Realism in red dead redemption 2 characters Dead Redemption 2 is a funny thing. The game seems to strictly adhere to it in parts, such as only being able to have two guns at arm’s reach when off your horse. Yet at other times, it seems to flip completely, and go a bit bananas in the traditional GTA sense, with your horse able to carry as much weaponry as Fort Knox during a red alert. Regardless, I think they’ve probably got the balance about right, even if it does feel a little odd at times. They’ve made a good number of concessions to balance fun with realism. The focus is on having fun, and that’s something that’s definitely being achie
Hosea is Dutch’s better half. He is the brains behind the brawns, but he never gets any of the credit. Not that Hosea cares, mind you, but that doesn’t change the fact that Dutch’s Gang mostly due to Hosea’s leadership abilities. Once he’s gone after Chapter 4, it’s no wonder everything falls ap
There are few companions that are going to accompany you for the entirety of Red Dead Redemption 2, but one that will be at your side for the majority of the journey is your horse. However, like any relationship worth having, you’re going to need to put in some effort. Your horse isn’t just going to be your buddy from the get-go; you are going to have to earn its trust. Having your horse on your good side will make Arthur Morgan’s journey much easier, tho
Paying into the gang is totally optional, but it’s something I’d advise you do, if only to improve the mood at camp. However, sometimes it can feel like you’re the only one who gives a modicum about the camp’s welfare. You’re donating $100 at a time, everyone else is putting in about 50 cents. To improve this situation, upgrade Dutch’s lodging. This will (for one reason or another) inspire everybody else to put more into the collection tin. It’s not a drastic improvement, but every little he
Hitching your horse is important! While pressing Y to hook your horse to a post may seem banal, it bonds you to your horse, and also allows their cores to regenerate! The only problem is that the game doesn’t tell you that you can also hitch your horse to things that aren’t exclusively hitching posts. If you’re near a tree in the middle of nowhere, simply ride over towards it, and press Y/Triangle to hitch up Neddy to the t
Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best shotguns I’ve ever used in recent years, and chief among them (at least in terms of standard weapons), is the pump-action. Packing a ridiculous amount of punch, whether loaded with regular ammo or slugs, it’s also got a fairly decent range on it. The fire rate is good, and if you get a shot in on someone’s head or one of their limbs, then uh…things aren’t looking at all good for t
Which, unfortunately, weather doesn’t. Despite building up how much weather will affect the game, Arthur is basically left to his own devices as he can run up the snowiest peaks wearing as little as possible with only the most minor of penalties. If the story stresses the dangers of weather, the gameplay not reflecting that is a plot h
It’s hard to pinpoint just what exactly is a plot hole. Some deem it a narrative inconsistency, others consider plot holes to be anything the story cannot realistically justify. While the latter is certainly the most true to definition explanation, does that mean that character inconsistencies and continuity errors aren’t plot holes? After all, they’re creating holes in a story where there otherwise would be none. Regardless of what your definition of a plot hole ultimately is, you have to admit that inconsistencies are bound to turn up in any story regardless of quality. Doubly so for particularly long stor
Make your enemies say night, night, with Midnight’s Pistol. Received as part of the stranger mission “The Noblest Of Men And A Woman,” Billy’s pistol has a dark past. However, despite its huge number of uses over the years, boy does it still work. The pistol, a variant of the semi-auto, does standard damage, to begin with, but persist with it, and you’ll gain affinity. Once you’ve done this, its damage skyrockets. Its damage becomes one of the highest of the game’s pistols, while also having an exceptionally quick reload t
Remember back in 2012, or as it’s known in some circles, the year of the bow? It seems like every game that came out then packed one in, and for good reason. Red Dead Redemption 2’s bow does a very respectable amount of damage and has a good reload time, but that’s not what makes it strong. Its silence is what does it. If you’re sneaking up on a hideout or fancy taking out some enemies without alerting their comrades, the bow does this superbly. One well-placed arrow can down anyone. If you’re feeling fancy, make some dynamite arr
That said, there was a realism to his story. He met a real fate and his exploits were never outlandish. When you get to the prequel and see Arthur and Micah gunning down an entire town without any repercussions, though… it’s hard to take seriously. The series always had its own rules and the Strawberry missions very much contradicts all common se
