94 Map Locations Discovered
(Locations can be "found" by just buying maps and pressing "Use" on them.)

Two locations sometimes fail to register as "found" even after purchasing and using the appropriate maps: Tanner's Span and Mason's Bridge are railway bridges located to the southwest and southeast (respectively) of the Pacific Union Railroad Camp. Manually journeying to (and crossing) these bridges will unlock the locations and count towards 100% completion.

Tips and Tricks

 * An automatically updated checklist can be seen at Rockstar's Social Club if you have an account. Though before they release the patch they are currently working on, the list will not be totally synced to your console. It is advised that you only use the list for a reference to see what you need in total, then use your in game stats to see what you have actually done.


 * Instead of going to all 94 locations, you can simply purchase all of the available maps saving a lot of time.


 * If you cannot determine the locations you are missing the map that comes with the game shows all the locations which allows you to easily determine which areas you need to go to. The map comes shipped in the CD case for the game, and is located behind the game manual, on the left hand side when you first open the case. The map also features the locations of all hunting locations, some not shown on the in game map.


 * If you think you have completed everything for the 100% but are still stuck on 99.5% then you may be missing a stranger mission. The 'I Know You' mission doesn't count towards your 100% due to the fact it cannot be completed after the main storyline is finished. Head to 'Sidewinder Gulch' there will be another stranger mission called 'Aztec Gold'. This will give you your last 0.5% and also total 19 completed.


 * Also, even if you acquire a rare weapon through completing gang hideouts, you must purchase the gun for it count towards the 100% completion rate (0.5%).


 * If you have still not achieved 100% try completing more bounty missions. Each bounty mission is worth 0.1% and these can be checked in STATS>SCORE if you scroll to the very bottom. You should have 8 locations completed in New Austin, 8 locations completed in Nuevo Paraiso and 4 locations completed in West Elizabeth which should amount to 2.0% of game completion altogether.
 * If you are stuck at 99.5% check you have done Ridgewood Farm's horsebreaking job, this job is commonly missed.
 * You could get unatural selection trophy and the redeemed trophy at the same time.
