You know what, the "good old days" of gaming actually weren’t that good. I love let’s plays. I love walkthroughs. And there are few things that are better than starting up a game and knowing what you’re doing. In a game as expansive and in-depth as Red Dead Redemption 2 , players are going to need all of the help that they can get if they want to crack into the game and figure out the mechanics in record time. I have spent the better part of this week gathering as much information as I can in order to create an entertaining list of twenty-five tips and tricks that will help you make the most out of your next Red Dead gaming sess

There is a fear from the characters that their way of life will be eradicated, and similarly, some creative forces behind this game could very well be afraid that their opportunity to tell a story in this genre is under danger. Like Dutch himself, Red Dead Redemption 2 is afraid of being forgotten and irrelevant and fights to justify the existence of its story and characters.

If your character goes hunting without masking their scent, their prey might be able to catch a whiff of them which will alert them of your presence and provide them the opportunity to esc

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

The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled with some omnipotent people. In order to get away with robbing establishments and causing mayhem, Arthur must wear his bandanna (or any other face-covering tool). Only, this bandanna doesn't do squat. Despite no one knowing who you are and not seeing your face, "Arthur Morgan" will become wanted if you hang around long enough or commit enough cri

Midnight’s pistol is the fancier of the two, but this pistol is crazy good. It has one of the highest rates of fire out of any weapon in red Dead redemption 2 patch notes Dead Redemption 2. If you need it, the gunsmith has you covered so don’t worry about it. In terms of damage, it can take someone out in two shots even from a fair distance which is super helpful in tight situations so it is definitely worth the investm

As much as people want to avoid using the in-game map as much as possible, sometimes it truly does come in handy. Sometimes I like to see if my natural sense of direction works by testing to see if I can get my character to where I need to go without tracking my movements on the in-game

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

I am about to reveal to you why Red Dead Redemption 2 is the absolute greatest game of all time. Not of 2018, not of the decade, but of all time. Are you ready for this? Alright, here it comes. Brace yourselves. In this game, you can pat/pet dogs. Any game that includes beautiful puppers but does not let you make direct contact with the little guys is not worth your time. But any game that allows you to pet and play with those dogs immediately wins my vote for best game e

Let us take a magical journey on this dark and cold winter night. Back to a time before the internet. Before gamer guides were so easily available. Before the days of walkthroughs, let’s plays, and step by step guides to help gamers through the trickier scenes in well-known ga

In case you haven’t heard, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a Western-themed action-adventure game starring Arthur Morgan, a Van der Linde gang member dealing with the decline of the Wild Western way of life and fighting against government forces and other gangs.

If you want to live out your childhood cowboy dream as a grown-up, Rockstar have you covered with this new installm
