Safe cracking

Safe Cracking is an activity in Red Dead Redemption where the player can attempt to crack a safe by listening to the tumblers fall. Doing so will result in a loss of honor for the player, unless the bandana is worn.

How To Safe Crack
The player must start by setting the safe's dial to zero. From there, he must rotate it to the right until the controller vibrates and then stop. An on-screen cue of a lock opening will signify that the first number has been found. The player than must rotate the dial to the left and right again, stopping each time the controller vibrates. If the player makes an error, he must begin again from the start.
