There is?
How long does it take to do single player though
I personally play online about once a month
A long time
first time i played when i bought the game coupl months ago was online, i died like 20 times in 30 minutes, then i saw there was a single player mode and i switched
@jagged kite it takes as long as you want
Do you have to complete the whole story
yeah . . .that has often bothered me too. What I did to get to where it bothers me a bit less, well two things: (1) I kinda incessantly keep my latest save updated (and I also preserve the last save from each "episode," or at least so far being only in Chapter 2, that way I can always just go back and "do over" . . . which bothers me cause I like to play "Dead is Dead" style, but this game just does NOT facilitate that for a first full playthrough . . .); (2) ANY TIME I am near NPCs I try to have my weapon put away (many exceptions to that, but mostly just out on the trail, when I will go ahead and keep it out), and I often right-click lock them and then R to Greet. I also remapped the "Aim" key from hold mode to toggle mode. It creates certain challenges to use, you wind up clicking more and often not realizing you are locked on to something but it is better than the point and hold method. I also remapped the "Rob/Negative Interact" button from "E" to "K" so that I'm not accidentally blurting out "This is a stick up" all the time
i also put my guns away when nearing npc's but always ready to pull out my dual volcanoes, which resolves more serious issues quick hehe
Like I play online cuz I want to hunt but I don’t want to play for 50 hours so that I can
Anyone know what language "Grullo Dun" is? Apparently "grullo" is a word in Italian, if not also in Latin and Spanish and it means "stupid!" 🤣
online because you want to hunt? but you can hunt as much as u want in single player as well
google translate is not the most exceptional reference source . . .
I just don’t want to play for like 50 hours just so I can start hunting
Its a color of horses in the dun family
all u need to do is finish chapter 1, which takes far less than 50 hrs
Really? All I’ve been told is you have to complete the whole story
How long does chapter one take
ah! It is a reference to a gene! "The dun gene is a dilution gene that affects both red and black pigments in the coat color of a horse. The dun gene lightens most of the body while leaving the mane, tail, legs, and primitive markings the shade of the undiluted base coat color. "
no, as soon as u get into chapter 2, you can start free roam, ignore the story and do as u please
Grullo or grulla, also called blue dun or mouse dun, is a smoky, blue-gray to mouse-brown color and can vary from light to dark.
How long does that take tho I’m at the mission where you go out to hunt the deer for the camp
If you go as fast as possible, skip as much as possible, and don't care bout getting all "Bronze Medals" for mission completion, you can probably speed through this game in about 20 or 30 hours.
Something like that yes. Grullo dun means blue, grey, or mouse dun referenced to the color of the horse from the Dun family, dorsal stripes and black barring on the lower legs
There is a wiki page for Dun Gene
@jagged kite you can finish chapter 1 in maybe 2 or 3 hrs maybe less
then you move to a new camp and you can start ffree roam
it took me longer then 2 or 3 hrs to finish chapter 1 because i was already side tracking whenever i could
Do you still have to rank up to get certain things
yep
If you just get to the late-middle of Chapter 2, you have most of what you need to just roam and explore to your hearts content, and you can buy some stuff from the gunsmith (scopes for example).
yeah ome stuff u can only access if u do some of the story missions, like fishinf, but if you see a npc fishing, i was told that you can get it to drop his fishingrod and take it but i've never tried it
I tried that last night but he ran off with his pole! 
but u still can do much stuff without doing any chapter 2 mission but if u do want to hunt legendary u need to do a hunting quest in chap 2
@ocean cipher maybe u need to kill him, i duno, just relating what someone said in here last night
One last thing
How do I get the hunting mission do I have to play a lot of story in chpt 2
no the hunting mission is one of the very first in chapter 2
As soon as you arrive at the Horseshoe Overlook, leave camp and get well clear of the area. Might be a good idea to camp overnight. Then go back to camp. I think that might activate the Hosea mission
but if you finish chapter 2, when done u have access to almost all u need
If not then just do one of the other missions that are available at that point and then it should activate
even before finishing Chapter 2 really.
yeah get access to fence, trapper, a few new weapons etc
yes
it's what i'm doing, i finished chapter 2 and i'm at beginning of chapter b3 and havent done any story missions in over 2 weeks, i just roam
I've got a double barrel, the sawed off double barrel, a carbine repeater with a scope (and better rifling etc.) and my revolver is souped up too. Access to Fence, Trapper and Stable . . . that is MOST of what you need to just roam and do whatever you want. Sadly the better hunting rifles do not unlock till a bit later, but you can manage to kill large game with the carbine repeater IF you get a really well placed headshot at reasonably close range.
as far as I know, you can keep free roaming throughout the entire game, except Chapter 1. When you start a mission, you are locked in to it, but you can always just fail it and it will return you to the autosave it did before you started the mission.
