As soon as you reach chapter 2, you can do two treasure hunts that together reward you with 7 gold bars, each sells for $500. You can get enough money to completely upgrade the camp, unlock fast travel, and still have $2000 to keep for your own spending. Considering none of the guns or outfits near the beginning are more than $150, you can set yourself up quite nicely. Having max camp and fast travel from the beginning of the game is what really breaks it for you. It can be a huge help.

I just did both hunts, took me about 90 minutes or so total.

That seems like Atheon-level bad design.

I tried doing one of the treasure hunts, but you apparently need a lantern for it.

so I put that on hold.

it's not really bad design when you basically have to know exactly where to look for the maps, and the treasure, to find them

the game is really big

You have one from the start. Hold l1/lb to bring up weapon menu, highlight where your knife is and hit r2/rt to move over to your lantern.

If five minutes on the internet gets you all the early in-game cash you'll need, that's maybe not BAD design, but it's not that great either.

This is a game that rewards not doing it.

You have to get all maps for a treasure to appear FYI.

I dunno man, the inevitable microtransactions are for multiplayer, not single player.

However, everyone and their mom is finding out about this little deal here.

idk if that's a fair criticism.

the internet allows people to share information that that others might not have uncovered on their own for a long time, if at all

Random stranger encounters and stuff. Tons of side missions you only get by riding between locations.

Oh and you have to do a couple missions for hosea to unlock the fence to be able to sell the gold bars. I just did it, upgraded my camp to max. It's great having free ammo and food lol

And you can complete the first Super Mario Bros game in less than 15 minutes, but you never did that the first time you played the game.

That's cool and all but I'll pass, roughing it is half the fun.

If I want to cheat, the game has like 40 different actual cheat codes.

Do the one for uncle. Opens up two more. One is the first hosea mission, do it, then do the money lending mission for Leonard since it's quick and opens up camp upgrades. After this you can do the second hosea mission that opens the fence.

Edit: after money lending mission, walk around camp, one of the girls will tell you to meet hosea at emerald ranch.

You can literally break almost any game if go out of your way to. That doesn't make it bad design.

This will only unlock fast travel from your camp to cities you've visited

So it's not that big of a deal
