How to make and save money

One of the most obvious a ways to make money in the game is to progress through the story missions as some of them can provide you with a good source of income.

Heists in particular have the potential to give you large cash injection.

Other ways to quickly gain money includes looting bodies, hunting animals and going fishing.

Each of these will give you items that you can sell for money.

There is also the option to do robberies and bounty hunting as well as gambling your money in poker games.

One of the key aspects of ensuring you have enough money is making sure you manage it correctly, as it can be quite hard to come across good amounts of cash.

The main thing youll be spending your money on is ammo, medicine, and tonics so make sure that whenever you kill someone you remember to loot them.

This will almost always turn up some ammo and cash, but often useful items or valuable objects that can be sold or donated to the camp.

Just be careful to wear your mask while you do it, because if anyone spots you theyll tell the sheriff – even if you originally killed your victim in self-defence. (You can catch witnesses before they squeal though and either threaten them or kill them.)

Also, be careful to read an objects description if you havent seen it before, as some end up being requested by people in the camp as special favours.
