Red Dead Redemption 2 Guide: All Gang Hideout Locations

While Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang are the primary focus in Red Dead Redemption 2, the vast open world is home to numerous rival gangs with hideouts waiting to be discovered. For those aiming for 100% completion, locating and clearing out these hideouts is a must. Some are easy to stumble upon, while others are tucked away in more obscure locations.

Before tackling any hideout, make sure to stock up on health items, ammunition, and other supplies. Each hideout is guarded by waves of enemies who will use the environment to their advantage, making every encounter a challenging shootout. Although enemies may respawn later, clearing a hideout once is enough to mark it as complete.

O'Driscoll Gang Hideout: Six Point Cabin

The O'Driscoll Gang’s first hideout can be found early in the game, during Chapter 2. Taking out the few O'Driscoll members here is straightforward, especially if you use cover and let your allies handle some of the work. Stealth is your friend—take down a few enemies quietly to reduce their numbers before engaging in a larger firefight.

Valuable loot can be found here, including items like Gold Wedding Rings and a Platinum Pocket Watch, which can be sold for a good amount of cash. Be sure to pick up everything of value from the defeated O'Driscolls and the area around the hideout.

Lemoyne Raiders Gang Hideout: Shady Belle

In Chapter 3, you’ll face the Lemoyne Raiders, a gang with a stronghold at the Shady Belle plantation. This hideout is heavily fortified, with numerous enemies wielding powerful weapons. Before attempting to clear this hideout, it’s wise to equip yourself with some of the best firearms available.

Survey the area first to find suitable cover and plan your attack. The plantation offers plenty of spots to break the line of sight, allowing you to maneuver and surprise your enemies. Draw the Raiders out from their hiding spots by circling the main house and using the environment to your advantage.

Like the O'Driscoll hideout, Shady Belle is ripe with loot. Search the bodies of the Raiders for valuable items like a Platinum Engraved Buckle. There are also small huts with ammunition and other valuables, so thoroughly explore the area for useful supplies.

Murfree Brood Gang Hideout: Beaver Hollow

The Murfree Brood hideout is encountered in Chapter 5, but you can also discover it earlier while exploring. Located near Annesburg, this gang has taken refuge in a cave. Start by taking out enemies around the cave entrance, but be cautious—there’s limited cover in this area, so find a good spot before engaging.

The Murfree Brood favor melee weapons like machetes, making them dangerous at close range. Use long-range firearms to pick them off before they can get close. As you venture into the cave, switch to a shotgun or melee weapon to handle the tight quarters.

The cave holds valuable loot, including cash and other items stored in chests. Be sure to collect everything from the gang members and explore the cave to maximize your rewards.

O'Driscoll Gang Hideout: Hanging Dog Ranch

The second O'Driscoll hideout appears in Chapter 6, located at Hanging Dog Ranch. This hideout is more challenging than the first, featuring a larger group of enemies and a mounted Maxim Gun that can quickly deplete your health. Taking control of this weapon can turn the tide, allowing you to wipe out the gang with ease.

After clearing the ranch, search every building for loot. The houses contain food items, equipment, and other valuables. Don't forget to loot the bodies of the O'Driscolls for additional rewards.

Del Lobos Gang Hideout: Thieves Landing

Accessible only in the game's epilogue, the Del Lobos gang controls Thieves Landing. This hideout is one of the tougher ones, with limited cover and few opportunities for stealth. A good strategy is to circle around the docks, using the water to approach undetected. This tactic prevents the gang from surrounding you.

Check the bodies and main camp for loot, but the real treasure lies on the ship docked at the landing. Below deck, you’ll find a Gold Nugget and some cash, along with shotgun and rifle ammunition to use in future encounters.

Del Lobos Gang Hideout: Fort Mercer

Fort Mercer, a nod to the original Red Dead Redemption, is another Del Lobos hideout available during the epilogue. This military fort is well-defended and requires a strategic approach. Use the main gate as cover to thin out the outer guards before venturing inside.

Fort Mercer is rich with loot, both on enemies and within the fort itself. Explore the scaffolding for hidden items, including healing tonics and food supplies, which are valuable for other endgame activities.

Del Lobos Gang Hideout: Solomon’s Folly

Originally exclusive to the PC version, Solomon’s Folly is now available on consoles. This hideout, accessible during the epilogue, is another Del Lobos stronghold. Use a long-range rifle to pick off gang members from a distance, taking advantage of their exposure around the campfire. Watch out for enemies on horseback who may try to flush you out.

Loot includes Cocaine Gum, Gold Wedding Rings, Potent Health Cures, and a Gold Nugget hidden in the fireplace of a ruined building. Additionally, a secret bunker at this location contains a substantial amount of cash.

Del Lobos Gang Hideout: Gaptooth Breach

Gaptooth Breach, another Del Lobos hideout, features a railway base with elevated positions for enemy snipers. Use stealth to reach higher ground undetected or find cover near the railroad tracks to safely pick off foes. This hideout includes a mine with valuable items like Gold Nuggets. Be prepared for multiple groups of enemies as you clear the area.

Bonus Gang Hideout at Twin Rocks

Exclusive to the Ultimate Edition of Red Dead Redemption 2, the Twin Rocks hideout is a bonus location near Armadillo. While not required for 100% completion, clearing this small encampment provides extra loot. The few enemies here are easy to deal with, and you can find items like Gin and possibly a horse. Make sure to search every building for other valuables.

How to Farm Money from Gang Hideouts

After clearing a hideout, enemies will eventually respawn, providing an opportunity to return and collect more loot. Each time you clear a hideout, the loot resets, making these locations ideal for farming money. By repeatedly taking on gang members and looting their camps, you can amass wealth in true Old West fashion.

Finding and clearing all gang hideouts in Red Dead Redemption 2 not only helps you complete the game but also offers a steady source of income, ensuring you remain well-equipped for whatever challenges the frontier throws your way.
