Before giving players time to mourn the ending of the main game, they are suddenly thrown back into the story and very suddenly into John’s shoes. We follow the Marston family 8-ish years after the events of the main story, trying to live a normal and prosperous life. During the events of the Epilogue, we get to see Beecher’s Hope go up piece by piece. This includes the infamous barn. After finishing the Epilogue story, many players felt that this could be Rockstar’s attempt to give John a playable afterl

As fun as it may seem to throw haymakers at your friends, hand-to-hand combat is not ideal for BR. Much like a throw-down at your local watering hole, fist fights are noisy, attract a lot of attention, and don’t usually turn out as planned. Knocking someone out with your fists also takes far too long and therefore should only be used as a last resort . With the attention that you will draw, it also makes it too easy for other players to find you and pick you off from a distance, even if you do win the fi

Dutch’s “You can’t fight gravity” speech is one of the most memorable in gaming. After a long and grueling chase all over the United States to track down the last of his gang, John finally confronts his former mentor, only to listen to a heartbreaking monologue about how you can’t fight your nature. In RDR2 , after picking a fight with the US Army, Dutch makes nearly the same speech but instead uses it as a way to clue Arthur in on his escape p

During your play-through, you may notice that Arthur Morgan has many dream sequences. In these dreams, he usually sees either a coyote or a deer. Depending on your honor system you will see one or the ot

While games like Fornite focus heavily on sound to alert players of nearby enemies or loot, Red Dead Online has a different approach. As if the game wasn’t tense enough, players will notice their controller begin to vibrate rhythmically as players draw near. This is a fantastic tool to alert you to enemies that may be just out of your line of sight. Use this to your advantage whenever possible. Just remember, if you’re moving and feel a vibration, the other player probably feels it,

Arthur gets captured by the O’Driscolls and has to fight his way out. Was there any way they could have prepared better? Probably not. What they should have done was ignored Micah’s suggestion that they meet and just not fall for the trap in the first pl

During the Epilogue, John is forced to take up his guns and mount his horse in order to go after a small gang of bandits who are threatening the farm he works for. Abigail disapproves, terrified that she might be about to lose John. John, however, must use his less than savory skills to defend their livelihood and ends up cornering the last bandit in the barn. While the man screams all sorts of threats at John, the player is treated to an in-game recreation of the cover of the first game, with John glaring down the barrel of a

Rockstar has implemented a sneaky feature that discourages camping of any kind. Basically, when a player is stationary for too long, the game will broadcast your location to every other player in the match. That’s one sure-fire way to get yourself kil

While horses are an excellent way to get around in RDR2 , they are far less useful when it comes to BR modes. While it may give you an advantage in the speed department, it is not worth the attention you will draw. Add in the fact that being on horseback makes you a much larger target, this is not a strategy we can suggest. When necessary, a horse can be useful to get out of tight situations but riding it directly into battle can be fa

I thought the Gang was strapped for cash. (That’s why I spent so much of my money on donations to the camp.) Where is Strauss getting the money to loan if the entire Gang is not doing too well in terms of fund

If you’re a Grand Theft Auto Online player (as much of the darn known universe has been over the years), you’ll know that, outlaw or not, you’ve got to work for your money. You can’t just boot the game up for the first time and rule the criminal underworld right from the start. It’s a rags to ill-gotten-riches st

Rockstar Games has been no stranger to adding Bigfoot into their games. We already know that Bigfoot exists in the Red Dead Redemption 2 trophies Dead Redemption universe thanks to the first game where it featured a talking Bigf

In a dark reference to an event 16 years into the future, as Agent Ross is leaving with Agent Milton after a tense stand-off with Arthur, Ross makes a snide comment to a three-year-old Jack Marston. “Enjoy your fishing while you still can!” he snarks as he walks away. This ends of being an ironic statement when Jack avenges his father’s unfair end by ambushing Ross while he himself is enjoying post-retirement fish

Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s smash hit sequel to their beloved story about a former outlaw hunting down his old game. What’s more is that RDR2 is also a prequel to the original game, which allows for Rockstar to insert as many tributes and foreshadowing into the new story as they please. Well, boy did they deliver! This time around, you play as Arthur Morgan, the Van der Linde gang lieutenant who witnesses the twilight days of John’s infamous former gang and must make hard choices concerning just who and what he is loyal
