How to Rob a Bank in "Red Dead Redemption"

• Answer:

  The open-world setting of Rockstar's "Red Dead Redemption" allows you to interact with the inhabitants of the environment in a variety of ways. Your character can play or rob poker games and even assist or murder non-player characters. There are a number of factors to consider when robbing a bank. Doing it correctly can result in a nice payout. A wild and reckless attempt will likely result in you being pursued and gunned down by the law. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Things You'll Need Bandana, optional Instructions Put on your bandana, if you don't want your actions to affect your overall honor rating. A negative honor rating can result in repercussions down the line, so it's advisable to wear your bandana. Approach the bank at night, when there are fewer potential witnesses and lawmen around. If the front door is locked, look for a side window that you can smash by taking cover below it and then pressing the fire button. Vault through the window by pressing jump and remain in a crouched position so as not to attract the attention of any bystanders. If you do alert a witness, run over to him and bribe him as soon as possible. You can kill him if you wish, but as he's likely to be standing outside the bank, this will probably lead to more witnesses. Proceed to the safe in the back room of the bank and select it to begin the safecracking mini-game. Rotate the barrel to the right until your controller vibrates and the pin clicks into place. As soon as the pin drops, rotate the barrel back in the opposite direction until the next pin drops. Finally, rotate to the right again until the final pin slots into place. This can be tricky; the idea is not to move the barrel any further once the pin drops. Continuing to move the barrel once the pin falls will fail the mini-game and require you to start again. Collect the money from the safe when the door opens and repeat the process with any others. Some of the banks have up to three separate safes. Escape through the back door if possible, as there will likely be fewer witnesses at the rear of the building. Leave the area as fast as possible to disassociate yourself from the crime.
