Completely free and a well-rounded sniper rifle? Count me in! This rifle is not to be messed with. Not only is its accuracy 3.4/4, but it has the damage to match. It has an almost equal level range as well, which almost makes up for the slow reload and rate of fire. Your enemies had better quake in their boots if they see you rolling up the block with this rifle because you are about to kick some cowboy behind. I haven’t come across another weapon this powerful yet and it blows my mind (I’m sure your enemies will feel the same soon enou

Normally, humungous AAA open-world games have aspects and mechanics fighting for my attention. Some may be quest-lines about how to hunt the rarest animals or time trials for rare loot or getting 100% map completion for a super secret message at the end: it’s only by the end that I truly know my favorite element of the entire experience. For Red Dead Redemption 2 , I knew almost immediately. That journal is special, and I hope you remember to open it up once in a while.

In the open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 , you are given the ability to choose an honorable path or dishonorable one: essentially you can try to be good or bad. Choosing to be honorable means saving women from kidnappings, helping the law bring in bounties, saving civilians from other gangs, and helping strangers in danger who appear along the roadside. Being dishonorable means killing the law and helping criminals, killing strangers, stealing from civilians, and mostly killing in general.

I know this game is old-school, but this is going too far. Sure, this weapon has power and accuracy, but humanity upgraded to swords and guns for a reason. The range is not great and neither is the rate of fire. If you want to go around feeling like a hunter from another era, go ahead and more power to you; I’ll just be over here with my rifles minding my own business and doing more damage on the

By the time I reached Arthur’s final decision, one in which you can once again engage in a contradiction by attempting to steal the gang’s stash instead of aiding John Marston in his escape, I was already finished. Arthur’s death was just another bump in the road in discovering what exactly the epilogue held, as the mystery over who you would play as was much greater than seeing the closing scenes of a character I was done with many hours before.

Now, this bad boy is crazy fun to use. The Maxim Gun packs a real punch and is basically a cowboy minigun. When you get to use it, you absolutely dominate the fight and it feels amazing. However, the problem is that the Maxim Gun is so rare you barely get to use

Whether you’ve seen the credits roll on Arthur Morgan’s story, or you’ve skipped everything and jumped straight online, Red Dead Redemption 2 ‘s 32-player battle royale mode can be a steep challenge. Otherwise known as “Make it Count,” the mode features the now-familiar BR formula of a shrinking map and only one victor. This mode, however, is unique from other popular BR modes, such as those seen in Fortnite or Call of Du

These rock piles look to be part of some kind of ceremonial pattern. Forget about the mystery of the rock piles though. You’re there for the treasure. Inside the center rock pile, you will find the third Jack Hall Treasure

While we have already touched on how amazing it is to see Arthur and the gang evolve and devolve, in this case, I literally mean NPCs. Never in gaming have NPCs been this, for lack of a better term, re

Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled to the brim with fun activities . In fact, more than the narrative (which is thrilling all on its own), the open-world environment is what draws gamers in to play and enjoy the game. You can fish, play poker, hunt, craft , shop, collect cards, and more, all to your heart’s cont

These epilogues and the rest of your time in the game end up being a taste of the life fans of the series have wished for from John’s story. It’s a small taste of peace and happiness before the cycle begins anew from what we saw in the original Red Dead Redemption . Arthur’s journal being passed to John helps facilitate this all-too-brief period of happiness in his life.

There were things I was discovering in the epilogue I never experienced in the game itself. The fishing and hunting is so deep and varied, it could be its own game and one that would warrant a full price purchase. So the fact that those tasks are optional here tells you just how perfect and realized the old west is in this g

This meta-acknowledgement that Arthur is, after all, just a video game character for the player to control is also a signal that Arthur desires a different life. In his journal , Arthur writes about the conflict of good and evil within him, and envies how easy it seems to be for others, like Charles, to be good. However, the Arthur who exists in those small conversations and in the journal is a separate entity from the one in the game that you control. That Arthur won’t help strangers without the promise of payment. Main missions continually task you with destroying others for your own potential benefit. Arthur will sometimes offer limp verbal disagreement to the actions and decisions of the gang, but it is not until late in Chapter 5 that he actually begins to actively pursue altruism: helping others simply for the sake of it.