Thank y’all alot
np
but do side missions when u find some, there's a couple fun ones
most hilarious for me was the one with fake animals and the end surprise hehe
when I first got this game years ago, the cinematic linearity in chapter one bugged the heck outta me. But then I realized: it isn't as bad as it seems. They actually did a decent job of balancing having a story with scripted mission "episodes" and also allowing users to go free roam as much as they want. Having gear "locked" behind progress is slightly annoying but not terrible. Only unforgiveable flaw in this game that is baffling that they never realized how bad it was and just changed the code to fix it: the auto weapon removal when you get on your horse. It does NOT do it when you mount the non-Main horse, so clearly it would have been an extremely simple fix. If they felt it was an actual feature, then just set a toggle in the Settings: default on, but allow user to turn it off.
well chapter 1 also shows you how to play if you've never played it, like me
The random encounters and side missions are some of the best fun in the game, but honestly, some of the missions themselves are damn good too. The very first ones are kinda slow and plodding, but I think that was intentional in order for it to serve as a sort of tutorial
but yeah it's more linear
I just hate games like GoW that force the story down your throat
i wish there were more side missions, i haven't found one in a long time now
Can you kill the bear on the deer hunting mission
you can kill it after the fact
after the npc leaves you, he asks if u wana go back to camp or stay and hunt
What if I use dead eye and a long gun
well i only did it once, so i don't know but with the guns u start with, that bear takes quite a few shots to kill
Ok thank you
i dont use deadeye much, i find it makes things too easy
I find it hilarious to ride around in Valentine greeting everyone. Now that I've beat up most of the male population of New Hanover I get the most interesting reactions!
like ''we dont want your kind of trouble around here''
Arthur: "Hey Mister!?"
Stranger (walking across street warily looking back at Arthur in his Cowboy outfit on his horse): "You better watch your behavior around here . . ."
Arthur: "Jus passin' through, don't want no problem" 
sometimes i put on the viking helmet in town just to hear the crazy shit npc's say to me
Your outfit affects npc’s
There is some funny af stuff in this game. It didn't really click for me that that is the case until I did that mission with Lenny! Farging hilarious! 
are you part of the circus boy'' or '' you do know that you look stupid'' etc
They REALLY outdid themselves with the voice lines in this game.
oh yeah, the quiet night out with lenny is funny as hell hehe
I also love it when I over hear NPCs referring to me as I ride past "There he is. Mean sum bitch . . ." stuff like that! 🤣
thing is when i did the lenny bar thing, i had a friend over, we both laghed our asses off bcause me and him had some pretty out of this world nights out in the 80's, it just reminded us of how stupid we could get
I'm doing a "High Honor / Passive-Aggressive" playthrough, so that explains the humorous comments. People both respect and FEAR my Arthur Morgan! 
I'll do a "Mile Wide Mean Streak Arthur" playthrough at some point and go for lowest possible honor just to see how that goes.
yeah i'm pretty much high honor myself
How hard it is too find the Buck
but i do sltchy stuff as well, i find it easy to regain honor
there are bucks all over the place!
The legendary one
definitely just Greet people incessantly
you mean legendary one?>
Yes
you have to find the area where it spawns, unless you look it up online, you'll find it while exploring
I'd say it's best not to look online for the info,
Yeah I know where it off cause I trie hunting it online but never found it
I didn’t look online I was in the area and someone filled me and said I was trying to take there legendary Buck
well that wont happen in single player
Yeah
you get a pop up message on top left of the screen when you enter a legendary's area
well, the map does give you a general idea
My favorite feature in the game is the cinematic mode
And just hold x to follow Dutch and then
I can NEVER get that follow thing to work
but cinematic works okay. I don't like to use it though, cause you can die
I stop it when I get close to the fighting or whatever I’m doing
never tried it, didnt even know it existed
Cause they usually say something like “we’re almost there”
Micah is annoying
He only cares about money
i wanted to shoot him in the face after meeting him for 30 secs
lol
in strawberry right after breaking the wall i was like, ''i'm goin to shoot th motherfucker in the face'' hehe, i didnt try as i didn't know if it woud work or mess up the game
About to blow this train up
i wish i could kill Dutch
He cool
na he's full of shit, like a preacher
i wonder what happens if during a mission you blow Dutch with a couplle sticks of dynomite, is it just a mission fail or he just does not take friendly damage?
I stopped the train💪
2 weeks ago i came uppon a train robbery done by raiders, they had killed everybody, so i killed them and took the train on a ride around the maps, up north , i noticed another train was folllowing my train, i stopped and went to attack it, rob it and killed everybody, then i had the idea of taking the 2nd train, back it up, take some speed and ram it into the 1st train, sadly the game won't let you, it just stops the trian short of hitting the other one
I wish the game gave me time to go loot the 20 dudes I had to kill
which mission?
i usually loot some of them as i go
The train robbery
on a lot of the missions, you get as much free time as you want at the very end
Oh ok
not all of them but many
I don’t think this one does
that one for sure you can loot every last scrap from every body and the whole train (unless the body fell off back down the tracks too far . . . if you leave the area where the train is stopped mission will fail and you'll have to do over).
I killed the guards lol
the train robbery in Chapter 1? You can DEFINITELY loot everything. I've done it many times. Just play it through till Dutch leaves you to yourself.
you mean the one where they fail to blow the bridge with dynomite?
