7 Outside Map Secrets That Are Very Hard for New Players to Track Down - RDR2

5:53 these cubes are usually placed by devs to call a specific function. There are a lot in the game but usually they are placed under the map. Edit: After further investigating this myself in-game I can say that this specific cube was used while editing the map in some way. It´s very obvious that it was used as either a point to select, or a marker for where devs can stop adding foliage. There are multiple textures intersecting and the foliage becomes pretty much 0 after that point. it also seems to line up with where the original RDR2 map ended (Exculding New Austin)

[@Union_Jack_official]

A specific function that was never used since Mexico was scrapped

[@seekay237]

@@Union_Jack_official the function that is called is not necessary tied to the location of that cube. Considering it's location it could trigger the Guarma map to load but I'm just speculating.

[@seekay237]

@@Union_Jack_official also after gaining a lot more knowledge on the topic it doesn't seem like Mexico was scrapped. It was never meant to be included and possibly even the entire south west of the map was not originally included when they started development. When you explore that area it becomes obvious that they used the map from the original game and remastered everything that was needed. Mexico was part of that map and you could go there but apparently RDR2s story never found an excuse to make the player go there so why bother putting that much time and money into a part of the map that will pretty much be dead space. It was textured and received the same (auto generated?) Vegetation placement as many other parts just outside the map and Rockstar never planned on including Mexico. Still confused why they never did anything with it in online as it's still a fully modelled and textured place that could have made for a HUGE update without that much effort.

[@Nocreap]

wait, isn’t that a 3D modeling cube? Because I am currently in my first year of 3D and video game school in France and generally, these cubes are for creating an item, or something else..

[@seekay237]

@@Nocreap it's just the most basic 3D shape and supported by pretty much anything. That's also why 3D software usually gives you a camera, light and cube an an empty project as you will need some starting point regardless. In this case this basic 3D shape is most likely just there to call some script or something similar. Or at least it might have been used for that during development and no one bothered removing it as it's way outside the explorable map.

[@MOONSUN4Life]

Those aren't just difficult to find for new players, but for veteran players as well! 👍 I think that floating block at #5 is Gavin 😆 All joking aside, though, when I see the unfinished Mexico map in this game, it makes me a little sad.

Isn't that a bit unreasonable? It's not like RDR 2 is a "small" game. It's more than big enough even with New Austin being quite trivial compared to the main region, and the epilogue being not exactly a patch on chapters 1 to 6. We don't exactly "need" Mexico as more than just something to note from the border in truth.

[@SuperAzoz99]

I think and this is just speculation that they intended to do a John Marston DLC that is practically a Remake of RDR1, this would blow the gaming world's mind but I guess Take-Two didn't approve. I would guess the return on investment for such a massive DLC (one the size of a full game) wasn't as big as making another GTAOnline DLC, or keeping resources for GTA6.

[@Requiemslove]

@@SuperAzoz99 A shame. But honestly I'm not surprised if they had plans but the publisher chose to block them. I think they made a mistake, obviously. No telling how much a essentially fully fledged remake [in practical terms] of the first game would have blown up, even as DLC. More grating is that a remake OF RDR 1 was in the pipelines, but they shut it down. There's no smoke without fire and there was a LOT of fire on that one. I'll be completely honest here. "IF" they did a package deal in which they remaster RDR2 for the current gen consoles but also did a remake or big remaster of the 1st game all under one roof, if the price was right I WOULD buy that. But that would only be if people who already own one or both games, could get a significant discount, even if they priced it for any first time buyers at £69.99, that's fine, but people who already own your games who just want a DEFINITIVE edition, should get it for something like £30 to £40 or so.

[@Requiemslove]

Because newer guns and cars and explosions and all that sort of stuff is seen as "cooler" than cowboy old worldy wild west stuff. Yes. I know. It's rather sad. And I refuse to not be MAD about it. But there's sod all we can do. I've played both RDR 2 and GTA V [story mode] for probably nigh on a thousand hours each. And you know what? I think overall, RDR 2 trumps GTA V. And they SHOULD HAVE gone all in on RDR 2's online and story campaign modes. Because online is a ghost town from what I hear right now, and the story mode DESERVED some manner of expansive DLC. [Sadly they still wanted to keep milking GTA online]

[@markwillibey6022]

@Requiemslove the "new" missions are copy and paste of old missions for GTA online. And don't get me started on the freaking business partners. I've even come up with a few ideas that would work for RDO and still give players what they crave. For Sisaka, you could have similar missions to break out a prisoner like in story mode, but the reward could be a rare treasure map for Guarma or Mexico. Also, you could smuggle out items from Guarma for any blood money NPC. A Mexico mission could be stealing cocaine for a blood money NPC. There could be new opportunities for all the roles as well. I'm not mad, just confused about how the hell they're missing this.
