20 THINGS I WISH I KNEW / RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 - (FACTS WITH FILBEE - #2) 

The most important an regretful tip....dont even bother depressing yourself through chapter 6, just stick to chapter 2 and enjoy free roam and mods...

1. Get as much done as possible at the start of Ch.2 - and collect stuff for later quests, especially Algernon's awful crap! 2. #CinematicCamera is great - get on a trail with your horse, set a waypoint, activate CC, get your horse galloping, and then you're hands-free! It especially looks great when you pull out the lantern at night and click R3 for a better view - you may then just watch whilst shoving food in your face with both hands (IRL). 3. You're riding your horse wrong! You're steering them too much! They have auto-steer to dodge trees, etc - the horse hits a tree because you have counteracted its auto-steer (unless there's no gap between trees/obstacles). 4. The White Arabian is not a great horse! The #MissouriFoxTrotter is the best horse in the game, and can be acquired almost as early as the Arabian - during/after #ArcadiaForAmateursIII. Keep the raven black shire you're given early too - it's the best huge horse. And, after you've beaten the race woman twice, steal her big grey/brindle Thoroughbred - it's one of the best horses. 5. The Carbine is the best repeater till you unlock the Litchfield. 6. Don't buy the Trapper's holster upgrade before the upgrade from the gunsmith's, or a unpatched glitch means you can never choose one of the nice basic black holsters. 7. Get a perfect panther pelt ASAP and get the Trapper's panther saddle - it's the best one. With L3 clicks on a Level 4 bonded horse stamina never really runs out. Always hunt panthers, and cougars, from horseback - as you'll get another chance till kill it after you're bucked off, and the panther can't kill you when you're on your horse. 8. (7:20) 2 or 3 of those snake bite victims will give you a free gun credit at Annesburg, Valentine, and Strawberry, and a 4th will let you buy a free outfit in Rhodes - I think they'll forever spawn being bitten till you go to those shops and talk to them outside. There's possibly more. 9. Some animals can be lassoed from horseback, then you just have to dismount and press the 'Kill' button for a perfect skin (if it's a 3* animal - 1:35 Not sure why an English person is pronouncing it 'Lasso' though, and not "Lassoo."). 10. Ride up on wild horses and lasso them, then dismount and calm them - none of that walking up to them nonsense! 11. You can scare Calloway out of the saloon by shooting the door before triggering the mission 'Noblest of Men...', then nick his Schofield (a customisable 2nd can be stolen early from the Valentine Dr's back room). 12. Turn your back on every grizzly, then break free and kill it - after 18 you get an achievement/trophy. 13. Cigarette card sets can be completed by buying countless packs from a shop, and discarding the old packs to clear space to buy more. Do the treasure hunts first for money, as it's part of the game - any remaining gold bar glitches are not necessary or part of the game. You get plenty of money from finding the gold normally. 14. Before the Epilogue, sell all your horses and let Arthur be robbed at #AberdeenPigFarm, and then use John to reclaim the money from behind the painting at the farmhouse. John can also find the free guns/weapons from around the map when he has none. 15. When hunting have your default shoulder and back weapons as the varmint rifle and bow, as the bow is most versatile, but can't make the varmint kills (use duel wield revolvers for self-defence). 16. Horse bonding XP can be view from the Player menu. Feeding it the wholesome food (carrots, hay, oatcakes, beets) and sugarcubes/peppermints; brushing it; patting it; and hitching it all increase the bonding XP. Hitching gives the most XP, but only once per day, so make sure you do all these things. 17. You can find Elixirs on the map, using online guides, and drink them to get more health XP, and stamina for Arthur. 18. Sometimes you need to sleep to advance the game, but can only sleep the maximum hours twice - this can be overridden by saving and reloading, and you may then sleep twice again. 19. Manually save to the 15 slots all the time and turn off autosave! 20. No matter how hard you try, #AbigailMarston will not have sex with you. No woman will, so stop trying.

Just finished the game and now i want to start a new game all over do everything lol. Best game I ever played.

