Jobs are tasks that the player can perform to earn Money in Red Dead Redemption.

Description[]

There are two types of Jobs available: Nightwatch and Horse Breaking. Horse breaking is available at two locations, Nightwatch available at three. Completing a job at all five job locations contributes to 100% Completion. Jobs can be repeated at each location, within time restrictions, as often as the player wants. If Marston's Honor level rises to Honest Joe or above, all jobs will pay him twice as much.

Performing jobs is required for unlocking certain outfits.

Tips and Tricks[]

  • After successfully completing Horsebreaking, the tamed horse can usually be saved by a hitching post nearby, making it the horse that comes when whistled for.
  • For Nightwatch jobs, it is recommended to equip a weaker gun, such as the Cattleman Revolver, to shoot offenders in the leg or arm to make it easier to hogtie them to receive the maximum amount of money for the job. Alternatively, if the Lasso has been unlocked, that will also work.
