Strangers

Remember that some of them will only appear during the day or night, and will only be visible when you approach them.
Rewards
Description: Having a bounty on your head does not prevent you from collecting the bounty on someone else's head. Being an outlaw can help you catch them if no one understands who you really are. Collect 5 bounties from the sheriff.
You'll find posters with the faces of wanted men in sheriff's offices in major towns. The "cut" icon will appear on the map once you enter the town. You will find 6 sizes in: Valentine, Rhodes, St. Denis, Strawberry, Blackwater, Tumbleweed.
Random Encounters

Wandering around the limitless world of Red Dead Redemption 2 from time to time you may see white dots on the map. These are random events that can appear endlessly and in every part of the game. You should have no problem dealing with 25 of them by simply exploring the game map, however the best place to finish this task as quickly as possible is to go to Saint Denis. Here you will find numerous beggars and other people who will give you the opportunity to complete a random encounter.
As for those you may encounter in the West, you will find women tied to horses that have just been kidnapped, horses that are running away or killing their rider (in this case you will have to recapture the horse), gunmen that will challenge you to shoot bottles, horse racing challenges, fugitives that you will have to free from chains, stranded people that need a ride, drunks that will ask you for directions, sick people that need some medicine or many other small events. We are sure that during your adventure you will see more than 25 white dots on your map, so don't worry!
Bushwhacked
Description: Dutch's gang isn't the only one east of the Grizzlies. There are other outlaws out there and they won't be happy with competition or old rivalries. Be on guard and be ready to draw your weapon quickly. Face a gang ambush.
This objective will also be very easy to accomplish as you continue on your adventure. You can be ambushed at any time while traveling: enemies will stop you by blocking your path with a burning car or start shooting at you. There is no way to control these events and you will be assured that they will occur at least once during the course of the game.
Hide the gangs from them.
Description: The pressure of the law is getting to be felt and the last remaining gangs are in hiding, ready to fight. Find them before someone else does. One way or another: Capture all 6 gang hideouts.
Of the 6 hideouts needed, 4 will be dismantled over the course of the story. Therefore, it won't be difficult to complete this mission and complete 100% of RDR2.

Maximum Health, Stamina, Dead Eye
Description: Whether you're traveling, fighting, hunting, or relaxing in front of a fire, you always stand out as the best. Take your health, stamina and dead eye to the top.
Here's how to increase the 3 main parameters in RDR2:
- Maximum health: To maximize your health points you'll need to fight, archery, fishing or any other activity that requires physical strength.
- Stamina: To increase your stamina you will need to run, swim or do any kind of activity that tests your endurance. The quickest way is to press the sprint button until the stamina bar has been emptied several times.
- DeadEye: To upgrade your Dead Eye and unlock new powers, you'll need to perform trick shots, hunting, breaking, or other survival-related activities. The best way to upgrade your Dead Eye is to constantly use it to hit enemies' weak spots. Use the items to restore the Dead Eye bar and use it constantly.
Bond with the horse...
Description: Every outlaw needs an equine companion to rely on, a mount he can trust to ride out of chaos or to be led fearlessly into the center of it. Reach the highest level of bonding with a horse you have.