It's a LOT cheaper to have the gunsmith clean your guns instead of using gun oil. Like, 15-30 cents to clean one vs $1.35 for gun oil

Another huge tip that I remembered from playing my first time around (I’m on my second play through rn) is that if you park your horse right behind an animal without stepping on it before skinning, than it will speed up the skinning animation every single time (because you can’t move behind it to skin it so it will to the instant one)

Greatest game of all time in my opinion, absolutely love the freedom and different tasks you can indulge in. Takes a long time to get bored with this game. My PlayStation broke and I’ve been watching gameplay videos to get my fix lol

Played this game over the course of a year or so. Was so used to the fast pace and modernness of GTA. Then I realized how much unique and interesting things were available to complete that I finished it and then immediately did a second play through right after. Now, I want to do it a third time to complete missions I missed or made mistakes on like the “Robot” mission in Saint Dennis. Most people, like myself don’t understand that instead of all the buildings and terrain in GTA they loaded the story of RDR with missions and secrets which is why the game is so fascinating and fun.

Started the fourth play through. Every time i play the campaign, I see new things. It’s not surprising that any other game can compare to the detail and story telling. If there was a replacement or an equal game I would try it. So far in 2022, i haven’t found another game that keeps my interest. Just really hope I see another game in my lifetime of this quality.

I’ve put 600 hours into my numerous play throughs of this masterpiece, and there were one or two there that I hadn’t spotted myself.

I do love that last one, #20, I did that in my last playthrough and was like "Oh wow, literally every little action you have in this game has some sort of impact" and then I started to play the epilogue.. and realized how little I knew Arthur impacts the future.

For certain items at the Trapper's stall, you will need sheep pelts. Wild sheep don't count. If you don't fancy risking bounty by raiding farms, there's a nomadic shepherd that grazes a flock around the Heartlands, usually Emerald Ranch or Dewberry Creek, but I have also seen him up at Hanging Dog Ranch.

I had no idea you could get a ride to town from someone. Gonna have to try that!

21 Greet Greet Antagonize - meet someone w a friendly greet, follow up with a 2nd greet and then spike it with an antagonize to find Arthur/John level 11 trolling ability 22 get the legend of the east satchel in chapter 2, 99 of everything means youll be well stocked the entire game 23 (prolly MOST important) you can explore all over in chapter 2, from back to colter to Saint Denis. I had assume it was like RPGs where if you go far from where story has you then the enemies are far too tough. NOPE. go explore and get secret items/weapons early 24 you can get a missouri fox trotter in chapter 2 doing 3rd mission for arcadia for amateurs. After getting the shot of the wild MFT focus on its scent and track it to catch it usually near Elsyian pool or near the cliff where you fight Micah in chapter 6

I paid £27 for this game on Black Friday, but after playing it I’d pay the whole 80 odd pounds or whatever it actually costs. It’s the best game I’ve ever owned. Even after you complete the story there is so much to do! So if there’s anyone reading this that doesn’t own it, buy it now! Unlike gta5, where when you’ve finished the missions- you’ve finished the game- with rdr2 you’ve got a multitude of animals, fish and people to discover, as well as random side missions! This game is worth every pound (or the applicable currency) you spent for it! I can’t believe I was so late to buying it!

The reason why people dont know most of these is because there fast travel everywhere and speed run the game. I personally don't like to fast travel with few exceptions.

2:35 i kinda wish that when you did this there would be a chance for a encounter where bandits/ indians attack the wagon and you would have to escape/defend yourself just to liven up the ride from time to time.

Greet, greet and then antagonize is a fun activity as well to do while cruising around town. Also getting Arthur drunk as a skunk walking through town and greet NPCs and they will laugh at you! Its pretty amusing!! 😂

It took me a while to learn you can fast travel when you set a camp in the woods (I'm guessing it's available only after you upgrade Arthur's quarters)

Bought the game a few months ago and just started actually playing last week. I’ve only got like 30 hours in it but it’s quickly becoming one of my all time favorite games. GTA is so played out this still feels freshhhh

It's the left thumstick that chooses the direction you get off your horse not the directional pad. 🤔

Helping NPCs sometimes leads to an ambush [+]

one tip I have is using the varmint rifle. It's kinda like a silencer if you get a head shot, great for getting sneaky kills

