It's a fascinating game full of exciting and emotional moments, and even though it's quite long, Rockstar makes sure that every minute is enjoyable. after years RDR 2 it holds up well and is definitely worth playing.
In typical Rockstar style, the game is full of secrets and players are constantly discovering new hidden details. Whether he is a returning player or experiencing Red Dead Redemption 2 it's worth learning some of the unwritten rules of the game for the first time. Knowing them improves gameplay and helps players better understand the epic story.
How Red Dead Redemption 2 changed the game
Red Dead Redemption 2 still remains a blueprint for immersing players in a rich world with an equally strong story.
The unwritten rules of Red Dead Redemption 2's story
Spend time at Camp Van der Linde
When the gang isn't robbing or hanging out with the O'Driscolls, they take a break at the camp. Here players can rest, change clothes, do chores or just play dominoes. Although not as action-packed as exploration, it is recommended that players spend a lot of time in the camp talking to various members of the Van der Linde gang. Talking to Arthur's friends reveals more about the story and gives life to various characters. It's a good way to learn everyone's backstory and how they got into Dutch's gang.
Donate to Van Der Linde Camp
Red Dead Redemption 2 quietly encourages Arthur (and the players) to contribute to Van Der Linde's camp, but in the early parts of the story it may seem optional. Box donations and Camp Ledger investments are not formulated as mandatory goals, so they are easy to ignore; however, the more players contribute, the warmer the atmosphere around the camp. Arthur needs to take care of the people around him if he wants to belong, and directly thanks him for improving the gang's situation by unlocking upgrades or completing supplies.
The world remembers everything Arthur does
Red Dead Redemption 2the world is not static and Arthur does not live in a vacuum. Nothing really goes away, and the game not only follows Arthur's actions, but also who he is. The honor system makes it fairly easy to gauge society's opinion of Arthur, but it goes beyond a mere yardstick. NPCs remember past interactions and their behavior changes depending on whether they have a positive or negative history with the player. Committing a violent crime or getting trigger-happy has far-reaching and long-term effects rather than immediate persecution, especially when witnesses are involved. Arthur and the player must live with the consequences of their actions, and their public identities are expressed in tone rather than just statistics. This also goes both ways, as a helpful deed can inspire NPCs to help Arthur.
Avoid fast travel as much as possible
Although it may not be obvious at first glance, it is possible to travel fast RDR 2. This is done by renting a stagecoach or buying a train ticket. Alternatively, if Arthur has $545 to spare, he can unlock the fast travel map. Once you get the map, it's a breeze to fast travel from Arthur's tent in the camp. While fast travel is convenient, it is not recommended that players use it if they can avoid it. By traveling on horseback or on foot, Arthur has a good chance of encountering side quests that allow him to earn money or just learn more about the world RDR 2. If players want to squish, it's worth the time and effort involved in manual travel RDR 2 for all its contents.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Unwritten Rules of Combat and Exploration
Head to Saint Denis to raise Arthur's honor
RDR 2 it represents the honor system for Arthur and he gains honor by doing good deeds and loses honor by harming innocent people. Raising honor is important if players want to see the good ending, but it can be difficult to raise Arthur's honor by completing chores in the camp. Fortunately, there is a quick shortcut to gaining honor quickly. Simply visit Saint Denis and have Arthur visit anyone he crosses paths with. Saint Denis is so loaded with NPCs that Arthur's honor will skyrocket in no time.
If a Red Dead Redemption remake ever happens, its best possible addition is obvious
If Red Dead Redemption ever gets its long-awaited remake, one new addition may be the most important element of all.
Hunt what you need and never for sport
A lot of open world games include hunting as a side activity, but RDR2 he presents it as an inevitable part of life. Arthur hunts to live, creating an act that is purposeful and not just a distraction. Hunting is not glamorous, and the game presents the process in sobering detail. Not only is it possible to overkill an animal, but it is also senselessly cruel. Arthur should hunt only what he needs and what he can carry, and he should never leave a carcass behind because he has no room for it. RDR2 it punishes overhunting by exposing it for the wasteful act that it is. This also extends to the tools used for hunting, as players are rewarded with excellent furs if they use the ideal weapon and ammo. Careless killing is more painful for the animal and can affect Arthur's honor.
Violence is a last resort, not a first resort
Pulling the trigger is easy, so it's a tempting solution when things heat up. While the act is simple and quick, the consequences are not. A single shot often results in utter chaos, both in the immediate aftermath and because of its impact on Arthur's reputation and reward system. Witnesses do not forget or forgive and react to violence with panic. Their response in turn attracts attention and response worldwide rather than just in a given city or region. Lawmen start coming in waves and dealing with them is frustrating rather than just another way to get some kills. RDR2 he remembers the context of the violent act, which reinforces the need to de-escalate the encounter or simply choose not to fight.
Still, do a low honor game at least once
RDR 2 is a long game, but worth playing multiple times because it has multiple endings. Naturally, players will probably go for the good ending the first time, but players shouldn't neglect the bad ending just to see what happens. Playing as the badass Arthur Morgan also has several advantages, including the freedom to kill NPCs in a carefree manner without worrying about losing honor.
Rockstar knocked it out of the park RDR 2and it is possible to spend hundreds of hours on the game. It may take a long time for the fans to catch on RDR 3how busy the studio is at the moment GTA 6. However, RDR 2 it has enough content to keep fans entertained for a long time.
