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 Online than hearing some griefer genuinely baffled and upset at how you just did t

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

In the prequel, Arthur Morgan can meet the remains of another enterprising man who had an abrupt encounter with the ground as well. This crashed airship just rests innocuously by itself, waiting for the exploring player to stumble upon it. Finding this guy made me reminisce about the first game so h

As the Mexican chapter wraps itself up with some dramatic and exciting set-pieces, and with Marston finally getting the better of Bill Williamson—a man he’s been chasing from the jump of the game—yet, all of the excitement sort of glosses over a important fact—why and how has Williamson been hiding with Captain De Santa this whole t

Due to the infamous ferry robbery, no one from the Van der Linde gang is allowed to step foot in Blackwater. However, no one there should know about the women. It’s established that the ladies of the Van der Linde gang do not partake in the heists, and therefore, the law should not know of their identities. And even if they know their names, they wouldn’t know their fa

It’s possible that she just wanted attention from Dutch, but she knows that he is dangerous and that revealing such information is bound to end badly for her. She wasn’t in her right mind, but she’s not stupid. While this was a devastating scene, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense in hindsi

Also, with a white flag hoisted in your camp, no one can attack. But they can see you and wanna kill you, so do what we do. Set up a camp near Saint Denis (high population, high traffic), and then go cook yourself dinner (in real life, in your actual kitchen) and come back to check now and then that 23 players are circling, waiting for you to tear down camp, lasso in hands. After about 30 minutes, they will wander off, one by one, and you will feel oddly satisfied inside that you wasted their time while not wasting your

Quick aside, first and foremost the best advice we can give is try to create or join a private session with like-minded players. Though difficult, it is possible and can make for a much more enjoyable collected experie

The Cigarette Cards. Oh, man the Cigarette cards. These are absolutely impossible to collect in any sort of organized fashion. You’ll just happen upon them now and again on your travels as you loot houses. But, if you want to collect them all for 100% completion or something, this absolutely sti

In one of the early missions of red Dead redemption 2 locations Dead Redemption 2 , Arthur takes Jack fishing because John is an absentee father and wants nothing to do with his son. This being a Rockstar game, things inevitably go wrong. Agents Ross and Milton show up to offer Arthur amnesty in exchange for Dutch. Of course, Arthur refuses, but it begs the question – why didn’t they just follow him back to camp? It’s, like, a two-minute ride away. Or better yet, why approach Arthur at all? Why not just observe him from a distance and follow him back to camp? They’re just delaying the inevitable for no rea

And if you let your character go a bit too long without bathing, people will take notice. If you walk around covered in dirt, grime, blood, or any other from of filth people will take notice and avoid

This mission has some of the most unique characters in RDR2 . It’s found around the Van Horn Trading Post where you’ll stop a man named Bertram from choke-slamming a bartender. Turns out he’s a sweetheart that works with a woman named Marjorie who’s looking for her other employee, Magnif

Throughout the game, it’s established that the gang can never go back to Blackwater due to their notoriety and the insane prices on their heads. So, why couldn’t they just pay off the bounty and walk back in? It seems that everything has a price in this game, including morality. You can wipe out an entire city, pay some money, and walk right back in like nothing ever happened. Well, that’s just what the Van der Linde gang did in Blackwater, yet apparently, their crimes were so foul that they went beyond bounties. Why is destroying Blackwater so much worse than destroying Saint De

And speaking of tuberculosis, how is it that Arthur didn’t infect a single person? TB is a very contagious disease that spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and only a few droplets of spit are required for infection. And, in case you weren’t paying attention, Arthur is hacking all over the place by the end of the story. Yet no one became sick. The epilogue catches us up on various characters’ fates, and not a single one of them has passed from tuberculosis. It’s possible that the disease is latent in some of them, but that’s just speculation. It’s a miracle that no one became infected after Arthur coughed all over the c
