7 Advanced Tips for Outlaws in Red Dead Redemption 2 - Red Dead Redemption 2 Tips and Tricks

Guys do yourselves a favour and don't finish the main storyline until you have done everything you wished

You can never be lost if you’re finding yourself in every gorgeous corner of this game..

Imagine hunting an alligator with a bow lmao

LENNNNEEEEYYYYY!!!!!

Why would you want unlimited money in the game it sort of defeats the purpose of playing the game

I like how honourable is literally is just being a decent kinda person

I kept the shire horse from the mission with Hosea early on in the game and got super emotionally attached to it. Now I'm further on in the game and I have an Arabian horse, and the pre order bonus war horse but almost never use them because I'm so attached to my shire horse, so my tip would be make sure you don't get overly attached to your early game low stats horse 😂

It's really bugging me that you haven't studied that black Arabian yet even though you have it at lv 3 bonding ☹️

Might I add another one? Don't run in city areas while holding triangle if you want to quickly mount the horse . That's because it's the same button combo used for tackling and choking people... (Found this out the hard way ;c ) Also another one, there's no condition requirement for legendary animal s so use blast away that repeating shotgun

I don't see why ppl hunt the Arabian. Just mount your horse, equip lasso, get a decent speed, not to fast or you'll ride past the horse. And simply lasso, during dead eye if you need to. Calm and tame and your done in seconds. Did it for both my honorable and dishonorable load out.

I only hunt with dynamite arrows

Tried to beat a train with the war horse once. I dont have the war horse anymore.

A couple of things I found out: 1) If you're in the habit of taming wild horses, or "stealing" the ones the rival gangs and/or dead lawmen/bounty hunters lose in their death, it's worth having your main horse trail along behind you while you level up your bond with the tamed/stolen horse. Different breeds and coats sell for different prices, (so far the Mustang or American Paint sells the highest unless you find a rare colored Thoroughbred over a common Mustang/American Paint) but because none of them have papers you can't get full price+. The more you're bonded with a horse, the higher it sells for. Even "low end" horses like a Kentucky Saddler and Tennessee Walker will go for 7.50-ish dollars if you're at horse bond 2 and have a good rep at the stable. Your main horse will trail along behind you even if you bond with said temporary horse. You can't have more than one temporary horse, however, and if you're out of stable space don't take your rarest horse (the white Arabian for me) out as your temp horse and then try to tame another to see if you can just be a Horse Whisperer. I saved before trying and so I didn't lose my Arabian but I did lose the bond I'd built up once she became a temp horse. 2) Always accept races. There is a good chance if you're in free-roam in the first chapters (where I still am, lol) that you'll win no matter what because of overly convenient obstacles that pop up because the game assumes you still have your starter horse. I was riding my American Paint and the moment I fell behind due to misreading a hairpin turn, birds flew up in my opponent's face. Winning that particular race made it so I bond with horses even while urging them to run. 3) If you're having trouble lassoing a goat/stag/deer/etc to get that perfect pelt (with a rather gruesome up close and personal kill) try and run them into the water. It slows them down and unless you're straight up swimming Arthur will have to fight less to pull the animal in. Once it's dead if you can't get it up because it's floating away/too deep, lasso it again and drag it to shore. 4) This might seem obvious but unskinned animals last longer than their skinned versions. Especially if you're trying to sell the meat of a perfect kill at a butcher but keep the pelt for upgrades at camp and you're far away from the town where people respect you. That being said, animals that have been killed/skinned and left don't decay so fast that if they are close to somewhere that they will rot in a day. 5) Back to horses: since you'll be spending so much time with your main mount, (the black Arabian doesn't unlock until chapter 4), it never hurts to be constantly taming or stealing-ish horses. You can bond with them fairly quickly if you're constantly pressing L3 and cleaning them and it gives you a secondary horse to cart animals around on. 6) Pelts stack on the back of your horse! (I don't know the limit, I've stacked 3 so far.) 7) You gain honor for completing camp chores, which is an easy way to tick up that honor meter if you've had a bunch of encounters go awry or looting a long dead/broken down wagon is somehow… wrong. **Personally Confirmed** Your pre-order and special edition horses should always be "repurchasable" (for $0.00) at Valentine in they have died. It does, however, reset your horse bond back to level 1 (know this because I need stable space and I don't use my War Horse and don't want to sell my Arabian or my Paint.) Random note: Even if the Compendium gives you 100% on a horse breed, that doesn't mean you've actually done all of the things for that breed. I haven't ridden all of the uncommon/common varieties of the Kentucky Saddler/Tennessee Walker but I still have them ticked off as 100% in my Compendium. So for those of us who want to pull up a random horse and see 2/2 and 3/3, or whatever combination, in our Compendium, right now, it's "make a physical list yourself on your phone/notebook and check off the horses you mount up as you go because the game also doesn't tell you what you've already ridden." If anyone can tell what I've been up to beside the campaign, I'd be truly shocked 😂. (Updated the Pre-Purchase/Special Edition/Redeemable Horse Info.)

If you don’t want to waste gun oil or time, go to gun shops and have them clean your weapons for a small fee.

Not once did I get in a situation where I didn't have enough money in this game. And that was after buying the best horse and clothes I could find, paying my bounties and fully upgrading the camp. I was literally forgiving people's debts and throwing money at homeless people. Why Arthur still robs stuff I'll never know.

Kept my horse clean and fed. RUNS INTO A TREE AS I WAS BEING CHASED BY SWAMP PEOPLE

Im tired of paying bounties. Lol

Wait, you can craft more bows? I've been using the one from the start this whole time.

A tip on catching the white Arabian that I've never seen anyone give. 1st he only spawns after you do the hosea bear hunting mission. 2nd after you get on him ignore all the controls. Hold the left analog stick down and to the right in about a 5 o'clock position and press x. The games glitches here. You can tame any horse in about 5 seconds

Can't get enough of this game. Been playing like crazy barely progressed in the story. Been trying to replay Darksiders 2 to prep for darksiders 3 but damn this game is great.
