Apparently there is also a bit of a glitch with this trophy, say you get 500 kills with that browning machine gun the trophy wont actually unlock, if you then go find a gatling gun (one at the mexican fort) and get one kill with it the trophy will the unlock, not sure whats going on there but its been confirmed by a few people.

Shoot it once in the head with the springfield rifle, use the lasso on it to stun it for a few seconds, run into it and knife it once and it will die (hopefully)
Getting a 5000$ bounty is not an easy achievement. I just cleared out Armadillo, Mcfarlane's Ranch, the small station near thieve's landing AND all of Blackwater.... 2331$ bounty so far. Gonna resupply on medkits and go from there. :lol My honor went from one end of the scale to the other too, I have "the dark horse" now.

Can't get spoiler tags to work, will just say I'm glad I kept a save right before the end. While it's neat, I just don't care for *blank*.

Cracking the Safe's in armadillo's bank increases your bounty quite a bit.

If you want to be cheap about it ($5000 bounty really does take a lot of work without dying), just camp out on the roof of the Armadillo saloon. Be sure to bring a lot of ammo.

can someone explain something to me?
When I try to take someone down "alive" with hand-to-hand combat, I get them to the point where they are laying on the ground, yelling at me. Nothing happens... I can't tackle them anymore or attack them. Then they regenerate health and stand back up and start shooting at me again. Repeat.
I took one guy down by tackling him, and it said to collect my bounty. Before I could leave, he got up and started shooting at me. So I had to shoot him, and lost honor for it.
WTF this is so frustrating

Anyway, quick question... went into Thieve's Landing tonight to continue on with the missions - just outside the saloon about a dozen people start shooting me and I die instantly... went back and same thing happened! How do I get to the fella to do his mission?
It's because your honor is too high. Grab the Bandanna (from the shop in Thieves Landing - you can sneak around and get to him if you keep getting shot) and they won't attack. Remember to take it off also as you don't gain honor/fame while wearing it and doing other stuff.
EDIT: REGARDING AMAZON - I finally got an email back from them
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive $20 gift card for purchasing Red Dead Redemption.Some of our promotions are restricted to one claim code per customer, and some require a minimum purchase. You'll receive only one $20 gift certificate.
I checked your records and redeemed the $20 gift card in to your account.
The current balance on your gift card is $20.00. If you don't see the gift card funds in the order cost summary when you place your next order, make sure the radio button is selected under the words "You have $20.00 in gift cards or promotional credit available for use toward this purchase. Would you like to apply it?"
So purchasing 2 of them did nothing for the second and still no word about the Pre-Order bonus whatsoever. I love Amazon and I fucking despise them at times also.

Uhh... are you trying to just beat up bounties? You either have to hogtie them and deliver them to jail, or kill them and deliver proof of their demise you loot off their corpse.

Currently riding around on a roof of a train, bringing death to wherever it stops. Up to 4k, love how your bounty disappears as long as you're in Thieve's Landing.

OK so how do you hog tie them and deliver them to jail? I can subdue them, but there are no contextual commands for hog tying or delivering to jail...HadesGigas said:
The manual (lol) says that "criminals can be taken in dead or alive" and nothing else...

Have you gotten the lasso yet? You can't take bounties in alive until you have it.

I fucking HATE that game. I swear sometimes looking at the screen does mess you up. Somehow though I was in the zone and actually beat the champ. It felt weird like I went out of my body and my fingers just took over. After beating it I wanted to do a serious fist pump.

No, I haven't done a lasso quest yet. I did a few bonnie quests, then a few marshall quests, and a couple bounties.Seraphis Cain said:

Heh, nice touch. I'm killing people to get the bounty achievement, as Jack. He yells stuff like "You're the real bad guys!" and "The law killed my father!"

Just started playing RDR. Already taking a liking to John Marston.
But I'm having some major pop-up issues so far. Haven't heard many complaints about it so I was wondering if it might be because I am playing on an arcade unit? Would not having a hard-drive effect such a thing?