Yeah
yeah at the end u have planty of time to loot everything
you can even go on a train ride on your own if you want i think
if you have a chance to do it, grab a train on the outed track, that one goes all around the map, which is cool as it lets you see spots you may not have been to yet
What’s the last mission in chpt 1
the train
The one I just did
i grabbed a train south of St-Denis and i took it all the way around the map and got off of it where i had left my horses
it takes a while
since you are looking for more of a "free roam" open world experience . . . well damn you're not on PC . . . I was gonna suggest the "Consistent Timeflow" mod which allows you to adjust the time-compression in the game 😡
Imma make do much money
By default an ENTIRE in-game day-night cycle only takes 45 minutes. They did this so that the map seems bigger. But it detracts from the "savor it" play style. So I have mine jacked up to where one in-game cycle takes more like 4 hours
I wish I could do that I hate nighttime in this game I wish playstation had gamma
i enjoy the night time as much as day time
I feel it just makes things harder to see
i just do different things or go differnt places
it depends, for some reason, it is often the full moon, you can see ok
you've not freaked out till you get attacked by 5 wolves in the middle of the night and there's no moon hehe it's hell
you just go far up north and head towards the howling 🙂
there's 2 places where they come at you 5 at a time instead of 3 or 4
when it's dark, no moon, you only see their eyes once they're almost already on top of u
quite a rush and i garantee you'll not kill all 5 with a knife 🙂
I think it was a 4 could have been a 3
This thing is taking so long to load
But I used I think 5 healing things
He dies
i use pump shotgun with slugs
No there was a moon
i meant kill him any time i want, not just when he dies in the story
i tell u, without a moon, you only see their eyes and only once close to you, it's freaky
they have red eyes
That’s all I been seeing
I once killt a Grizzly bear with a thumb tack . . .
hehe
i once killed a bear with dynomite ''here lil bear, hold this candle for me'' 😛
started signing happy birthday but it blew up
i think i'll go play some, still want to try and hogtie a bandit and then free it in the water in front of an aligator to see if it'll attack it
My Gawd, Arthur Morgan has an appetite and metabolism I would die for. The man can LITERALLY eat an entire bull moose once per day, with duck breasts and racoon ribs as appetizers and STILL stay "Underweight!"
yup, i have not managed to get him to gain weight
he does not look underweight either, looks like a healthy fit guy
a bison for breakfast, a bear for lunch and an elk buck for dinner, with a few deer collations in between
This thing been loading for 10 minutes
reboot
It won’t save will it
I'm at the elk location, but I can't find any perfect Elks.
there should be at least one autosave on there
All I can find are "good" Elks.
patience grasshoppah
I got my first perfect Buck earlier today
that is a special day for every cow poke
I found it.
I make sure Arthur eats twice.
once at the camp when stew's available. after that, I steal the stew from the little camp outside valentine. he puts on in a few days
...what happened to Kieran?
cranberry juice came out of his eyes and neck
Kill the legendary buck and make the buck antler trinket at a fence, it will make the animals you find more likely to have better quality pelts (if you haven't already)
Doesn’t the trinket also make carcasses not decompose while on your horse or sumn
That's the pronghorn horn trinket, which is unfortunately only available in the epilogue (and I assume he isn't since he just asked about Kieran)
goofy
Sometimes I feel like I'm playing Metal Gear more than RDR.
Same
First chapter feels like GoW
What’s the best horse I can get from selling the shire
Dutch Warmblood is the best breed in Valentine but it's $450
If I sell the shire I’ll have a couple dollars less than 100 should I just keep it
You can't use it until after the mission but I would just keep it
It's better than the horse it will force you to buy if you're broke
Ok thank you
Alr
So why do people think the Arabian isn't the best horse?
It's mostly up to preference, I think the Rose Grey Bay Arabian has the best health, stamina and acceleration, but the Missouri Fox Trotter has the best top speed (but neither of them are far from each other in any category)
Also, in my experience, Arabians (especially the white one) get frightened by predators way more easily than most other horses, but that might not be true
Yeah it depends what you do you want to get places fast choose a race horse you can’t go a day without a gun fight choose a war horse
Tahiti.
I’ve got a plan
Why isn't Discord accepting my message?
Don't you just love it when missions require you to lose your honor?
right so... ive read all over the place, that gold bars dont transfer between the epilogue.
How can I save the 9 gold bars currently in my possession, and am in chapter 2, for the epilogue?
I’m hunting the bear rn
I would like a step by step tutorial on how I can save these gold bars post game.
Just got pickpocketed in saint denis, chased the guy onto a railroad bridge, hogtied him, and threw him in the water, and got away with it. I love this game
Mangoes.
Real
Find one 🤷♂️
They should add ied’s to this game
do you know of any
people are saying sell the gold bars, and then get robbed from the pig farm
I killed the bear
so i js modded my game again and when i drink moonshine or wtv the bar around my core turns purple
#red-dead-media for pic
Aren’t you not supposed to talk ab mods or sumn
That might work
idk if its from a mod
Singleplayer mods are fine, IIRC. It's online mods that you can't talk about, I believe
Kk I don’t really know I’m new to this server
Same
We loved once and true-III I can’t beat cuz my horse runs out of stamina
That's the one catching up to Jamie, right?
Yes
Yeah I couldn't do that either. I just skipped it
Change your stirrups
I use it and this is definitely true
They make your horse faster
I didn't find that out until after I skipped that mission
What’s stirrups? Sorry I’m pretty new I just have been playing for like 3 hours
The things your feet go in when you're riding a horse
What do I do with the legendary bear claw
Go to a stable and change them for some better ones
Can you hunt legendary multiple times
Idk, sorry dude
no you cant
legendary animals are supposed to be the unique and special one times
you canspawn them in with mods tho
So then how do you get all of the items from the trapper
by hunting them once, you have infinite of their pelts
Keep it, you can make it into some kind of amulet or trinket at the guy who buys your jewelry
You might need a bit of money though
The fence?
