Red Dead Redemption 2 Infinite Money Exploit Glitch

Red Dead Redemption 2 has an infinite money exploit / glitch. It allows you to get unlimited money at a rate of $15,000 per 10 minutes. This step-by-step guide explains how to use the infinite money glitch in RDR2:

Working on PS4 & Xbox One with Patch 1.02.

IMPORTANT: This only works if you have not yet bought the “Special Horse Stimulant Pamphlet” from a Fence! It can be done as soon as having reached Chapter 2 and at any later point.

1.  Go to the location in the video – “Limpany”, a burned-down village just a tiny bit north-west of Flatneck Station.
   
2. Make 2-3 Manual Saves (Pause Menu, Story, Save Game). This is just so you can return to a save file without the exploit. Also turn off Autosaves to make this easier (Pause Menu, Settings, General, Autosave Off).
3. Open the lockbox in the burned-down Sheriff building (don’t loot anything from it). There MUST be Letter and Gold Bar inside. If you don’t see the letter it’s because you already bought the horse stimulant pamphlet, then this exploit won’t work for you.
   
   
4. Look at the gold so it shows the words “Gold Bar” in bottom right corner. It’s easier in first-person view. While looking at the gold bar: Save the game, Exit the Game via the Menu, and in Title Screen click Resume Story.
   Pause Menu > Story > Save Game > Click Back > Story > Exit > Title Screen > Continue.
5. You will spawn somewhere nearby. Return to the box. The letter should be gone now. There now is infinite gold bars in the box which are worth a lot of money. Pick up as many as you can carry (30 maximum, each is worth $500 = $15,000 total).
6. Sell the 30 gold bars at a Fence for $15,000. For example, at Emerald Ranch (the nearest one).
   

You can repeat Steps 3-6 as often as you want. $15,000 is enough to last you a full playthrough though. After the story you get another $20,000 and that’s more money than you will ever need. So doing this once should suffice.

If you want to repeat the process, make sure you close and reopen the lockbox to make the letter respawn. Then aim at the gold again, save the game manually, quit out to title screen, continue, ride back to lockbox and pick up 30 gold bars again.

And that my friends is how you can generate infinite money in RDR2. Especially in the early game if you just want to go around and have fun with buying all clothes, weapons and horses, this can save a lot of time. You can also get money-related trophies and achievements out of the way.