Do the neccesary missions in chapter 2 to be able to upgrade your satchel all the way. Buy Mr. Pearson his leatherwork tools and get the free travel option, it`s a gamechanger! Get the Bolt Action rifle early in Valentine (random hanging scene) Watch the lawmen; one is carrying a repeter, the other a bolt action. Take him out and RUN! Lancaster in the gunshop in Rhodes, pump-action shotgun in Chez Porter, Big Walley, free cash (respawning) in the small hut behind Shady Belle. Btw; I was able to get the Hall-gang map 1 in chapter 1 when catching & bringing in Kieran "the O`Driscill boy" In optons; set horse control to "horse relative" & running mode to "hold to run".

Just started RDR2 this month. I am not yet to chapter three and I have to tell you your tips have been fantastic!! Just enough info to cut the frustration without giving away too much. Thank you!! And when I finish I have all your more detailed vids to watch which is like an extra added bonus.

Great points, my only point issue is that you said to look out for hunting posters. There is only one hunting poster and it's the one in Valentine station, where you were. It starts off the series of 5 hunting quests which finishes in the epilogue. A good tip for that is to collect the carcasses needed for the first 3 as early as possible as if you hunt when the quest is active you won't find them anywhere (the old classic R* method of not making things available when you need them). The carcasses are: 1 x rabbit 1 x squirrel 1 x cardinal 1 x rat 1 x woodpecker 1 x chipmunk 1 x opossum 1 x oriole 1 x robin 1 x songbird 1 x sparrow 1 x toad 1 x skunk 1 x bullfrog In epilogue 1 the quests continue and you then need to get more (if you already had them in the main game they will be gone). 1 x cedar waxwing 1 x bat 1 x blue jay 1 x crow 1 x beaver

I always fail those quick draw things. I read the hint of pulling slowly and boom I die, do it quick boom I die no middle ground

This is the first game I’ve played where i feel bad after killing an npc, or after collecting debt from npc’s

I think the spinning of the revolver before you put it away is the most game changing wish I new that on my 1st playthrough

Fantastic tips! Usually these kind of videos don’t actually offer much but I didn’t know most of these! Thank you

If you're early in the game and don't have a fishing rod, if you spot someone fishing you can beat them up and just take theirs

I am on playthrough number 7, and I have found something new every time! That's why I love this game so much

Good tips, I appreciate how straight to the point you are. Liked and subscribed.

6:48 You can steal the fishing rod from anyone fishing before it's unlocked. 1:15 Surely that's the primary technique everyone uses for studying animals. ...TBH, I haven't done hardly any missions, but I have done loads at the start of Ch.2 before progressing the story, and the only things I didn't know was the LBx2 for gun spin, and choosing which side of the horse to dismount from - both of which are fairly useless.

You can add double tap R1 to rear the horse. Great tips. Thanks for the video. Been through multiple playthroughs and I always make sure arthur gets the LOTE outfit and the jawbone knife. Shout out to all the rdr franchise fans!

Hay great video very clear and the reason I like it the most is you leav a gap between talking so we get time to digest the tip before the next one unlike other videos iv watched thay just throw tip after tip with no breaks makes it harder to remember unlike yours witch is clear thanks man great video

"Quick map"??? Buddy I subbed the last video I watched. And damn I might be the last to know some of this stuff but it's my first time playing it in 2023 and I have gotten so.e great tips from you. Keep killing it cow poke. The appreciation is real.

I started to play RDR2 just recently and i spent already around 60+ hours,maybe even more,i need to check it in the radeon adrenaline software for how many hours im playing it exactly and im in no rush to complete the story,im around 50%,i like the free roam aspect of the game a lot so that's where i spend most of my time and i learned and found a lot of things but there's still those small things that i didn't know about the game.Im sure people who played this game for much more time than me still discover a lot of new things and stuff that they didn't knew about even 4 years after it's release

I still didn't know some of these. I will add that you can leave some guns behind so you don't have to go through all of them on the selection wheel.

