When I think back on Red Dead Redemption , there are plenty of scenes and images that immediately come to my mind that capture that game's particular sense of grandeur. There are the obvious action-packed moments, like gunfights against outlaws, heists, and robberies, and the quieter moments that truly let the game's Western setting shine: galloping out into the expanse of the West with the sun blazing in the distance always comes to mind for me when thinking back on Red Dead at its best.

I've lost count of how many times my life has been saved by Dead Eye. The only problem being, if you get into repeated engagements that require Dead Eye, you're going to run out of charge pretty quic

In the side mission ( Oh, Brother ), you will have to help two twin brothers win over a woman, named Helen, that they are both fighting over. Over a series of mini-missions, you will have to carry out obscene games and tasks in order to help both twins prove their toughness. Ultimately, you will come to the end of a small tale about two brothers fighting over a woman, and whilst bizarre it’s well worth finish

This is more on the subtle side of bad things coming from the Honor Systems, but players with a bad Honor Level will have a harder time convincing NPCs into doing things that favor them. Killed a person and want an NPC to stay hush-hush about it? Well, you might find it harder to convince them if you’re on the wrong side of the Honor spectrum. It's really simple, they just don't like

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

The massively open world of **Red Dead Redemption 2 ** has a lot to offer - from beautiful landscapes to all-out shootouts. The game comes to life as you travel from town to town, with plentiful wildlife and a whole host of small missions that spawn along your journey from A t

Say you're robbing a stagecoach or a train, one thing you really don't want to happen is for you to lose your horse. Trying to make a quick getaway on foot is nigh-on impossible, and can be extraordinarily fatal if you're being pursued by enough lawmen to arrest a whole county. There's an easy solution: just hold up on the D-pad, and your horse will follow you along as you rob and slaughter your way about. Then, when you've got your cash, get off, jump on your horse, and hightail it into the sun

A Rockstar game isn’t complete without ridiculous characters and side missions peppered throughout the map. In Red Dead Redemption 2 we get plenty of opportunities to meet the game world’s oddba

If you're like me and like to do everything in your power to make the game as immersive as possible, then you'd probably be intrigued by the HUD removal options. Removing your map is pretty easy (and explained in a tutorial), but what they don't mention is that you can download the Red Dead Redemption 2 Companion App and get all the pertinent in-game information right on whatever device you want in real-time. This way, you can have the unimpeded immersion experience that you want, without sacrificing the potentially life-saving information that the HUD provi

You'll figure out pretty early on that there are certain items you get that it seems like you just can't sell to anybody, which can be a shame, because a lot of these seem to be pretty big-ticket items. So what are they good

Have you ever had the intensely annoying experience of taking the time to take a perfect shot on an animal, only to be rewarded with a poor or good pelt? It's barely mentioned in the game, but not every animal can give you a perfect pelt, no matter how gentle you are with it. To find out the quality of the pelt you're going to get, equip your binoculars and hit R1/RB to study the animal before taking a shot. One to three pips will appear on next to the animal's name, with three being the highest qual

Incredibly early into the gang, Arthur reveals that John had left the gang for an entire year prior to the start of Chapter 1. This abandonment clearly created some wedge between Arthur and John with the two butting heads early on. Oddly, though, Arthur more or less gets over it by Chapter 2 as he never actually reflects on

Following on from the last entry, here's another really handy little timesaver. If you're deep in menus, as it's very easy to be in Red Dead Redemption 2 , you don't need to manually back out of each individual one. Instead, the easiest way to get out of them is to simply hold down Circle/B, instead of tapping it. This drags you all the way out of them, returning you could try here to gameplay instantly. Quite why the game doesn't tell you this, I have no i
