Banking, the Old American Art Red Dead Redemption 2 Mission

1. Follow the convoy to Saint Denis / Follow Dutch

Ride to Saint Denis with your gang. When you reach the city boundaries, you will split up. You, Dutch, and a few more will head towards the bank.

2. Wait with Dutch for Hosea's distraction

You and the rest of your group will get to the bank and get off your horses. You will have to wait a while for Hosea's distraction.

A huge explosion on the other side of the town will be the signal to start the robbery.

3. Follow Dutch / Force the bank manager to open the vault

Equip your disguise, and follow Dutch and others into the bank. Your mates will take care of the bank's clients and staff, excluding the manager, and your task will be to get into the vault.

Point your gun at the bank manager or beat him and after a while he should open the vault.

4. Enter the vault / Unlock the safes

Once the vault is opened, go inside and try to open any of the safes.

Bill will force the manager to give you the numbers you need to open the safe. The correct combination is 19 - 72 - 54. Start turning the dial to the left (counterclockwise), then to the right and then to the left again. When you are close to the correct number the controller should start to vibrate and when you set the correct number you will hear a click. To earn the gold medal you cannot turn the dial too far so take your time.

When you take the contents of the safe, John will inform you about the problems that have arisen.

5. Follow Dutch

Dutch will run out of the vault and you should follow him. When you get close to the windows, you'll see Agent Milton and few more Pinkertons on the street. They captured Hosea.

Agent Milton has no intention of negotiating with Dutch and to prove it he will shoot Hosea and kill him. A second later, the gunfire will begin.

6. Take out the lawmen

To earn the gold medal in this mission, you need to get 25 headshots. You can get all of them during this shooting. Just when Dutch starts calling for you to come to him, ignore him and keep shooting until you get the required number of headshots.

7. Go to Dutch / Pick up the dynamite / Place the dynamite on the wall / Go to the wall / Take cover form the dynamite / Shoot the dynamite

Dutch is waiting for you behind the counter in the central area of the bank. Go to him and take the dynamite lying on the floor.

Approach the wall and place dynamite on it. Then return behind the counter, take cover and shoot the dynamite.

An explosion will cause a large breach in the wall. Dutch tells you to go to the roof to cover the retreat of the other gang members.

8. Go to the roof / Take out the lawmen while the gang climb up to the roof

Note: When you walk out through a hole in the wall, Javier will throw you a rifle suggesting that you will need it on the roof. You shouldn't use it if you want to earn the gold medal.

Climb up the ladders on the roof of an adjacent building ...

... and start shooting at enemies on the street and the balcony of the building across the street.

After some time a wagon with a machine gun mounted on it will appear at the end of the street. Activate Dead Eye and kill the gunner as fast as you can.

In the meantime, the rest of your gang will come up on the roof. Arthur will propose that he and Lenny go ahead to find the way out.

9. Follow Lenny across the rooftop / Take out the lawmen on the rooftop / Go and help Lenny

Lenny will go first, follow him. You won't get far when two Pinkerton agents show up on the roof, and one of them shoot Lenny.

Dead Eye will activate automatically. Kill both agents.

Come to Lenny, who's lying on the ground. Unfortunately, it is too late to help him.

10. Jump across the alley to the roof / Follow Dutch / Climb in the abandoned building window

Jump to the roof of the adjacent building.

You'll stop for a moment to discuss. Dutch will decide to go ahead and you will have to follow him. Follow Dutch with the rest of your gang across the roofs, balconies, etc.

Eventually, you'll reach an abandoned building.

Enter through the window into the building.

You will wait in the abandoned building until nightfall to then try to get to port and escape on the ship.

11. Follow Dutch / Follow Dutch through the train / Hide behind the train seats

When it gets dark, follow Dutch to the docks.

At some point you will have to sneak further through the train cars.

Follow Dutch and when the guards decide to check the train, hide behind one of the seats and wait until they leave.

12. Follow Dutch / Attract the guards over to the area without being spotted

Going forward, you'll reach more guards. The Dutch will ask you to pull them away.

Go to the location marked on the map and whistle. The guards should start moving in your direction.

Then you should go back to the others by moving behind the barrels and crates so that the guards do not spot you.

13. Follow Dutch

Next, you'll come to a spot guarded by four men. While conversing about what to do, Charles will sacrifice himself and run out, giving all of you a chance to bypass them.

The rest of the way to the ship should be clear by now. You will board the ship and sail towards Cuba.

Unfortunately, a terrible storm will cause the ship to sink, you and the rest of the gang will be separated, and you will have to leave the sinking ship by jumping into the sea.

This will conclude this mission and the new one will automatically start - Welcome to the New World.
