Gold Bar Locations and Missions
You can sell gold bars for $500 each. Therefore, it’s advisable to collect these hidden bars and later sell them to the fence.
Gold bars are hidden: Because they are so valuable, you won’t find the gold bars just anywhere along the road. They are hidden in various spots and sometimes also rewards for missions. We will show you in this overview where to find the gold bars.
Completion of Chapter 2
One of the easiest ways to get gold bars is to follow the main story. As soon as you complete the second chapter, you will be rewarded with gold.
Gold Bars in Limpany
There is also a gold bar hidden in the abandoned spot of Limpany. The sheriff had stored it in his office and apparently did not take it with him.
You can find the gold bar in the sheriff’s house. Go inside and immediately to the left around the table. Under the desk, in a box, lies the bar.
Glitch: For this gold bar, there is a glitch that makes it appear infinitely.
Gold Bars from Treasure Maps
The treasure maps in Red Dead Redemption 2 can be found scattered around the world or bought from treasure hunters. To do this, you first need to reach Chapter 2. If you solve them, you will be rewarded with gold bars.
- You get 2 gold bars for completing the Jack Hall Gang treasure hunt

Travel south of Rhodes to find Braithwaite Manor. Go into the charred main building there. You will find a box on the ground that contains a gold bar.
Derailing Train in Granite Pass
Look for the derailed train in Granite Pass north of Valentine. The search will be worth it, as there are 2 gold bars waiting for you. In the embedded YouTube video, you will see where to find the bars.
