Crime Is Unprofitable

[HornedPanda]

Currently on the rockstar launcher version and im trying to find a way that will make doing crimes a LITTLE less stupid. like i want to rob a train get like idk like 300$ and not have a 1.5k$ bounty on me. makes doing crimes a BIT pointless imo

the thing is the witnesses dont matter. as SOON as a train gets robbed the cops just magically appear out of no where. so i ALWAYS have a massive bounty. and i COULD just run around with a bounty but then i couldnt go into towns

you can go into towns with a bounty. The only time you cant go into towns, is right ater you do a crime there. But you can wait a day, or two and they will let you in. Just be on the lookout for sheriffs. If they see you, there's a chance that they will recognize you.
honestly playing the game with high bounty is way more fun. Being followed by bounty hunters is immersive.
Another thing is that if you have a bounty in a specific state, you can just leave this state and after like in game week, or two, that bounty will disappear.

I wish you could have a second character just so I can go all out outlaw. But it doesn't fit my currently law abiding native american.

No, from my experience, bounties Do Not disappear.

Do not believe anyone who hasn't tested it for themselves.

Mild Spoiler:
I just played through the whole game, never paying a bounty, and i always had the Bounty in Strawberry from Breaking out Micah in Chapter 2, and all other bounties were still in place when Chapter 6 ended.

It is (obviously) very possible to play through the game without ever clearing a bounty -bounty hunters do show up every in-game day or two, but once they start shooting, just kill them all, and no pedestrians, and there's be no additional bounty.

Bounties do not interfere with Quests, and Bounty Hunters only show up when you are alone and in the wilderness - never at camp and never in Town.

i understand - but i didn't want you to be mislead (about bounties going away).

i agree with the original post, Crime is worthless - there are many gripe pages about the very unfair Bounty System, the Omniscience of all NPCs (it was Arthur Morgan - even with a completely new outfit, a new horse And a Mask)

But, it is true that you can kill all witnesses and even sometimes convince them to say nothing - unless you are in a town - i've tried that and it never ends (there is apparently a forever supply of lawmen somewhere).

It is unfortunate that crime is worthless, since that is sort of one of the main premises of the game - and while you can mostly ignore bounties under $200 - i did notice that higher bounties spawned more Bounty Hunters, and there is a rumor that eventually Town citizens will begin to refuse doing business with you, (and perhaps even recognize you and call the law ? - only a rumor).

Have fun - post anything you prove :)

Just pick up some of the gold bars around the map and you will never have to worry about bounty money ever again.
