Red Dead Redemption 2

Guides

Challenges Completion Order

A progression-first order for all challenge sets so you unlock useful perks early and avoid chapter-gated stalls.

Map

Recommended order

  1. Start with Explorer + Survivalist for low-friction progress and early utility rewards.
  2. Fold in Sharpshooter and Weapons Expert while doing missions to reduce grind.
  3. Run Bandit/Horseman in travel windows between story beats.
  4. Finish Gambler and Master Hunter later when money, gear, and fast travel are established.

Tips

  • Track chapter-gated ranks first so you do not brute-force impossible requirements.
  • Bundle challenge tasks with stranger missions and hunting loops.
  • Use dedicated loadouts per set (hunting, dead-eye, stealth crime, gambling bankroll).
  • When a rank stalls, pivot to a different set and return with better economy/gear.