Hunting in this game is so calming
Fr
Yeah that
Have you found a beat recently
Where’s the fence
bear*
Just killed the legendary one
Search index in map
Thanks
You might want to save in case you die after getting pelts
How do I save
It doesn’t really matter for legendaries though unless you need money
They get sent to the trapper if you lose the pelt
Anyone happen to know how much the hunting wagon is
its in online
Damn
and this is the singleplayer channel
go to pause menu then story and I think there’s save there
yo trashpanda
Yeah
Got max stirrups
best stirups are the covered ones
i need help pls fast
I finally got to hear it
The housebuilding song
🙂
Makes me so happy
is it normal for some random npc to attack me after i greet him
I’m on the Kieran mission with odriscols and there’s a gun on the map and I can’t find it can someone help
inside cabin on the chimney
Yo guys I played the Mr White and Mr Black encounter outside of Rhodes as Arthur, and for some reason the stranger mission is playable as John (I played it when I visited Pearson in the general store)
Watching John propose made me so happy
Can someone explain is this a glitch or it’s intentional
It’s epilogue
I haven’t done it yet in the epilogue
Yeah anytime I think
General store in Rhodes ?
I’m not trying to spoil but he became store owner
I know
And then you can visit Mickey in Valentine
carbine repeater seems to knock a star off no matter what
Next to the general store there is that veteran
The sound track for when you arrive at the tower where Micah is is Insane
Because the game buffed the snipers health when you try to climb
It’s like when you started to climb
Wait Dutch just walks away
There’s another game?
Oh they are backwards?
Epilogue
wut?
The end of the game
There’s an epilogue after chapter 6, still missions to do. You can enter black water as you are no longer wanted
Because there are pinkertons and lawmen infesting blackwater
You have to wait several years to go there
I love Strauss so much
I can beat people up without getting wanted and I get payed for it
👀
Don't tell 'em; he's new 
Tuberculosis: 
not gonna

He dies don’t he

shit
how many missions he gives
lots
Can I beat more ppl up
Let’s go
he retires
Yes
He dies
No he don’t
Retires
Wdym
Not dies
Y’all ain’t that convincing


“Retires”
is Tahiti heaven or sumn
It’s also the name of his retirement home
Yeah
Play the game more
So he does die
Not in screentime
Kk
So he dies peacefully
Tahiti is where Dutch wants to go
ain’t that from moana
Oh yeah they were gonna go to an island called Guarma
And stayed there
But the weather was unpleasant
Where’s the fence
Everywhere
Average low honor player
Outside Rhodes, in the market in Saint Denis, and Emerald Ranch
Is the $450 horse at Valentine worth it
Name of the breed? (prices varies depending on honour, so just saying a price isn't helpful)
What's the best way to make money? I accidently acquired a 275 dollar bounty in valentine and I just started chapter 2 so I can't really progress through without doing paying off my bounty>
I’ll figure out in a couple minutes I’m rlly far away but I’m almost there
I mean if you have a save slot prior to it
Just load the save lol
Alr
Thx
Should I go in pursuit of the Schofield ? Or should I save up for better weapons
I recommend dual volcanic
How do you get those is it just the gunsmith
Gunsmith
Do you happen to know the price
Kk
What if I don’t?
I think I do
But I am not sure
I guess hunting and selling gives you some cash
But you can just do missions n stuff they give cash
I recommend making a lot of saves just incase considering the amount of bugs
Having a lot (like atleast 1 per chapter) of saves could come really in handy
Shaozi the horse is the Dutch warm blood
That’s the thing, I can’t access any of the missions cuz all of valentine is on lockdown so I can’t sell either
But I’ll see if I have another save file
There are other towns
I’ve never played a game that has affected me emotionally as much as this game
it’s a masterpiece
I like hunting slightly north of Strawberry as there is a trapper there and a nice cougar spawn (it's south west of valentine)
Never used it can't really say
Ok
If you want a decent easy horse in the start just go to Lake Isabella it's north in the west top
You can find the white arabian there
Very skittish but does the job and well free is free
Is the dual volcanicd just called volcanic pistol or do you have to buy two
You just buy 2
Thanks
Np
I can’t but a second one
You need to buy a holster
Ohhhh
You get one naturally for progressing the story aswell
pretty sure it’s on gurarma
I believe you get one earlier
I just started chapter 2
I haven’t unlocked those yet
You don't "unlock" them
It's open world you can just walk there
I tried looking for it I could not find it
Or ride using the horse
Oh so they get added to your map as you visit them?
Mhm
I see
So there's A LOT of discovering by yourself
Like I am over 450 hours in
Man I am still finding new stuff
Big game
These girls cannot sing
I was looking for white Arabian near lake Isabella and I could not find it, do I have to finish the legendary bear hunting mission in chapter 2 first to unlock the horse stables and then I will be able to get it?
It's random where it spawns
I am needing help with my game crashing, it happens whenever I try to equip my bandana during the valentine bank robbery
Sometimes you just have to go away, sleep and return
Sorry
Alr thx
Sad that they’ll never add ied’s to the game
No
Just got a Springfield now I can hunt without the lasso method thing
Cool
Just got a question? Can Pc and PS4 play together on online?
Can I just leave Micah in the jail?
No
sadly
yes but you do have to geet him out to continue the story
i just lost reputation points because I killed someone that was being aggressive towards me, and i was literally about to leave, and they shot first
game logic
i made a mistake
I thought rain affects your climbing
but it turns out arthur cant climb a very slight angle
also this stupid lady got herself trapped from a horse falling on her leg. I go to help her,
I didnt even press the cancel button*, the game does it for me, and I lose reputation.
and then she says "Looks like I dont need a mans help after all"
Someone may or may not have gotten a bullethole in their head that particular moment in time.
