So, compared to all the other things that happen in RDR 2 , this one gets a bit intense. Abandon your life as a bandit and take on one of tracking a serial attacker. If you head north of Strawberry, you will encounter the remains of a cor

On the second level of this creepy home, you’ll see a light in one of the rooms’ windows. Climb on top of a nearby cart and then climb click through the up coming page the window. Here, you will discover the manmade mutant, which seems like a weird art piece of some sort. But by

Now, before anyone complains, I will admit that the Varmint Rifle is great for dealing with, well, varmints. Taking out small wildlife requires a delicate touch, and this is what said rifle provides. What it does not provide is the firepower to take down bounty hunters, gang members, or lawmen. The weapon does less than half the damage that the Springfield and Bolt-Action rifles do. About the only thing it has going for it is that it’s got a fast fire rate and a good-sized magazine. However, you’ll need that if you’re going to fire enough lead to down anyb

The game is well known by now, but for those who don’t know the story, the game follows the event before the original game. Set near the time where cowboys and the gangs they ran with were set to fall, the game follows Arthur Morgan, a member of the Dutch Van der Linde gang, as he sets out to make a name for himself and explore the vast regions of the Old West; however, among the fictitious states of the game and new (and returning) characters, the game is filled to the brim with some truly incredible nugg

Following on from the last entry, here’s another really handy little timesaver. If you’re deep in menus, as it’s very easy to be in Red Dead Redemption 2 , you don’t need to manually back out of each individual one. Instead, the easiest way to get out of them is to simply hold down Circle/B, instead of tapping it. This drags you all the way out of them, returning you to gameplay instantly. Quite why the game doesn’t tell you this, I have no i

If you think that regular dynamite is good, with its ability to shred enemies and leave them screaming messes, you’ve not tried its volatile cousin. To craft this weapon, you’ll need a stick of dynamite, a high-velocity cartridge, and animal fat. The rewards are well worth the effort, however: it does even more damage than regular dynamite and also has a wider area of effect. It can blow up anything standing in your way, just be careful when using

Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best shotguns I’ve ever used in recent years, and chief among them (at least in terms of standard weapons), is the pump-action. Packing a ridiculous amount of punch, whether loaded with regular ammo or slugs, it’s also got a fairly decent range on it. The fire rate is good, and if you get a shot in on someone’s head or one of their limbs, then uh…things aren’t looking at all good for t

One thing that stands out in most Old Western games has to be the classic treasure hunt. Out of nine maps, the first you can find in the Jack Hall Gang treasure map side quests comes from a fellow treasure hunter named Max

Say you’re robbing a stagecoach or a train, one thing you really don’t want to happen is for you to lose your horse. Trying to make a quick getaway on foot is nigh-on impossible, and can be extraordinarily fatal if you’re being pursued by enough lawmen to arrest a whole county. There’s an easy solution: just hold up on the D-pad, and your horse will follow you along as you rob and slaughter your way about. Then, when you’ve got your cash, get off, jump on your horse, and hightail it into the sun

A bloody shootout through the streets of Valentine forces the group to move on, leading to the discovery of a considerable amount of gold possessed by the dueling Gray and Braithwaite families in the town of Rhodes. The gang works to play both families in an effort to eventually obtain the gold, but wind up getting played themselves, with John Marston’s son, Jack, getting kidnapped. Jack is eventually rescued, but the gang gets double-crossed in the process, causing Dutch to decline even more in his thoughtfulness and strategy. He plans a bank heist that doesn’t go at all as planned, resulting in Marston being captured, as well as the deaths of two of the more high-profile characters of the gang, including Dutch’s best friend. In an attempt to escape the law (and everyone else who wants them dead) the gang hops a ride on a tanker ship headed to C

While you can unlock fast travel fairly early on by upgrading your tent, the game does have a pseudo-fast travel system built in. If you set a custom waypoint on your map, switch to cinematic view, and then set your horse running by holding down X/A, the horse will make its way to the waypoint. You don’t need to even hold the button down. You can go and make a cup of tea/coffee if you like, and when you come back, your horse should be at the destinat
