2. One Member Must Drive The Stagecoach
One member of the posse must be driving the stagecoach while going to the bank. Coordinate with your team who will drive to the bank while who will be staying inside the coach.
5. Some Members Must Stay Outside Of The Vault
Make sure that only a maximum of two members enter the vault with the manager. Since this is part of the security protocol, the manager will immediately become suspicious if all of you enter.
7. Blowing Up The Safe Is Much Faster
As soon as the bank manager is killed, you will immediately be wanted for murder. Law enforcement will start showing up. Blowing up the safe is much faster than cracking the safe so it is recommended to blow it up to save some time.
7. Get Away From The Blast Zone To Avoid Taking Damage
Once you've planted the dynamite, make sure to clear the area before blowing up the explosives. Since dynamite does a ton of damage to an area of effect, it would be best if you created some distance from the dynamite to avoid taking severe damage.

1~9. You Have A Limited Number Of Team Lives
Make sure to watch your team's back and vice-versa. You only have two team lives during this mission, meaning that you will only be allowed 2 respawns as a team before less rewards and penalties are given.
1~2. Wait For The Group To Get Into The Stagecoach
Before leaving for the cemetery, make sure that the whole posse is in the stagecoach and ready to go. Check your map to see if there are any members left. Leaving with the whole team will make sure that no one has to face a ton of lawmen by themselves.
4~7. Use Cover To Avoid Attacks
Cover will be very useful when facing multiple lawmen. Hiding behind cover will keep you safe from incoming fire directly in front of you. Pop out of cover and fire back only when the enemy stops firing.
4~7. Push Forward By Moving From Cover To Cover
Make sure to move from cover to cover when heading to the cemetery. This keeps you very safe from incoming enemy fire. Make sure that you only push forward once you have cleared your immediate area of enemies.
4~7. Revive Downed Teammates To Maintain Team Lives
Prioritize reviving downed teammates after clearing the area of enemies. This will preserve the number of team lives that you have. Do not revive them when there are still enemies in the area as this will expose you to their attacks.
4~7. Use Minimap To Check Lawmen Locations
You can check your minimap to see the locations of the enemies in your area. If you see that there is an enemy on one of your flanks, you may want to find new cover to avoid getting hit!
