Red Dead Redemption 2 Gold Medals Guide

October 25, 2018 by PowerPyx 80 Comments

Red Dead Redemption 2 has 104 Gold Medals from Story Missions. This guide shows how to get the gold medal in every mission of RDR2. For the Gold Rush trophy and achievement you must earn 70 Gold Medals from Story Missions. Since there are 34 more medals available than you need, you can pick and choose which missions are easiest for you.

All missions can be replayed as often as you want! After completing a mission, go to Pause Menu > Progress > Story > Select a Mission. You can also toggle the gold medals checklist there. It will show a checkmark on each completed requirement. After finishing the story it unlocks everything you have missed in your missions log and everything can be replayed (some missions are optional in the story).

In order to get the gold medal you must complete ALL medal requirements in one playthrough of the mission. On replay it resets the requirements you have done previously so you must do them all again. E.g. you completed one objective on your first playthrough and are missing one more objective for gold – then you must do both objectives again on replay. If you only do the missing task it will not give you the gold medal.

It’s worth noting that on replay you have no Tonics and only some preset weapons. Therefore it’s much harder to do these on replay. The easiest option is to make a manual save before each mission during your main playthrough, attempt the gold, and if you failed reload your manual save to try again. This way you can control with what inventory and horse you go into the mission.

While replaying a mission you can check the completed tasks: press :left: to open log > press :x: (PS4) / :a: (XB1) > press :l1: / :lb: to view the Checklist of Gold Medals (this only works on replay, not on first playthrough). On the first playthrough you can’t see the gold medals checklist at all, but you can already complete the tasks if you know them! That’s where the below list comes in handy. Refer to the gold medals checklist below to keep an eye on the requirements.

Be warned, some of these contain spoilers so proceed with caution. To save time and reduce the difficulty it is recommended to do as many as possible on the first playthrough to reduce the number of replays later on.

    Still think adding medals to the missions like in GTA ruins the immersion of the game (like it did in GTA) and takes away the freedom to play however you like (like you could in old Rockstar Games) so you can’t just enjoy the game and have fun completing it.

    “Take no damage”. After take damage, restart checkpoint still valid for gold?

      No.

    • Shiky says

      October 29, 2018 at 10:24 pm

      Sadly the answer is no. And that means you need to finish ALL objectives in a single run AND without dying/reloading checkpoints. Pretty challenging and frustrating, especially comparing with GTA V and RDR 1, where you can replay missions and achieve those objectives in multiple replays.

  3. Lianshi.bu says

    October 26, 2018 at 5:38 pm

    I assume there will be checkpoints during the mission process, can I restart the checkpoints if I happen to fail some of the conditions and still achieve the gold medal?

    Reply
    • Shiky says

      October 29, 2018 at 10:27 pm

      Yes and no. If the objectives involve counting mechanisms like “xx% accuracy” or “xxx headshots”, reloading the checkpoint will directly lead to a failure to these objectives. So, if you missed any of these, the only way is to restart the mission – really frustrating.

  4. Quetschboy says

    October 26, 2018 at 6:40 pm

    Hi Powepyx,
    is there a way to use checkpoints in missions? I mean what if i did a mistake? Do I have to reload the complete mission? Hopefully not…

    Reply
    • Quetschboy says

      October 26, 2018 at 7:43 pm

      Hmmm I guess you cannot load Checkpoints in a mission or du a manual safe before a critical point. This will be extremely annoying because start the Mission from beginning takes ages to get Gold. And this makes this trophy very difficult to achieve. 8 or 9 out of 10 i think.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know what’s up with the “Complete the mission without taking any health items”?

    I just tried 2 missions on replay and on both occasions I didn’t get that objective completed even though I didn’t use any consumables… is it about eating food or drinking booze I.e. healing or about physically holding food items on you? Or is it something else entirely?? Thanks in advance!

      You can’t consume any items that affect your health (the heart symbol) You’re free to use dead eye items such as chewing tobacco. You’re free to loot dead bodies too.

