Steal Wagons and Give Them to Seamus
Seamus Will Purchase Any Stolen Wagons and Postal Workers Can Help
There’s always an infinite resource of wealth when it comes to the tamed West of 1899 since wagons are just everywhere. Seamus is a Fence that stays at Emerald Ranch in New Hanover, so exploring the Heartlands and waiting for a wagon to pass by, just so Arthur can steal it and deliver it to Seamus, is an effective method of acquiring some cash.
Not only can players wait around to sell these wagons to Seamus, but they can earn even more money if they rob stagecoaches by bribing postal workers like Aiden in Rhodes at the train station for some stagecoach tips, where there is usually a lock box and a wagon to take.

Loot Bodies and Sell Goodies to the Fence
Bodies Often Have Valuables to Be Sold
While players shouldn’t go ahead and kill random people just to loot them, it’s always worth taking some time to loot the bodies of hostile enemies that have tried to kill Arthur. After all, it’s fair game when they shot at Arthur first, and he isn’t going to lose honor for doing it, although a witness might run for the law.
Looting dead bodies doesn’t just grant ammunition, but it also provides a chance for a few quick dollars, as well as some valuables like jewelry and watches that can be sold at a Fence for even more cash in hand.

Rob Stores, Homesteads, and Trains
Earn Money Through the Ways Only An Outlaw Can Indulge In
The wild is filled with homesteads just waiting for Arthur to rob them, as is the plethora of trains that hold many civilians with their pockets lined with loot, and stores that have a cash register and perhaps a secret business that contains even more money than what was originally thought.

Catch and Sell Legendary Animal Parts & Legendary Fish
Legendary Animals Hold Many Expensive Materials for Trappers to Buy
With 15 Legendary Fish and 16 Legendary Animals, players have an entire map to explore as they become master huntsmen and master fishermen. While the Legendary Fish doesn’t provide the best method of cash, the Legendary Animals do – and with 16 of them in total, players can sell their materials, pelts, and carcasses to Trappers for easy cash.
Legendary Animals are in abundance, and finding them over other animals is the easiest way for some cash. However, players are going to want to be careful of the more hostile Legendary Animals, like the bear, cougar, and panther.
