This next weapon may appear to be worn out and used, but don’t let it fool you. This powerful melee weapon has a flat edge along one side of the blade that made it perfect for hewing, which makes it a powerful weapon in the hands of an expert fighter. Used to convert logs into lumber, this weapon can be found in a tree stump near Moonstone Pond in the Grizzlies, right next to what appears to be an abandoned shack. What makes this weapon so great also is that it’s a throwable melee weapon, perfect for surprise or silent takedo

Rockstar Games announced a few weeks back that Red Dead Redemption 2 had been delayed from its Spring window and would officially be released later this year on October 26. In doing so, it became the first game to really drop into the Fall window of releases with a firm date. You can be sure that other companies took careful note of this late October date -- even the one that annually has the highest selling game.

Hand manufactured from the antler of a stag, a part of the blade seems to have snapped off near the crossguard. The weapon can be found near Hanging Dog Ranch in Big Valley, where a scene plays out of a massive fight between a large bear and a hunter. It would appear neither one of the fighters survived the encoun

Do you get a little irritated by having to get to the map via the pause menu? Well, fear not, because you don't actually have to! While the game doesn't tell you this, you can jump straight to the map if you hold down the start button, rather than tapping it to bring up the pause menu. While this only really takes a few seconds off the process of getting there, it's highly rewarding to know, and makes it much less of a faff to look at where you're head

Thankfully, we've seen some hints that red dead redemption 2 locations Dead Redemption 2 will almost certainly bring back some of these minigames, as a recent screenshot highlighted the game's protagonist, Arthur Morgan, and the rest of the Van der Linde gang surrounding a poker table . I had no doubts that we'll see Poker and Blackjack return to a game like Red Dead Redemption 2 , but what I'm equally hoping we see are even more eclectic minigames that truly exemplify the game's Western setting, and that can add deeper dimensions to its world.

One of the recurring threads of the original Red Dead Redemption was John Marston’s willingness to go along with just about every scheme thrust his way. It didn’t matter whether people wanted him to shoot, lie, or cheat, John would play along just so he could be reunited with his beloved wife and son. Naturally, this is a trend that extends all the way back to the second g

While you can unlock fast travel fairly early on by upgrading your tent, the game does have a pseudo-fast travel system built in. If you set a custom waypoint on your map, switch to cinematic view, and then set your horse running by holding down X/A, the horse will make its way to the waypoint. You don't need to even hold the button down. You can go and make a cup of tea/coffee if you like, and when you come back, your horse should be at the destinat

As much as I enjoyed Poker, the amusing wits of strength in Arm Wrestling, and the surprising layers of strategy in Liar's Dice, no minigame in Red Dead Redemption brought out a sense of tension in me more than Five Finger Fillet, where players had to time their button presses to a series of rapid prompts by placing a knife between the spaces on their spread out fingers. Between the grisly image of seeing John's hand spread out on a table stained with the blood of past Finger Fillet losers and the fast-paced nature of its gameplay, Five Finger Fillet felt like the perfect mix of a minigame that truly embodied the gritty, Western world of Red Dead , while also bringing a unique bit of gameplay that had me terrified to look at a knife the same way again.

Remember when Horizon Zero Dawn and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released in the same week last year? Despite Horizon being a phenomenal game-- some would say the best of last year -- Breath of the Wild still ended up dominating the conversation in the casual and broader gaming scene. I imagine that Red Dead Redemption 2 will end up being one of those conversation-dominating titles as well, which means it's likely better for Activision to just stay out of its way after release.

Previously owned by a lonely woodsman living in solitude in Roanoke Ridge, this weapon was cherished deeply by the previous wielder. Able to carry two rounds of ammo at a time, the weapon can fire regular buckshot, incendiary buckshot, slug, and explosive slug shotgun rou

Your horse often can’t gallop too fast; your horse will occasionally crash into rocks and trip over, and your horse can be swayed by the course of a river to its doom. It’s real. It’s cool in that regard. But it makes riding an absolute chore at times. One wrong move will result in your horse collapsing and Arthur needing to waste one of his many Horse Revitaliz
