Otherwise, the safe will still be empty upon return. This means players can go back and profit from them as many times as they want, but only after leaving the area and travelling a certain distance between each safe crack. On rare occasions a Pardon Letter can be found inside. Safes usually contain up to 500 dollars, so they can be quite useful for getting rich quick. Players should keep this in mind if they are planning on robbing a bank, because lawmen will be everywhere. If the player is already wanted by the law, they will be unable to crack a safe until losing their wanted level. Normal safes contain three money saches, a Cattleman Revolver and, rarely a Pardon Letter.Ĭracking a safe results in a loss of honor for the player, unless the bandana is worn. If all three numbers are reached successfully, the safe opens and the contents are provided to the player. If the player makes an error, they must begin again from the start. The player must then rotate the dial to the left and right again, stopping each time the controller vibrates. An on-screen cue of a lock opening will signify that the first number has been found. From there, they must rotate it to the right until the controller vibrates and then stop. The player must start by setting the dial to zero. Doing so initiates the safe cracking mini game. When in front of such a safe, the player will be prompted to press a button to begin the cracking attempt.
Certain safes found within the game are able to be cracked by the player.
