While it may be fun and immersive to play the campaign in first person mode, it is a great way to die online. The field-of-vision is far too limited to be practical. By zooming out, you can be sure you’re seeing as much of your surroundings as possible, while simultaneously limiting the possibility of an enemy getting the jump on

This is another really simple method that new online gamers or people new to Red Dead don’t know, but people are killing and hunting you because you are a giant dot on their menu (and a red one in PVP). But did you know that if you crouch when you run, it makes you a small, passive, gray dot on the mini-

The Arcadia for Amateurs questline is one you’ll be encountering quite a few times throughout Arthurs journey. Albert Mason is actually an exceptionally likable character, which is rare in a Rockstar game, where everyone is essentially sociopaths. He’s actually a nature photographer which some awful luck and steadfast determination. Throughout your many encounters, you save him from wolves, crocodiles, horses and m

While horses are an excellent way to get around in RDR2 , they are far less useful when it comes to BR modes. While it may give you an advantage in the speed department, it is not worth the attention you will draw. Add in the fact that being on horseback makes you a much larger target, this is not a strategy we can suggest. When necessary, a horse can be useful to get out of tight situations but riding it directly into battle can be fa

The griefers will see you on one knee and assume “they got you” at which point they will approach to lasso or kill you. If you position yourself just right, when they get into position, you just quick draw and shoot the dynamite (or detonate it by hand). The griefer will not have the proper reaction time, as that is all but impossible, and you can’t help but feel like they might have learned a life lesson from being blown ten feet in the air for trying to ruin other people’s fun. Please note, this is even more satisfying if they are a whole posse, as when placed right, dynamite can easily kill five (and their hors

As we mentioned above, in battle royale mode players can be marked for standing still too long. It is also possible to reveal yourself by firing your weapon. When a player does this, they will be displayed on the map as a Red Dead Redemption 2 Updates dot , showing everyone exactly where you are. This can be extremely useful in getting an easy kill, or multiple kills, as quite often several players will converge on that location. On the other hand, if you are the one who has revealed yourself, it is best to move from that location quickly. It is also important to hold your fire until you are guaranteed a hit, or else you risk exposing yours

Some wise online players figured out that sometimes (not all times), if you are crouched cooking, griefers actually cannot stop the cooking animation and they can’t seem to be able to harm or lasso you while you are in the proc

This palm-sized killer is a rare Cattleman’s revolver that’s perfect for hunting small and medium sized animals. It’s the prized gun of Flaco Hernandez, a gunslinger defeated in a duel at Cairn Lake with a capacity of six rounds. The gun can only be obtained through a successful completion of the Gunslinger Mission and if you don’t pick it up next to your rival’s body, the gun will later not be unlockable. It’s a delicate little silver gun and you’ll only have one chance to get it, but it’s worth dueling Flaco until you can get the better of

The codes in Red Dead Redemption and its sequel are infamous for not being aids to get ahead- when enacted, goals and missions disappear. So while they’re no good for getting ahead or completing side missions, they can be a whole lot of fun. Whether its a code to create a circus tent in place of your caravan or something as pragmatic and sensible as creating a buggy out of thin air- there’s an entire directory of every one discovered thus far. And as for that buggy, the code is Create A Buggy. If only finding housing was that easy in real l

In-game journals or logs in other games often have the appearance of life, thanks to talented teams, but none feel like living, breathing books like Arthur’s does. Drake’s notes in the Uncharted series are filled with doodles and charm that is signature to Drake’s personality, but its in-game purpose is usually to solve simple puzzles more than to flesh out the characters. During my brief time with Mass Effect , the Codex was easily my favorite bit since it filled out the history of the galaxy, but it lacked a personal anchor point.

This mission has some of the most unique characters in RDR2 . It’s found around the Van Horn Trading Post where you’ll stop a man named Bertram from choke-slamming a bartender. Turns out he’s a sweetheart that works with a woman named Marjorie who’s looking for her other employee, Magnif

But there is hope! Some of us here have put in hours upon hours online to try to figure out ways to make the game’s griefers get driven insane, and we found some surprisingly effective methods of achieving just that. Here are five ways to punish the griefers populating the world of Red Dead Redemption online right
