GTA V had its full share of weird and wacky Easter eggs. The world of RDR 2 is no exception. If you travel to the north of Emerald Ranch and the Heartland Overflow Reservoir, you will encounter a small cabin. Within it, you will be met with a disturbing scene that suggests that a mass ritualistic suicide occurred. A note will tell you to come back “at the second hour under the half moon.” If you do a follow-up, you will be greeted with a huge and shining
This one is Learn Even more Here 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
Eventually, the snow melts enough for the gang to move to a more permanent area just outside the town of Valentine. In order to fund the move (and their continued survival), the gang stages a train heist, robbing wealthy oil baron, Leviticus Cornwall. Following the robbery, Cornwall hires the Pinkerton Detective Agency to apprehend the outlaws, causing the group to remain ever vigilant and untrusting of outsiders. Gang leader, Dutch, continually exclaims that the group is due for just one more major heist, but as the game goes on and Dutch’s decisions become less thought out, Arthur begins to question his intentions and overall leadership, in addition to some of Dutch’s newly-recruited members, such as crazed wildcard, Micah B
If you ever wanted to meet a vampire, RDR 2 will give you that chance. For this weirdly different mission head to Saint Denis. There are five pieces of graffiti you need to locate around the city. Each one brings extra attention to what you are likely going to encounter once you find this iconic monster. Once you solve the last clue and “X” will appear on where you can meet the vampire. The meeting only works at night, but believe us; the encounter is worth
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
Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in 1899; roughly twelve years before the original Red Dead Redemption. Players take on the role of outlaw gang member, Arthur Morgan, who is the right-hand man for the gang’s leader, Dutch van der Linde. The gang is on the run through the snowy mountains following a ferry heist in the town of Blackwater that went terribly wrong. Once the group finds a place to wait out the storm, they have to work together to gather resources – such as food – and survive the elements. Arthur, being one of the more experienced members, is tasked with rescuing John Marston who is near death on a nearby mountain p
God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be competing through proxies in the Best Performance category, with Christopher Judge as Kratos and Roger Clark as Arthur Morgan representing their respective ga
If you are brave enough to take the trek to the tracks between Lemoyne and New Hanover, you will catch a glimpse of a ghost train. There is no rhyme or reason as to why it exists, it just does. So, make sure you have the lights off for this fright f
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
_ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ is a western tale as old as time, filled with gunslinging-action, horseback exploration, greed, loyalty, and the overall treachery of the old west. Fans of the genre will not want to miss this game; a clear, heavy favorite for 2018’s Game of the Y
We’re in an unprecedented year where we’ll get to see gaming’s highest selling annual franchise face off against the developers behind history’s highest sold game. It’s going to be a fun fight to watch, but come October, I think I’ll put my money on the cowboy.
Realism is not always for the best. While there is certainly an immersive element to watching Arthur interact with his world as realistically as possible, there is quite a tedium as well. Specifically through the concept of gun maintenance. Don’t get too comfortable since any time you fire your gun you’re running the risk of throttling its accuracy with r