#21 enjoy the game as much as possible in your first ever playthrough

I've completed RDR2 3 times now with 100% completion (yes, I am really that sad). If anyone has played it enough they will notice that when you need a particular pelt or animal (such as challenges or hunting quests) the game seems to somehow know and you can't find them anywhere, including known spawn points. However, I think I may have found the trigger for this...I stress I MAY have. On the 3rd time round I didn't look at what trapper gear was available or buy any trapper gear until the end, this way a lot of the animals were spawning more regularly and were much easier to find. Even the moose was always appearing up near Lake Isabella (if I put bait down). So I think the fact that I didn't look at the trapper requirements (but was still handing him stuff) somehow didn't invoke the R* scarcity thing. I could be entirely wrong and it might be a patch but it's worth looking trying if you want to complete compendium and get all of the trapper gear. Hunting was so much quicker this time round. I'm so sad I even created a spreadsheet that shows me all the requirements, side missions, strangers, challenges and number of pelts etc. so that I can keep track of what I have to do.

At the beginning of chaper 2 i went to saint denise and greeted people in the city for 2 hours, was max high honor after that and all clothes,guns was cheaper to buy😊😊

As a brit, i found it quite charming that you sound like you were turning that Liverpudlian accent down a touch. Awesome video bud, cheers.

you can even chase fish ashore. For perfect sockeye salmont it works really good and it worths around 5 $ each when sold

when you hit the gallop button matching the galloping of your horse, the stamina wont drain.

Hitching your horse to the ground 😳😳 that’s why I love this game, still learning new things!

Rockstar spent $541,000,000 on Red Dead Redemption 2. It is the most expensive game ever created.

Hop on the trolly in Saint Denis, and then just stand at the door and greet everyone as you pass by. You can stand at the front, look ahead and see which side has the most people to greet. Put the game into first person mode, and you can turn back and forth greeting folks out of either side. Turns you into a good guy about as fast as possible, and then you can go forth and kill and rob:)

True story.. i didnt know about deadeye slowmo shooting until my 2nd play threw.. 🤦🏼‍♂️😂🤷🏼‍♂️

#4 quality pelts! That took a few listens. I knew some of them, but a few I've never tried. Thanks for the info.

Me at #5 1:35 😦 (wow, that was pretty brutal and scarry, don't think i'm gonna use that way) Me at #13 5:03 😅👏👏👏 (those lines are funny as hell, definitely will give it a try)

You should have added to leave the area where a crime was committed and is only being investigated. Then change outfits and you should not have a bounty.

This is the greatest open world game made in my lifetime. Rockstar did an amazing job.

No.18 is what makes me feel like a direct salesman

This video is 2 years old but still very beneficial. Thank you! I just started playing and have watched too many other videos before coming across this one.

On my 2nd Playthrough, I went to the pig farm as Arthur before his final mission and left the robbed money behind mother to John in the epilogue

I have played the game through 5 times and cannot for the life of me do the gun spinning animation

Lasso trick for pelts is a game changer, thanks mate

God I love this game. Knew most of these... But I still learn knew stuff all of the time. Didn't even know you could take hunting bounties. So much detail.

I’m currently on my 2nd playthrough of RDR2 I started over a few days ago, on my first playthrough I played it on and off for months half heartedly until I eventually beat the game but from videos I’ve recently seen on RU-vid I missed out so much in my second playthrough I’ve been exploring the world a hell of a lot more than I did before 😃 man I love this game 🔥

OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAD....... THANK YOU!!! I was wondering every single one of these... The watch is my favorite, I was pausing the game constantly to see the watch, breaking the inmersión and my balls at the same time.. This is GOLD!!

Rule number 10 get drunk with lenny!!!!

The only one I didn't know was about gun wraps. Feel like the gun wraps look bad though so probably won't use them still. I just hit chapter 4 but really taking my time with story progression.

I've done 2 complete "Playthrough's", several "Into" the epilog, but I generally start over about chpt 4. I've been playing since around 2019/2020 and am still seeing new stuff and hearing new dialog.

I've actually learnt a few things. Thank you. This game will never cease to amaze me.

I wish I knew that you can’t go to Blackwater or new Austin as Arthur, I lost so much money because I kept dying. One time I got attacked by a cougar as soon as I crossed the river and then once I killed it, I had eight law men on me

Who’s still playing? 😅

2:54 Arthur Mrogan is a hardass.

