50 HUGE Helpful Tips for Red Dead Redemption 2! 

If you learned anything new I would appreciate if you could support the video, this took quite a while to make! 👉 Leave a LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for more Tips & Tricks! 🤠

This game is like having a full time job

This game has so many details it makes it hard to memorize everything

Quick reminder: if you are very far away from your horse, You can always setup a camp to spawn it near you!

This is how YT Gaming videos should be... - No loud techno music - Quick and straight to the point - Fully focused on the game itself and helping others, instead of pandering just for likes and attention

“Make sure you regularly smoke premium cigarettes” instant demonetized

$15,000 in 1899 is equivalent to $455,000 in today’s money. Able to buy yourself an enormous piece of land but Dutch be like “wE nEeD mOrE mOnEy!!”

2 years later and still learning new things about RDR 2

I'm actually very ashamed to say that i just started this game 3 days ago and i CANNOT stop playing this game!! There's so much special attention to every detail it's amazing. I'm at work counting the hours! Lol

But remember! Cinematic mode doesn't mean you can just walk away or look down from your game.....I learned this the hard way and I looked down at my phone for one second, and my horse crashed headfirst into the train, flinging me over it at mach speeds. Sure, it WAS cinematic, but also....Texting and riding, never again.

I don’t do the chores because I don’t have 12 hours to walk 30 feet

I was on my way back to camp with a legendary bear pelt and my horse got stolen and the guy rode it right off a cliff....

You can increase the bond with your horse by leading it by the reins for a bit. Petting a horse immadiently after a fullstop or in situations where it made a good job ( jumping over a fence, staying calm in dangerous situations etc) increases the bond also. Some doors are locked but sometimes you can enter a cabin by breaking the windows. Traveling with a second horse allows you to carry more hunted animals around. The first thing you wanna do after getting the leather tools is to let pearson craft the satchels for you. The camp in valentine lets you eat out of the pot similar to that of your camp. Nobody stops you from doing it. Burning(dynamite, molotow etc) people impedes looting them. You can shoot fish with guns or the bow. If you can't craft anything but seemingly have the recipe you may consider reading it to learn it. (I forgot it once and i really almost lost my sanity because of this) If you're stuck somewhere high where you'd fall and die, just set up a camp.

With the prisoner, at the end...I forgot I had a shotgun in my hand when shooting the shackles 😂

when i got the prisoner encounter i didn't realize i had my shotgun out and blew the dudes leg off.......

In valentine if you go behind the doctor’s office, the game will give an option to look through the window. You’ll discover money in that office. Then you can go to the doctor’s main office and loot that money.

Games not realistic Arthur don’t make a grunting noise when landing on his horse from straight landing on his nuts

Careful boys, this one sounds like an O'Driscoll.

Shooting multiple shots at a person’s feet makes them ‘dance for the boys’

A really helpful thing is to get a saddle from the trapper as early as possible since it improves all stats for the horse and you can run for at least twice as long, I’d recommend the alligator saddle since it’s one of the best and by far the easiest to get

Theres an easier tip for the dying horse - immediately select to set up a camp and the horse will be fine again. Only works if horse is dying not dead.

Anyone else had a run in with a bear and made you feel like the Revenant? Lol

Pro tip: Getting killed will result in death.

If you have bought the fast travel upgrade at your camp, you can fast travel from anywhere by setting up a campfire and pressing A/X. It even allows you to fast travel back to your main camp.

Use express ammo in your pistols/revolvers. It's a huge upgrade to damage during gunfights, even when you don't have access to your long guns, and also really helps when you have no dead eye.

i have watched maybe 15-25 "tips or hints" videos about RDR2 and this one is by far the most clear, helpful and honest TIPS video. well done man.

Mission failed -"Micah has died " Proceeds to turn off console and never play again

I was legit thinking “it sucks I have to ride manually everywhere” and then right after that he shows you how to auto ride. Very helpful

Two huge tips, get the legendary satchel as soon as you can, it has space for 99 of most items and you can get all the pelts since the second episode. Also you can know the quality of a pelt by studying and then pointing at the animals, three stars is perfect pelt, then just use the right weapon.

12:10 Don’t use a shotgun I made that mistake and blew the guys feet off

You can actually hitch your horse anywhere! just *hold Y* (mount/dismount) instead of tapping Y - if you are in the middle of an empty field, or whatever, Arthur will PEG his own hitch into the dirt! :D

You can increase your bond with your horse if you reassure it (talk to it) after it's had a bad experience - like if you ride it through tall bushes or it gets spooked by predators. Basically in any situations where the horse either acts skittish OR makes a little sound of distress (not the heavy breathing from hard riding), if you press the button to talk to it Arthur will say things like 'sorry, girl', or 'you're alright girl'.

