You would think anyone who has ever played a PVP game online would know crouching ensures more safety, yet every time we play a PVP match, everyone is red but us. Suffice it to say, it makes ranking top in leaderboards far less difficult than it should be. Also, though it should be obvious to all by now, Red Dead Redemption Online ‘s shotgun is insane, and if you are playing with any other gun, you will probably lose, as it is a one-hit-kill for everyone online. Now saving up for the shotgun? Well, good luck with that, honestly. Only 600 hours of grinding required, no big d

Even though everyone more or less agrees that Grand Theft Online was an enormous disaster that squandered its great potential due to Rockstar’s incredibly poor economy driven by the need for Shark Cards, fans everywhere have basically given up pushing back against the rise of microtransactions in favor of just accepting life as it is. As a result, Red Dead Online is booming in popularity despite Rockstar having learned nothing from their last outing. If you’re one of the brave few trying to enjoy the game’s online half without giving into Gold Bars, you’re probably struggling, but that’s why we’re h

Go to any swamp on the map and just start going to town on alligators. Well, maybe not “to town” since the key to hunting is ensuring you get a perfect pelt each time, but the point is that alligators will fetch you quite the pretty penny. Slaughter as many alligators as you can (cleanly, of course,) and take them to the butcher for a handsome pay

If you’re yet to have the displeasure of meeting the Night Folk, you’re in for a treat when you do. By treat, we mean a bunch of weapon-wielding maniacs charging at you. Ride around the Bayou NWA area, and you’ll find a victim hanging from a tree. Take a closer look at the body, or shoot it down, and a bunch of these mutant attackers will come charging out of the woods. They’re skilled with their machetes, so be careful, and take them out quickly. Read the note on the victim and you’ll unlock a side miss

While in Rhodes, you unlock the ability to sell stolen horses to a horse fence. Do not do this. It is not worth the effort. Why? Because a basic stolen horse will net you maybe $2. If you want to increase the price, you’ll have to significantly bond with the horse, and this may take a few in-game days. And your reward will be a price increase from $2 to $5. Yay. Yes, you can make more money with rarer horses, but that includes both finding and taming them, which could also take a while. In the end, horse selling is a mug’s game and it’s not worth the time or effort invol

Without any surprise, I greatly want to warn those who have not played the game (what’s wrong with you???) that there will be SPOILERS aplenty, so read at your own caution. So let’s sift through this brilliant game and point out the things not so brilliant—and that just don’t plain make any sense whatsoever. Yeeee-

The moment you get lassoed, go into your weapon wheel and choose your melee knife. It cuts the lasso instantly, and if the lame griefer used it to try to get a closeup, clean headshot on you, you pop up and immediately stab them in the throat. There is little more gratifying in Red Dead Redemption 2 legendary animals Dead Redemption Online than hearing some griefer genuinely baffled and upset at how you just did t

Bounty hunting has returned from the first game, and while the bounties don’t seem as plentiful this time around, they still provide a decent income for the more morally inclined among us. There are a total of eleven bounty missions throughout the game, and they collectively pay $650. That’s roughly $60 per bounty, which is certainly not a bad take considering the limited amount of work involved. Plus, hunting down bad guys is always a good time. It may not be the fastest way to make money, but it’s honest work. Kind

That’s also not to mention how absolutely mind-bogglingly gorgeous this game is. The photorealistic visuals are mind-blowing when accompanied by those motion-capture performances of a lifetime. The star-studded cast of Bryan Dechart, Clancy Brown, Valorie Curry, Jesse Williams, and more perfectly brings each and every character to life to tell an enriched story of a very possible near-future. It’s a visually-appealing masterpiece.

It’s nice to see a Call of Duty game be fun again, and actually feel somewhat balanced. Blackout is another story – that mode absolutely sucks. Zombies becomes more and more complicated every year, so much so that I don’t feel like it’s a “casual mode” anymore. All I want is for me and my friends to jump into zombies and see how long we last, but the maps are too convoluted and you have to do a crap ton of objectives just to unlock the better weapons. I want Zombies from the original Black Ops back.

If you’d prefer to live a more honest life, then hunting is always an option. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay nearly as well as stealing wagons. Hunting animals is not only risky business, but it’s hard work. You have to find an animal, hope that it’s a nice three-star version, and then dispose of it cleanly. Then you have to skin it and ride it back to the butcher’s, all for maybe $10 in pelts and meat. In the time it takes you to hunt four perfect animals for $40 you could have stolen one wagon outside Emerald Ranch. Plus you get your clothes and your horse all messy, and who wants t
