Dramatic black and white close-up portrait of a fierce pirate figure in full attire, wearing an eye patch and a tricorne hat, clutching a curved sword in a jungle-like setting.In the mission, Irish is being roughed up by a Welshman and an American, whom everyone confusingly refers to as the ‘Frenchman.’ After Marston saves Irish from the two, he asks him Irish why Frenchie held that specific title—Irish doesn’t bother explaining and it's never mentioned ag

You need to eat to survive, this is not debatable. Should you stop eating for long enough, your stats will decrease and you’ll find it incredibly difficult to have enough stamina to get around anywhere. Did you think we meant real life? You know what kind of article you’re reading. That said, let’s not eat, alri

While at present Red Dead Redemption 2 patch Notes Dead Redemption 2 is all the hype—not surprising, considering it was a cumulative effort by Rockstar Games over eight long years—let's not forget about its predecessor, 2010's Red Dead Redempti

All downed rivals are worth looting (sure, it’s not ideal behavior but this is the company that brought you Grand Theft Auto - this isn’t about being a total angel) but few are as worth it as raiding Billy Midnight’s defenseless body. It’s a flashy, showy pistol with gold-plated engravings and a black wooden grip with an ammo capacity of ten rounds, and can use Regular, High Velocity, Split Point, Express and Explosive pistol ammo. After successfully dueling Midnight in the mission "The Noblest of Men, And A Woman" this beauty can be all yours - although it can’t be customi

So long as you can gun down alligators fast enough, you’ll never be in any real danger and the ease of taking them out will pay for itself before you know it. Thankfully, alligator hunting isn’t all too popular as of yet so this is a reliable and peaceful way of making some easy money. So long as you get those perfect pelts, of cou

The madness for Red Dead Redemption 2 mixed with the incredibly engrossing, unending world of the game makes for a few results - for one thing, some players might be too excited and ambitious to race ahead of other players that they miss some details. And for another, well… just take good care of the horse. That’ll catch up in a big way if you try any shortcuts th

Without any surprise, I greatly want to warn those who have not played the game (what's wrong with you???) that there will be SPOILERS aplenty, so read at your own caution. So let's sift through this brilliant game and point out the things not so brilliant—and that just don't plain make any sense whatsoever. Yeeee-

In the early quarter of the game, you assign the help of Nigel West Dickens, a snotty and theatrical man who is literally a snake oil salesperson. West Dickens suggests you connect with his colleagues Irish and Seth to help in your mission to break into Fort Mer

Despite Arthur committing unspeakable acts in the game, that doesn’t always mean he thinks violence or murder is acceptable. Rather, it’s made clear that he sees it more of a business transaction. Hurting people shouldn’t be done for no reason or out of pleasure, but only if it is a means to an

As Marston's story begins to kick into gears as he recruits help to take down Bill Williamson, we have the mission A Frenchman, A Welshman, and an Irishman , we're introduced to the scruffy and spineless character of Irish, who also happens to be an Irish

While in Rhodes, Arthur ends up helping two lovers from rival families - Beau Gray and Penelope Braithwaite - communicate in a sort of Romeo-and-Juliet love story but in the Wild West. Beau asks Arthur to protect Penelope while she participates in a women’s suffrage rally and is against her involvement. Arthur replies, "If she wants to rally, you got to let her rally." He later drives the rally wagon, proving he wasn’t against the ca

To call Red Dead Redemption 2 big would be the understatement of the century. As well as containing a large chunk of the original game's map, players also get to experience an at times disorientating big landmass made up of several wildly different states. While the waypoint system ensures that you never get lost in the traditional sense of the word, I've certainly found myself getting lost in a much more metaphysical way. When you're presented with a world that is quite so huge, you can often wonder just where you should be going. What is worth seeing in this map? What am I potentially missing by not going here? Maybe it's open world fatigue, but to me, it's more that I've suddenly grown a massive sense of F

If you're bored of the various cowboy hats on offer and want something a bit more different, then get thee to th1e Old Tomb, slightly northwest of Annesburg, just across the river from the mining town. Head down inside, and you'll find the Viking Hatchet, which still makes a fearsome weapon, 1000 years after it was forged. In the side rooms, there's the incredible Viking Helmet, and hidden behind some skulls, an ancient Viking comb, which can fulfill a camp request with pana