Can someone tell me how to NOT get a poor pelt?
Ive literally headshot animals in the head with a bow.
Poor
Ive lasso'd animals and stabbed them.
Poor
i havent even used a rifle yet
ive been using logical weapons
use a bow with improved arrows
and hit it in the head
make sure u HIT IT IN THE HEAD
cus if it goes into that fatal bleeding shit it wont give u a perfect
"Ive literally headshot animals in the head with a bow"
improved
nah
if its a legendary
use a bow with fire arrows
legendary pelts do not get damaged
yes
ohh thought u said gold bars as the currency
ive been wondering what to use these insane amount of gold bars ive found on
and now i see, weapons.
how many
like 14
500*
500
well i dont want to sell all my gold bars, so hopefully 1k is enough
what type of rifle ammo is best for hunting
I think I finally finished chapter two
Never mind
I gotta at least be close
Please tell me this John mission is the last one
I now have 124 dollars.
I started with 1k
Just rob a train
I used mostly of my good honour and I’m back to almost square one with neutral honor
robbing stage coaches is better
Nah
yeah
Just got almost 150$ what are you talking about
It’s good but like I’m looking for more fun
ong
The thing is that I decided to rob a train bc I got a 85$ bounty when resucining Micah
So I was like “eh how about at least I make a region have a bounty” so I robbed it
Now it’s sitting 435$ bounty lel
Honestly It makes me angry that there’s no poncho in story mode
this game keeps surprising me the more i play
and it looks so damn good all the time
What’s the last chpt2 mission
I got killed while travelling with the legendary white bison pelt on the back of my horse and now it’s gone, is there any way I can get it back
want to have it?
i can help you with that
just install mods
“A strange kindness”
Sadly no. Although it doesn’t really matter since you get the items you need for crafting when you skin it
You only get money for selling the pelt
For example skinning the legendary alligator will give you the legendary alligator’s tooth
Long story short, the pelt automatically goes to the trappers “inventory” when you skin the legendary animal. Selling the pelt is just a bonus
Ah ok, thanks for help
With?
I’m not sure
I haven’t killed one or lost it before
Try YouTube or Google
You can buy it back from a trapper or fence
Im not quite sure but you can buy it back
Just go somewhere, sleep check if it respawned
Otherwise go away, sleep, save, load and try again
Or just wait a little before going back
Can I play any mission again in rdr2? I want to get the sunset ending
It’s based on honour
You should’ve made a save before you done the mission if you wanted to replay it
You can replay it but I don’t think you can change the outcome after you already played it
hi i have a question
does anyone know about the photorealistic rdr2 mod
it doesn´t work
I mean couldn’t I go with John instead of getting the money?
My honor is high
can anybody send me the photorealistic file for rdr2
I don’t want to get those endings tbh
Do you have a save just before the ending?
No
how do i change the rob button? i looked in key mapping but i havent found it under any category
Settings > Controls > Keyboard and mouse > Keymapping > Go down til you find "Combat, Lock-on and Interact" > Melee Grapple / Rob Interact
It's so hard to b nice
what is the trick to getting the "Track with Binoculars" challenge to complete? I tracked a deer and a possum but it didn't count it.
I think it might just be that you have to be close enough to it for it to count. I did manage to get it to count on tracking a prong horn and it never moved nor did I, but I was pretty close to it.
what do i kill a bear with to get perfect hide
once you kill the Legendary Buck, you can build this trinket that permanently bumps all your kills up one star. Without that, or one of the higher powered hunting rifles (along with perfect shot placement) there is always a risk of 3 star dropping to a 2 star.
I'm actually gonna go for the Legendary Buck right now
tysm
How do I commit crimes without being wanted as Arthur
Bec even with a bandanna they still know
it is tricky I'll post a video in media about it . . .
Alr
keep in mind: there are SOME stores where there are scripted episodes/encounters, etc. which take place at some point in the Story. You will not be able to rob those stores. There is only one I know of, but possibly others. Basically when you try to take out your weapon to rob them it will not come out, so you'll be standing there in your mask with the merchant chastising you and trying to rob them unsuccessfully. One of the annoying features of this game with such an awkward balance between cinematic linearity and free roam open-world.
Ikk
It's just for the stores like the one in valentine or Saint deni wanna try to avoid the law with it
How do I surrender? I have a wanted dead or alive bounty in an area with a quest and I cant get in there. When I walk in unarmed they shoot me WHAT DO I DO
I even had a dream last night where I DID surrender and I walked outside to my horse
basically when you have a bounty there are three possible outcomes: (1) you avoid the law/don't get detected and just keep the bounty; (2) you go to a Post Office (generally at Train Depots) and pay the bounty; (3) The law chases and kills you and then I think it detects your bounty anyway when you die. Not sure what would happen if your bounty amount exceeds your total cash on hand. I guess you'd just have zero money when you respawn.
2 I having tried
So there is no real "surrender" as far as I know. If you want to get rid of the bounty: go to a train station / post office and pay it. As far as I know it never goes away.
But can’t you go into a sheriffs office and get arrested?
Even with a bounty you can sometimes go in and out of towns with law men around, but if they notice you they will chase and kill you.
You can surrender
It is even possible that civilians will recognize you.
If you get an encounter however only if you have a low bounty
They won't detect you if you have low bounty and if you greet a cop with low bounty they'll recognise you
So what happens when you surrender?
