You can also use conversation to defuse the situation if the crime is petty, which works on the odd occasion.

If they catch you, depending on whether you’re still on a rampage or not, the lawmen will offer you a chance to surrender, which you can comply with by holding L2/LT and pressing Triangle/Y. Once that fades out and reaches the far left, the lawmen will give up the chase and you can get away unscathed. Once you’re outside of the red zone, you will see your wanted level start to lose its blood red colour. Once you’re wanted and in the identification stage, simply run or ride away from the red area that the authorities believe you to be in. How do Bounties work in Red Dead Redemption 2? Basically, if you want to get away with a crime, wear your bandana to make the escape a lot easier. If you’re a known suspect, the lawmen will know what to look for, and if you’re still in the red area, they will lock on to you fairly fast. This means you have a better shot at escaping as they don’t know what to look for. If you are an unknown suspect, the lawmen will come to where the witness reported the crime took place and look for suspicious people who fit the description in the red area on your minimap. Regardless of whether the witness sees you or not, you will receive a big ‘WANTED’ icon in the top right of your screen, and below it will list whether you are a known or unknown suspect. The precursor to this is ‘Crime Reported’, which occurs if you fail to stop any witnesses before they reach the authorities. This creates two different types of Wanted Level in Red Dead Redemption 2: Unknown and Known Suspect. If worn, even if you do commit a crime, a witness will not be able to report to the sheriff that you’re Arthur Morgan. On the second rung of your weapon wheel you will find a bandana in the lower left corner. Before we talk about the Wanted Level, we have to talk about identification.
