Do you get a little irritated by having to get to the map via the pause menu? Well, fear not, because you don’t actually have to! While the game doesn’t tell you this, you can jump straight to the map if you hold down the start button, rather than tapping it to bring up the pause menu. While this only really takes a few seconds off the process of getting there, it’s highly rewarding to know, and makes it much less of a faff to look at where you’re head
No longer do you have to wade out into the water, cast out your line, wait for five hours, and then reel in a single fish. You just ignite the fuse, toss the stick of dynamite into the water, and ba-blam! Instant fish fil
Realism in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a funny thing. The game seems to strictly adhere to it in parts, such as only being able to have two guns at arm’s reach when off your horse. Yet at other times, it seems to flip completely, and go a bit bananas in the traditional GTA sense, with your horse able to carry as much weaponry as Fort Knox during a red alert. Regardless, I think they’ve probably got the balance about right, even if it does feel a little odd at times. They’ve made a good number of concessions to balance fun with realism. The focus is on having fun, and that’s something that’s definitely being achie
_ Red Dead Redemption 2 Animals 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
While you can unlock fast travel fairly early on by upgrading your tent, the game does have a pseudo-fast travel system built in. If you set a custom waypoint on your map, switch to cinematic view, and then set your horse running by holding down X/A, the horse will make its way to the waypoint. You don’t need to even hold the button down. You can go and make a cup of tea/coffee if you like, and when you come back, your horse should be at the destinat
Arthur Morgan’s hair actually grows throughout the game. If you’re not careful and do not get it taken care of, your hair can grow to extreme lengths. Arthur can look like quite the wild man. If your hair gets to be too long, you can take Arthur to a barber and get it trim
So, maybe you’re still pootling along in Chapter 2, messing about in the world and trying to drink it all. It’s a commendable attitude, it really is, but there are good reasons to carry on. One of them being the Dead Eye upgrades you get through the story. Once you hit Dead Eye level 4, a fantastic ability unlocks: you’re able to see animals’ weak points as glowing red spots on their bodies. It works on people too! Shoot here to get a clean shot every single time, as long as you’re using a strong enough wea
I was caught completely off-guard when I found out I could do that. I had not played dominoes (in real life) for a long time. Luckily for me, my skills had not disappeared in all that time. I was able to claim victory more often than
The time away did not do much for the group of outlaws, as they almost immediately run into trouble, primarily due to Dutch’s terrible decisions in taking on ever-increasingly dangerous heists. To make matters worse, Morgan catches tuberculosis and is given a grim prognosis. He saves Marston (again), but that is when the group truly begins to disso
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
Upon arriving on the island of Guarma , the gang once again finds themselves in the midst of a civil war. This time, the battle is between the island’s plantation owners and the slaves working in the fields. Taking arms up against the plantation owners, the gang helps progress the revolution for the slaves’ cause, before heading back to mainland Amer
