Red Dead Redemption 2 100% Complete Save File (Max Honor & All Collectibles)
Red Dead Redemption 2
Save File Overview
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the longest games ever made, and getting to 100% completion legitimately is a serious time investment — we're talking 80–100 hours minimum for a thorough playthrough. This save skips all of that. Every main story chapter is done, including the Epilogue, so Arthur's arc and the John Marston storyline are both fully played out. Every collectible on the map is tracked down — dinosaur bones, rock carvings, exotic animal requests, legendary animals hunted, legendary fish caught. All the companion activities, stranger missions, and random encounters that count toward the progress tracker are cleared out too. Money is maxed, honor is sitting at peak positive rating, and the saddlebag and camp upgrades are all done. If you've already played RDR2 once before and want to load into a finished world to hunt, fish, explore, or just ride around in the perfect world Rockstar built without any unchecked boxes hovering over your head — this is exactly that. No story spoilers to worry about either, since you've already seen it.
Game Version & Compatibility
Version: PC — Rockstar Games Launcher and Steam (both versions share the same save format)
Progress: 100% Completed
File Size: 487 KB
RDR2 on PC is sold through both Steam and the Rockstar Games Launcher, and both versions write saves in the same location and format — so this file works on either without any modification needed. Rockstar has pushed patches to this game over the years, mostly targeting online content rather than single-player, so the story mode save format hasn't shifted in a long time. Whether you're on an older version or a freshly updated copy, compatibility isn't something you'll need to stress about here. The one thing worth noting is that Rockstar's own cloud save sync (through the Rockstar Games Launcher) can conflict with manually placed save files if it's set to auto-pull from the cloud on launch. Disable that before you swap the file in, or give the game a first boot offline after the copy to lock in the local file before any cloud sync kicks in.
Save Location Guide
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\RDR2 stores its save data in your Documents folder — no hidden AppData digging needed here, which makes the whole process more straightforward than most. Head to File Explorer, open Documents, and navigate into Rockstar Games, then Red Dead Redemption 2, then Profiles. Inside Profiles you'll see a folder named after your Rockstar Social Club profile ID (a string of letters and numbers) — your saves sit inside that folder. If you've never launched RDR2 before, that Profiles folder might not exist yet. Fire the game up once, let it reach the main menu, and save or auto-save from inside the game, then close it. The folder chain will be there waiting for you after that first launch. As always, close the game and the launcher before you copy anything in — active sessions can lock the directory or trigger an auto-overwrite when you exit.
Installation Steps
Step 1
Completely exit RDR2 and shut down the Rockstar Games Launcher (or Steam if launching from there) — make sure both are fully closed, not just minimized.
Step 2
Download a zip file
Step 3
Grab the save archive, unzip it
Step 4
drop the extracted save files into the profile folder inside `Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\YourProfileID\`.
Step 5
Open the game, head to Story from the main menu, go to Load Game, and pick the save slot — the progress tracker should show 100%.
Backup & Safety Notes
You should make a copy of your existing profile folder before you do anything. The save data for RDR2 is stored in a folder that has a lot of files in it so you need to copy the YourProfileID folder to a safe place. You can put it in a folder on your desktop or on an external drive. This is important because the Rockstar launcher can sometimes see that your profile does not match and it will try to use the cloud version when you launch the game again which will get rid of your save. You should. Turn off cloud sync for Story Mode before you start or you should launch the game for the first time in offline mode so your local save gets registered before it tries to sync with the cloud. Something else to think about is that RDR2 is a game. If your computer is old or does not have a lot of video memory the open world can make the game run slowly and that has nothing to do with saving the game. It is a problem, with the graphics settings. If the game gets slow after you load it you should try lowering the resolution or the crowd density.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this save work on the Epic Games Store version of RDR2?
RDR2 isn't available on Epic — it's Rockstar Launcher and Steam only on PC, and this save covers both of those.
I see multiple folders inside Profiles — which one is mine?
Each folder corresponds to a different Rockstar Social Club account that's been used on that PC. Check which one has the most recently modified files to identify your active profile.
The game loaded but shows my old progress, not 100% — what happened?
Rockstar's cloud sync most likely overwrote your local file. Disable cloud saves in the Rockstar Launcher settings, re-paste the save files, and relaunch offline to lock it in.
Can I replay story missions from the chapter select after loading this save?
Yes, completed missions can be replayed through the Progress menu's Mission Replay option — this save fully enables that for all chapters.
Which honor state is reflected in this save — high or low?
Honor is maxed at the positive end, so the high honor story resolution is what's reflected in this save.
Summary
There it is — RDR2 wrapped up clean, 100% on the tracker, Arthur's story done, Epilogue done, every collectable found and every stranger spoken to. This is the "just let me ride and enjoy the best open world ever made" save. Stash a copy of your existing profile folder first, paste the new one in, boot offline once to lock in the local save, and you're set. If Rockstar's cloud sync gives you grief pulling the old version back down, just disable it temporarily from the launcher settings — takes thirty seconds. After that, nothing between you and a fully cleared map of the American frontier.
