Red Dead Redemption 2 Loansharking Locations
RDR2 is a very nice Wild West simulator, and of course, with crime, comes money. Money is like a staple of every gang ever.
The story is… some people have taken money from the gang of Dutch van Der Linde. Leopold Strauss, a fellow member of your gang, will ask you to ‘encourage’ debtors to pay up the money they own to the gang.
Of course, these missions are entirely optional but they still have a good role in adding simulation to the gameplay of the game. These debtors are marked on the map with a dollar icon. GO GET ‘EM TIGER.
You can get Loansharking missions from Leopold Strauss. He is a fellow gang member.
Loansharking missions are time-sensitive and must be completed before Chapter #6. All Loansharking Missions will disappear after Chapter #6 because [Edit: Removed due to Spoilers]
