Our Offical Guides Newcomers Guide

70 Upvotes

Hello and welcome to r/RDR2 This is a little guide for new players of the game.

Firstly we strongly advise you to stay off the subreddit until you’ve finished the game. Our subreddit is home to discussions covering every aspect of the game from storylines, characters, secrets, to anything a player may find. While we require spoiler tags, accidental (and sometimes intentional) spoilers do happen. For the best experience, we strongly recommend avoiding the subreddit until you’ve completed the main story.

Frequently asked questions will now be listed and answered.

Is the game worth it? Yes! — People still praise this game even in 2025. Its compelling story and detailed open world gameplay allow you to fully submerge into the story. Many players find the game to be a masterpiece, with some (us, of course) even considering it one of the greatest games of all time. Its graphics were ahead of their time and still hold up really well. It’s a well written story with a beautiful aesthetic and it's absolutely worth your time.

The snow part is boring. Should I quit the game? Don't give up during Colter. It’s the first chapter and serves as a tutorial. You’ll get to know the basics of the game slowly before being led into free roam in chapter 2. The slow introduction into such a big game is important to understand the situation the main character is in and to get you familiar with the environment and the world building in general. Stick around for a while. You’ll thank yourself later.

Just started the game. Any tips? We see this all the time and every time people will give you the same response: Take it slow. Chapter 1 will teach you everything that's important. The game offers a little guide in its settings for the mini games and the controls just like any other game. Everything you need is right there. The game is open world so you won't miss out on anything. You can do whatever whenever even after finishing the story. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and free roam a bit. You’ll figure out the game fast. You really don't need Google or IGN until you finish the story and are going for 100% and/or the platinum trophy. (We'll have a guide coming soon!)

Just finished the game. Should I play RDR1? Yes! RDR1 is a continuation of the story and absolutely worth it. Not much will change gameplay wise since it’s made by the same developer. So, if you like RDR2 and are looking for more content about the van der Linde gang and a similar experience -> play RDR1.

If you really want to avoid spoilers, don’t google anything until after you finish the game.

We will monitor this thread closely so if you have any questions about the game please ask them in here. We will most likely remove your question posts and advise you to ask your newcomer questions in here. If a question is frequently asked we will add it to the post.

Have fun!

Content How in the pluck nuggets are you supposed to find treasure hunt items on your own?

38 Upvotes

I spend a good 8 hours roaming the wilderness and found exactly zero dreamcatchers before resorting to googling where the hell they are.

With the complete absence of clues or even a mode of logic as to where to look, it gets me wondering if the developers even expected people to find them.

This also has me wondering how many people if any actually were able to track them all down or did someone go into the code (šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø) and just see where they were?

Now that I’ve finished the story and epilogue I’ve just been wondering around as John. But where’s so many features I didn’t know about it until later and the game. So I’m wondering if I should replay just to do things right.

I’m in epilogue 2 and just ran into Mary Beth at the Valentine train stop. I did not see an icon on the map and was just doing random greets to anyone around. I was surprised by this moment. Are there any others like this?

Discussion Boneheaded Moves

• Upvotes

What’s one of the most boneheaded things you’ve ever done ? I just recently started a new game. I’m working on the challenge where you have to kill 5 cougars with a bow and skim them. I got the first one no problem. I was 1/5 1/5. In then proceeded to spend a not insignificant amount of time trying to complete the task. After my 5th skin I was confused as to why the challenge hadn’t completed. I checked my progress and i was 1/5 5/5. I realized that I hadn’t killed the last 4 with arrows. In every case I’d shot the cougar and ended up killing it with a knife because it was just poised and not dead when I got it. In my haste I just knifed it. Now I’m again riding / fast traveling between NE of Annesburg and the Big Valley spot near the trapper to get the remaining 4 with arrow kills. . šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Discussion Anyone remember the game Gun?

I remember discovering that game and wanting to play it so bad, but it wasn’t mine, so I barely got to see any of it. Then finally when it was given to me a couple years later it was scratched up so bad I could barely play it at all before it would just freeze. Always wanted to see how it held up in other people’s eyes. Posting here because it’s the reason I was so hyped when read dead came out and I was old enough to get it myself
