Ten Things I'd like to know when I started "Red Dead Redemption 2"

<div _ngcontent-c14 = "" innerhtml = "

While I have not yet beaten Red Dead Redemption 2 my Xbox does not stop telling me Thanks to the success of my story that I am farther than 98.5% of the other players.This will happen when you play the game 10 to 12 hours a day as if that's the case. was your job (that's my job), and I think I can write one of my traditional "Ten Things" articles before everyone deepens it too much.

Some of the "to know" articles were so urgent that I have already written articles on a few of them, but if you missed them, I had to make sure that they were included here too, so apologize for all the rehearsals. I also reserve the right to add others as and when I discover them (this game is so big that this list may it probably contain 50 items), but for now, I think that's a good starting point.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a great game, but some elements of it are completely impenetrable with some strange design decisions, gameplay and UI of Rockstar. But if you want to get the most out of the game, here are ten things I'd like to know before starting Red Dead Redemption 2.

1. Your missing hat is on your horse

First, the answer to the most important urgent question of Red Dead 2 : "What the hell has happened to my hat?" Your hat will fall for almost every fist fight and many intense fights, and this leaves many players wandering without a hat for hours if they can not retrace their exact steps to find it.

Well, good news. Buried in the maze of wheel inventory options, your hat can still be found on your horse if you lose it. I thought it was your base cap initially, but the more hats I bought, the more I found I could find all on my horse, so no hat is really lost.

a note, you can save outfits and keep them on your horse. I think that upgrading the saddlebags will give you more slots for your equipment, so it's fine if you like to change clothes depending on the city you are in or weather conditions.

2. The fast journey exists, but it is well hidden

My colleague Dave Thier, who reviewed Red Dead 2 before the launch, managed to get through the 80 hours without realizing that there is a fast transportation system.

You can purchase a camp upgrade that offers more comfortable bedding for the Dutch. I mean, who wants to spend $ 200 on that, but it's necessary to unlock the next level of upgrades, which is a $ 300 Fast Travel Card that will be close to Arthur's bed. Fast Travel comes with some caveats in Red Dead . You can only travel from the camp but your horse must be in the camp to be able to work there. To make sure your horse is still at the camp, buy the upgrade in the general ledger. So yes, that will save you some time but because of its limited uses (you can not just move on the map as if it were Fallout ), travels the countryside a lot.

3. You can travel with the autopilot, but it's risky

Continuing in this way, there is a way to you "drive automatically" at home that is poorly explained in the game. I thought that the "cinematic mode" was simply to make the game cool in boring segments. What I did not know was that if your horse is running, you can switch to cinematic mode and they will follow the road regardless of your current waypoint without you having to press more buttons.

There are many disadvantages. do that, though. First, it will be slower than manually climbing somewhere because your horse runs only at an "average" speed without sprinting. This will not let you make a horse tie on the way. But more importantly, because Red Dead is a dynamic world, you'll often have problems in cinematic mode, whether it's crushing other horses or carriages if the autopilot is disheveled, or in case of specific event. . Last night, I started on an autopilot to get back to the camp, but I ran into a roadblock full of gang members looking for revenge on me, and I was filmically shredded by a machine gun. they had in the back of a wagon I could manage to regain control. You must be aware of the road most of the time.

4. Changing a Parameter Will Help Make Movement Easier

The last thing I will say about movement and traveling in the game is something I've already written, but it must be repeated. If you go into the accessibility settings in the game, you can switch from A / X button to A / X button. Although it does not work on horseback or for sprint (you will always have to overwrite A / X for this is a way to self-execute without constantly holding down 90% of the game. It also works when you're squatting, which is helpful.

5. A head is a head

One thing I learned while progressing in Red Dead 2 is that, as in most Rockstar games, it's really not an RPG. This means that the more you play, the more you really do not start fighting bigger enemies that require more shots. Everyone is right … a human being and, as such, I would not want to dwell too much on your arsenal.

