Red Dead Redemption 2’s vast open world is teeming with outlaws. Scattered across the map are hidden Gang Hideouts, strongholds for these criminal gangs. Clearing these hideouts isn’t just about wiping out the competition – it also offers valuable rewards. It means facing off against waves of enemies during ambushes, chance encounters, hideout captures, and campfires.
There are a total of six different story-mode gang hideouts unless you have the ultimate or special edition, which adds one more gang hideout. The first four hideouts cannot be missed since they are part of the story, but the gang members will respond so you can come back and complete these whenever you want at a later time after discovering them in the story. The remaining hideouts are in the part of the map that can only be unlocked after completing Chapter 6.
This guide helps you to conquer Red Dead Redemption 2 Gang Hideouts, but before you do that, search the dead bodies to restock on ammo.

This O’Driscoll Boys’ hideout is found in the Cumberland forest, just northeast of Valentine right near the Dakota River bank. This hideout can be found in the main story during chapter 2.
