One thing that stands out in most Old Western games has to be the classic treasure hunt. Out of nine maps, the first you can find in the Jack Hall Gang treasure map side quests comes from a fellow treasure hunter named Max
Situational awareness is a skill needed for just about every video game, but it’s more necessary in some scenarios than others. And if you are hunting and your prey falls dead on the railroad tracks… it’s safest to keep both eyes peeled, as Reddit user johnnydoo2 learned the hard way when the train passed right through him and even scooped him up for a free ride. Things could have certainly gone worse; the train could have simply splattered him, but there’s no doubt his Arthur Morgan isn’t going to be forgetting that anytime soon. And what must the passengers on the train thou
Great games are no stranger to some of the biggest bugs. Sometimes ambition can be a curse, and when you’re doing something that’s never been done before, you’re bound to hit some bumps along the way. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most inventive games ever made , and so it follows that there are some seriously strange bugs that have slipped through the cra
Travel southwest of the Stilt Shack in the Northwestern corner of West Elizabeth. Take a detour off the path and across the river, into the trees, you will discover the crashed airship. Where did this ship come f
Getting into street fights in Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan Theories Dead Redemption 2 is nigh-on inevitable. Sometimes, those fights turn into all-out brawls. And, as PenGwinAssaSsin learned the hard way, occasionally the game has you destined to lose . While in a fistfight with a couple of NPCs on the road, Arthur turned to the side to be met with about a dozen more NPCs, all with their pistols out, and all firing at the same time. A rehearsed ambush? Or some sort of hive mind? Either way, it was pretty effect
This one is more for cosmetics enthusiasts. We all like to look sleek in our RPGs — fashion is still a thing in the West. Honor Level +3 unlocks outfits like the Bulldogger, the Cowpuncher, the Valentine, the Chevalier, the McLaughlin, the Corson, the Roscoe, and the Cumberland (not Timberland). If you’re like me and want your characters to be rocking those style points, then being a good guy is definitely your th
This next item is a bit curious, as its origins are unknown. Travel west along the southern path leading away from the Van Horne Trading Post and begin traveling north when you reach a fork in the r
It does seem like there will occasionally be a warning of the danger to come, though. A horse with an erect tail standing on the road can be a sign of imminent combustion, so if you happen to see one, get re
Weak is not a word you’d normally associate with a sawed-off shotgun, I’ll grant you. However, in this game, it is a little pointless. Sure, early in the game, it’s the most powerful weapon you have to hand, however it’s let down by a proxy capacity of just two shells. Rely on this in a gunfight and you’ll be filled with more holes than Swiss cheese in no time. Once you unlock any long-barreled shotgun, switch to that immediately, for heaven’s sake, and experience the joy of firing off five shells per rel
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
Now we’re starting to actually see real dividends of being good guy Arthur. Honor Level +2 unlocks a special 10% discount for players at shops! Sure, it’s not like your favorite sale on a Black Friday but 10% at all shops for that sweet ammunition and clothing is a bargain in the Wild West. Ten percent might not be enough motivation for everyone to be good-guy Arthur, though, so I should probably mention here that these discounts only get better as your Honor Level progres
Minigames in open-world titles, by most accounts, can serve as bite-sized bits of variety in-between missions or while traveling across the map; good for some mild distraction, but usually not much more. But in the rare occasions, minigames like these can add a surprising amount to the believability and depth of a world beyond just its map size and scale. Given that I put in as much time into The Witcher 3 ‘s Gwent as I did in most other games by themselves, there’s certainly something to be said that when done well, open world minigames can add so much more to a believable game world in their own right. And inside the game’s world drenched in the imagery and themes of the Wild West, Red Dead Redemption ‘s minigames were definitely some of the best examples of that extra level of detail and immersion.
This next map is a bit difficult to find, since it happens on a chance encounter. Most notably found lurking at the top of a large rock to the northeast of Riggs Station, an older treasure hunter will hold the first map in the hunt; however, he is not willing to give up the map or sell it, so you’ll have to either rob him, tie him up, knock him down and make him drop the map so you can get it, or just end him permanently. Kind of dark, but there’s no other way to get this map in the g
