The Bank was a central institution in virtually all communities of the American west at the time of Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption. Banks were used to safe-keep the wealth of the settlement they were located in. Because of this, large amounts of gold and cash stored were stored in the banks of the west - making it a prize goal of many outlaw groups.

ly-generated side missions involving banks. If he chooses the honorable side, Marston will be asked to retrieve a stolen bank safe, which then has to be brought back to bank. If the player chooses the dishonorable side, Marston will be able to rob banks. Either way the reward for this event will be cash. The Bank of Armadillo is the only known bank that can be robbed. It has two safes which can be cracked and two chests. The other two banks, one in Mexico and the other in Blackwater, cannot be robbed because you can't get past the doors to the vault. The Blackwater Bank has one safe that you can crack though. There is also another Bank in MacFarlane's Ranch with a safe that can be cracked.

Robbing the Bank

The most strategic and tactical way to robbing the Bank of Armadillo is to wait until around 1AM (Game Time). Head round to the side window to the right of the building, and equip the bandana. Take out any weapon and smash the window out by pressing RT (Xbox) or R2 (PS3). Climb on through, head into the safe and crack it (When you are close to cracking one of the digits the controller will vibrate. At this point, stop turning the dial.) The money will vary inside of the safe, and can be anything from $1 to even $500 or more. Lasso any witnesses and put them on the back of your horse and take them away to prevent them from telling the authorities.

The bank will be closed for a few days after, so come back again when the time is right.
