This is great and all, but it also means one thing: fast travel is going to be a necessity. Yes, you can unlock fast travel in the game, but how, where and when? Stick around, friend, and we’ll explain everyth

Red Dead Redemption 2 Challenges Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar’s smash hit sequel to their beloved story about a former outlaw hunting down his old game. What’s more is that RDR2 is also a prequel to the original game, which allows for Rockstar to insert as many tributes and foreshadowing into the new story as they please. Well, boy did they deliver! This time around, you play as Arthur Morgan, the Van der Linde gang lieutenant who witnesses the twilight days of John’s infamous former gang and must make hard choices concerning just who and what he is loyal

The journal is a stellar hand-written chronicle of the game’s story and your influence woven together from the perspective of the game’s two leads. It is richly-detailed in an engrossing way that made me play around it. Instead of opening it when I had a chance, I made time for it.

The stranger mission A Test of Faith is triggered after coming across amateur paleontologist Deborah MacGuiness. She tasks you with finding thirty dinosaur bones, which are littered throughout the enormous map. Not only is an internet guide required for this mission (because there's no way you're finding the bones on your own,) but riding to each specific location is tedious work. After a few hours of riding around the massive map and documenting dinosaur bones, you'll be rewarded with a skull statue and a special knife. It's kind of worth it for the funny cutscene, but don't go into the mission expecting a serious rew

There are sixteen legendary animals to be found throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 , and luckily, none of them are very hard to find or eliminate. All it takes is acquiring the legendary animal map, riding to the location, and quickly disposing of the animal. It takes maybe ten minutes, and the animals don't put up much of a challenge. You can then sell their skins (and some of their bodies) to the trapper who pays quite handsomely for the rare items. If that wasn't all, you can also use their parts to craft trinkets and special garments and outfits. Going after the legendary animals is a no-brai

While this weapon does have some decent accuracy and reload speed, its damage really lets you down. This weapon is mostly used for hunting down medium to large prey and can help you out in a shootout with a large group, but you will most likely have something better on you for fighting. It seems to be a waste to just have a weapon for primarily hunting animals instead of a multi-purpose weapon that can hunt and fight inst

In case you haven’t heard, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a Western-themed action-adventure game starring Arthur Morgan, a Van der Linde gang member dealing with the decline of the Wild Western way of life and fighting against government forces and other gangs. This game also follows John Marston, the protagonist from the first Red Dead Redemption . From shoot-outs to hunting to riding along the prairie, this game brings the nostalgia of the Wild West into a harsh and gritty real-world perspective. Everything is done in real time and is instilled with a sense of realism; no crazy video game tactics here. If you want to live out your childhood cowboy dream as a grown-up, Rockstar have you covered with this new installm

Geology for Beginners is a stranger mission given to you by the maybe time-traveling Francis Sinclair, who tasks you with finding various rock carvings. Unlike the dreaded dinosaur bones which take forever, this is over in no time at all. After finding just one carving, you are paid $10 (and a bottle of bourbon). And after five, you are given a rock statue which can be sold to a fence for $50. All told, you are given a cool $60 after finding just five rock carvings, which shouldn't take very long (provided you use a guide.) Plus you get to see all the trippy engravings, so it's a win-

When the main chapters of Red Dead ’s story pass into the epilogues and John takes the reins for the rest of the game, he has Arthur’s journal. Arthur gave John his satchel and it inspires the rugged and stubborn to-be-rancher to express himself. John has a difficult time opening up to those he truly loves, Abigail and Jack, and expressing emotions doesn’t come easily to him. But through Arthur’s life and death, John begins to learn how to speak what’s not only on his mind, but etched on his heart.

The same’s true of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Money’s pretty tight for Arthur and his gang, especially early on. You might be itching to unlock fast travel as soon as possible, but it doesn’t come ch

If you'd prefer to live a more honest life, then hunting is always an option. Unfortunately, it doesn't pay nearly as well as stealing wagons. Hunting animals is not only risky business, but it's hard work. You have to find an animal, hope that it's a nice three-star version, and then dispose of it cleanly. Then you have to skin it and ride it back to the butcher's, all for maybe $10 in pelts and meat. In the time it takes you to hunt four perfect animals for $40 you could have stolen one wagon outside Emerald Ranch. Plus you get your clothes and your horse all messy, and who wants t
