Now if you want to sell some stolen goods, wagons are a great investment. You can sell stolen wagons to the fence in Emerald Ranch, and lucky for you, the roads near the ranch are absolutely littered with wagons. All you need to do is camp out in the grass, wait for a wagon to spawn (which may only take a few minutes,) and then proceed to steal it and sell it. The whole ordeal is over in five minutes, and you net yourself a cool $40. Of course, this will lower your honor, but hey, no one said life in the Wild West was e

The stranger mission A Test of Faith is triggered after coming across amateur paleontologist Deborah MacGuiness. She tasks you with finding thirty dinosaur bones, which are littered throughout the enormous map. Not only is an internet guide required for this mission (because there's no way you're finding the bones on your own,) but riding to each specific location is tedious work. After a few hours of riding around the massive map and documenting dinosaur bones, you'll be rewarded with a skull statue and a special knife. It's kind of worth it for the funny cutscene, but don't go into the mission expecting a serious rew

Red Dead Redemption 2 money Guide Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s smash hit sequel to their beloved story about a former outlaw hunting down his old game. What’s more is that RDR2 is also a prequel to the original game, which allows for Rockstar to insert as many tributes and foreshadowing into the new story as they please. Well, boy did they deliver! This time around, you play as Arthur Morgan, the Van der Linde gang lieutenant who witnesses the twilight days of John’s infamous former gang and must make hard choices concerning just who and what he is loyal

Smoking and Other Hobbies is a collector's dream, but a nightmare for more casual players. Arthur encounters a man named Phineas T. Ramsbottom outside Flatneck Station, who tells Arthur that premium cigarette cards are worth good money. There are 144 of these cards to collect throughout the map, and they're scattered all over the place. Finding them all is really monotonous work, and it takes forever. After finding all 144, you are given a mere $200. This may sound like a lot, but finding all the cards takes HOURS of work. And yes, you can buy premium cigarettes and amass the cards, but this isn't ideal for a cash-strapped player. At a hefty $5 a pack, you would be spending more than you would be making, and that's just bad busin

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

Rockstar has implemented a solid selection of camera options for RDR2. These range from a first-person view to various third-person options. For online play, however, you need only concern yourself with one camera angle and that is to be as zoomed out as possi

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.

"I know this isn't much of a source, but I do actually remember when this was posted. I lurk on the sub a lot, and I pretty clearly remember this getting posted and a lot of people shitting on it because it sounded ridiculous. This was well before the initial announcement and might have been a similar time to when the map leaked? But I do very clearly remember reading this post, being weirded out by the mare birthing minigame, being disappointed (and a bit put off) by the "development hell" claim, and being confused by what "vertical slice" meant."

Dutch’s "You can’t fight gravity" speech is one of the most memorable in gaming. After a long and grueling chase all over the United States to track down the last of his gang, John finally confronts his former mentor, only to listen to a heartbreaking monologue about how you can’t fight your nature. In RDR2 , after picking a fight with the US Army, Dutch makes nearly the same speech but instead uses it as a way to clue Arthur in on his escape p

One of the most affecting examples of this for my playthrough in Red Dead Redemption 2 was when I came across a house after finishing a race with a stranger. I went into the house curious if there was anything inside, such as the seemingly endless amount of cigarette cards. Inside, there was a father and son having a tense confrontation over the father's wasteful habits that caused his wife to leave them. While leaving, the boy discovered my hiding place and ran to his room. The father pulled out a gun, so I naturally killed him and proceeded to loot the location as muscle memory kicked in for every other location in the game.
