This is made all the worse in missions where, for whatever reason, Arthur will always walk slower and behind his fellow gang members. This doesn’t just apply to walking, though. Looting takes absolutely forever as Arthur needs to prop up bodies, feel around, and grab items. Do this enough time and you’ll wind up wasting time that could have been spent actually play
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 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
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
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
An upgrade from the last one, players have better chances of looting jewelry and consumables like medicine and horse pills (I think you get where this is going). Consumables are always appreciated and having increased chances of finding them off corpses is actually quite decent. As it turns out, Karma is as real as it gets in Red Dead Redemption 2 side quests Dead Redemption 2, and being a good guy certainly has its rewards in the W
But what I don’t dig, however, is how horribly unlucky he seems to be. This musician was born with a lot of problems, but seems to be dealing with them on his terms. There are actually a fair amount of what society would consider “social outcasts” spread throughout the game wo
There’s a certain area of the Bayou that gets a bit more, well, odd. It has some NPCs that seem to only speak nonsense, and overall it’s the very definition of a “backwater” town. But, the biggest attraction in this area is one fine banjo pla
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.
One of the recurring threads of the original Red Dead Redemption was John Marston’s willingness to go along with just about every scheme thrust his way. It didn’t matter whether people wanted him to shoot, lie, or cheat, John would play along just so he could be reunited with his beloved wife and son. Naturally, this is a trend that extends all the way back to the second g
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
How do you fancy being able to circle strafe around enemies while riding your horse? If you want to channel your inner 90s FPS protagonist and combine power and maneuverability, you can! All you have to do is hold down Square/X and a direction on the X-axis. Another little bit of advanced equine tactics for you: if you want to do a sharp 90-degree turn, you can do so by holding down R1/RB and hitting a direction on the X-a
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
You know those scenes in Metal Gear Solid where Revolver Ocelot does all those ridiculous gun spinning tricks? You might not quite be able to get to that level, but if you want to give Arthur a bit of flair, you can spin his guns before holstering them. Tap L1/LB twice instead of once, and Arthur will swing the gun around on his finger before holstering it. Do it after a gunfight to add a whole other level of John Wayne swagger to Arthur’s otherwise cold demea
