The Red Dead series has never been grounded in reality. From as early as Red Dead Revolver , Red Harlow’s adventures were basically a glorified cartoon. The game was even going to feature supernatural elements at one point. Come Redemption , the tone has gotten more serious, but John Marston is still an interpretation of the legendary gunslinger tr
You’ll figure out pretty early on that there are certain items you get that it seems like you just can’t sell to anybody, which can be a shame, because a lot of these seem to be pretty big-ticket items. So what are they good
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
Well, a little bit into the story, you’ll find a fence that’s willing to buy stolen caravans. What you don’t find out right away is that they will also buy a lot of stolen valuables, and they are the only place to buy certain items, like lock breakers. They’ll also allow you to craft things you can’t anywhere else, like trinkets and talism
Everyone is accounted for. Everyone save for Karen. The most Karen gets near the finale is a mention in Arthur’s notebook that she turned to drink. Meeting Mary-Beth in Saint Denis reiterates this idea and that’s as far as it goes. Does it make sense? Perhaps, but everyone else got their little epilogue. It seems strange Karen didn’t appear even in the form of a gr
In Chapter 2, Arthur takes Jack on an impromptu fishing trip. As John hasn’t been the best father prior to the events of the prequel, it’s up to the other men of the camp to serve as a good role model for Jack. Only Arthur is able to fill that role, however, so Abigail requests he spend time with the
During the final mission of Chapter 6, Arthur Morgan can make one of two choices: help John Marston escape thus bringing the arc he has been following all game to a close and ensuring that the Marston family someone finds a better life or… go back to steal money that Arthur hasn’t cared about all g
This ammo can be crafted with regular bullets and your hunting knife at your camp, and having them equipped means you’re going to drain your Dead Eye ability slower, making you that much more lethal for every engagement. As simple as this ammo is to make, it’s pretty easy to have plenty of it on you at any given t
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
Interestingly, we heard that a “highly-anticipated title from one of 2K’s biggest franchises” that was planned for the current fiscal year will now launch in the next, which means between April 1st, 2019 and March 31st, 2020. This game has been teased in the past few financial reports, and many believe it to be Borderlands 3 . The reason for the delay is explained as giving the title additional development t
Made up of six chapters and two epilogues, Red Dead Redemption II ’s story is over twice as long as the first game’s. Arthur Morgan’s storyline simply dwarfs John Marston’s in terms of raw content. Is is better, though? When it comes down to it, probably not. For as amazing as the plot actually is, juggling sophisticated themes right up to the very end, the original Red Dead Redemption 2 Challenges Dead Redemption simply tells the tighter story. Due to being shorter, there is next to no fluff and every moment counts. The same cannot be said for Arthur’s odyssey across the Wild W
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
Red Dead Redemption 2 is, perhaps, one of the most inventive and game-changing releases in modern memory. Games that completely flip the table and set a new standard for the years to follow are few and far between, and you can be excused for not knowing how exactly to do everything in-game right off the bat. Hours and hours in and I’m still learning about mechanics and cool little tricks to do, and it seems like every few minutes the game is unfolding another facet for me to le
But once you do, strut on up to the mask on the back wall, and pull it down. Arthur’ll be sporting a fancy little cat skull now. Granted, it clips through here and thee, but still a great hidden acces