Brick building in Blackwater directly across from the train station has a ladder on the side facing the station. Climb the ladder. Stand on the lower level until it you need to go to the top to avoid gunfire, you will figure that out for yourself. Then climb to the top level and stand directly in front of the ladder on the top of the three small steps at the top of the ladder. You can stand here and swing the camera back and forth between looking towards the train station and looking towards the park in front of city hall. Every time you swing back to each area more civilians will be spawn endlessly. Every once in a while a group of cops will show up and let you gain a bit more bounty quickly.
This system works perfectly. Once you are at $5000. Step back to the middle of the roof and squat down. Wait until your wanted meter is gone. Run across the street and pay off your bounty.
Achievement unlocked.

hmm. I wonder. I didn't experience much pop-up all through the game (60 gig Pro). The only thing I ever noticed was texture detail. And I never installed it to my drive either.

A few of the achievements are glitched.
I did the Dastardly one today and didn't get anything.

Did you make sure to put a woman on the tracks? It has to be a woman, not a man.
Also the train actually has to run them over, and you have to see it happen.
(I'm sure this is all obvious, just covering all the possible reasons that you didn't get it.)

Yes and yes.
It was a woman from the "fake stranded carriage" random event. I robbed her, lassoed her, and traveled across the map to get her in front of a train. Laid her down vertically on the tracks so no part of her was off of them and set there and watched her explode.
Nada.

It sucked and I was disappointed, but I wasn't surprised. It seems like this game wasn't bug tested very well at all.
ShockingAlberto said:
The only glitch I ever saw was one where a couple of passengers floated in the sky after the train left the station. I have put in over 40 hours into the game. Got 100% in the single player game. Time well spent. I guess some of us are just lucky.
Or maybe it's redemption for the two times I got the "purple nines" glitch in GTA3. I put in almost 200 hours into that game to finally get the 100% because of that glitch.

I went with clearing out the cops city by city, eventually getting on a train for easier travel. Took a while, especially because I killed the train operator towards the end bringing the whole thing to a halt, but it's more fun than camping in one spot.

Agreed. But I had a really good time doing the Riding a White Bronco South achievement. So it's all good.
And honestly it was kinda funny watching the target practice NPCs looking a pile of their cloned dead bodies while I took their heads off. One the train station side I had a pile of men in grey suits. And on the city hall park side I had a pile of guys in white shirts and suspenders. The funniest part is when I went down to pay my bounty off I was kicking hats all over the place because the street was full of them.

Can someone explain how you're supposed aim while you're riding a horse? Am I just doing something wrong or is this meant to basically be impossible because you can't simultaneously use the right stick and hold down the A button?
ShockingAlberto

I think horses follow the path while you're aiming, but they don't know what to do at forks, so they choose a path on their own.unagisensei said:
They don't, however, maintain speed while aiming.

This happened to me too. You have to take an innocent. The women from the carriage ambush show up as a red dot/enemy so I don't think you can get the achievement that way.
Concerning the Treasure Hunter Outfit...
For Scrap 4: Claim a Treasure Hunter bounty alive. How exactly do I differentiate between a Treasure Hunter bounty and a non-Treasure Hunter bounty? A guide says that to have unlocked the scrap checklist for the outfit I had to kill a Treasure Hunter, but I can't even begin to recall when this could have been. Could someone offer a quick explanation? Thanks in advance.

Treasure Hunters are like Walton Gang or Banditos, they are a specific group. You can find the bounty for this, when it appears, from the same place it asks you to win at blackjack.

I thought he was Death or something in that arena. He keeps talking about Marsten's morals and how many men he's killed. I like the Marsten's conscience thing, but he knew things about people Marsten didn't know.
Wait a minute...ShockingAlberto said:
Arena? I guess I haven't completed it, then. I last saw him in Great Plains and Marston tried to shoot him.
