Tips and basics before playing

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action adventure in open world especially large, complex and full of possibilities, which also adds some realistic touches and survival unusual in Rockstar games.

Next we are going to give you a series of tips and details to take into account to face a game as big and complex as this, and that does not get choked in the first hours.

  • Welcome to a western - Red Dead Redemption 2, unlike other more crazy and frenetic Rockstar titles like GTA, is a slower and slower adventure, which invites you to explore and contemplate its scenarios, dedicate time to hunt and fish, search secrets and curious characters in its wide world, with continuous movements on horseback. This is also reflected in the actions of the character, a corpulent guy with slow animations, and who has a very physical relationship with the stage. It is also a very long adventure, so our first recommendation is that you play without hurry, and enjoy everything that has to offer, which is a lot.
  • Adjust the shootings to your liking - In the pause menu, in Settings and Controls, we can adjust a multitude of options related to pointing. This is something important, since you will spend hours shooting, and depending on how you adjust these options you can have a more or less demanding experience, which fits each type of player. Of course, although you put the shootings on foot in manual pointing or with very little assistance, we recommend that on horseback if you use assisted aiming, as it is quite difficult to hit a target in these circumstances.
  • Understand the meaning of the nuclei - The health system, resistance and Dead Eye is somewhat peculiar, and if you do not understand and assimilate well at the beginning it can bring some problems. It really is very simple; the outside of the cores indicates the health or resistance you have available, and the interior the speed at which these parameters are going to regenerate. You have to consume food, drinks or elixirs to recover them, or even sleep to recover from fatigue.
  • Always carry resuscitator with you for your horse - Horses are very important, and with the passing of the hours you are creating a bond with them that unlocks new movements and makes your horse better and better. At any time, with an accident as simple as tripping over a rock and falling down a slope, your horse can be badly injured and die forever. To avoid this, always carry with you a rescuer for horse, an object that can be bought in any store and that can serve you to save your horse if it is badly wounded. If you have a serious accident and do not have this object will die, so do not forget to always carry one with you.
  • Focus on the story in the first hours - Practically the first two chapters of the game can be considered a long tutorial, in which they explain many concepts and their different possibilities are opened. Although it may seem that the beginning of Chapter 2, when you set up the first camp, it may be a good time to explore the huge world because it is already available, we really do not recommend it, because there are many of the features of the game that are not yet available, like fishing, since the fishing rod is not given to you until you carry out a certain mission. Therefore we recommend that you focus on the main story in the first two chapters, we assure you that later you will have many hours and freedom to explore to your liking and move on from history.
  • Do not get obsessed with money - Although in the first hours you are very just about money, and you will not be able to buy all the weapons or horses you want, according to advances in the main story you will get large sums of money, and when you have spent about three chapters this will no longer be a problem. Sacking the bodies of the enemies you find money and especially objects that you can sell for good sums, but we know that it is tedious to loot dozens of bodies after a great shooting. Do not obsess about the money and advance in the story, as it just arrived. In our section on How to earn money easily we give you some tips on this.
  • Talk with the bandmates, immerse yourself in the narrative - The story of the game is not only told through the cinematics or dialogues of the main missions, and there are many other moments in which we can receive crucial information to understand both the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 as its characters. Buy and read the newspapers, usually read Arthur Morgan's diary, and do not miss the opportunity to have a conversation with a bandmate or listen to what they are talking about, since in these seemingly unimportant moments we find some of the most emotional conversations of the game.
  • There is no "lost" content - Although the temporary jumps that occur in the game can give the feeling that there are missions or content that can be left behind and lose them forever, really, and without entering spoilers, there is nothing important that you can leave behind and that you can not do later. In any case we remind you to save manually (Pause menu, History) in case you see that you are reaching the end of the story make a manual save, for reasons you will understand.
  • You can repeat the missions at any time - If there is a mission of the story that you especially liked, spectacular or fun, you have to know that in the Pause, Progress, History menu you can repeat any mission you have played, and also try realize the secondary objectives.
  • There is a quick trip - Although it is not available from the beginning of the adventure, later you will have different ways to travel from one point to another on the map quickly, so do not worry that you will not always have to take long horseback rides to get to a place

Challenges

There are 90 challenges of hunting, exploration, horseback riding, herbage gathering, gunfights and even mini-games, and every time we perform one of them we unlock special equipment in the trapper.

Legendary animals

We can hunt and fish more than 200 animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, but there are some legendary animals, creatures with special characteristics that if we hunt they give us unique materials, with which we can create special costumes and exotic talismans.

Hunting, fishing and mini-games

In addition to carrying out numerous history or secondary missions, we can also carry out other types of activities, such as hunting and fishing or playing poker, dominoes or knives.
