Here you find an overview of the most important features in Red Dead Redemption 2, so that you’re off to a good start.
Characters
Arthur Morgan is the main character and playable protagonist in Red Dead Redemption 2. He has the Deadeye ability. If you want to learn more about that, you can have a look at the post in our forum.
John “Jack” Marston Jr. is an important character in the Read Dead series. Jack is the secondary protagonist of Red Dead Redemption and a supporting character in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Another supporting character is Kieran Duffy, who appears in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Locations
New Austin is one of the five American States in Red Dead Redemption 2. The second largest territory is New Hanover. In New Hanover, the landscape consists mainly of forests and open areas. New Hanover is in the process of modernization.
There are also a lot of unique locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 such as the circus wagons. You can discover a small convoy of abandoned circus wagons in West Elizabeth.
Map
Developer Rockstar has created a really impressive map for Red Dead Redemption 2, which takes place during the 19th century where riding your horse was the main way of transportation. To ensure that your horse does not get tired during your long journeys, PLITCH offers a horse cheat code for Infinite Stamina.
Although the game world is huge, Rockstar made sure that it is also very detailed and lively so that exploring it never gets boring. The scenery is amazing and full of inhabitants. You can use the map to figure out which states and cities you want to visit.
Horse and Horse Brush
A Horse Brush is essential for keeping your horse clean. If you don’t, your horse will lose health and stamina way faster, unless you activate the PLITCH horse cheat code for Unlimited Stamina.
You get the free Horse Brush on a mission called “Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego” which takes place in chapter 2. After purchasing a horse from the stable owner, he will give you the Horse Brush.
There are also a few special horses in the game such as the War Horse which is an iron-grey horse. It is only available for players who pre-ordered Red Dead Redemption 2.
Outfits
In Red Dead Redemption 2, you can mix and match the individual clothes of each of your outfits however you like since they are available as separate clothing items. You can also make small choices about your outfit such as rolling up the character’s sleeves or having him tuck his pants into his boots. You can save those custom outfits, but it is not possible to name them and the save slots for those outfits are limited.
Rare Weapons
Some weapons in Red Dead Redemption 2 can’t be bought in the local town store but can be picked up during the main campaign. They can either be found in certain locations or you can get them when you finish certain side quests.
Those rare weapons are: Flaco’s Revolver, Granger’s Revolver, Midnight’s Pistol, Calloway’s Revolver, Algernon’s Revolver, Ancient Tomahawk, Broken Pirate Sword, Civil War Knife, Wide-Blade Knife, Antler Knife, Hunter Hatchet, Hewing Hatchet, Rusted Double Bit Hatchet, Rusted Hunter Hatchet, Viking Hatchet, Double Bit Hatchet, Otis Miller’s Revolver and Micah’s Revolver.
Trinkets and Talismans
In Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur can collect Talismans, Trinkets as well as other unique items with which you can unlock special Perks. Their upgrade is permanent and they boost your stats in different ways. You can unlock them by hunting Legendary Animals.
You then skin those Legendary Animals to obtain crafting parts which a Fence can then craft into Talismans and Trinkets. Sometimes the parts of the Legendary Animals won’t be enough and you’ll need other unique parts to craft Talismans.
Newspapers
If you want to buy newspapers in Red Dead Redemption 2, look out for the newspaper man who you can meet only in places that are inhabited. He sells the newspaper of each region for 2 $. There are three available newspapers: Blackwater Ledger, New Hanover Gazette, and Saint Denis Times.
Honor
Honor is an in-game system that judges whether or not the actions of the protagonist are socially acceptable. Some actions are considered honorable or dishonorable. Honor plays an important role in the story.
In the beginning, Arthur’s honor is capped, so it can’t be maxed out as fully good or bad. You can receive discounts in some stores if you have a high honor level.
Bounty
When you commit a crime in the game and decide to flee, you will have a bounty. In that case, officers and bounty hunters will be trying to track you down. It can even go as far as whole states being closed off and searched. If you want to avoid having a bounty, you should:
- disguise your face when committing a crime
- keep witnesses from going to the police
- refrain from killing police officers
- flee instead of shoot
The only way to get rid of the bounty is to pay the bounty at a police station. PLITCH offers another way to get rid of your bounty with our “No bounty” cheat. If you want a more in-depth guide on how to get rid of your bounty, check out the article in our forum.
