Following on from the last entry, here’s another really handy little timesaver. If you’re deep in menus, as it’s very easy to be in Red Dead Redemption 2 , you don’t need to manually back out of each individual one. Instead, the easiest way to get out of them is to simply hold down Circle/B, instead of tapping it. This drags you all the way out of them, returning you to gameplay instantly. Quite why the game doesn’t tell you this, I have no i
Red Dead Redemption 2 missions Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best shotguns I’ve ever used in recent years, and chief among them (at least in terms of standard weapons), is the pump-action. Packing a ridiculous amount of punch, whether loaded with regular ammo or slugs, it’s also got a fairly decent range on it. The fire rate is good, and if you get a shot in on someone’s head or one of their limbs, then uh…things aren’t looking at all good for t
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
Make your enemies say night, night, with Midnight’s Pistol. Received as part of the stranger mission “The Noblest Of Men And A Woman,” Billy’s pistol has a dark past. However, despite its huge number of uses over the years, boy does it still work. The pistol, a variant of the semi-auto, does standard damage, to begin with, but persist with it, and you’ll gain affinity. Once you’ve done this, its damage skyrockets. Its damage becomes one of the highest of the game’s pistols, while also having an exceptionally quick reload t
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
God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2 will also be competing through proxies in the Best Performance category, with Christopher Judge as Kratos and Roger Clark as Arthur Morgan representing their respective ga
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
This NPC is around the top of New Hanover and seems to have literally hollowed out a tree for himself. Don’t ask me how. I have no idea. But, Arthur can converse with him and that’s where we find out he’s dubbed himself the so-called “King of the Forest”. A bit narcissistic if you ask
Wait, I hear you say, “a viking hatchet?” Yes indeedy! There’s a Viking ruin in the game located just across the river from Annesburg, to the northwest. In the middle of this tomb, near an altar, you’ll find the viking hatchet. Wielding it not only lets you get your Ragnar Lothbrok on, but also packs a massive punch. It’s a throwable that does quite a bit more damage than your standard throwing knife, while also looking very, very cool ind
In this article, we’re going to talk about which two weapons you should have to hand, and which ones you shouldn’t bother with. The game has far more weapons than it seems at first glance, and some of them you definitely don’t want to be charging into a gang hideout with. There are a dizzying variety of shotguns, rifles, repeaters, pistols, revolvers, even melee weapons, despite it seeming like there’s only a handful at the start of the game. Not all of them are worth bothering with. For instance, that varmint rifle you get? Don’t even try to use that in combat. Instead, switch to a pump-action shotgun, a bolt-action rifle, or a pair of trusty Volcanic Pistols. Without any further ado, let’s begin the countdown: apologies if I slaughter one of your sacred c
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
However, the bandana isn’t an item that comes without consequence. For instance, lawmen don’t particularly react well to seeing a masked stranger, whether you’ve done anything wrong or not. And, wearing a bandana, committing a crime, and coming into town in the same outfit minus the bandana isn’t going to do much for you. After all, the NPC’s in this game aren’t idiots. Make sure you’ve got an entirely different outfit for your criminal activities, and you’ll find the lasting consequences much less sev
