These side missions usually take the form of aiding Albert Mason – from stolen bags to creating the best photo-ops. For a light-hearted and character heavy side mission, this one proves there is a lot of character progression even outside the main st

This next item is a bit curious, as its origins are unknown. Travel west along the southern path leading away from the Van Horne Trading Post and begin traveling north when you reach a fork in the r

Sometimes you’ll stroll onto someone’s property; it’s an honest mistake in the vast plains of Red Dead Redemption 2 which happens quite frequently. Sometimes you’ll be threatened, which is a fair enough response for a stranger wandering onto someone’s land. However, some people will invite you into their home out of the kindness of their hearts… or so we th

When you’re hunting animals, you want to get the best shots you can, as this will improve the quality of the pelts you get. The cleanest shots are straight to the head. Switch to dead eye, and aim for the head. Press square/X to call to the animal to get them to raise their head for a more direct line of fire. Make sure you use the right weapon for the job too. For animals the size of a rabbit, use the varmint rifle. For larger animals like deer, use a bow. There’s a guide for the weapons to use in your compend

Once you do, the map will update with your next location. Keep in mind, he’ll only show up late at night. Pop in around midnight and you’ll come face to face with the “vampire” Rockstar so lovingly included, and a unique weapon as a rew

After a gunfight, there’s always a lot of carnage. One part of this carnage are the bodies of your fallen foes. It may not be the best manners, but always loot them before you go on your merry way. You can often find useful items or valuables on them, that you can then sell at a fence. Just make sure to be quick: the law often make their way towards scenes of crimes, and you don’t want to get caught Red Dead Redemption 2 Endings-han

This next map is a bit difficult to find, since it happens on a chance encounter. Most notably found lurking at the top of a large rock to the northeast of Riggs Station, an older treasure hunter will hold the first map in the hunt; however, he is not willing to give up the map or sell it, so you’ll have to either rob him, tie him up, knock him down and make him drop the map so you can get it, or just end him permanently. Kind of dark, but there’s no other way to get this map in the g

You know in the tutorial, where your hat gets knocked off by an O’Driscoll? That makes it seem as though it’ll always be easy to find your hat. Not so. All too often I’ve ridden off into the sunset only to realize that Arthur now has a rapidly developing sunburn. You can always get it back though. Your horse doubles as a traveling haberdashery, and if you go into its L1/LB menu, you can find all your hats in the bottom ri

By being first this year, Activision is hoping to hook players on Black Ops 4 before they’ll ever even have the chance to holster a revolver in Red Dead . It’s essentially a reverse of the situation that I painted above. Plus, releasing first allows Black Ops 4 to dictate the conversation in gaming spaces for at least a few weeks before Red Dead drops like a piano onto a cartoon character.

I’m not the only one who’s been binge-watching old westerns since starting Red Dead 2 am I? No? Good! Well, you know how the characters often shoot into the air, firing off warning shots or clearing space using their shooting irons? You can do this too! Red Dead isn’t very good at telling you this, but it’s really easy. When you’re aiming, simply tap up on the D-pad, and Arthur will aim his gun into the air. You can make wildlife scatter, fire warning shots, and scare witnesses into stopping by doing

Rockstar isn’t shy about including supernatural creatures in their games. Past works have included aliens, zombies, Bigfoot, and now even vampires. This secret is a bit later in the game once you’ve unlocked the Saint-Denis locat

We’re in an unprecedented year where we’ll get to see gaming’s highest selling annual franchise face off against the developers behind history’s highest sold game. It’s going to be a fun fight to watch, but come October, I think I’ll put my money on the cowboy.

I’m used to video games allowing me, or rather my character, a greater level of physical prowess than I actually possess. Red Dead Redemption 2 , however, does a good job of making me feel like an uncoordinated loser ag

While the beauty of the great outdoors and the interaction with the stars themselves are incredible to behold in this game, not everyone who encounters these rocks from space are lucky to make it out in one piece. Another encounter with a meteor comes from the Roanoke Valley area. To the northeast of the “A” in “Roanoke Valley,” you’ll discover a home. Here, you will find inside the unpleasant remains of some people, where it appears a meteorite crashed into the home and decimated whoever was ins
