Multiplayer Challenges/Stat Challenges

Stat Challenges are a category of multiplayer challenges in Red Dead Redemption that are completed by accumulating statistics for walking, riding, and various other activities. The statistics are cumulative across all multiplayer sessions, though as with all challenges they are reset when the player passes into Legend. Statistics also accumulate across different game modes, not just in Free Roam.

Rank 1 of each challenge is available from the moment the player begins multiplayer (they do not need to be unlocked). These challenges are part of the main game and do not require any DLC.

There are eight sets of Stat challenges, each with three ranks, as detailed in the sections below. Each rank of each challenge builds upon the accomplishments of the previous rank (the counter is not reset to zero between ranks).

Completion of each rank of each challenge earns the player XP. Completion of all ranks for a given challenge earns the player a new title as well.

Foot Traveler
For each rank of the Foot Traveler set of challenges, the player must accumulate a certain number of miles walking or running.

High Roller
For each rank of the High Roller set of challenges, the player must perform a roll a certain number of times. Rolling is performed by dodging to the left, right, front, or back while the player has a weapon drawn and aimed.

Horse Trampler
For each rank of the Horse Trampler set of challenges, the player must run over a certain number of pedestrians while riding a horse.

Horse Traveler
For each rank of the Horse Traveler set of challenges, the player must accumulate a certain number of miles riding a horse.

Lemming Award
For each rank of the Lemming Award set of challenges, the player must fall to their death a certain number of times.

Shotgun Traveler
For each rank of the Shotgun Traveler set of challenges, the player must accumulate a certain number of miles riding shotgun on a stagecoach. "Riding shotgun" means that the player is seated next to the driver on top of the stagecoach.

Stagecoach Trampler
For each rank of the Stagecoach Trampler set of challenges, the player must run over a certain number of pedestrians while driving a stagecoach.

Stagecoach Traveler
For each rank of the Stagecoach Traveler set of challenges, the player must accumulate a certain number of miles driving a stagecoach.

General

 * Check out the stagecoaches page for details on where to find stagecoaches in multiplayer for use in the three challenges that use this form of transportation.
 * Although the stagecoach is specified in three sets of challenges, in reality other wheeled transports count towards the challenges as well. This has been confirmed with the Stagecoach Traveler challenge and an open two-horse Mexican wagon. Confirmation (or denial) for the Shotgun Traveler and Stagecoach Trampler challenges is still needed.

Foot Traveler

 * Most competitive and co-op game modes involve a lot of foot travel, so these modes will allow the player to accumulate the miles without much effort.

High Roller

 * Rolling is helpful in competitive game modes so this challenge is generally easy to achieve by spending time in those modes.

Horse Trampler

 * The same pedestrian can be run over multiple times with each hit counting towards the total.
 * Large settlements such as Armadillo and Blackwater are good places to work on this challenge due to the number of pedestrians, but be aware that trampling can result in a Bounty and pursuit by local law enforcement.
 * The player can create their own pedestrian targets by shooting a horse being ridden by an NPC, either killing it or causing it to throw off the NPC. The NPC can then be trampled while fleeing.

Horse Traveler

 * A quick way to do this is travel to El Presidio and carefully slide down the slope of the cliff to the northern exit of the fort. Slide down a large slope, go off the edge, die, and spawn back at the top. This gets about 4 miles every time so it will still take a while to get the challenge done, but it's a bit quicker.
 * Instead of using the transportation markers, take the time to enjoy a ride to the destination of your desire.
 * For a two in one deal, if the Liars and Cheats DLC is installed just keep playing Grand Prix to complete the Horse Traveler challenge as well as the Racing challenges.
 * In game, a mile of horseback riding takes about two minutes of real time.

Lemming Award

 * This task may seem dauntingly boring, but often when falling off a large cliff, the player will respawn close to that cliff again. It may take about an hour to do all 100 falls.
 * An easy way to complete this challenge along with the High Roller challenge is to continually roll off of the cliff.
 * Make a habit of starting and ending every online session by jumping off a cliff/building. The locations at which Free Roam sessions start are generally near settlements with tall buildings that can be quickly scaled for a jump (e.g. the Blackwater Hotel).

Shotgun Traveler

 * This set of challenges is best done with two people - one to drive and one to ride shotgun (players can then alternate if both are working on the challenge). It is possible to do it alone, however. Shoot the passenger off of an NPC-driven stagecoach, slow or stop it (nudge it to the side from behind while riding a horse), and hop on. Since the driver is still technically trying to get away, the ride will be rather erratic, and typically ends with the stagecoach flipping over or glitching.
 * The co-op missions The Escape and The Kidnapped Girl each feature segments with stagecoach travel. Since co-op requires at least two players, these are an excellent place to work on this challenge.

Stagecoach Trampler

 * Each of the tips (above) for the Horse Trampler challenge also apply here.
 * When driving a stagecoach, NPCs on carts, wagons, or horses can be rammed, causing them to be thrown off. The NPC will then flee which presents an opportunity for trampling. When done to a two-person cart this creates two targets with the possibility of multiple hits per target.

Stagecoach Traveler

 * While driving, draw and aim a weapon. While aiming down the middle of the road, press the start button to bring up the game menu. The game will continue to steer the stagecoach automatically and will go on forever. Just do this and leave the system on overnight to rack up the miles.

Trivia

 * The Lemming Award is named after the lemming, an animal that is popularly believed to run in droves off of cliffs. There is also a popular video game named Lemmings, in which the player must stop lemmings from falling to their death.
