Stuck on a botched heist in Red Dead Redemption 2? Replay any mission instantly through the game’s menu-no save reloads required.
In RDR 2 you can replay the main story missions as many times as you like. Pause the game, go to the Progress option and then select Story. Go to the desired chapter and select the mission you want to replay.
Important notes regarding replaying missions:
- The main reason to replay missions is to try to get a gold medal. The game has an achievement/trophy for getting gold medals in missions. If you want to get them (and unlock the platinum trophy) then you will have to replay a lot of the missions. Remember that challenges get reset when you replay missions. Complete them in one go if you want to get a gold medal.
- The game doesn’t update or carry over your progress when you are replaying missions. Decisions made during these missions aren’t saved anywhere. If you want to make another choice, you have to reload a save made before starting a given mission. This can be impossible to do if you don’t have manual saves. Because of that you should always make a manual save before starting a new mission. Also, make use of all available save slots.
- Multi-part missions are added to the list after completing their last part. Also, it is possible that the game will only allow you to replay its final part.
Which missions are best for farming gold medals
Epilogue Part 1 missions stand out as the easiest for farming gold medals in Red Dead Redemption 2. These require simple tasks like herding sheep or farm chores, often achievable in one or two attempts without combat. Chapter 4 missions also rank highly for straightforward objectives.
Top Easy Missions
-
Farming, for Beginners (Epilogue 1): Reach ranch without dropping supplies, milk cows in 10 seconds, clean stable, and finish in 5:15. Slow turns prevent drops; quick stick rhythm fills buckets.
-
Simple Pleasures (Epilogue 1): Reclaim wagon in 1 minute, fix fence in 1:30, avoid bull hits. Prioritize wagon first and dodge carefully.
-
Pronghorn Ranch missions (Epilogue 1): Feed Jeremiah in 45 seconds, win races, defeat Laramie in 25 seconds with dual-wield kills. Use treats and sprint.
Strategies
Save before replays to test setups; objectives reset each time. Focus accuracy (70-85%) and timed tasks over kills when possible. Complete all Epilogue 1 (about 10 missions) for 10+ quick golds toward the 70 needed for Gold Rush.
Which chapters yield the most easy Gold Medals
Epilogue Part 1 and Chapter 4 offer the most easy gold medals in Red Dead Redemption 2, with players often completing all missions in these chapters for quick progress toward the 70 needed for Gold Rush.
Top Chapters
Epilogue Part 1 yields around 10 straightforward golds focused on ranch tasks like herding and chores, minimal combat involved. Missions reset cleanly for repeated attempts.
Chapter 4 provides 8-10 accessible medals with timed objectives and basic shootouts, such as “Country Pursuits” or “No, No and Thrice, No,” achievable via deadeye.
Chapter 2 adds reliable options like companion missions with low combat demands.
Mission Counts
| Chapter | Approx. Easy Golds | Key Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Epilogue 1 | Farming for Beginners, Simple Pleasures | |
| Chapter 4 | 8-10 | Country Pursuits, Help a Brother Out |

Prioritize these for efficiency, saving before replays to nail accuracy and times on first tries.
