On the flipside, being a bad guy and losing your Honor can lead to bad things in the game as well. One of the biggest headaches in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the bounties put on your head, and your Honor has a lot to do with it. Have your Honor way down in the red zone and you might find yourself being overwhelmed by bounties. It might sound cool being a wanted outlaw, but being constantly shot gets annoying after a while. Paying off these bounties can take a heavy toll on that ole’ coin pouch. Also, it can affect your ability to play some missions in-game, so just be mindful of t
Grand Theft Auto V ’s biggest issue at launch was the state of Online. Despite being marketed as one of the game’s major components, Grand Theft Online was held back for as long as humanly possible, potentially milking the game for as many consumers as Rockstar possibly could. For as much backlash as the move got at the time, fans let themselves for
One thing that stands out in most Old Western games has to be the classic treasure hunt. Out of nine maps, the first you can find in the Jack Hall Gang treasure map side quests comes from a fellow treasure hunter named Max
Believe it or not, this is actually the worst deal you can get by being good guy Arthur. Unlocked at Honor Level -1, this gives players better odds of finding Dead Eye tonics, throwables, alcohol, and tobacco from corpses. It’s not a great site perk, but then again it is the worst of the lot, so you can’t complain too much. Also, it gets better as you level up your honor — some of these rewards are really g
Located on the Eastern side of Braithwaite Manor, you’ll come across a large collection of houses located on the edge of the water. Head south into the shrubs at this point and you’ll start to hear the voice of a young g
In the area of Rhodes is where our next chance encounter lies. If you happen to buy from the Gunsmith there, you might’ve heard some whispers as you walked in. There’s a man that calls out to you from the basement hatch outs
Cosmetic enthusiasts rejoice! We have more outfits to try on. Honor Level +6 grants players access to outfits like the Drifter, the Gambler, the Faulkton, the Farrier, the Dewberry Creek, and the Deauvi
That’s all well and good, Dutch, but Arthur over here has erased his “Wanted” status several times by paying some cash to local authorities. Why can’t he do the same in Blackwater and then retrieve the money for you? (Because the story has gotta sto
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel, so we all know how the story is going to turn out. We know what will happen to the Van der Linde gang. Every happy moment becomes sad knowing the eventual outcome of the plot. It’s like every footstep led downwards into this puddle of gloom. Thanks, Red Dead Redemptio
This NPC is around the top of New Hanover and seems to have literally hollowed out a tree for himself. Don’t ask me how. I have no idea. But, Arthur can converse with him and that’s where we find out he’s dubbed himself the so-called “King of the Forest”. A bit narcissistic if you ask
The Blackwater Money is this huge pool of cash that is too hot to nab at the beginning of the game. Dutch, the gang’s leader, is the only one who knows where it is, and he’s keeping the location secret until things mellow
I don’t know if it’s on purpose or a happy accident, but the horse skinning skip is back. In the original Red Dead Redemptio n with our boy John Marston, there was a simple trick. The animation for skinning an animal was actually shorter back then but people were still impati
There are many people to meet in Red Dead Redemption 2. The Van der Linde gang has some new faces to see and new stories to learn. It’s a bit of a shame that in all of these meet-and-greets, we lose the opportunity to delve into the personalities of characters we knew from the original Red Dead Redempt
Don’t let the name fool you. The next batch of dreamcatchers you can find in the game still come from Heartland, but north of Horseshoe Overlook. Follow the tracks north of Horseshoe Overlook and on the left side of the “E” in “New” on your map, you’ll discover a large tree filled with the relics. They may be a pain to find and difficult to navigate towards, but these collectibles are really fun to see and include some breathtaking scenery as w
Challenges in the first Red Dead Redemption were difficult, but tolerable for the most part. The latter challenges were demanding enough to give any player a headache, but never so overwhelming where they outright detracted from the game’s overall quality. The same cannot be said for Red Dead Redemption II , unfortunat
This particular gripe only works if you’ve been playing Arthur Morgan as an honorable criminal. For the most part, townsfolk will recognize your good deeds as Morgan if you’ve been chivalrous around t
You play as an outlaw on the frontier in Red Dead Redemption 2, so not much peaceful diplomacy occurs when you find yourself in a sticky situation. More often than not, you’ll have to whip out your guns faster than a greased rabbit on a slippery hot skil
