If you haven’t finished both Red Dead Redemption 2 Updates Dead Redemption 1 and 2 , then put down this article and either go play them or find a Let’s Play video to watch, because today we’re going to be delving into major spoilers for both games. If you’re ready to dive in, come join us while we talk about 10 tributes RDR2 made to the original Red Dead Redempti

RDR2 being a prequel to RDR has allowed for Rockstar to make a tremendous amount of call forwards, deliberately ensuring that playing RDR after its sequel will have more of an impact. One of these bits of foreshadowing happens when John is missing in a snowstorm at the beginning of the game, and Arthur and Javier are sent out to look for

Ah, camping; the age-old tradition of hiding out of sight until an unfortunate enemy draws near and then BAM, easy kill. While often a great way to ensure your survival, it is also sure to encourage some horrible reactions from other play

Dead Eye was the incredibly popular game mechanic introduced as far back as Red Dead Revolver that made everyone feel like a true gunslinger. Once activated, time would slow down and the player could pick off several enemies in one sequence, or even disarm people. This gained even wider traction in RDR , and now it’s back. Now, you can activate it any time while slowly pulling the trig

The second half is located at the home of a hermit who lives at the very west end of the map. Follow the Little Creek River until you reach its tip. Her home should be right there. Careful though. You will have to deal with not only the hermit woman, but the three dogs she sets upon you. Once you’ve cleaned house, search the drawers of the place and find the second half of the Torn Treasure Map. The completed map leads you to New Austin. There is a cave west of Twin Rocks near Rattlesnake Hollow. Inside, you’ll find a collection of dubious treas

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

As we mentioned above, in battle royale mode players can be marked for standing still too long. It is also possible to reveal yourself by firing your weapon. When a player does this, they will be displayed on the map as a red dot , showing everyone exactly where you are. This can be extremely useful in getting an easy kill, or multiple kills, as quite often several players will converge on that location. On the other hand, if you are the one who has revealed yourself, it is best to move from that location quickly. It is also important to hold your fire until you are guaranteed a hit, or else you risk exposing yours

Hunting them means you can approach the ‘Feral Man’ (as he’s described in-game), and it’ll be up to you what to do with him. Just make sure you read the diary inside the cave he calls his home to discover exactly why he is the way he

If you’re reading through each and every staff member’s Game of the Year lists, it’s pretty likely that most, if not almost all of them will include both God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 at the forefront (assuming they played them). I’m falling straight into that trend – but you have to admit that there is an astonishing reason behind it. Both of these games are absolute masterworks, built detail-by-detail in order to transcend the normal experience of an open world game.

The original game was always a touch ambiguous about how John won his facial scars. Aside from a voice clip that happens when John attempts to fight wolves in the first game with a knife, players were left to speculate as to what animal did that to him. This is confirmed in RDR2 to have in fact come from a close encounter with a wolf pack. After Arthur and Javier track John in the Grizzlies, they come across a perished horse and tons of evidence of a fight, and then a wolfpack as they come off the mounta

By the time we first meet Dutch in the first game, he’s a shell of a man still fighting uselessly against the march of civilization. A single glance at him might still reveal a glimmer of a great man worthy of John’s loyalty, but many players found it difficult to understand how John could have followed such an obvious madman. RDR2 answers this by presenting a much more lucid Dutch at the beginning of the narrative, still filled with his trademark charm and wit. As the story continues and pressures mount, we witness Dutch slipping towards his inevitable heartbreaking fall into madn

There are plenty of little huts and shacks to explore if you’re brave enough to travel off the beaten track, but one, in particular, has clearly been home to a witch! Inside, there’s a bubbling cauldron full of mysterious liquid that the player is able to cons

While it may be fun and immersive to play the campaign in first person mode, it is a great way to die online. The field-of-vision is far too limited to be practical. By zooming out, you can be sure you’re seeing as much of your surroundings as possible, while simultaneously limiting the possibility of an enemy getting the jump on
