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
Have you ever had the intensely annoying experience of taking the time to take a perfect shot on an animal, only to be rewarded with a poor or good pelt? It’s barely mentioned in the game, but not every animal can give you a perfect pelt, no matter how gentle you are with it. To find out the quality of the pelt you’re going to get, equip your binoculars and hit R1/RB to study the animal before taking a shot. One to three pips will appear on next to the animal’s name, with three being the highest qual
Bigfoot has been synonymous with Rockstar games since 2004’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . There is a picture in your house fans thought was a clue to its discovery, but it wasn’t in the game. This continued into the first Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto V and is back yet again for this g
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
Slightly south you will find a viking burial ground where you can obtain a helmet and hatchet. The helmet looks cool, but it doesn’t have any special attributes and the hatchet is just a throwing axe that is slightly alte
Naturally, Arthur is put on lookout and is immediately caught in a trap. Considering their history with the O’Driscolls, though, Arthur and Dutch should never have been caught in such a juvenile trap. Arthur should have known to keep someone spotting him as he spots Dutch, but this detail was somehow overlooked by two of the gang’s brightest memb
I’m quite proud to say I discovered this next anomaly on my own. It was fairly early on in the game. I was heading back to camp from Valentine on the main road when I discovered a red dead Redemption 2 Fishing guide trail leading up to a bridge. There you can start the serial destroyer’s quest, which is quite intense. He leaves clues using human bodies. If you figure out the clues you’ll get to see a pretty amazing discovery. I won’t spoil who it is though, but it’s worth
In the area of Rhodes is where our next chance encounter lies. If you happen to buy from the Gunsmith there, you might’ve heard some whispers as you walked in. There’s a man that calls out to you from the basement hatch outs
This is more on the subtle side of bad things coming from the Honor Systems, but players with a bad Honor Level will have a harder time convincing NPCs into doing things that favor them. Killed a person and want an NPC to stay hush-hush about it? Well, you might find it harder to convince them if you’re on the wrong side of the Honor spectrum. It’s really simple, they just don’t like
In addition to this, players can also rack up some sweet rewards by helping people in need. Saving that man who was bitten by a snake might end up with him offering to buy you any weapon from the store. So being good-guy Arthur is definitely reward
Red Dead Redemption II is an awesome game. One I’ve been pouring over for more than a week now. I’m discovering new things every day as well as the larger community of fans out there. Compared to most open world games, discovery is actually a tricky thing because travel is actually really taxing. Before I get to share some unique mechanics, treasure, and quests, let me complain a bit further about the fast travel system. A system I have posted my frustration about twice now with my two earlier articles. If you missed my piece on things that don’t make sense in the game, or my article on things I wish I knew before starting, well then please, take a gander at those. Anyway in order to properly make my point clear I thought it best talk about last year’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wi
Cosmetic enthusiasts rejoice! We have more outfits to try on. Honor Level +6 grants players access to outfits like the Drifter, the Gambler, the Faulkton, the Farrier, the Dewberry Creek, and the Deauvi
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