You get arrested
And you spend a few days in jail and you lose a little money
More than your bounty is worth
So it's better to just pay it off
If you get approached by bounty hunters and you don't have a gun equip and hold RMB it should allow you to surrender
Right. And in my limited experience, even IF you have a low bounty and you attempt to surrender, they might STILL just kill you and cause you to lose as much or more money than the bounty in the first place!
Yep
I learnt that the hard way lol
I think I lost 300 more bucks than my bounty
When I just started playing
Which essentially was all my money
Also recovering all stats
In reality humans are pretty erratic and unpredictable, and the game does a pretty good job of reflecting that!
If you have a bounty, best thing is to either decide to cope with it (by avoiding getting detected / caught / killt) or pay it
There's a lot of cool stuff in the RDR world
In the past, I've been very critical of various game mechanics in RDR2 and the law man mechanic is one. But I think it is actually pretty well done, given the goals of the game. You are not supposed to be The Terminator who can just waltz around committing law man genocide
I DO think that the . . . rapidity at which law men spawn in is a little over the top, but that is more a matter of which integer is an operand in the algorithm rather than the whole algorithm being trash.
there is also some absolutely HILARIOUS and also some absolutely brilliant character drama in the game. It deserves most if not all the praise it has received.
I just wish one could disable the infuriating "Let me put your long arms away for you . . ." every time you get on your Main Horse. It is mind-boggling that Rockstar thought that that was a good mechanic
Never encountered a single user who argued that it was a beneficial game mechanic.
At least those of us who are on PC can maybe use a mod . . . I haven't installed it yet . . . might just do that right now.
I think u lose all the bullets for all the guns you're equiped at the moment
Oh I see I don't remember
how do i get the game to look as good as it does on some videos? my graphics are set to full quality but it still doesnt look as good
U use obs or what
no i mean on some videos i watch the game looks a lot better than how my game looks even though im on max settings
might be your hardware isn't as good
probably isnt but why does that affect how it looks, surely if its on the same settings it should look the same
nope, hardware matters 
alright i guess
it sucks, but yeah . . . you cannot play a high-load game on a potato. A lot of Youtubers make decent bank. Even the one's who do not, might well have a fantastic gaming rig; us peasants cannot compare
i have an rtx 2060, not the best but its pretty good
well, there are tons of videos that go into optimizing your settings. 2060 is kinda old (my own is a 2080 I think, so I'm saying this to be snobby, just facts) but if you search on Youtube you can probably find some guides on how to get the most out of your rig.
I played it for about 20 hours and then went into the settings and changed a bit, mainly turned on DLSS for "Performance." But there are a LOT of settings you can change in there.
of course! That is the whole point of all the settings. But which ones to change and what to change them to to optimize for YOUR specific hardware and driver configuration? That is a question that can only be answered by exploring on your end. There is no "one size fits all" optimum setting permutation for most apps with high-load graphics, and definitely not for this one.
oh right
i kinda just assumed higher graphics = looks better
ill have a look around for whats best for me thanks a lot
I myself don't devote much cognitive or memory capacity to remembering what all those crazy technical terms mean, but, there are people who love wallowing in that stuff, and some of them make really good videos that address specific games like RDR2. So if you want to get the most out of your rig for RDR2 you are behooved to find a video by one of those people 
It’s better to balance some settings
Like low on shadows and high in general
Smth like that
The thing is: at this stage in the evolution of the technology, and particularly for a "cutting-edge" game like RDR2, it is always going to be a tradeoff, or at least that is how it seems to me. Even if one had THE MOST advanced rig in existence as of today 29 Dec 2022, and you installed RDR2, you might not be able to get away with just setting everything to Ultra and having "perfect" performance or graphical quality. You might have to tweak a setting here or there. So for any system that has components in it which are more than 6 months old, and to compound that: any system which has been used for more than say 50 or 100 hours (and so has started to suffer wear and tear), it is going to be necessary to adjust settings to get the most out of the rig running the app. And on top of all of that: a lot of what goes into judging things like "quality" and even "performance" is subjective. One person might be perfectly happy with an average frame rate in the 70 ballpark, whereas another one finds that that is like watching a slide show and insists on 120, and there are scores if not hundreds of dimensions on which personal tastes influence assessing quality/performance.
What’s the best camp upgrade? I’ve maxed the gun one
im not too bothered about performance as in fps i just want it to look visually as good as it can
i tried changing dlss to performance and wowww thats a very significant change already
in a good way
I have the same problem
Also where do I upgrade map
don't be afraid to fiddle. Even just looking up what the terms mean and then inferring what might be best for your rig and your preferences can be as good as watching somebody else's guide. Maybe just: make sure you have a save you can go back to, grab a note pad and pencil to note down what a setting is before you change it (extra cautious mode, but probably not really necessary) and tweak at will! 
alright ill do that, again thanks so much
Are you guys talking about the player energy markers? (Health, Stamina, Dead Eye)? Each of those has their own complicated system(s) for leveling! 
It is way too complicated to try to explain in a Discord. Best thing is to find a "Guide to Leveling insert name of trait" sort of document/video/resource.
Yes
You finish the challenges once you reach lvl 8
And then buy the full sets at the trapper
I don’t see an upgrade
yes it is i the fence/trapper
If you die while carrying a legendary pelt, I heard you can still unlock whatever garments require it, but you can't get the money from selling it.
How do I surrender to bounty hunters or the law on ps?
Become killed once you are being hunted
Alr thx
You will lose the bounty upon dying
So when the hunters approach me just stand still?
