Follow our guide to complete the Honor, Amongst Thieves mission in Red Dead Redemption 2. Learn how to recover the vaccine undetected and earn Gold.

Alright, let's get this mission, 'Honor, Amongst Thieves,' done. This one pops up after you agree to help Captain Monroe in the 'Archaeology for Beginners' mission. The main goal here is to snag a vaccine without anyone noticing, which is key for that Gold Medal. Speaking of Gold, you'll need to finish the whole thing in under 5 minutes and stay completely undetected. Don't worry, there's no shooting involved, so it's pretty straightforward, especially if you've done it before. Just remember to skip those cutscenes to save precious seconds!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, hop on your horse and ride with Captain Monroe. He'll explain that you need to sneak onto an army wagon and grab a vaccine. Once the chat's over (or you skip it), get back on your horse and head down the hill to the south. You'll want to position yourself to intercept the wagon as it passes.
  2. 2
    As the wagon approaches, ride up alongside its rear. You'll get a prompt to jump onto it. Once you're on, look for a grey lockbox to your left. Open it up, grab the vaccine, and then quickly jump off the back of the wagon.
  3. 3
    Now, it's a race against time! You need to gallop back to Wapiti as fast as you can. This is a long ride, so no stopping or taking any detours. Once you get to the reservation, dismount and head straight for the tent where you'll find Captain Monroe to wrap up the mission.
Tips
  • To get the Gold Medal, you absolutely must recover the vaccine without being detected.
  • Keep an eye on the clock; you have to complete the entire mission within 5 minutes.
  • Since there's no combat, this mission is a great candidate for replaying if you mess up the stealth or time limit.

Completing this mission successfully will net you progress in the story and potentially a Gold Medal if you meet the requirements.
