Things to Do After Beating Red Dead Redemption 2 (End Game)
Gold Medal the Story Missions
Getting all of the gold medals for every mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t needed to just simply beat the game, but it’s a certainly something you can take on in the end game to give you some added replay value. You know, just in case you didn’t have enough to do already.
The gold medals are mostly all about accuracy and speed. You’re not only going to need to speed-run these missions, as that is a basic requirement for every mission. However, for anything requiring combat, you’re going to need to also shoot your weapon of choice with high accuracy, and/or get a certain amount of headshots.
In addition to that, some missions have special requirements unique to that particular mission. For example, a stealth mission gold medal may require you to not be spotted. Or, an ally gets into some scripted trouble, you’ll have to help him/her in a certain amount of time. Stuff like that.
You can check the status of your gold medals by entering the main menu, going to progress, then story, and then select the chapter you want to view the missions for. From there, you can see every medal you have, see what you still need to get for a gold medal, and then restart the mission. You won’t lose any progress if you’re not done with the game, so don’t worry.
