No one has ever really come to the Grand Theft Auto series for a good story. The stories aren't bad by any means - in fact, some of them are quite great and have aspirations to be taken seriously on their literary merits ( Grand Theft Auto IV ). And while Grand Theft Auto V had a fun and engaging story, the one found in Red Dead Redemption 2 was simply superi

Granger’s tricky, but Arthur’s trickier. A sleight-of-hand trick with a stick of dynamite causes the manure wagon to explode, covering Granger in pig excrement. Arthur never gets his Boy Calloway stories, but he gets the better of Emmet Gran

These people are simply walking down the street and minding their own business when Arthur approaches, asks if they want trouble, and possibly beats/kills them after they fight back. And this is one of the reasons why Arthur is a true villa

Just north of Bacchus Station, there are three gold bars in a cave near the Mysterious Hill. The cave is located at the top of the first "L" in Mysterious Hill.

Much like Red Dead Online , there’s no gold bars inside this mine. However, Arthur will find the water has been poisoned and is the true source of the strange local happenings. Filling up a small bottle, he begins pursuing a person trying to run away. Shortly after, the mine tunnel will explode. Poisonous air starts to fill up the caverns, so Arthur must escape quic

Finding a bayou in the game was an unexpected but welcome surprise. The entire Lemoyne area is very Louisiana, with Saint Denis being a fictional version of New Orleans . Bayou Nwa is a very unique location within Red Dead Redemption 2 , serving as a swampy, muddy, and generally dirty area, filled with animals like alligators, cranes, egrets, spoonbills, pelicans, and turt

Who knows how they figured Helen would be into men who can have bottles shot off their heads - but it’s pretty fun being the independent adjudicator for their constant one-upmanship. Plus, in the end, the twins become best friends again - so all’s well that ends w

When it comes to comedy, sibling rivalry is a trope that always seems to work. But twin brothers Proetus & Acrisius take their rivalry to a whole new level in an attempt to impress Helen, their mutual love inter

There are a total of four fences that will purchase gold bars in Red Dead Redemption 2 . The first is the Emerald Ranch wagon fence named Seamus . Arthur will interact with Seamus in the main storyline. Seamus will ask him to steal a stagecoach to prove they are worthy business partners. After the quest, Seamus will be available as a fence for wagons and other ordinary items.

Arthur Morgan truly is at his worst when dealing with the Downes family. It makes certain thematic sense, as Thomas Downes inadvertently gives Arthur TB , which of course, leads to his physical deterioration. In a certain karmic way, Arthur is cosmically punished while at his most morally repugn

While visiting the Downes family to collect the gang's money , Arthur turns to the grieving Archie Downes and utters the most iconic line of the entire game: "Maybe when your mother's finished mourning your father, I'll keep her in black. On your beha

The funniest mission across the whole Red Dead franchise is Arthur’s infamous night out with Lenny. Suitably downplayed by the mission title, never has it been more fun to stumble around, half-cut, looking for your mate in a

A day later, players can continue the Red Dead Redemption 2 Stranger Mission by returning to Obediah’s house, and he will answer the door mumbling about demons. A woman will scream and the sound of barking will begin as rabid dogs descend upon the village, which makes for a slightly less terrifying threat when compared to RDR2's actual vampires, ghosts , and supernatural phenom

Braithwaite Manor is an interesting location - not just owing to its physicality, but also its importance to the plot - storming the manor and burning it to the ground proves one of the most memorable events in Red Dead Redemption 2 weapons Dead Redemption

Tied with the "sluggish pace" criticism of RDR 2 is its strict adherence to realism. Some people find this an artful intent, others think it needlessly frustrating. To some, the game's weirdly strict adherence to realism overwrites its sense of fun, limiting imagination and creativity (not to mention slowing the pace to a snail's cra
