Red Dead Redemption 2: Beginner Tips The Game Doesn't Tell You

The black horse you get in chapter 2, the one you are "supposed" to sell, is a 1 of a kind horse and you are not required to sell it. Hold onto it, as far as i know this is the only Shire in game with stats this good and once hes gone hes gone. Hes a good boy.

The gold bar in Lipany respawns in about 10 to 15 game days.

Before any missions in Chapter 2 you can collect 6 gold bars. Several gold nuggets. Several free guns including a Lancaster repeater, Semi auto shotgun, Schofield revolver, a free varmint rifle, this rifle can be picked up from any gunsmith. Pump action shotgun and a rare double barrelled shotgun. You can also open the stables, you just cant buy a grooming brush. You can get a decent wild horse, eg thoroughbred or standardbred and tame them. You can get an off hand holster from the trapper. And can find at least 3 treasure maps and solve them.. Yes.. All before your first chapter 2 mission

8:05 ive only been playing for a few days but i very quickly learned to move slowly and carefully around NPC's that you just helped. Bumping into them on accident as they walk through a bush trying to get back to a road... yeah it upsets them and they are no longer grateful.

I imagine many players know to look the gold prospector after he finds a nugget sifting through his dirt pile, but not as many know to chase down his horse and loot that horses left side saddle bag for another gold nugget

For players entering the epilogue for the first time or second play through every treasure found by Arthur can be discovered a second time. I have not searched the train or the strange statues, but every other treasure such as pirate chests ect. including limpany gold can be found. I am headed for the eagle nest next to see if things re-spawned.

Picked it up for 20 bucks can’t wait to experience this game

Around 3000 hours played and I didn’t not know about the fishing rod 😮

The scout jacket was a new thing to me. Here's my tip: It's possible to get the Legend of the East Satchel while still camped at Horseshoe Overlook. Takes some time, but being able to carry more than 10 of nearly all items will be invaluable. Iguana can be found on an island in Lemoyne, just ride along the coast till you see a dock that points to an island in the west and that's what you're looking for. Other than that, the Cougar and Panther may be challenging as their spawns are rare until the epilogue. It'll be good to find them last so you have the skills from hunting the many other animals to keep you from getting mauled, but my best advice is to drop a save and reload as necessary. But with the satchel, you'll be able to hold 99 of most everything, great for stocking up on herbs and tonics.

I recently did a playthrough with low honor until after guarma and found redemption so to speak. All the random encounters where i killed people started showing up thanking me for helping them.

I love the volcanic pistol but if you're getting your first free gun in the game, I'd get the Springfield rifle so you have something to hunt large game with besides the bow.

Thanks for the tips this will be very helpful for me once i start playing

Played five years ago, got about 30% in. Came back to it yesterday and I can barely remember how to walk. Started a new playthrough and loving it.

I appreciate this video! I just started playing this game for the first time this past year. 😊

I just started playing..great tips.. thank you

Dude, I’ve got over 1500 hours in this game and I never knew what the mortar and pestle did on horseback! Thanks!!

The watch/time can be seen in the pause menu as well. The watch like figure on top is not just a picture, it tells you the accurate game time. Personally, checking the time via pause menus is the quickest instead of hitting multiple keys to take the watch out

Good video. Keep it up.

3:00 i have noticed if you are searching saddlebags of a horse that doesnt belong to you (you killed the owner or are just stealing) if the horse starts shaking its head after you loot the first one (not stressed, not making noise, just shaking its head or pawing the ground very slightly agitated) then 9 times out of 10 you will get kicked opening the second bag even if you give the horse a pat. I have had 5 times where this has happened and every time i had to shoot the horse to get into the bag. I just leave it now. Head shake? ok keep that bag.

If you want to wash blood or mud from Arthur but aren't near a bathhouse a swim in any body of water will remove blood or mud from him, but will give no stamina boost. I'd avoid swimming in the swamp though
