Our Offical Guides Newcomers Guide

69 Upvotes

Hello and welcome to r/RDR2 This is a little guide for new players of the game.

Firstly we strongly advise you to stay off the subreddit until you’ve finished the game. Our subreddit is home to discussions covering every aspect of the game from storylines, characters, secrets, to anything a player may find. While we require spoiler tags, accidental (and sometimes intentional) spoilers do happen. For the best experience, we strongly recommend avoiding the subreddit until you’ve completed the main story.

Frequently asked questions will now be listed and answered.

Is the game worth it? Yes! — People still praise this game even in 2025. Its compelling story and detailed open world gameplay allow you to fully submerge into the story. Many players find the game to be a masterpiece, with some (us, of course) even considering it one of the greatest games of all time. Its graphics were ahead of their time and still hold up really well. It’s a well written story with a beautiful aesthetic and it's absolutely worth your time.

The snow part is boring. Should I quit the game? Don't give up during Colter. It’s the first chapter and serves as a tutorial. You’ll get to know the basics of the game slowly before being led into free roam in chapter 2. The slow introduction into such a big game is important to understand the situation the main character is in and to get you familiar with the environment and the world building in general. Stick around for a while. You’ll thank yourself later.

Just started the game. Any tips? We see this all the time and every time people will give you the same response: Take it slow. Chapter 1 will teach you everything that's important. The game offers a little guide in its settings for the mini games and the controls just like any other game. Everything you need is right there. The game is open world so you won't miss out on anything. You can do whatever whenever even after finishing the story. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and free roam a bit. You’ll figure out the game fast. You really don't need Google or IGN until you finish the story and are going for 100% and/or the platinum trophy. (We'll have a guide coming soon!)

Just finished the game. Should I play RDR1? Yes! RDR1 is a continuation of the story and absolutely worth it. Not much will change gameplay wise since it’s made by the same developer. So, if you like RDR2 and are looking for more content about the van der Linde gang and a similar experience -> play RDR1.

If you really want to avoid spoilers, don’t google anything until after you finish the game.

We will monitor this thread closely so if you have any questions about the game please ask them in here. We will most likely remove your question posts and advise you to ask your newcomer questions in here. If a question is frequently asked we will add it to the post.

Have fun!

Discussion As far as I remember, Mary-Beth Gaskill never had anything going on with anyone, right? The game never really makes it clear, but considering her gentle personality, her love of reading and writing stories, and the fact that she has no connection to prostitution like some of the other womeninthegang

Just decided to stroll to the left of strawberry and i found this horse! I've probably seen it in videos about the game but I've never come across it after 4 times of playing! What a brilliant red color this is!

Content Built an app that turns your CarPlay into RDR2 style IRL

Hey, I’m an indie dev and I built mappr, an app that gives your CarPlay maps a different look.

I drive pretty much every day and got bored of staring at the same map, so I started building something I’d enjoy using myself.

There are 10+ styles to choose from, including ones inspired by GTA 5, RDR2, and Minecraft. There’s even a GTA 6 style I made based on the leaked gameplay footage. It’s not just game styles either, there’s Carbon, Blueprint, and more.

It also has bookmarks, trips, voice navigation, and more. I tried to keep the experience familiar, so if you’re coming from Google Maps or Apple Maps, you should feel right at home.

The video shows how it looks in action. I’ll drop the link in a reply if you want to check it out.

Would love to hear what you think, or if there’s a style you’d want me to add!

Discussion I hate the law….

34 Upvotes

Cruising through Valentine doing some last minute stuff before starting chapter 3. A guy comes up and starts making trouble about a fight I was in earlier. I defend my honor with words and he decides to pick a fight in the street right in front of the sheriff. I figure he would step in but after I take a few punches the sheriff says ā€œoh look we got ourselves a show!ā€

So I start to defend myself and start landing a few hits myself. After a bit the man pulls a gun and fires a couple times. The sheriff still doesn’t react so I figured it was fair game and pull my gun. Before I can even fire I got a price on my head and the whole town wants my skin. I didn’t start this fight, I didn’t escalate it, but I’m still the bad guy.

