But it doesn’t have to be. Throughout the game there are many interesting side quests you can partake in, many of which don’t take too long and pay quite handsomely. But there are also those quests that don’t pay at all, or pay very little in return for the necessary amount of work. Sure, they can fun through a gameplay or story perspective, but they are next to useless if your goal is acquiring mo

Dutch, a man with a vision who becomes a lunatic with no moral compass. Sadie, who starts the game as a sort of victim and proves by the end to be the most dedicated and strongest member of the group. We even get more insight into John Marston (even Arthur makes fun of the fact that he can’t swim, which is meta and genius). To have non-lead characters with arcs more interesting than most games leads really says so much about this g

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

It also showed the true scope of the game, as you could harass anyone in the game and get a reaction. In game worlds normally full of dead, blank, lifeless NPCs and canned interactions, that is the one aspect that truly showed how huge in scale RDR2 truly is. And outside of showing the impressive scale of the game, it was just incredibly funny. Here’s hoping every single game that comes out henceforth has an antagonize but

We hate to encourage gambling, but it really is a hassle-free way to earn some quick cash. Blackjack and poker are not only fun, but they’re also quite easy to learn. And while many locations don’t exactly pay out the big bucks, you can go to Saint Denis and buy into a poker game for $5. If you’re particularly adept at the game (and if you can best the AI,) then you can walk away with some decent money. Sure, it won’t be enough to retire on, but it’s an easy, fun, and relatively risk-free way to earn some quick cash. Provided you’re a good poker player, of cou

Whenever you see an animal on your hunt, simply steady your study on them and adjust your equipment to match what the blurb suggest you hunt them with. Keep in mind that your equipment not only has to be exact, you need to aim for a clean kill without damaging the animal too m

The handful of people who know about this trick right now feel like Gods in this game, and for good reason. Lasso griefers are the worst thing about Red Dead Redemption 2 updates Dead Online . They somehow thinking lassoing you makes them some Joker-like deity that decides who lives, dies, or stays tied up in purgatory in the back of their horses. While you can hit buttons to break free once lassoed, do you know how to keep yourself from ever being lassoed? We do. It’s called a knife, and should be pretty easy to figure out (though very few ha

Geology for Beginners is a stranger mission given to you by the maybe time-traveling Francis Sinclair, who tasks you with finding various rock carvings. Unlike the dreaded dinosaur bones which take forever, this is over in no time at all. After finding just one carving, you are paid $10 (and a bottle of bourbon). And after five, you are given a rock statue which can be sold to a fence for $50. All told, you are given a cool $60 after finding just five rock carvings, which shouldn’t take very long (provided you use a guide.) Plus you get to see all the trippy engravings, so it’s a win-

The average Red Dead player probably does not realize that giving the local Saint Denis Times a peek is a worthwhile task as the game’s newspapers show how the outside world looks upon the Van der Linde Gang’s doi

For every can of beans you feed your virtual avatar, you’re throwing away precious money that can be placed into your wallet. Sell your food, don’t eat them. Sometimes you might need to eat in order to actually survive, but… don’t. It’s counterintuitive, but it’s an easy way to make money. If you want to eat, get ready to be poor. Online’s weirdly realistic, isn’t

Red Dead Redemption II might actually have one of the easiest fishing mini-games in the entire medium. Traditionally, a fishing mini-game requires quite a bit of effort on the player’s end, but Rockstar decided to go easy on our thumbs. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing as it means you can catch fish online incredibly fast. Regardless of which fish you catch, you’ll find yourself with more than enough soggy critters to trade into the butcher, earning you a respectable payday from just lounging ab

You would think anyone who has ever played a PVP game online would know crouching ensures more safety, yet every time we play a PVP match, everyone is red but us. Suffice it to say, it makes ranking top in leaderboards far less difficult than it should be. Also, though it should be obvious to all by now, Red Dead Redemption Online ‘s shotgun is insane, and if you are playing with any other gun, you will probably lose, as it is a one-hit-kill for everyone online. Now saving up for the shotgun? Well, good luck with that, honestly. Only 600 hours of grinding required, no big d