Is there a way to make arthur leave his guns on his horse? Putting them on his horse, then immediately hitching the horse used to do it but it seems that doesn't work now
Nvm I figured it out
Five fingers guy in valentine can't spawn and I'm doing gambler challenge 7, win in five fingers in every location what do I do?? Edit: he spawned
Alr thx
Does it work even if the town is lockdown?
If a town is in lockdown you stand no chance, especially as Arthur trying to enter the West
hello some tips on rdr2 singleplayer
Does it still work tho?
Will my bounty be gone?
Its something you should try as I didnt try that in locked towns yet
Alr
Yea I accidentally got valentine locked down while trying to get Schofield
Does anyone have a list of the train lines and a picture of their route?
Anyone know what a legendary coyote can get you at the trapper?
Is there a way to dual-wield 2 of the same type of revolver?
E.G. 2x cattleman revolvers
Yes you need to buy a holster
And then you can buy a second gun
I have an off-hand holster, but I want two of the exact same gun
I believe you get one naturally for progressing the story
Yeah just equip it and then buy the gun
And bam 2 of the same gun
Yeah I just did that Misson lol
Which mission is it actually?
Wait so you CAN buy a second gun even if you already own one? Like if I already own a cattleman revolver, I can buy another?
Yea
Blessed are the meek. When you have to rescue micah from the jail in strawberry
If you have a 2nd holster equipped
Huh. Thanks
I see good to know
I never remember which one it is
Understandable. Thank you very much
Np
I need some help with this infuriating issue ive been having if anyone knows how to fix it
Im on pc and have encountered the infinite black loading screen glitch when I try to get into story
this has been going on for a while now about 2 months and Ive tried everything to fix it but just cant. Does anyone have some good methods to deal with this?
For example Ive encountered the fix in which i blindly navigate through the game menu to create a new save and load into it, but all the instructions ive found online are for controller
How do you use the special gun ability
What console do you play on?
I have just got to the part where arthur and his horse die, my horse was the white arabian during that so is there any way to get it back as john?
aww that sucks
oh
the same place i caught it?
will i have to get the bonding u to max again
and new saddle upgrades
pain
welp
time to grind then
i will need it
Can you change your horse before that mission and let one die that you don't care about?
i think you lose horses that are inside the stable anyway
Damn. I wasn't sure if John gets to keep stabled horses. I didn't really play his part too much. I immediately started the game back over so I could play Arthur more and try to unlock as much stuff as possible.
After drying my eyes a bit. Goddamn the endings of the RDR games are brutal.
So I escaped Guarma, and Shady Belle is no longer an option.
You can still go back there
Do it. It's fun.
With Pinkertons there?
Heck no.
There is stuff there to find.
Also, Dutch is leaving John to die just because he's beginning to grow out of the cult mentality.
Like a note from Sadie.
Why are the subtitles gone?
Ugh, Milton.
Oof, Sadie is in need of a lozenge.
Can I ever go back to Valentine
What chapter are you in?
Yes
Do you know when
At any given point the answer is yes
Well Dutch just made me kill the whole town
Chapter 2
Yes
Yeah just keep playing for a couple hours you'll be fine
Kk thanks
Like a few story missions and it'll be back to normal
Is there ever going to be another rdr?
Good chance, no idea how’d they improve
we could play as Dutch… I wouldn’t like it tho
Eh only improvement I could see is a little more time spent on the hunting features
And now he's coughing up blood.
LENNY!
Cause to kill sumn and get as perfect pelt you don’t need to drop it instantly
A Fork in the Road.
You don’t want to put bullet holes in the body of the animal because that will damage the Hide
Tuberculosis.
😔
I know but a king shot don’t ruin the pelt but it also doesn’t instantly drop the animal
Would I have been able to avoid Thomas Downes?
Lung
That cutscenes sucks, but like. Does the Doctor have it now too!?
Thankfully no.
Nope. No matter what you do, you cannot escape fate.
Because Arthur didn't cough on him.
he gave me a gold bar
What legendary animal are available at the start if chapter three
Is that a buck?
How I lose honor when they shot me first
Didnt know this at all but arthur can sing with some of the gang members
So explorer 7 was fun!
Where is these bison
Around the heartlands and great plains
I been searching the Great Plains for them but can’t find a perfect one
Check the heartlands
Swanson?
Sober?
When you realize that air travel wasn't as popular as it is today, thus Arthur's fear of heights is justified:
"Delicate flower"
Yes, and she demonstrates that perfectly as she murders entire O'Driscoll camps.
Is there anyway to move satchel stuff to horse cargo
No
Is there a way to keep weapons on your wheel without having to take them off the horse all the time?
Nope
Lol I knew it
It’s just a pain and suffering you get used to
What ab at the camp locker thing
Can I get rid of the horse then lol (not a good idea I know) I just figured I’d ask
I thought they were referring to when you dismount you unequip longarms
Easiest "fix" when not playing on God's Chosen platform (where mods are a possibility): steal someone's horse, any horse really. Ride that one and have your "Main Horse" follow. Your weapons will remain on your back just as you set them, as long as you do not board your "Main Horse."
And tbh, the mods are only a partial fix: only allows one weapon on back.
Where do you buy better satchels
If you can steal a REALLY GOOD horse, and then have another good horse as the Main one, then you are all set: just never put the saddle on the one that is your "Temporary Horse" and it will always retain its original saddle, and you can mount it without the game putting your long arms away for you.
trapper I think
Kk thx
Welp, at least Arthur got to fly before he dies.
