Later, I learned that wearing my bandana actually shortens the time on the “Wanted” meter. For those who don’t know, the Wanted meter appears after lawmen have identified a crime and are searching for the culprit. Low honor players know exactly what I’m talking ab

Events that players took part in get written about, and it’s interesting to read about them from a remote perspective. It is also a testament to the amount of detail developers put in this game if they have dynamic newspap

RDR2 takes us back to the year 1899, 34 years after slavery was repealed in the United States of America. The discriminating attitudes still remain of course, and there are those who would have preferred to keep humans as property, but now the law prohibits them from doing

Midnight’s pistol is the fancier of the two, but this pistol is crazy good. It has one of the highest rates of fire out of any weapon in Red Dead Redemption 2. If you need it, the gunsmith has you covered so don’t worry about it. In terms of damage, it can take someone out in two shots even from a fair distance which is super helpful in tight situations so it is definitely worth the investm

Red Dead Online has a unique spin on the “Dead-Eye” ability. While it doesn’t slow down time like in single-player, it is still a useful tool . Combat (such as “Dead Eye”) and passive abilities can be equipped through the use of Ability Cards. These abilities include things like painting your targets, dealing more damage, or regenerating health. Using Ability Cards properly can make the difference between life and death, therefore, it is essential to use them whenever possi

Of course, one of the best things to do in Red Dead Redemption 2 is to go find some treasure à la Indiana Jones. There are several treasure maps that will lead you to stashes all around this extensive world. Read on if you want a guide to all the known treasure maps in Red Dead Redemptio

This pistol weapon is in a similar boat to the Varmint Rifle. The reload speed and rate of fire are pretty good but the damage is weak. When hunting prey, especially small to moderate animals, surely it is best to get them in one clean shot so the pelt has minimal damage and you don’t have to chase after the animal. Plus, this means the hunt is as easy and quick as possible while hopefully earning you more ki

While this weapon does have some decent accuracy and reload speed, its damage really lets you down. This weapon is mostly used for hunting down medium to large prey and can help you out in a shootout with a large group, but you will most likely have something better on you for fighting. It seems to be a waste to just have a weapon for primarily hunting animals instead of a multi-purpose weapon that can hunt and fight inst

That especially hurt for two reasons: one, Arthur Morgan can’t just end Micah right after that, even though I really wanted to, and second, I had spent so much time petting local dogs and cats that Micah’s actions seemed to erase all the time I had spent giving them a pat – by the way, you can give every dog in this game a good ol’

One of the most affecting examples of this for my playthrough in Red Dead Redemption 2 was when I came across a house after finishing a race with a stranger. I went into the house curious if there was anything inside, such as the seemingly endless amount of cigarette cards. Inside, there was a father and son having a tense confrontation over the father’s wasteful habits that caused his wife to leave them. While leaving, the boy discovered my hiding place and ran to his room. The father pulled out a gun, so I naturally killed him and proceeded to loot the location as muscle memory kicked in for every other location in the game.

[pullquote]”The trend of characters who kill or have killed only have to take a moment to acknowledge that what they did was bad and not actively work towards helping others to be considered okay is so tired.”[/pullquote]

In Red Dead Redemption 2 Missions Dead Redemption 2 Rockstar attempted to take that statement and remove the mocking tone, presenting the fall of Dutch Van der Linde and the dissolution of his gang as a great tragedy, much like the death of the Old West. They found a way to turn the bad into good, and even then not so convincingly.

Taking control of an all-new protagonist – Arthur Morgan – players had to resist the lure of Blackwater following a heist-gone-wrong, and instead explore the rest of the available map. Thankfully it was an expansive and living open world, allowing you to sit down for a game of Dominoes with your fellow campmates when you needed a break from the chaos, or slip on a bandana before robbing a train if you’re feeling up for the challe

With so much to do, you’d be forgiven for not uncovering each and every hidden gem contained within the game (especially so now that attention is being diverted to the brilliant Red Dead Online beta that’s currently underway). This is where we step
