Red Dead Redemption 2 Online How to Tell if a Mission Increases or Decreases Honor

When taking on Stranger Missions in Red Dead Online you can see whether you will increase or decrease honor by taking a mission.  Stranger Missions are the pinkish color missions on the open world map.  When you reach one of these icons you will find a stranger that is willing to give you work.  When you approach this person you can interact with them like other things in the game.  Pressing the LT/L2 trigger will start the interaction and you’ll be able to see what type of mission they are looking to give you.  What you’ll want to look at when accepting a Stranger Mission to determine whether it will increase or decrease honor is the icon next to the button prompt to accept the mission.  If the icon is red this is a mission that will decrease your honor.  If the mission icon is white it is a mission that will increase your honor.