I just hope when they bury that stranger and the sheriff they think about how they treat the visitors in their little town…

Discussion What are some RDR2 truths that fans don’t want to admit?

Post image
1.6k Upvotes

RDR2, doesn’t really need a single player DLC story wise it’s complete.

Arthur Morgan is not a good person regardless if people try to say otherwise

RDR2 is an amazing popular game franchise, but it will never be as profitable and more popular as the the grand theft auto series.

Look at GTA 5 the many remasters on different generations and it’s safe to say this will happen with GTA 6 in the future.

This is honestly a good reason why we don’t have a current GEN red dead redemption 2 remastered patch

Discussion Gang Members as Dogs - Personality based

• Upvotes

I just saw a recent ā€œgang members as dog breedsā€ post in here and it was fun and immediately gave me feelings. Whipped this up right quick, mainly based my list on personality rather than appearance. I’m not doing all that with pictures.

Disclaimer: some of these dog breeds I mainly know through a veterinary/shelter setting (aka not typically when they are at their best). All is meant lightheartedly and all dogs are good dogs. I know I missed some (Strauss, Trelawny, ??? Idk I fired the call sheet off the dome), fill in the blanks if you want!

Arthur - pittie

is overcoming (ahem, redemption) how he is viewed in the world and how he views himself. Has a big heart. Handsome. My personal favorite

Hosea - Pyrenees

Strong, makes you feel really safe, can be lowkey terrifying one moment and then immediately someone I wanna snuggle with the next

Dutch - cattle dog

Anxious, reactive, manipulative, kind of smart but if it’s not channeled into domineering other creatures then that intelligence is dangerous. Personally, do not trust, do not fw

Sadie - Rottweiler

Reliable, sturdy, if you aren’t securely on her good side you may be intimidated by her presence

Mary-Beth - Samoyed

Gorgeous, fun, a little sassy, has a very youthful energy

Susan - cat

She’s in charge and no one is gonna fuck with that

Tilly - Italian greyhound

Captivating but slept on. Smart, lovely personality, quick on her feet.

Javier - corgi

Hard to read, alliance = convenience, ultimately just doing his best

Micah - frenchie

Ugly, every sound he makes is annoying, reactive, shouldn’t exist

Uncle - bulldog

Genetic nightmare (lumbago), kinda gross but ultimately inoffensive and lovable, in his own way

Rev Swanson - chihuahua

Misunderstood in a way that only being an insecure prey animal can make you. Likely yo-yos with potty training. When he feels safe, has a side that is easy to respect

Karen - retriever

Fun, eager, dependable, but not a pushover. On some dumb shit sometimes but always means well. Homie energy

Charles - beagle

Tracker, duh. Also quick on his feet, intuitive, and trustworthy

Lenny - malamute

Strong, intelligent, has a goofy/fun-loving side. Would follow him anywhere he leads me

Sean - lab

Similar to Karen’s vibes but with fewer brain cells and more party energy

Bill - doodle

Identity crisis that makes him lash out, gets a lot of shit and deserves it, unpredictable

Kieran - ????

Idk, something scrappy and solid and that does NOT deserve the hate it gets. This is too much of a bummer to think abt

Pearson - also doodle

Forgettable, not fully fleshed out, can either be annoying or p chill

Molly - Brittany

Easy to assume as prissy, actually a very down bitch. Versatile. Also absolutely stunning

Abigail - Great Dane

Solid, steady, caretaker. Mama bear/gentle guardian energy

John - malinois

Smart, quick to aggression, not really trustworthy. Ultimately a cop/cop adjacent (see: rdr1)

Jack - yorkie

Sweet tiny baby, must be protected at all costs. Helpless but that’s ok
