In Red Dead Redemption 2, the latest open world epic from Rockstar Games, there are lots of ways to make money. However, some players may want to know how to make the most money as fast as possible, and as it turns out, the best way to make money fast in the game is by selling gold bars.

Each gold bar in Red Dead Redemption 2 is worth $500 apiece, so selling gold bars is a great way to make a lot of money fast in the game. The downside to this method is that gold bars aren't easy to come by, and players will have to know exactly where to look if they hope to find any in the game. The best way to find gold bars is by following treasure maps, specifically two treasure maps that are available very early on.

Two treasure maps that Red Dead Redemption 2 players can get early on are the Poisonous Trail treasure map and the Jack Hall Gang treasure map. By completing those treasure maps, players will get themselves some gold bars that can then be sold to one of the fences found in the various towns dotted around the open world.

Following treasure maps and selling gold bars is probably the fastest legitimate way to get rich in Red Dead Redemption 2, and players can put that money to good use by buying new equipment for Arthur and purchasing camp upgrades. Players who are interested in less legitimate methods may want to know about the gold bar exploit, though.

Red Dead Redemption 2 players have discovered a gold bar glitch that allows them to turn one gold bar into 30 at a time. Click here to learn how to do the glitch, but be warned that using this method may have some unforeseen negative consequences on one's save file in the future. It's also worth pointing out that Rockstar will likely patch the gold bar glitch out of the game entirely, meaning players will have to resort to other methods to make money fast in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now for PS4 and Xbox One.
