Most likely, your travels in Red Dead Redemption 2 are not going to be peaceful little getaways. You’re going to run into many dangerous situations as you make your way through the game, and your horse is going to notice them; each and every one. From straying a little too close for comfort to a predator, to getting into a gunfight, or any number of other risky situations you get into, your horse is going to get uncomfortable pretty of
As the saying goes, “there’s plenty of fish in the sea.” The same can more or less be said of Red Dead Redemption 2 : there are plenty of horses in the Old West. You’ve got a lot of different options when it comes to who you choose to be your traveling companion, and whatever horse you choose, they’ll be sure to appreciate the gesture. The more you use the same horse, doing just about anything, the more your horse is going to trust you. And in the same vein, the more you use the same horse, the more you may grow to trust the ho
Okay, so you’ve bonded with your horse. What exactly does that get you? Well, it turns out there are quite a few different benefits to having a horse in your corner. There are some gradual bonuses; the more you’ve bonded with your horse, the further your horse will be willing to gallop on its own when it hears you whistle. It’s certainly not going to run across the map when you call, but the range definitely does improve. And, the more you bond with your horse, the less likely it is to get stolen. Apparently those talks about “Stranger Danger” paid off. Your horse will also be willing to wade into deeper waters with you, and generally be fine with going into sketchier terr
You can find a horse out in the wild and tame them, or you can buy a new horse at a stable. Either way, be sure to study your new horse and learn what you can about them. And remember that, whatever horse you choose, they’re embarking on this new journey with you. They’re putting their trust in you. You’re becoming their new best fri
You get hold of a horse brush pretty early on in the game, and it’s a little bit dual-purpose. Throughout your travels, your horse is going to get pretty dirty (just like you). The dirtier your horse, the quicker the horse’s cores are going to drain. Brushing your horse cleans it, as does running it through a body of water. The brush also gains you some kudos from your horse, who deeply appreciates being brus
Interestingly, the mission actually gives you a choice. You can simply threaten Thomas if you want. Despite this, the immediate cutscenes shows a bloody and bruised Thomas as if Arthur did beat him up. Player freedom resulted in a cutscenes that will be totally inaccurate for more passive play
I felt pressured numerous times throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 to care for the Van der Linde Gang. My campsites keep reminding me to socialize and donate my money to the comfort of the group. I must have sunken thousands of dollars to make the gang ha
Consistency is important in any medium, but doubly so for video games. If the gameplay does not infer the narrative or vise versa, what’s the point of making a video game in the first place? Create a world that can only exist in this medium or don’t create them at all. Naturally, this means everything mechanic should co
So buckle your holsters and saddle your horses, for we are about to embark on a most treacherous journey. Here are some flaws in one of the most popular games available today. The going will be difficult, and we may suffer the slings and arrows of staunch Red Dead supporters, but we’ll take it nice and easy. Read on if you aren’t afraid to laugh with me about some of Red Dead Redemption 2’s most nonsensical aspe
Holding L2 or LT, depending on your system, and clicking in the left joystick will prod Arthur into giving your horse a reassuring pat on the head/neck, which keeps your horse reasonable and gains a little bit more of your horse’s tr
I told you that the discounts only get better! This is an exclusive 25% good-guy Arthur discount. If you thought 10% was good, you’re gonna love this one. Honor Level +5 grants players 25% off items like ammunition, clothing, and consumables in shops. The Wild West really remembers and rewards good de
There are few companions that are going to accompany you for the entirety of Red Dead Redemption 2 multiplayer 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
