Red Dead Redemption 2: Contents of the guide

The first section of our RDR2 guide describes basic mechanics and assumptions. Among the topics, we explain exploration, combat, completing missions, meetings with the gang members in camps, completing optional activities e.g. hunting. The section also features starting tips that will help during the initial hours of the game.

The next part of the guide is a extensive FAQ section. The questions involve various topics, such as how to use fast travel, how to romance, how to repeat missions, how to get to Blackwater, how to change mounts, how to obtain gold bars and how to make aiming with firearms easier.

Another major section of the guide is a complete walkthrough. Among others, we’ve included solutions for all story missions along with information on the important decisions appearing during them, and the requirements of the individual gold medals that are received for completing the missions while meeting special requirements. Optional activities, such as heists, fishing, or collecting debts also received extensive pages.

The next chapter of the RDR 2 guide is dedicated to attaining 100% completion of the game. 100% completion requires finishing certain side missions, such as meeting strangers, bounty hunting, or random meetings. Further ahead we have a page on gambling with tips regarding various games available in RDR2 — poker, blackjack, dominoes, five finger fillet.

Among the available pages, the World Altas section will definitely be the most useful, with detailed maps of the regions and locations of all secrets and collectibles (cigarette cards, dinosaur bones, legendary animals, and recipes) made available.

The guide is concluded with a trophy guide that contains a list and descriptions of all trophies, including the platinum trophy. Not over yet — the Annex chapter supplies information such as controls, system requirements, and how long RDR 2 lasts.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Beginner’s Guide

1. Don’t try to explore the open world of the game right away, because it’s not available from the very beginning of the game. You will unlock its largest part after advancing to chapter 2 of the campaign, but you still won’t be able to explore Blackwater and New Austin, where the character would be attacked immediately. You will have access to these locations only towards the end of the game.
2. Frequent manual saves are advised. This can save you from many potentially troublesome situations, e.g. accidentally triggering a chase from the authorities, losing your horse or selecting the wrong option during important choices.
3. Return to the gang’s camp regularly. It offers many activities, including e.g. interactions with other gang members or new mission opportunities. It’s also worth spending your money on expanding the camp to unlock its new upgrades (e.g. the fast travel option).
4. Search the enemies’ bodies and all explored locations. The game offers a lot of valuable loot. Apart from cash and ammo, you can find e.g. consumable items, animal trophies or treasures you can sell.
5. Remember to regularly clean the weapons you use often — to do so, you need a special oil. This will reduce the risk of the weapon jamming during combat, and allow you to restore its stats to their initial (maximum) value.
6. You don’t have to use the same horse throughout the whole game. RDR2 allows you to buy and tame new mount, which aside from a different coat color may also have different statistics (e.g. increased stamina).

We’ve included more tips and tricks for Red Dead Redemption 2 on a separate page — Beginner’s Guide.
