How the Honor system works

Your overall actions in the game may positively or negatively affect your honor. While you’re playing as an outlaw, it doesn’t mean you have to live a life like that. While living the life in crime has benefits, it’s still a lot more beneficial to lay low and play as an honorable outlaw. You’ll be able to move around freely, use establishments in towns, enjoy discounts, and pretty much have an easier time exploring the region without the risk of running into bounty hunters or lawmen.

The game will have a scale of -8 to +8, with 0 honor as neutral. Honorable actions increase this rank positively while dishonorable actions do the opposite. You can see this scale by pressing the down DPAD and you can also check your current honor rank’s benefits by accessing the Player option in the main menu.
