tip from a beggar after donating 25 cents. Regardless of the method, it appears that this establishment is involved in some underhanded dealings. But breaking into it through the front door wouldn’t be wise given the city’s heavy law enforcement presence.

Direct your weapon towards the Gunsmith, making him unlock the heavy iron door. It’s now essential to intimidate the guard, ensuring he stays silent and allows Arthur to ascend peacefully, avoiding any unwanted attention from the authorities. By following these steps, players can proceed upstairs, intimidating the poker players to seize the cash on the table, demanding their personal valuables, and compelling one of them to open the safe for additional gains, all without triggering a police response.