PRO TIP: you can shoot latern carrued by your enemy to set him on fire ( and his fellow mates)

I discovered number 15 during the 1st game.. I was fed up with those bastards stealing my horse, so i just accidentally whistled and my dear horse buckled the thief off.. And I was like "what a smart woman I am" :D

50 *HUGE* helpful tips for red dead redemption 2 *does donuts on horse*

8:33 Most useful and amazing tip, thank you. Also, what's amazing is during cinematic mode, you can actually do other things like view the map, feed your horse or yourself, and even if your horse slows its pace after it's stamina is exhausted, you can allow a moment of galloping slowly to recharge stamina and then tap the x button to continue running again without ever even having to leave the cinematic mode. This is by far one of the most useful tips, I really wish I'd known of this sooner but I'm happy I do now. ALSO! This is AMAZING for my moonshine deliveries! I'm able to deliver them with absolutely zero damage and with no effort at all.

This game is so addicting its insane. I made zero progress but ive been so invested in legendary hunting and doing side quests

I have 100% the Story, as well as the Game, and never knew you could stay and apologize to a lawman. You can speed up and slow down, as well as change camera view while in Cinematic View. To speed up the process on cigarette cards, go to the general store and buy as many as possible, then get rid of them, buy more, and repeat. It took me about 10 minutes and about $620 to get all the cards. You can feed and brush your horse while riding. You can feed them at any speed, but to brush them, it must be at a slow trot. If you greet and NPC in a town with the law, and that NPC makes a rude remark, antagonize him until he starts to shoot you, the lawman will shoot and kill him for you. To maintain weight, eat 3 meals then sleep. That will bring up your weight by 0.75. if you eat 3 candies or chocolates along with the 3 meals, it will bring up your weight by 0.75, but also continue to bring up your weight again over the next day or so. I find it best to maintain +0.75 to +3.00 for best results. It is very hard to maintain a "Perfect" body weight unless you literally eat a meal every 8 hours, or 3 meals every 24 hours. Certain NPCs that need help along side the ride, example "Guy who was bit by a Snake", or "Guy caught in bear Trap", will get you one free item from the Gunsmith or General Store in the town he was closest to. I think there is one guy per town that you can help, I found 5 of them. Snake bite guy 3 different times.

Another thing I always forget is that you have to eat. Feeding Arthur and your horse is pretty important, but easy to forget.

Another tip! You can actually hunt with your lasso! Particularly hoofed animals like deers, goats, elk, even bison, but do be warned, it depletes your stamina quickly so always use a potent stamina tonic before doing so and try get close enough to the animal when on your horse This can be used to instantly kill high quality animals without damaging the meat/pelt (Do not try it on predators)

Tip 32 : you can hold B from any game menu (like the compendium etc) and it will exit all the way out. Tip 34 : you can alter riding speed during cinematic camera travel in the same way as normal.

When robbing the trains, you can use explosive bullets to access the safes they have in certain carriages 😊

If you antagonize an NPC in town that has a gun then slowly pull in the right trigger, they'll reach for their gun and you can duel them.

I really love the attention to detail they put into this game, I barely started this game a few days ago and already found about half of those tips out on my own by just thinking of "what would I do if I was a cowboy back then?".

Great Video! Helped me out a lot. Another quick tip guys is be careful when looting the enemy horses cause some times they will kick you. I’ve learned that the hard way lol. Be safe and have a nice day everyone!

Fishing Tip: when you’re reeling in a fish after controlling it, move your left thumb stick up and down to drag him towards you. This makes it 10Xs quicker

#51 you can lasso just about any animal and ring them in for a clean execution (Dont lasso bears & cougars please lol)

dude these tips were awesome! Like so many things that make the game easier! Thank you! I watched like five tip videos looking for these type of quick easy to miss little tricks but only found the same five obvious things recycled over and over.

Just started playing this game today. This video will help a lot. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

Premium cigarettes can be purchased in the general store and they each have a cigarette card in them.

Got another tip Don’t buy gun oil. Looting bodies and houses you can find it easily. I’ve never bought any and I always have full

Just started playing now that the new gen is out - this is the first RDR2 ‘tips’ video I’ve come across that has actually been helpful and insightful! Thank you!

Recently started my 2nd playthorugh, after a couple of years gap. And this is still by far the best tips I've come across.

When you're riding your horse fast and stamina is draining.. press L3 to praise your horse. It will regain some stamina.. if you do this once in a while you basically don't need to use any additional treats.

Best tips tricks yet. Insted of much babble for 12 minutes with only 5 tips. You get them quickly at once. Thanks

I can’t believe how incredibly helpful this video is. People who are new to RDR2 like me, definitely, without a doubt NEED this video!🙌🏼

Top tip for bounties and scouting camps. Holding the r1 to open the radial menu your minimap zooms out even in expanded. You can see red dots moving from much farther away and plan better.