2:47 how do you activate it? 4:48 how do you get the option to clean it? 6:16 which buttom should I press?

Also you can use dead-eye and seee if any animals is in your area. Animals will glow. And by using dead-eye in a new cabin or campsite, lootible chest, drawers, etc. will glow.

Great tips thank you I just finished my first play through, if you have ever watched the movie 310 to Yuma there are so many similarities to the game I would be confident in saying they got a lot of ideas from this movie when making this game, check it out! The leader of the gang dresses like Dutch, the second in command looks and acts like micah, the diary the horse whistle call, the leader going good at the end, the Pinkertons and so much more!

Just give him a health cure man 😂😂

If you're far from your horse, you can still camp and now you're horse is right next to you! 😂

I wish they would come out with a next gen update for this game so I can replay it..

Playing as a proper outlaw with massive bounties is way more fun than being a good boi.

I've got 1355 hours into this game and I absolutely loved every single second I've beaten again a quite a few times and I'm still finding things to this day that I haven't seen! I had no idea that you could hitch a ride like that

1:45 What Arthur says: “Come Here” What I hear: “Get over here”

Thanks for sharing the spinning gun animation… now I’m going to doing that all the time compulsively

#21 climbing onto large rocks prevents you from getting killed by wolves, cougars, panthers and bears.

just now got the game a few days ago on sale, I remember helping the guy with the bite and thinking "wow, no gift" XD ... but haven't met up with him at the gunsmith.... going looking for him now, thanks!

while fishing, if you throw the fish back you gain honor

Rock Star should do a re-release with an alternate ending(s).

For tip 18. You can also go fishing with dynamite. Helped me complete a challenge.

When I came across #9, Bonnies gentleman friend, he was floating in mid air. Lol

You also should have added that if you just wait til night to do all your crimes with a mask you have waaaay better chance of getting away or ever getting a bounty. High honor behavior during day low honor behavior during the night. Unless I’m on a mission then everybody dies. 🤣

I started the game and just turned him into a robber and serial killer...I can't go near the towns without getting chased

Over the years I have watched more rdr2 videos than I can count and I always notice the same thing in regards to pocket watches. Every content creator uses the same silver watch. Am I the only outlaw baller enough to keep the watch from the safe in the riverboat for himself? The fence was only offering 155$ for it and it’s like the top end watch of the game. So I kept it for personal use. But I also hunt in a 3 piece suit looking dapper af 👀

When an npc repays you with credit at a store use it immediately or you won’t have the credit when you return

5:31 am I the only one who still found this in my first play though

To add to the fishing with a bow one, use small game arrow for perfect quality fish.

Took me so long to get 100% completion but it was worth it

"hold menu button for the map", damn i have just finished the game and now i learn this

I wonder which gun u picked for free in number 20..!? Thanks for the tips.. great video 😊👍🏼

I'm in my 1st playthrough of this game and I already discovered some of this

Don't kill a legendary animal while it's in the water as you won't be able to harvest anything from it

I truly love this game's vibe and setting and graphics and music but I feel on the edge of giving up on it. I'm a little ways into Chapter 2 and I feel like the game still hasn't *clicked* for me yet (to hook me fully). I feel like the group's camp is never stocked enough, I have no idea if I'm doing the right quests at the right time, if I'm supposed to be a bad guy or good guy, the combat/dead-eye system still very wonky for me and everything you do feels slow (can't run in camp, camp "chores" are so slow/tedious, riding everywhere is so time consuming, etc) ... what am I doing wrong? Really don't want to give up on the game.

You can see the way you're supposed to kill the animal to keep the pelt perfect by hitting show info on them.

I’m in the epilogue and I thought the gun spin was an online only feature :’(

Havnt been on my PlayStation in a couple years, just moved into my own flat and have set it up and have just started a new game on Read Dead.. can't wait to get going again! Ha best game I've Iver played by quite abit, followed by the last of us 1 and 2. Anyway, got folk to Rob and kill! 😁

This is probably one of the best games ever made, i cant wait for GTA VI and RDR 3!

The first 42 seconds - painfully useless. The rest of the video - pure gold! Thanks for these valuable tips.
