Are you a die-hard fan of Red Dead Redemption 2, eager to unlock every achievement and master every aspect of the game? Then you've probably set your sights on the coveted Platinum Trophy, which requires you to earn all 70 gold medals. It's no small feat, but with our comprehensive guide, you'll be well on your way to becoming a true outlaw legend in the wilds of RDR2.
First things first: you'll need patience, practice, and a keen eye for detail. Many gold medals require perfect timing, strategic play, and careful attention to mission objectives. So, saddle up, grab your six-shooter, and let's dive into our RDR2 70 gold medals guide. By the end, you'll be DOMINATING the American heartland like a seasoned gunslinger.
Mastering the Basics: Handling and Shooting
Before you tackle the gold medals, it's crucial to master RDR2's handling and shooting mechanics. Familiarize yourself with the cover system, aim assist, and weapon switching. The better you handle your horse and weapons, the easier it will be to snag those elusive gold medals.
Protip: Head to the 'Free Roam' menu and test your skills at the various mini-games. The 'Shooting Range' is particularly helpful for honing your precision and timing. Practice makes perfect, so spend some time here before attempting the gold medal missions.
Perfect Aim
Earning a gold medal often requires you to hit 'Perfect' on your shots. To achieve this, aim for the head or the body's vital areas. Leading your target and anticipating their movement will significantly improve your chances of scoring a 'Perfect' shot.
Protip: Use the 'Eagle Eye' ability, unlocked at 'Relaxed' Honor, to see where vital areas are outlines. This makes it easier to target those 'Perfect' zones.
Dead Eye
'Dead Eye' is another essential skill to master. Use it to slow down time, make precision shots, and take down multiple enemies at once. Upgrade your 'Dead Eye' by completing challenges and reaching higher levels to increase its duration.
Protip: Remember, 'Dead Eye' isn't just for shootouts. Use it to mark targets, spot hidden enemies, or even slow time to catch a jump. Combining 'Dead Eye' with 'Focus' and 'Agent' modes can create some truly impressive (and profitable) moments).
Gold Medal Missions: Preparation and Execution
Each gold medal mission has unique requirements, but many share similarities. Here are some general tips to help you prepare and execute these challenging tasks:
Protip: Before starting, gather high-quality weapons, as much ammo as you can carry, and shiny, low-weight firearms for any required vehicle missions. Also, consider wearing clothing that boosts your 'Focus' and 'Agent' modes, such as the 'Owanjila Bandana' and 'White Hatter'.
Prepare Your Style Swap
RDR2's 'Style Swap' feature allows you to change Arthur's appearance and inventory instantly. Take advantage of this by creating 'setups' – different outfits with specific weapons, provisions, and trinkets designed to help you breeze through missions.

Protip: Create 'setups' for quick travel or when switching between main and side missions. For example, you might have a 'Gold Medal Mission' setup with all your best gear, or a 'Bounty Hunting' setup with your favorite tracking weapons.
Practice and Revisit Missions
Many gold medals can't be earned on the first try. Don't get discouraged if you fail; instead, use these attempts to learn the mission's layouts, enemy placements, and best routes to take. Take notes on what worked and what didn't, then revisit the mission with your new knowledge.
Protip: Use 'Cheaper, Faster Travel' trinkets to reduce travel costs and practice runs. Also, save your game often in the mission to reload if you make a crucial mistake.
