Cause that’s what hero’s do

[@DingbatToast]

Tip 0.5 Before starting the game: relax, slow down, take a few deep breaths. Imagine you're beginning a long journey and there is no rush. Otherwise you (like me) will become frustrated by the very, very slow pace of the movement system and actions. seemingly everything you do has 3 more steps and a slow animation to what normally would be instant and fast paced. The game has amazing depth and detail for everything and if you're not prepared to meet it on its own terms with regard pacing, you will become very disillusioned after reading all the super high scores and awesome reviews. Could be a bit too much like real life chores for some.

[@Clippnet]

Lmfao so true as a impatient person some of the stuff takes waaaay to long for me

[@Aplesedjr]

It’s not terribly slow, but it certainly could be faster. Realism should the last thing any developer cares about, and adding realism (which to many game developers just means make everything ridiculously slow, so slow that it’s unrealistic) should never worsen the player’s experience.

[@Jeremy-ql1or]

I have played the game twice and here is what I can recommend: 1) Money is irrelevant. You get more money just from main missions than you could ever spend. 2) You never need to buy ammo or guns. You will get more than you can use off bodies and houses. 3) Cloths changes are pointless. You will only lose health when getting shot by mobs but you will have so many health tonics it won't matter. 4) Get the white Arabian horse right away. He is by Lake Isabella in the far north west. 5) Dead eye is the key to all combat.

[@avitheus8795]

I too have played this game twice since it came out in 2018, drinking tonics before entering in combat or entering in dangerous territory is also highly advised. Robbing stagecoaches and wagons with chests in them at isolated areas is a fast way to make money as well.

[@endurable_alex8379]

I disagree with what you said about ammo. If you want to use regular ammo, then maybe, but I prefer to use express or high velocity bullets.

Another tip, instead of buying the saddle, make the alligator saddle in the trapper. The materials to craft it are super easy to gather and it is better than any purchased saddle.

[@ASRComp12]

Snake saddle better

[@themanthrmyththelegend]

Also panther saddle

[@avitheus8795]

Everyone probably knows this already, but it's best to try and unlock the entire map as soon as you can. Once you explore most of the map early on in the game, it makes it easier to find collectibles and locations which you'll need. Also make sure to do the bounty hunting missions, they are pretty easy to do and they give you some nice money as well without hurting your honor.

[@LynnR40]

The best saddles are the ones you get made at the trapper which are only the cost of one pelt per saddle. The trapper makes the saddle and you go to a stable to get the saddle equip to the horse, go to a stable then click on equipment & scroll down to where it says repurchased saddles and that’s where they will be at

[@zetetick395]

My 2 tips: The fence is available immediately in chapter 1 without doing Hosea's Emerald Ranch mission if you just go to Saint Denis. The off-hand holster is also available immediately in chapter 1 without breaking Micah out of the pokey if you just get the Herbalist level 1 and get the bonus off-hand holster.

[@Rsharma1614]

Tips from my experience: 1. There's no point in saving up your money until you reach the Epilogue, so splurge on camp and gun upgrades whenever you have the money. 2. There's a Veteran stranger mission that you might want to play for when the epilogue starts or else you'll lose something precious eventually. But that again depends on you. 3. This game is really immersive even when you're travelling from one place to another while riding the horse so interact with whatever stranger missions that come your way, abandoned buildings and all to get the most out of it. 3. When riding you're on your horse, have a finger on the "calming" button in order to randomly calm your horse when the opportunity strikes. This helps with bonding with the horse quicker. 4. There's no point in collecting or buying horses until you reach the Epilogue. Focus on getting the white Arabian a little after the second chapter and you'll be set throughout the main story. The White Arabian is one of the hardest horses to kill during your gun fights so that comes in handy. 5. Speaking of horses dying, don't take it for granted. You could fall off a high cliff or get hit by a train and you wouldn't know. So keep a horse reviver handy at all times. 6. Finally when you're hunting animals, such as deers, buck, boars it's easier to go after them on a fast horse and lasso and have a clean kill. Instead of using an arrow or varmint rifle/.22 ammo. Sure some hunts require the arrow/throwing knife or bigger ones require the varmint so figure that out on your hunting missions. Avoid shotguns at all cost if you're looking for a perfect pelt. 7. Get a rifle with scope sooner in the game. It'll make missions where you have to fight enemies, hunt animals much much easier. I rarely used the dead eye so these rifle came in handy and the shotguns for closer ranges. But once you reach Saint Denis, they have a semi-automatic pistol, that's the most modern handgun you could get. So people not fan of the revolvers and the never-ending reloading time can go for that. Hope this helps. Feel free to comment for any questions that you may have.

[@kalgeriax1016]

To be honest in beginning you don't have to worry too much on money. I would suggest get weapons and upgrade asap. Since there are multiple ways to gain more especially quest that involved robbing. And once you unlock trapper it's easy money. (One you can find near Riggs Station, there's hill near to the station. You need to go there to reveal him.) Note: You need to learn how to hunt properly. Some animals need specific guns or arrow type to hunt. Use Binocular and study the animal will reveal the weapon suitable for it and the "material" quality next to the animal name. Cook the meat and sell the pelts.

Thank you ! Still playing this game today only for my second play through … has to be the best cinematic and story telling video game I have ever played.

