"Gold Rush" ACHIEVEMENT
By Strzelec® and 1 collaborators
One of the achievements in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the GOLD RUSH. To unlock it, it is required to get a minimum of 70 gold medals for completing the missions. This is one of the most time-consuming and frustrating achievements. It may be necessary to repeat one mission several times.
In order to receive a gold medal, it is necessary to complete all the specified tasks during the mission. Unfortunately, we learn about these tasks only after completing a given mission. The following guide contains a list of all missions grouped by chapters with tasks, that must be completed in order to receive the coveted gold.

ATTENTION!!
The guide contains plot spoilers. I highly recommend completing the game on your own first!

Summary
As you can see, the list of tasks is very long. I won't choose the easiest ones, because many of them have very similar requirements: shoot with a certain accuracy, reach the target within a certain time, do not use remedies. It may also happen that you will be lucky and in a very difficult mission you will complete all the tasks, while the simplest will take a long time. However, I definitely think that it is worth spending a few (hundreds) hours, if only to be among the elite group of players who managed to get them :)

Ya, it is possible. I guess it is some way to raise the difficulty level
awolJAK 22 Dec, 2022 @ 7:27pm 
Do you think it's better to get gold when your first playing through? I noticed when I replay missions, I dont have the same gear / horse ect that i had when i played through it, oftem theyre worse. It looks like its based on what items they expect you to have at any given time, but that may not be the best gear to get gold.
