Help Random Strangers in Need
Random Encounters Often Have Moral Dilemmas for Arthur
Across the many states and plains, Arthur will often stumble across a stranger – whether it’s in the forests, within towns, or on the roads. These strangers can often ask for things, and they are always in need of help to raise Arthur’s honor to a high status.
Arthur can help women kidnapped by men, provide health cures to those bitten by snakes, and experience plenty of other dangerous encounters that will show that Arthur has a helpful side to him that will grant him further honor gains.

Donate Money to the Camp
Earn Easy Honor Through Splashing Cash
It can be somewhat annoying to seem like the only outlaw who ever donates wads of cash to the Van der Linde gang camp, but outside of a few cosmetic upgrades, it does have its benefits. Donating money to the camp is an easy way to gain honor, as after every $20 and $0.01 donated, honor levels will go up quite a bit.
For players with the money to spare, try donating by the ledger in increments, as not only is it good to upgrade the campsite and scold Micah for putting in barely anything, but it also gives important gains to Arthur’s honor. Alternatively, players can donate their money to beggars in Saint Denis.

Disarming Duelists
Disarm Opponents in a Duel to Gain Peaceful Honor
Occasionally, Arthur can stumble into a town where a not-so-experienced gunslinger will call him out and demand him to draw his revolver. While Arthur can deny these requests and avoid blood on his hands, he can accept the duel and disarm his opponent for some high honor gains.

Arthur Morgan is not a perfect man, and all of his flaws have led him to do some truly foolish things that cost the lives of others.
While it can be harder to beat a duelist by disarming them by shooting their gun or their hand, the honor gains are worth it. However, duels are a lot rarer for random encounters in towns, so this might not be the fastest way, but certainly one to keep in mind.

Greet Everyone
Say Hello to Citizens for Small Honor Gains
Towns and cities are highly populated, and after Arthur greets 3 people, he will gain a small increment of honor. Considering there are so many people to populate towns, greeting everyone is the easiest way to get honor, even if it can be a tad lengthy of a process because the honor games are so small, but the people to say hi to are brimming with potential.
Areas like Saint Denis are perfect for honor gains, as Arthur can explore the taverns, saloons, and streets to say his greetings to anyone that comes in range. Just try not to antagonize those who aren’t interested in saying hello back, as that’s no good for honor gains.

Catch and Release Fish
Releasing Caught Fish is a Peaceful Way to Gain Honor
Fishing is a peaceful activity that is filled with immersion and really helps pass the time in such a beautiful world. Not only is it great to hunt for those elusive legendary fish, or bask in the sights of the many lakes, ponds, and swamps, but catching a fish grants a few bonuses.

Avoid Unnecessary Murders
Unlawful Activities is the Fastest Way to Lose Honor
It might sound simple, but players should avoid killing people outside of missions or when directed to. Sure, not everyone is going to head into town and start blasting, but if players are antagonized by an NPC, they might think that they have a right to defend themselves by letting their gun do the talking, and that kill is most certainly going to cause players to lose honor.
Whether it’s meeting people in the wild or greeting strangers that have no interest, killing them for lacking manners isn’t going to grant honor, nor is it a valid excuse to the law, so just try and avoid anything hostile that involves innocent folk minding their business. Gangs though? That’s fair game.
