Red Dead Redemption 2 DLC Dead Redemption 2 has been out for nearly two months, and it is still one of the most talked about games. (Unless you’re talking about Fallout 76 and complaining about how terrible it’s running.) The reason Red Dead Redemption 2 has been on our minds for so long is that it has so much to do. There are so many side missions and Easter Eggs for fans to find in the world. I have had the game for so long, and I still can’t seem to put it d

The holidays are upon us, which means that most of us are obligated to spend hours of time with our families. I kid, I kid. We all can enjoy the time we spend with our family. However, if you’re like me, you are going to find it pretty difficult to tear yourself away from your video game console. It is no ordinary game that is taking up my time though. It is a vast open-world game with countless activities to complete on a daily basis. It has an immersive story, hilarious horse physics on occasion, and a chaotic online feature. You know what game I’m talking about, ri

After returning from Guarma, Arthur finds a letter written by Sadie guiding them to their new hideout. The only thing is, the Pinkertons have been scouring the area for a while. You’re telling us that NONE of the agents found that letter? The letter that was practically sitting next to the front d

Some wise online players figured out that sometimes (not all times), if you are crouched cooking, griefers actually cannot stop the cooking animation and they can’t seem to be able to harm or lasso you while you are in the proc

Leviticus Cornwall is the man responsible for sending the Pinkertons after the Van der Linde Gang. The Gang stole some of Cornwall’s property, and that started this giant feud between them. The feud comes to an abrupt end when Dutch confronts Cornwall near Saint De

Perhaps the most lauded aspect of the game is its story (aside from maybe the graphics). It’s a beautiful and heartbreaking tale about personal redemption, the end of the outlaw, and the changing American landscape of the late 19th century. At the heart of the story is Arthur Morgan, a violent man who eventually finds redemption (hence the title). It’s a fascinating story on its own, but it also serves as a prequel to the original game. Therefore, it needed to both tell a good story on its own and bridge the gap between 1899 and the events of Red Dead Redemption . And sometimes it stumbles on both accou

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

This is another really simple method that new online gamers or people new to Red Dead don’t know, but people are killing and hunting you because you are a giant dot on their menu (and a red one in PVP). But did you know that if you crouch when you run, it makes you a small, passive, gray dot on the mini-

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

On that note, this also means you should avoid buying upgrades as much as possible. This is a bit more problematic since upgrading your weapons will actively make the game a smoother experience, but this is a luxury we can’t afford. Literally. You’re better off saving your money and getting accustomed to the guns as they come. A skilled or talented player won’t need upgrades to play well. Does it eliminate your in-game identity even more so? Most definitely, but that’s just an unfortunate consequence of Rockstar’s online game des

The journal is a stellar hand-written chronicle of the game’s story and your influence woven together from the perspective of the game’s two leads. It is richly-detailed in an engrossing way that made me play around it. Instead of opening it when I had a chance, I made time for it.

It’s a rare and in-depth look that can be entirely ignored. This handwritten journal makes Arthur feel like a real man and breaks down the illusion of minute choices in Red Dead ’s world: Arthur’s character is predetermined. The honor system becomes a mechanic more so than a narrative pathway, unlike Mass Effect ’s infamous narrative decisions.

Although the main draw of the online component is the freedom of playing as your own character in the game’s overworld, there is a more organized set of multiplayer modes unified through the “series” moniker. In a “series” mode, you basically play through conventional competitive modes for mo
