This is another find that is perhaps just the start of another quest. If you head directly south of the I in Ambarino, you can find a house reminiscent of ones you can find in The Shire from The Lord of the Rings . Unfortunately, you can’t go inside. There is something else off about it though. Above the door is a turtle symbol, the same one the cult Mary’s brother tried to join. Is there a connection? Perhaps we’ll soon find
When a weapon takes its name from one of the most violent forces of nature, you know it’s going to pack a punch. The Volcanic Pistol does not disappoint. It deals, by a long way, the most damage of any pistol in the game, firing off round after round of red-hot death. Its only real downside is a fairly slow fire rate and a very low reload speed. However, if you’re using it at close range, especially with Express rounds, this gun can take down even the most fierce f
Realism in Red 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
There’s a certain area of the Bayou that gets a bit more, well, odd. It has some NPCs that seem to only speak nonsense, and overall it’s the very definition of a “backwater” town. But, the biggest attraction in this area is one fine banjo pla
Previously owned by a lonely woodsman living in solitude in Roanoke Ridge, this weapon was cherished deeply by the previous wielder. Able to carry two rounds of ammo at a time, the weapon can fire regular buckshot, incendiary buckshot, slug, and explosive slug shotgun rou
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 maps 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
An old Bowie knife with a solid blade, worn out wooden handle and a large D-shaped handguard for protection, this was most commonly used by Civil War soldiers. Now coated in rust, the weapon can be found in a storage room underneath the ruins of Fort Brennand in Roanoke Ridge, New Hanover. This little piece of history may just come in handle in bat
Rockstar Games has you covered though. If you pop on into a hotel, there is an option to give your character a nice and luxurious bath with actual hot water. Making sure my character bathes is something I never thought I would do in a video g
While it’s briefly touched upon in an early cut-scene that you should wear your bandana to hide your identity while doing anything illegal, the game doesn’t mention the other mechanics of the bandana. For instance, if a random NPC sees you commit a crime while wearing the bandana, you’ll still become wanted, but they (usually) won’t be able to pin the crime on Arthur Morgan, meaning if you can avoid the immediate consequences of the law, there won’t be any lasting penalties, at least in the form of a bou
This next weapon takes a step back away from firearms and instead focuses on weapons that require a more close up and hands on approach. One of the more powerful melee weapons in the game has to be the Ancient Tomahawk. With a striped bound shaft and polished, razor sharp blade, the weapon was well maintained before being abandoned in an old wooden target overlooking the Calumet Ravine. The Calumet Ravine can be found in the wilds of the Grizzl
Hunting is another mechanic that has gotten a pretty severe overhaul compared to the original Red Dead Redemption . You’ve probably noticed the “study” option available when aiming at an animal, but it isn’t immediately obvious what it does. But after studying it, select “show info”, and you’ll see what quality of pelt you’re going to get from the animal in question. Depending on whether or not you’re after the pelt or the meat, this might not matter to you, but if you are looking to sell the pelt, the quality makes a hefty difference in pr
If you think that regular dynamite is good, with its ability to shred enemies and leave them screaming messes, you’ve not tried its volatile cousin. To craft this weapon, you’ll need a stick of dynamite, a high-velocity cartridge, and animal fat. The rewards are well worth the effort, however: it does even more damage than regular dynamite and also has a wider area of effect. It can blow up anything standing in your way, just be careful when using
