Now, before anyone complains, I will admit that the Varmint Rifle is great for dealing with, well, varmints. Taking out small wildlife requires a delicate touch, and this is what said rifle provides. What it does not provide is the firepower to take down bounty hunters, gang members, or lawmen. The weapon does less than half the damage that the Springfield and Bolt-Action rifles do. About the only thing it has going for it is that it’s got a fast fire rate and a good-sized magazine. However, you’ll need that if you’re going to fire enough lead to down anyb
Now we’re starting to actually see real dividends of being good guy Arthur. Honor Level +2 unlocks a special 10% discount for players at shops! Sure, it’s not like your favorite sale on a Black Friday but 10% at all shops for that sweet ammunition and clothing is a bargain in the Wild West. Ten percent might not be enough motivation for everyone to be good-guy Arthur, though, so I should probably mention here that these discounts only get better as your Honor Level progres
A bug? Or just a deer looking out for ol’ Arthur Morgan? Regardless, the result is the same. Reddit user chelseasaints was apparently walking around for a good long time looking for the entrance to a cave, when out of nowhere a deer very awkwardly stumbles down part of a cliff with magnet hooves and shoves Arthur Morgan over the edge. But Arthur lands, turns around, and what do you know? There’s the entrance to the cave. Blind luck? Or some kind of divine deer intervent
_ Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheats Dead Redemption 2 _ has been available for just over a week, giving players ample amount of time to experience the 60-plus hours of storyline content, in addition to the side-missions and countless other things to do in the vast, wide-open frontier. With so much to do in the game, it would be easy to overlook the overarching story. Luckily, _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ features a familiar, yet compelling story of the rough life that was led by most in the wild w
If you think that regular dynamite is good, with its ability to shred enemies and leave them screaming messes, you’ve not tried its volatile cousin. To craft this weapon, you’ll need a stick of dynamite, a high-velocity cartridge, and animal fat. The rewards are well worth the effort, however: it does even more damage than regular dynamite and also has a wider area of effect. It can blow up anything standing in your way, just be careful when using
Wait, I hear you say, “a viking hatchet?” Yes indeedy! There’s a Viking ruin in the game located just across the river from Annesburg, to the northwest. In the middle of this tomb, near an altar, you’ll find the viking hatchet. Wielding it not only lets you get your Ragnar Lothbrok on, but also packs a massive punch. It’s a throwable that does quite a bit more damage than your standard throwing knife, while also looking very, very cool ind
Challenges in Red Dead Redemption II are utterly nightmarish. Not only are there 90 of them now, they require such accurate precision to pull off that you’ll actively need to go out of your way for hours on end to complete them. This is to say nothing of the Gambling challenges which require actual RNG to win in the later entr
Bonnie MacFarland is the woman who saves John Marston’s life at the beginning of the first game. Once you get close you’ll learn she’s had many suitors, but nothing ever turns out well for her. If you go southeast of the first N in New Hanover, and follow the river, right about there you will see a man, presumably eliminated, next to a boat. If you try to loot him, he’ll gasp for air before eventually going in peace for real. In his clutched fist is a love letter for Bon
My go-to sidearms in this game are one Schofield Revolver and one Volcanic Pistol. The Schofield Revolver is the perfect counterpart to the pistol for a couple of reasons. It’s one of the strongest revolvers in the game, and also has an absolutely superb range for a sidearm. Even without the Volcanic Pistol, a pair of these makes an absolutely fearsome duo of weapons, with 12 bullets from these things doing enough damage to take down large groups of enemies at a t
This one is more for cosmetics enthusiasts. We all like to look sleek in our RPGs — fashion is still a thing in the West. Honor Level +3 unlocks outfits like the Bulldogger, the Cowpuncher, the Valentine, the Chevalier, the McLaughlin, the Corson, the Roscoe, and the Cumberland (not Timberland). If you’re like me and want your characters to be rocking those style points, then being a good guy is definitely your th
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