Tip 51 never ever finish the game don’t do that to yourself

And if you're in an area near a mission, when you get in a fist fight with an npc, your friend comes to help you fight but the mission becomes unavailable.

about changing clothes - you can also change to the same outfit to "clean up" after skinning a kill

I had to steal a carriage, but there were a lot of guards. I shot my gun in the air, it scared the horse attached to the carriage and it took off running. I caught up to the horse/carriage, jumped on it and stole it without the guards ever chasing me.

Definitely will be using a number of these! Thanks

I love that some youtubers make a 10+ minutes video about 5 tips, and you just made about 50 in the same time. Great video, mate!

If your horse is stuck (mountain, trees), just make a camp and your horse will go to your camp.

If you're up on a mountain top or a precarious ledge and getting down is kinda iffy.....set up camp.

love this, thank you!

50 gameplay hours and yet most of these stuff are new to me. Thank you for the awesome video, keep up the good work!

I had no idea about the customize one. So many times I’ve gotten off my horse thinking I had weapons. That’s a game changer right there.

5:22 if you look on the minimap, body’s you haven’t looted are show up as a bold x

thank you! this taught me alot of stuff i never knew! :)

Amazing. Thank you ❤

"We need more money" is the new "I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow in the knee" at my school

If you just set the prisoner free you meet him again a few times and you can get more robbery tips

Amazing. These make gameplay so much easier and smoother! Love it. Off to play right now.

Lots of very good info, thank you!!

Arthur can get dizzy when Spinning around

If you find the prisoner and free him successfully, he might recognize you later and gift you any gun from the shop on his tab. I ran into him in valentine and got a $150 pistol out of it

All these small tips combined make a world of difference when playing the game. Thank you

Loved this video! Very very helpful! Thank you :)

1st 30 mins I stole the train and drove it right around just to open up the map

Extra tip: going in and out of Dead Eye every time you shoot someone instead of shooting multiple at once will actually drain less Dead Eye ”energy” and your weapons automatically reload each time. Second extra tip: If you ever find youself in a rush through a tight forest, just let go of the controlls and the horse will automatically dodge all the trees. Really wide rocks and trees will still send you flying though.

Some stuff was super useful, most stuff I already know (it's my first playthrough just now, so knowing stuff is still cool and fresh for me ok, lol), but the sitting on the cliffsides thing is an absolute life changer, thank you.

Great video for beginners. I learned a couple new things like the gun spin. Such a great game.

i was expecting this video to have minor things but i actually learned so much thank you

Tips that actually help, not drawing out the time of the video, everything to the point. Awesome. Thank you!

I never saw anyone ever mentioning this, but I think that you can whether your horse is hungry by watching whether its pawing at the ground when you give it some food. After 3-4 treats, the horse will stop pawing. Pawing is how grazing animals dig up snow to reveal vegetation during wintertime, so it might be indicating that the horse is still hungry.

Super helpful. I just started playing and was feeling overwhelmed until I watched your video. Cheers!

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! The editing, explanations, clarity... Everything. You really did a great job. My tip: if you want to commit crime, then learn how the witness system works, as well as disguises... 1. Lawmen always know your ID 2. Dark red witnesses on the mini-map don't know your ID, but are still reporting your crime. 3. Bright red witnesses know your ID, and are reporting you directly.

Take your main horse and two other horses in your stable when going hunting to carry more carcass's to consolidate your trips and save time and make more money. Just have your two spare horses follow your main horse.

I've had this game since launch and it's November 2020, I never knew about a lot of these tips, thx man

Thanks mate this was a huge help

That moment when you're riding calmly through the wilderness and suddenly there's a wagon on fire rolling down the hill, scares your horse and it runs away and you get jumped by some hillbillies and instantly killed with a knife... yeah annesburg sucks lol great tips tho! especially the one where you can jump on your horse! pretty handy :D

For the 50 tip it's better if you DON'T turn him in, because he will get caught and escape again. And every time you help him he will give you a BIG TIP for houses to rob. I have save him 4 times so far.

At the beginning I didn't know how to play this great game, but as more I watch videos about it I can understand how vast and beautiful this game is.. thank you guys for such sweet information.

Hey man this was by far the most helpful tip video yet. I just started playing a few days ago and it's def a lot to learn. But I absolutely love it so far. But a lot of these will def come in handy. Great video!

I suggest checking all fireplaces more than once when you first search them. Some have multiple items. Even destroyed houses with a fire place still standing can have loot in it.

Much like the way you can jump on your horse, you can perform Ariel executions with a knife on enemies, btw.

Used to love your RuneScape videos thanks for sharing man :)

These are some great tips, thanks a lot!
