A bloody shootout through the streets of Valentine forces the group to move on, leading to the discovery of a considerable amount of gold possessed by the dueling Gray and Braithwaite families in the town of Rhodes. The gang works to play both families in an effort to eventually obtain the gold, but wind up getting played themselves, with John Marston’s son, Jack, getting kidnapped. Jack is eventually rescued, but the gang gets double-crossed in the process, causing Dutch to decline even more in his thoughtfulness and strategy. He plans a bank heist that doesn’t go at all as planned, resulting in Marston being captured, as well as the deaths of two of the more high-profile characters of the gang, including Dutch’s best friend. In an attempt to escape the law (and everyone else who wants them dead) the gang hops a ride on a tanker ship headed to C

There are many people to meet in Red Dead Redemption 2. The Van der Linde gang has some new faces to see and new stories to learn. It’s a bit of a shame that in all of these meet-and-greets, we lose the opportunity to delve into the personalities of characters we knew from the original Red Dead Redempt

Yes sirree, whether you want to hunt more effectively, mold Arthur into Revolver Ocelot, get rid of bounties without spending a cent, or improve pelt qualities permanently, you’ll find info here! Approximately half of these are things I’ve picked up myself, but the other half I had absolutely no idea about. Have you discovered anything else cool that I’ve not listed here? Let us know in the comments! Oh, one more thing before we start the article: if you want another way to enhance your gameplay experience, I’ve got a sensational recommendation: listen to the Dead Man soundtrack while you play. You can thank me la

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

That’s all well and good, Dutch, but Arthur over here has erased his “Wanted” status several times by paying some cash to local authorities. Why can’t he do the same in Blackwater and then retrieve the money for you? (Because the story has gotta sto

Any game where I get to ride an animal automatically earns itself a boost in my esteem. If I’m playing a game set in the West, you can bet your buckles I expect to ride a horse. Red Dead Redemption 2 gives me plenty of opportunities to do just t

Challenges in the first Red Dead Redemption were difficult, but tolerable for the most part. The latter challenges were demanding enough to give any player a headache, but never so overwhelming where they outright detracted from the game’s overall quality. The same cannot be said for Red Dead Redemption 2 camp upgrades Dead Redemption II , unfortunat

The side mission Killer Clue follows a gory trail of murder as you track down a serial killer that likes to show off their victims. Are you ready to turn in your cowboy hat for a detective one? Track down the perpetrator of these grisly murders to complete this qu

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 to gameplay instantly. Quite why the game doesn’t tell you this, I have no i

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

Which allowed Rockstar to pull the same stunt get again with Red Dead Redemption II. The back of the box even explicitly states to keep an eye out for the online component. This is not done in good will either. It likely does need further development time, but this is just as much a means of advertising RDR2 twof

Red Dead Redemption 2 will release for PS4 and Xbox One on October 26th, 2018. If you have yet to pick up a copy of the game, there’s still time to pre-order the game on Amazon ahead of its release this fall.

Dutch goes rogue and murders Leviticus Cornwall. In the process, he also incites a war between the surrounding Native American tribe and the United States Army in order to steal some valuable bonds, resulting in a bloody massacre with casualties on both sides. Dutch and Morgan find the bonds, but get ambushed as they escape. Dutch abandons Morgan, who is eventually caught and nearly killed, before being rescued. Morgan finally breaks his allegiance with Dutch when he refuses to rescue Marston’s girlfriend, Abigail, who gets kidnapped by Agent Mil