    • Sid says

      November 26, 2018 at 8:43 pm

      I thought about all this… You can’t die ( or fail I’m assuming ) the game gives you a small amount of health when you reload checkpoint… Fail.

  6. Greg says

    October 27, 2018 at 2:14 am

    I am pretty sure a few of these are bugged, I have tried “Enter, Pursued by a Memory” several times and no matter what I do I can’t get the “80% accuracy”. Also can’t get the “take no health items” in Old Friends and I am not consuming anything during the mission, not even Dead Eye items.

      I had the same issue with the first mission. I went through it without missing a shot and taking no damage and it didn’t give me the accuracy checkmark, even though it should’ve been at 100%, well over the 80% needed. Saw blood with every shot I took too, so I know I never missed one.

      Some kind of bug it seems.

    If you don’t get the gold medal the 1st time around but during that 1st run you completed some of the requirements, do you have to complete everything over again or just the requirements that you didn’t get the 1st time and are unchecked to get that gold medal? I’ve been trying to get the gold medal for “who is not without sin.” The 1st run thru i got the win 2 hands of poker requirement but when i get to the bring the reverend back within 2 min 5 seconds part i never achieve it & i know im not taking that long to get back to the camp

      You have to complete everything again on replay.

  8. Joshua says

    October 28, 2018 at 4:28 am

    Are you sure PowerPyx? Is this confirmed? Because I tested it by going back to a mission where I had 1 of 2 tasks completed, went back, ignored the task I had completed and only went for the incomplete task, thu resulting in a gold medal. It’s the same way as GTA V.

    Reply
    • PowerPyx says

      October 28, 2018 at 5:01 am

      You must’ve completed the other task again on your next run.
      It only counts when you do all tasks in the same run. And yes, this is confirmed, I tested this a bunch of times on different missions.

    Hey PowerPyx
    Have you already completed the challenges?
    If yes…
    How “hard” are the following challenges?Are there easy ways to complete them?

    1. Kill a bear with throwing knives without taking damage
    2. Kill 3 flying birds with 3 consecutive long scoped rifle shots
    3. Win 3 hands of poker in a row

    • Matt says

      November 11, 2018 at 11:46 pm

      I am not Powerpyx, but I can tell you,

      1: Make 2 poison throwing knives and a headshot a bear and it will come down easily.

      2: You pretty much have to have the ability to shoot with dead eye without targeting which you get in Chapter 4 to do this, but then it is just a matter of finding 3 ducks/birds that fly together and kill them in one dead eye.

      3: Go to Valentine and just bet ALL IN, most of the time the others fold and you win automatically. Pretty easy.

    Is it somehow possible to replay a mission with your current stats and weapons (like the first time you play them) or will it always be reseted to the default Character?

    On the first and second mission I restarted from checkpoint for the ‘no damage’ checkpoints and they both counted for me. However, I did not miss a shot but yet I can not seem to get the 80% accuracy medals.

      Hopefully R* patches it, and even patches it to be like GTAV and not require it all in one run, because I ran into the same issue in the first mission. From the start missed no shots (even saw blood with every one), took no damage, and completed the looting at least 6 items and it did not give me the accuracy checkmark. No restarts or deaths or anything.

  13. Shiky says

    I wish R* would reverse to the old medal mechanism we used to have in GTA V and RDR 1… Completing ALL objectives in ONE run is extremely difficult so far (and frustrating with some long, unskippable cutscenes). I’m stuck in “killing all wolves without being hurt” for at least 3 hours because I had to restart the whole mission if I’m bitten, missed killing a wolf, or missed the other accuracy objective. RDR 2 medal mechanism is really a catastrophe for trophy / achievement lovers.

    Hi PowerPyx,

    Finding an answer to a question I see only myself posting about so far.

    Can you replay Stranger Missions? Such as The Noblest of Man, and a Woman.

    Just finished the requirements for the “It’s Art” trophy and it didn’t unlock! Put the Squirrel on the fireplace and nothing happened. Loaded save up to find the Squirrel isn’t there now and I can’t place it there either! Bit annoyed right now…

    For timed missions, do dead eye and cinematic kills extend total mission timer?