[@tomle2553]

I might be alone in this.. first let me preface this by saying, yes, this game is epic. It's really good. But for a casual gamer (was more hardcore in my youth) I find that it's toooo overwhelming. If that's such a thing. They pack so much into this game I don't know where to start. I get too OCD and wonder if I'm doing things correctly and how things will affect me later. I guess I realized, for me, what type of gamer I am now.. and for me, less is more. I think this game is "too open" for me. And it makes me sad cause I really did want to like this game. Provisions, tonics, crafting, pelts, I mean.. damn. I guess I might be too simple.

Just wanna say, quit with the gold glitch. You're just wasting your time(an it DOES take quite a bit if time saving and loading, saving and loading) once you do the mission where you rob the bank in Valentine, you have more money then you're ever gonna need.(as long as you follow the dont buy guns/horses tip and you keep picking up the smaller amounts of money here and there.

[@kingofallyeets1222]

It only takes 1 save and load and it's great for money if you want to stay in chapter 2 (best chapter)

[@matthewbyrd5279]

There's a trick to getting a good horse in chapter 2 .. Wait until you do the hosea hunting mission because if you get a horse you like before that mission you will loose it because hosea gives you a horse and takes you to the Valentine horse stable and your better off to sell it and buy the warmblood horse they off you for 15 dollors and then after that mission go find the better horse

Some of the best horses are found in the wild. There are 3 Arabians that can be found in the wild, The White Arabian just to the left of Lake Isabella, the Red Chestnut Arabian Southwest of Owanjila, and the Warped Brindle Arabian west of the Wapiti Indian Reservation

[@LordTrayus]

For anyone who still hasn't found out about this, you can steal a black arabian from St. Denis as soon as you hit Chapter 2. There is a random event in front of the theatre at night where a couple is getting robbed. You can walk right past the event and find the robber's black arabian hitched to a post. Personally, I think this is a batman easter egg where Bruce Wayne's parents are killed in front of a theatre with the Dark Knight/Bruce Wayne/Black arabian looking on. But I could be just reading too much into it

I’m on my second play through now. I just got the game a couple weeks ago and I’m obsessed. My biggest tip for any new players is HUNT HUNT HUNT. Gather all the perfect pelts you can get and use them to craft the Legends of the East satchel from Pearson. It makes such a huge difference with the amount of materials you can carry. Even after you’ve gotten the satchels, keep hunting for perfect pelts and selling them to the trapper for cool clothing items and saddles.

I actually did the legendary animals very early first time around, mainly because I'm more of an exploring gamer, and when I get a rockstar game, the first thing |I d is go and explore. I kept noticing the warning come up that I was in a legendary animals domain, so decided to hunt it. Also because I always explore the map asap, I found st denis and was able to get the trapper and the fence there quite early in the game. It means I've still not finished the game though, as I only had limited time with it n PS4, so and I put all my time into doing my own thing. I have the game on PC now though, so playing it again. I did a bit of the story (up to where I can free micah and also when I need to get that fella from blackwater) but now I'm gonna go and get my white horse, and then go hunting. I think I should probs try and get the sniper rifle first, but I can't remember what mission I need for it. TBH the rifles I do have access to at the moment have a fair bit of distance on them already, and I like hunting with the bow and arrow anyway. I think maybe poison arrows might be the way to go, as it will drop almost anything I would imagine, you will just have to chase it a bit. you can't loose quality on legendary animals though, so by rights you could throw dynamite at it probably. ha ha.

Hey, MrB. I dig your RDR2 vids! I haven't watched them all, so this may not be news, but if you complete everything but the last part of The Veteran side quest as Arthur, you can go finish it 1st thing as John. Not only do you get The Veteran's awesome horse, you'll automatically be given a Cattleman Revolver to shoot the wild boar! Thus giving you access to a firearm before the game wants you to have one. Sadly, you can't customize it at shops while working at the ranch, but it's a cool workaround. Put that with the Pig Farm Bank trick and you can have a sweet rise plus thousands of bucks as John before lifting a finger for chore work at the ranch.

If you want to catch the white arabian, I suggest catching a couple other wild horses first. For some reason the game doesn't want that one to be your first catch. At least that's been my experience. I tried for hours in my game to catch it to no avail but in a KZbin vid I was watching about it (It was a vid about how to get each of the arabians) sorry I don't remember the youtubers name, he mentions if your having a hard time catching the white arabian to go catch a couple other wild horses first. I did that and was able to catch it fairly easy after that.

I had no problem with it the first or second time catching it and that was even before I knew how to break a horse since it's different from the first red dead.

Do the neccesary missions in chapter 2 to be able to upgrade your satchel all the way. Buy Mr. Pearson his leatherwork tools and get the free travel option, it`s a gamechanger! Get the Bolt Action rifle early in Valentine (random hanging scene) Watch the lawmen; one is carrying a repeter, the other a bolt action. Take him out and RUN! Lancaster in the gunshop in Rhodes, pump-action shotgun in Chez Porter, Big Walley, free cash (respawning) in the small hut behind Shady Belle. Btw; I was able to get the Hall-gang map 1 in chapter 1 when catching & bringing in Kieran "the O`Driscill boy" In optons; set horse control to "horse relative" & running mode to "hold to run".

Also, you didn’t answer - what does “horse relative” do? I thought there’d be an animal or 2 in the blackwater region for the satchels (like the panther maybe), so that’s good to know.
