If you’ve been looking forward to unlocking the Repeating Shotgun in hopes that it’s something of an AA12, I’m sorry to disappoint. The Repeating Shotgun in Red Dead Redemption 2 is somewhat disappointing, particularly when compared to the pump-action and semi-auto. It does the same amount of damage as the pump-action, but it lacks its accuracy. Despite being a repeater, it also has a slower rate of fire than the semi-auto. Is it worth its $185 price? Absolutely not, sa
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
While you can unlock fast travel fairly early on by upgrading your tent, the game does have a pseudo-fast travel system built in. If you set a custom waypoint on your map, switch to cinematic view, and then set your horse running by holding down X/A, the horse will make its way to the waypoint. You don’t need to even hold the button down. You can go and make a cup of tea/coffee if you like, and when you come back, your horse should be at the destinat
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
I don’t know if it’s on purpose or a happy accident, but the horse skinning skip is back. In the original Red Dead Redemptio n with our boy John Marston, there was a simple trick. The animation for skinning an animal was actually shorter back then but people were still impati
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
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
But what I don’t dig, however, is how horribly unlucky he seems to be. This musician was born with a lot of problems, but seems to be dealing with them on his terms. There are actually a fair amount of what society would consider “social outcasts” spread throughout the game wo
So, maybe you’re still pootling along in Chapter 2, messing about in the world and trying to drink it all. It’s a commendable attitude, it really is, but there are good reasons to carry on. One of them being the Dead Eye upgrades you get through the story. Once you hit Dead Eye level 4, a fantastic ability unlocks: you’re able to see animals’ weak points as glowing Red Dead Redemption 2 Challenges spots on their bodies. It works on people too! Shoot here to get a clean shot every single time, as long as you’re using a strong enough wea
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
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
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
