Story: Any of the bounty posters missable?

[Plumpeach]

I only done the first one as I am in Chapter 2 as Author..wondering if I progress to the third chapter and so on I will miss out?

you can miss the bounties yes but i don't think they start going missing until like chapter 4.

reason being that you're gonna go on an excursion and the world will change whilst you're out.

also make sure to help the homesteaders just southwest of valentine by the cliffside so you can get some extra money in the start before they build the house themselves, make sure to help them fend off bad guys, get lumber, and then once the house is built look for pops so he can pay you.

if you miss the timeline of any of that you will lose the chance to make a bit of good money, and def don't miss the payout if you already helped him.

As long as you have done the first one, Good Honest Snake Oil, you should be fine to do all the others when you desire. That first one unlocks all the others.

There are a couple bounties that are technically missable. A specific event must have happened to trigger them.


In a certain story mission you have to spare a certain persons life. You are given the choice.
If they are not killed, then they will become a bounty mission later in the game.

On another bounty you need to do a certain other bounty first. Then you must have visited a certain location/shack and looted/acquired a photo and then a bounty will be posted.

If my memory serves me.

you can completely miss all the beginning bounties as they get replaced after chapter 4 due to the timeline changing i have done so trying to save them for the end once and screwed myself lmao.

they are side missions, not required for the game but are required a certain count for 100%

that being said the early bounties will be caught by others if you fail to do them before you go to guarma.

Bounty missions are of course not available in chapter 5, and they are locked/unavailable in chapter 6 due to story reasons. They again become unlocked/available after a certain story bounty mission in Epilogue 1.

I always save the bounties, sans the first one in Valentine, for John in the epilogue - since bounty hunting seems to be canonically his thing.

That is a reasonable way to give John a way to earn money.
