Essential Tips for Beginners

1. Pay your rewards in the mail

As out of law, it is common to have a prize head. If your reward is high, hunters will frequently chase you. To avoid surprises, go to a post office and pay the indicated amount.

2. Participate in the camp

Performing tasks at camp strengthens your relationship with gang members. It also helps evolve the Dead Eye bar (a resource that slows the time during the fighting). Missions at camp releases improvements such as extra ammunition and even fast travel.

3. Use Dead Eye to your advantage

The Dead Eye system is vital in the shootings. It allows you to mark targets accurately in slow motion, which increases your chances of survival. Tonics and cigarettes restore this ability.

4. Create bond with your horse

The horse is not just a means of transport: it keeps items and directly influences its performance. Feed, brush and affection to strengthen the bond. A loyal horse can handle more time and does not easily escape shootings. Always keep a resuscitation kit at hand - if he dies, the bond is lost forever.

5. Cace to profit and evolve

Hunting is a source of income and evolution. Animals provide valuable meat and skin. Sfolar prey increases the Dead Eye bar. Use the right weapon not to damage the carcass and look for animals with three -star rating - they yield more on the butcher shop.

6. Calm down on exploration

At the beginning of the game, do not hurry to explore. The first area (Colter) is limited. Advance in history until you released the city of Valentine. There the game opens, with shops, duels, hunts and secondary missions.

7. Adjust the subtitles and the language

The game does not allow you to exchange the language for the internal settings. It is necessary to change the language of the console. Also enable the “character name in subtitles” option to know who is talking, especially in group conversations.

Freedom is yours, but the preparation makes a difference

Red Dead Redemption 2 is not a common action game. It requires attention to details, slower pace and conscious choices. The more you dive into the world created by Rockstar, the more rewarding it will be. Start calmly, learn the mechanics and explore each corner with curiosity.

With this guide to beginners, you already have the fundamentals to face the old west with more confidence. Prepare your horse, carry your weapons and good luck on the trail - the western is relentless but also unforgettable.