What I mean by "a shot to the head is a shot to the head", is that you can use your basic Cattleman revolver and as long. when you hit enemies on the head, it kills them in the same way as a high-powered sniper. This is not Destiny or The Division where you can dump a million shots on an opposing face and they will survive through their level. Bullets are bullets here, and will kill everyone as they "should" except for sure, you. Of course, get colder guns for faster refills and harder shots, but if you can hit those head shots steadily, you can practically use what you want, and no weapons Is too bad to accomplish a mission.

6. Secondary Missions of Skip Zero's "Minor" Group

Red Dead is full of small and large missions, but those that I highly recommend not to forget are the ones you will find at the camp where a person wants to do something simple, such as going fishing or hunting or stealing a random stagecoach. While in other games, this kind of mission would be simply a quest for quest, but in Red Dead 2 they are not only extremely interesting most of the time, but they are also among the best moments of character development of the game with different members of your gang.

With Red Dead badigning you different gang members for the main missions, you can often spend hours without interacting with a specific gang member if they do not appear on the list. . But these side missions will probably put you in touch with each person on your side at least once and really make you love those characters. My favorite missions have been with Lenny, Charles, and Kieran up until now, though they keep popping up and I do not know when they will end. Do not ignore them or you will miss some of the best conversations in the game. If you do not do them, they will not be there as you go through the story.

7. Some useful user interface shortcuts

Back to the game, here are some useful user interface elements that should make the game a little less complicated

• Hold down the start key (options, no matter) to instantly display the map instead of pressing a corresponding menu button
• Hold down B / O if you are deep in the menus to instantly return to the game rather than hitting it a million times
• There is a manual save / load option in Red Dead which can be found in the "History" section of the menu
• Hold down the D key from left to left to view your diary (read it, it's good). A single tap on the left of the D-pad will allow you to see your tasks and challenges.
• Red Dead can also be played entirely in first-person mode (which makes it a little faster). Press the touchpad of the PS4 or the Display button of the Xbox to move from one object to another

It's probably more than I have not discovered yet, but it's enough for you launch.

8. Do not miss the double dress

I did not intend to include this one, but it seems like a certain many people have missed the fact that very early in the game you have the opportunity to wear guns. After performing a particularly bloody mission with Micah (you'll know one), you'll get a new case that will allow you to use two guns / turrets / truncated guns at the same time. To do this, you climb on the weapon wheel where there is a symbol with two arrows that will allow you to use two guns. Double the damage, but double the reload time. Yet he reigns.

9. These flashing red icons

These have me confused for a moment and I have therefore thought them add here. There will sometimes be a strange flashing red icon on your horse's health that will actually be a "brush" symbol, which means you have to brush your horse several times to remove the dust and make it disappear. I think that makes it less efficient in one way or another, maybe it slows down or regenerates more slowly. You will want to erase it as soon as possible. You can also guide it in the water to clean it as well.

At camp, you will often see three red icons in the corner of the screen. This indicates the level of supplies currently in the camp and if the bullet, medical cross and food icons are red, it means you run empty. The white is always there, the yellow means that it is well stocked. I still can not understand if it regenerates automatically, but if it does, it takes a long time . You may just want to pay a few dollars for a manual replenishment to prevent this from happening. event. It costs a lot less than buying all that stuff individually in town.

10. Improving Your Health and Your Dead Eye

The way you improve your stamina is very simple, but you will likely find that your health bar and dark circles are lagging behind. Dead Eye will slowly increase with head shots, but strangely, if you perform these household chores around the camp marked with black dots, you will get an increase of +5 Dead Eye per task. Also, hunting is probably the best way to speed up the race.

The health I have found improves quickly if you fight often (with bonuses usually) or if you kill a stealth knife or a throwing knife. But also, health will increase substantially thanks to fishing. Lake fishing on a boat, especially when you land big fish, will bring you a healthy dose of health, allowing you to move to the next level at a relatively fast speed if you are a hard-working fisherman.

game and there is much more to say about it, but hopefully it has been helpful and you have learned a thing or two. Please excuse yourself for everything you already knew, but it's easy for some people to miss some pretty basic details in this game. Good hunting.
