How to Get Unlimited Gold Bars in Red Dead Redemption 2 (Glitch)

Recommended Videos

In an open-world game such as Red Dead Redemption 2, glitches, exploits and the like are to be expected. You can look forward to glitch-free gaming in 3018. Players have already discovered how to get unlimited gold bars in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Glitching and cheating isn’t for everyone. In all honesty, getting money isn’t that hard to come by anyway, nor is it incredible crucial to anything in the game. If you’d like some tips on how to get money fast without glitches, we’ve got you covered.

Still, despite there being plenty of glitch-free ways to get money, you’re here because you want to know the glitch, so let’s jump into that.

Credit goes to Reddit users sm1ttysm1t, hoedoor101001110, and MagnusTS, for discovering two different ways to dupe gold bars. Here, we’re going to focus on MagnusTS’/hoedoor’s combined method. Here’s what you need to do.

First things first, turn off autosave. Having it on will cause the glitch to fail. To turn off autosave, go to the main menu, and then go to settings. From there, go to general, and the first option there is Autosave On/Off. Go ahead and change that since the default is on.

Then, go to the burned downtown towards the end of the Dakota River. If you look on your map for Horseshoe Overlook, you’ll see a group of buildings on your map southwest of it. That’s where you want to go.

There’s a burned down sheriff office there, and in that building, a lockbox containing a Gold Bar and a Note. Open it, but don’t loot it right away. You want to stand over it so taking Gold Ore is what appears in the bottom right of the screen, but still don’t take it quite yet.

Now, save your game and then load the save you just made. If you return to the lockbox and grab the Gold Ores, you should be able to loot it up to the max of 30. Sell them, and rinse and repeat. Just make sure to close the lockbox, and then open it before repeating the steps.

That does it for how to get unlimited Gold Bars in Red Dead Redemption 2. While I’m a chump and I’ll be earning money the hard way, you now have the option to take a shortcut, if you want.