Get decent horse
Get white arabian
Keep main horse and have the saddle on it but only use arabian
Why
Bam no more unequip and still meh horse
Oh ok
Good for hunting w double horses
A list of things Arthur should do before he dies:
Get an Arabian.
Does anybody know if I go to online on rdr2 if it will use my steam username? Because I made my steam account when I was like 10. . .AND HELL NAH AM I USING IT.
How do I get a better satchel cause the trapper don’t sell one
Whats your favorite horse in story mode?
Just set camp up and got robbed do I let them go or kill both
Will I lose honor for killing then
It’ll use your social club
You can check that tapping”Home” on your keyboard and it should open the menu
You should be able to change it once a year if it’s not to your liking I suppose
Shaozi
No
I’m killing them
Oh good, thankyou Shaozi. Because I was fully prepared to make another steam account and buy it again😂
How do I upgrade my satchel tho
Suggest hiding your steam connection on social club if its that bad
Go to the trapper give him the perfect pelts he needs and youll get the offer to buy satchel I believe
What pelts if you don’t mind me asking and if you happen to know
No idea just go to the trapper and it’ll show
Ok thank you
Each satchel has its different quirks and benefits
That’s cool
Like one lets you store more valuables and another lets you store more herbs etc.
And tthen the legend of the east lets you store 99 of everything
Thank you
The “satchel of the east” is the best one
It increases everything in your satchel to cap at 99
And then you have “the legend of the east outfit” to go wit the satchel. You get it from completing all challenges
The buffs are:
Weapon condition +10%
Money looted +10%
Melee damage taken -10%
Damage on horseback taken -10%
Eagle Eye duration +5 seconds
All cores drain 10% slower and gain 10% bonus experience
do certain animals require a certain weapon to headshot them in order to get a perfect pelt?
Yes
an example?
For bison you need a rifle like Springfield or rolling block.
Bigger animals need bigger guns
ah okay
If you wanna know you can look with your binoculars and study then then show info to see
okay thanks
Np
I have a $100 bounty cause I killed some oDriscolls and bounty hunters came over so I shot them cause I thought they were more oDriscolls
Murfree Brood?
Are those the guys that threatened me back when I was setting up camp to hunt some Elk?
That happen to me so I killed then
Y’all know the like 8 places the train can/will take you
Do you think Dutch keeps making plans because he thinks if they truly accomplish their goal, they'd no longer have any reason to stick around?
anyone still have long loading times when starting the game?
So the Legendary Buck is in the death zone? . . . ah no, just that Map is pretty dang inaccurate I guess. Okay: back to just wandering aimlessly then! 🤣
sup
raises hand indeed
Rabbits
Yea, I think it's never been about escaping from the law
He wants everything to still be like what it was during the peak of the old west
Time to start the legendary Buck hunt
Is there a certain part of the story you need to reach to hunt the legendary Buck
I’m in its territory
I got it!!!!
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I’m on the quest going to horseshoe valley and I can’t steer the wagon left or right, it only goes forwards🫤 I put on cinematic mode currently. But I’m just worried this is gonna be a consistent problem
Chapter 1-3: The gang at full strength.
Chapter 6: A fractured shell of its former self, no longer under the facade of a family, but revealed for what it truly is: A cult.
It's not a cult, it's just a failed gang
I love the music to that mission so much
"We'd never hide in a cave. That'd be admitting that we're nothing but low down criminals."
Chapter 6: C A V E
Go to saint denis and greet people or go fishing and throw the fish back in the water
Kk thx I’ve greeted almost everyone there twice didn’t know ab the fish tho
Buck and elk seem to be the two best trinkets in the game
Both make you more money
So why did people believe so easily that Molly was the traitor?
She's drunk.
So how would Beavers Hollow feel?
...Dutch is trying to make a non-rehearsed speech and failing big time, Karen and Susan are arguing, and nobody seems to want to talk to each other.
On the plus side, Swanson is sober.
can anyone help me with rdr2 mods
Have you killed the legendary boar
Is it a big or a small pelt I looked online but can’t find it
I haven't.
Kk
And now Susan is telling off Mary-Beth for whatever reason.
Anyone know
Braithwaite?
Please can someone tell me if the legendary boat pelt is a big or a small one
i got it!!
3/16
Is there any place in the story you need to reach to hunt the snow bison
No
It takes like 5 minutes
If it spawns first time
Wait
I thought you couldn’t do the long horn until the epilogue
It spawned
Got it
And how fitting that Dutch's "Man Unleashed" quote amounts to nothing in the face of someone other than the gang.
What legendary should I get next
the moose
Welp, the Murfrees remembered what I did.
I can kill a racist with no downsides but i kill the dude that raped me and I lose honor
Man, Beavers Hollow is sad.
Clemens Point really was their peak.
So now the Murfree are chasing me around.
Are there any guards in the Braithwaite Manor?
No
What did y'all do with the old slave owner in Rhodes after his mission?
Just finished it, shot him in the head over his campfire afterwards
you can shoot him or let him go, it doesn't matter
shot him cus i was bored but I felt like letting him live would be even more suffering for the guy
You do get some extra honor for shooting him though, not much but it shows on the screen
I mainly shot him just for trying to shoot me with the gun i got back for him even if some of his things got burnt
it's more fun to go into KKK camps, listen to a bit of their stupidity, then shoot them up when it gets boring
I still haven't seen them, any specific chapter they start appearing in?
I'm trying, finding anyone but them rn
it's not easy to come accross them, but they do appear at night mostly
never came across them in day time at least
