Tips / Tricks Known XP Bonuses
If I missed any please PM me! They are ordered by most XP awarded to least, then alphabetically. When you skin/pluck an animal you receive the same XP as killing it, but it doesn't show on the right side of the screen. This is the same for small animals you put straight into your Satchel. There is currently no XP for fishing besides Challenges and Awards.
| Name | Description | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Ambush Cleared | Clear out an Ambush. There is a Random Encounter where a man asked for a ride. Then he pulls a gun on you. Kill him and this is considered an Ambush! Some Encounters may bring more enemies. | 150 |
| Hideout Cleared | Clear out a Bandit Hideout. | 150 |
| Downed | Down a Player. | 25 |
| Kill (Player) | Kill a Player. | 25 |
| Knockout (Player) | Stealth kill a Player by coming up behind them and hitting Circle/B to choke. | 25 |
| Kill (Predator) | Kill an Alligator, Panther, Bear, etc. On The Hunt mission animals excluded. | 15 (x2 if skinned) |
| Eyes Wide Shut | Kill an opponent by hip-firing (no L2/LT). | 10 |
| Execution | Close range killing animation with any weapon done by hitting R2/RT while close or after a tackle. Choking counts. | 10 |
| Kill (Medium and Large Game) | Kill any Medium or Large Game or Medium or Large Birds. | 10 (x2 if skinned/plucked or placed directly in your Satchel) |
| Melee | Kill an opponent with your fists. Kicking, too! Aren't there also headbutts? | 10 |
| Road Kill | Kill an opponent by running them over with a horse or train. | 10 |
| Assist | Damage a Player before another Player finishes them off. | 5 |
| Avenge Horse | Kill the Player who killed your Horse. | 5 |
| Dead Eye | Kill an opponent with Dead Eye active. Running someone over with a train also gives you this bonus. | 5 |
| Death From Beyond | Kill an opponent after you have died. Either by throwing Dynamite or setting a fire before death. | 5 |
| Death Rider | Kill an opponent while on horseback. | 5 |
| Disarm | Shoot the weapon out of an NPC's hand. | 5 |
| Distance | Kill an opponent while outside your gun's lock-on range. | 5 |
| Headshot | Kill an opponent with a head shot. | 5 |
| Kill (Enemy) | Kill an enemy NPC. Animals apart of missions (like On The Hunt) included. | 5 (+15 when you skin a Legendary Alligator or Bear for "On The Hunt") |
| Kill (Small Game) | Kill any small game or birds. Animals which go straight in your Satchel, with no skinning/plucking, do indeed give you the x2 bonus once place in your Satchel. | 5 (x2 if skinned/plucked or placed directly in your Satchel) |
| Kill Bonus | This one is most likely a placeholder for future XP Bonuses. This pops when you kill a kill leader, a kill rival, end a killstreak, kill from a train, with a train, and others. It is also the only XP Bonus unaffected by the 20% XP bonus event. It is always 5 XP. | 5 |
| Knockout | Knockout an enemy instead of killing. Get close and hit Circle/B with any weapon besides the bow or a melee weapon. | 5 |
| Last Chance | Kill an opponent with the last bullet in your gun before reloading. | 5 |
| Merciless | Kill an opponent while they're hogtied. | 5 |
| Revenge | Kill a Player who has just killed you. | 5 |
| Saddle Sore | Kill an opponent while they're on horseback. | 5 |
| Special Ammo | Kill an opponent with anything but normal ammo (Split Point, Explosive, Slugs, Express, High Velocity, etc). | 5 |

I’m pretty sure you get extra xp for plucking/skinning. Check yr xp lvl before and after skinning and it’s there. Ah sorry I think I misunderstood yr table?

Thanks but it's mentioned in the chart and introduction. It's a very sneaky XP bonus, though!

Might be going crazy because its been a few weeks since i played but, do you cant anything extra for being on a train and killing from the train?
2
u/SmurfinGTA Mar 30 '19
Great question! I actually have this noted down and need to test it.
Killing while both on the train.
Killing while on the train and the enemy isn't.
Killing while the enemy is on the train and you're not.
Running a Player over while driving the train.

Really cool results! No new XP bonuses but we found out killing from a train gives the Kill Bonus worth 5 XP. Running someone over with a train gives Dead Eye, Road Kill, and Kill Bonus. Dead Eye is probably a glitch. Road Kill works. And Kill Bonus is probably a placeholder for a future name.

There's a "Horse Revenge" one as well, for killing a player that just killed your horse. Gives as much XP as the regular Revenge one, iirc.

u/SmurfinGTA Apr 01 '19
Excellent! That's a really good one, thank you. After searching I found it's called "Avenge Horse".

Birds are 10 xp

u/SmurfinGTA Mar 30 '19
Aren't the small ones your put in your Satchel 5 XP?

u/skwolf522 Mar 30 '19
Have to double check but I believe small. Birds are still worth 10xp. The ones you put in your satchel.

u/SmurfinGTA Apr 01 '19
I was able to verify there are small birds worth 5 XP. And the birds which go straight in your Satchel with no plucking doesn't give any extra XP.

u/skwolf522 Apr 01 '19
Awesome. I normally don't bother with them. But ravens and birds you pluck I always try to shoot.

Last chance = last bullet in magazine makes kill

I think you overlooked it, but it's there! Thank you anyways.
I used to think the XP bonus was for shooting hats off. But there should totally be one.

Thieves Landing is still the best spot for XP farming.
25 XP/kill normally (Kill, Death Rider, Dead Eye, Special Ammo, Headshot)30 XP when it's the last bullet (above + Last Chance)
30/35 XP when they're on their horse and the above are true.
are there any other good XP farming spots I'm not aware of?