    Some requirements are so vague and I think certain timers start after unskippable dialogue or event, but you can ever tell without a in-game timer.

    Getting gold medals on certain missions on replay mode is way harder than first playthrough, as you can buff up/use snake oils for dead eye.

    How does accuracy work???
    I’ve run the same mission multiple times now a can’t get that 80% mark.

    Does it count as a miss if I hit an enemy but hi doesn’ die. (1 shot 1 kill to be 100%).

    And if there are fx 20 enemies but I rush through and get out of there only shooting at 3 without missing those 3 will it count as 100%???

    I simply can’t find a clear answer anywhere!!

      It counts your shooting. If you shoot 1 time and hit 1 enemy it’s 100% accuracy. If you shoot 2 time and hit 1 time it’s 50%.

      Accuracy is dependent on headshot’s, i’ve asked Rockstar about this.

    I just reached chapter 6 and I’m at 44 gold medals at the moment. Here’s what I can confirm so far. I’m not sure if it’s bugs or intended this way.

    – u cannot complete part of the objectives in one attempt and do other the objectives on another attempt, all objectives have to be completed in a single attempt.

    – many of the timed missions are impossible or near impossible. Maybe they tested those on a 60fps system but with my regular ps4, knowing exactly where to go, what to do and skipping cut scenes I cannot beat them.
    A good example is “a fork in the road” in chapter 5. Literally nothing can go wrong there, just a few buttons to press. Tried it a dozen times at least but get bronze each time.

    – missions where u can’t use health items fail if you restart a checkpoint.

    – missions where u need a certain accuracy fail if you restart a checkpoint.

    – missions where u need a certain amount of headshots fail if you restart a checkpoint.

    – if you replay missions u get predetermined gear and horse, usually little or no potions and other items making it a lot harder.

    Here a few tips I’d like to share with u guys to hopefully make it a little more doable.

    – stock up on items to restore your dead eye before you start a mission that involves shooting and heavily abuse the dead eye system.

    – save before each mission, if it fails load up your save to try again, don’t use replay.

    – get yourself a fast horse (arabian) and stock up on stamina items. During timed missions ride full speed and keep injecting him when stamina gets low.

    – don’t interfere with AI partners during timed missions, make sure they have a clear path to walk/ride. They can mess things up badly if obstructed.

    – skip cutscenes during timed missions.

      A fork in the road is a easy gold Medal, you must pick the right street at the end. It will always end, when you reach a junction.
      If you go to the right it’s impossible to get Gold. If you go to the left, first try

  19. Moledaddy says

    I definitely think this gold medal system may be bugged. I replayed Old Friends and got the 15 headshots first(I know this because I saw the box was checked in the log menu). Then proceeded to get 3 dead eye kills (which never checked off), lasso/hogtie kieran quickly(no check either), as well as the time/no health item. When I finished, all the boxes were checked EXCEPT the 15 headshots!

    Dude, this is a really frustrating trophy.
    Idk if I will get it, but it has been very difficult to get these gold medals.

    Some missions are impossibles (or almost) to get, like the missions with time or headshot + accuracy.
    And plus with the fact if you restart the mission, you will back with your poor horse without any stamina and your bag without ammu and itens to restore your dead eye or life. This is really bad.

    And some missions have scenes that take all the time, even if you cut them, some parts cannot be skipped.
    I’ll keep trying, but as I said, idk if I will get it. But, good luck for us, and lets keep try.

    Managed to get 70 Gold Medals primarily through replaying missions, so here are a few tips to make some of them easier.

    – Get Dead-Eye consumables either by buying them from the shelves in the general stores, or by killing and looting civilians. For example, in the mission Blessed are the Meek, you can enter the general store before freeing Micah and buy chewing tobacco from the shelf. Dead-Eye consumables don’t affect the “No Health Item” objective, in case you’re wondering

    – Civilians count for headshots, and maybe other killing related objectives. In the mission A Strange Kindness, I got the 5 headshots just killing people around Flatneck Station while trying to find/loot some Horse Stimulant. Much easier since enemies are very limited, and Charles might kill one or two.

