30 Things Only Super Fans Knew They Could Do In Red Dead Redemption 2

Now, before anyone complains, I will admit that the Varmint Rifle is great for dealing with, well, varmints. Taking out small wildlife requires a delicate touch, and this is what said rifle provides. What it does not provide is the firepower to take down bounty hunters, gang members, or lawmen. The weapon does less than half the damage that the Springfield and Bolt-Action rifles do. About the only thing it has going for it is that it's got a fast fire rate and a good-sized magazine. However, you'll need that if you're going to fire enough lead to down anyb


Kratos might be skilled at fighting gods and monsters, but he will be facing an entirely new kind of opponent at the 2018 Game Awards, as God of War is facing off against Red Dead Redemption 2 in every category that they are nominated


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 walkthrough 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


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


One thing that actually really winds me up in Red Dead is that when you die, you don't lose your bounty. Come on now. If you're up for a bit of gaminess, there is a solution. Spend or donate all of your cash, go to the local sheriff's office, wherever you have a bounty where you have a bounty. Antagonize him (call him a yellow-belly or something), until he turns hostile. Surrender yourself. You’ll spend time in prison, and your bounty will be gone. You lose all your money if you can’t afford the bounty, but if you’ve got rid of it all, no prob


God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 will be competing in the Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Score/Music, Best Audio Design, Best Action/Adventure, and the Game of the Year awa


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


Say you're robbing a stagecoach or a train, one thing you really don't want to happen is for you to lose your horse. Trying to make a quick getaway on foot is nigh-on impossible, and can be extraordinarily fatal if you're being pursued by enough lawmen to arrest a whole county. There's an easy solution: just hold up on the D-pad, and your horse will follow you along as you rob and slaughter your way about. Then, when you've got your cash, get off, jump on your horse, and hightail it into the sun


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


This ends up becoming one of the flaws in Red Dead Redemption 2. Shoot-outs start to happen whether you want them to or not. Stealthing becomes a concept of the past. Towards the end of the game, it feels as if your gun is glued to your h


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

Stare at it for a few moments and you'll soon see a large group of creepy looking people running at you from the trees. Deal with the enemies how you see fit, but once you do, shoot down the body from the tree, and you’ll retrieve a letter telling you all about the enemies you just encountered, who simply go by the name "The Nite Fo


How do you fancy being able to circle strafe around enemies while riding your horse? If you want to channel your inner 90s FPS protagonist and combine power and maneuverability, you can! All you have to do is hold down Square/X and a direction on the X-axis. Another little bit of advanced equine tactics for you: if you want to do a sharp 90-degree turn, you can do so by holding down R1/RB and hitting a direction on the X-a
