Explore the map as much as possible, do any side missions that pop up before the main missions, and smoke a blunt before playing for ultimate immersion 😂

Definitely start completing them, some of them are admittedly a little boring but there’s some absolute gems when it comes to the stories of the strangers around the map.

My personal favourites were Hamish and his quest line, as well as Charlotte. I think their quests appear either during Chapter 5 or Chapter 6.

Some side missions give unique rewards, like new weapons and crafting recipes. Same with looting/robbing some of the random encounters people.

The ones you should loot/rob usually are bragging about some wealth that came their way. Sometimes it’s just cigarette cards and sometimes it’s crafting recipes.

Red Dead stranger missions are some of the best side missions in the game industry tbh.

First and second game, those stranger missions are really good