    – You can reload checkpoints manually by pressing Left on the D-Pad, selecting it and holding square to Abandon, which will then give the option to reload. Do note that reloading checkpoints do void certain objectives, such as the “Complete in x minutes”, “No Health Item”, “At least X% Accuracy” and “X Headshots”.

    However, there are missions that don’t have any of these objectives, and in those cases the checkpoints can be very helpful. An example is the mission Bare Knuckle Friendships, where you have to kill all of Guido’s men in 10 seconds, and the checkpoint is just as the firefight starts. Another good example is Blessed Are The Peacemakers, where I got spotted and reloaded the checkpoint, did it successfully and got all the objectives done.

    Checkpoints also seem to glitch objectives sometimes, in a positive way. In the mission A New South, I got the objective for catching and returning Anders Anderson after reloading the checkpoint just before fighting him, to practice doing the fight without getting hit.

      I don’t think you can buy anything because when you replay a mission you don’t have any money. I got all 70 gold medals using replay. It’s definitely doable

    • MrBongoGT says

      November 9, 2018 at 6:48 pm

      I used a deadeye item on Jim Milton Rides, Again? and it counted as a health item, or at least it didn’t trigger correctly. Had 100% accuracy on another mission and didn’t even count for 80%. Headshots don’t track in some of these missions…stupidly frustrating.

    • Vlayer says

      November 10, 2018 at 3:11 am

      @sk3acher Most missions I replayed had me at $150, so maybe it varies. 70 Gold is definitely doable without any items, but buying even just one 4-pack of chewing tobacco does make some of them a lot less frustrating, especially when riding + shooting or teammates are involved.

      @MrBongoGT Did you at any point reload a checkpoint? Even if at the very beginning of the mission, it’ll void the health item objective and the accuracy objective until you completely cancel the mission and choose to play it again. I also think that reloading a checkpoint voids the “Get X Headshots” and other similar variants such as “Get X Kills in Deadeye/while Dual Wielding” until you cancel and play again.

      Reloading a checkpoint won’t void unique objectives such as “Return the lost wagon horse to its owner” or even uniquely timed ones such as “Return Jules to the skiff within 1 minute 40 seconds” and “After arriving in Saint Denis, find Charles within 1 minute 50 seconds”.

      Basically, if the objective spans the whole mission, i.e. it’s being tracked from the beginning of the mission until the end, then it’ll likely be voided by reloading a checkpoint.

    So I refused to do the mission We Loved Once and True in chapter 2. I’m now discovering I needed to do it to get the Lending a Hand trophy. Will this mission become unlocked after I finish the story so I can get the trophy? This is the first article I’ve found that mentions once the story is finished that the missed missions are all available. Just concerned about the trophy, I hate missable trophies. Especially in a sandbox game, where you’re supposed to do whatever you want.

      While the missions are indeed available for replay, they will not count towards the Lending a Hand trophy during replay. They must be done during your main playthrough. The replay only counts towards gold medals and not towards the missable Lending a Hand.

    Does the Gold Rush achievement can be unlocked from different saves or only one track save?
    In other words, is it possible to get gold medals from earlier saved games (each for different chapter) to access consumable, better horse etc. and make the process easier without starting a gameplay all over again.

    just wondering as Gold medals are linked to the Rockstar Socialclub.

    There is a mission in Chapter 4 that is missing. It is called “The Highs and Lows of Finance” its a Bank Robbery with Charles, the Gold Medal Requirements are:
    – Complete within 5:45
    – Dont take any damage during the escape.’
    It appears on the map as a side mission, the white symbol with the letter, however it does count as an actual story related mission and is in the chapter 4 story tab in the progression.

    After patch 1.15 you have tonics and better weapons during replay, I have tested it. So it is a little bit easier to do replays.

    “Replaying a Story Mode mission via the Pause Menu will now give you access to all currently owned weapons in the current story progression
