15 Weird Plot Holes in Red Dead Redemption 2 (And 10 Things That Just Didn’t Make Sense)

The gang has ample opportunities to eliminate both Ross and Milton, yet they never do it. Arthur has the chance to do it while he’s fishing with Jack, but we can understand not wanting to subject the child to violence. However, both agents later show up, completely unprotected, to the Van der Linde camp in order to negotiate a tr

Though I love games that give players the ability to choose their own path, very few games truly nail the balance between good and bad choices. Sometimes the options are incredibly obvious as to which way they lean and sometimes they lead you in completely unpredictable directions. In Red Dead , the honor system was created in a way that makes it incredibly subjective and driven by immediate situations rather than a standard and universal law of morality. Consider the consequences of each action before making a decision. Sometimes ending someone’s life might actually be the honorable decis

There are a lot of birds online, and we do mean A LOT of birds. You cannot go anywhere on the map without looking into the sky and seeing flocks of birds in the distance. More often than not, you’ll only notice these birds when you’re on your way to a new location, but you really should take the time to shoot them d

The griefers will see you on one knee and assume “they got you” at which point they will approach to lasso or kill you. If you position yourself just right, when they get into position, you just quick draw and shoot the dynamite (or detonate it by hand). The griefer will not have the proper reaction time, as that is all but impossible, and you can’t help but feel like they might have learned a life lesson from being blown ten feet in the air for trying to ruin other people’s fun. Please note, this is even more satisfying if they are a whole posse, as when placed right, dynamite can easily kill five (and their hors

In GTO, do five bounties for Eccles and then you’ll unlock the hatchet. With the hatchet, slaughter 25 opponents with it and you’ll unlock access to it in Red Dead Online . Hop onto RDO and you’ll need to find the Stone Hatchet near the burial site. It’s a bit of work, but it isn’t difficult to get done by any me

These epilogues and the rest of your time in the game end up being a taste of the life fans of the series have wished for from John’s story. It’s a small taste of peace and happiness before the cycle begins anew from what we saw in the original Red Dead Redemption 2 legendary animals Dead Redemption . Arthur’s journal being passed to John helps facilitate this all-too-brief period of happiness in his life.

Just because the Van der Linde Gang is a group of outlaws, doesn’t mean they’re averse to usury. Leopold Strauss is the member of the Gang who gives loans to people with extremely high interest rates. He then sends Arthur to collect the de

Quick aside, first and foremost the best advice we can give is try to create or join a private session with like-minded players. Though difficult, it is possible and can make for a much more enjoyable collected experie

Throughout the game, it’s established that the gang can never go back to Blackwater due to their notoriety and the insane prices on their heads. So, why couldn’t they just pay off the bounty and walk back in? It seems that everything has a price in this game, including morality. You can wipe out an entire city, pay some money, and walk right back in like nothing ever happened. Well, that’s just what the Van der Linde gang did in Blackwater, yet apparently, their crimes were so foul that they went beyond bounties. Why is destroying Blackwater so much worse than destroying Saint De

So when Arthur and his friends got thrown out of their boat on tempest-tossed waves and they all landed on Guarma together, I had to deal with a heavy dose of skepticism. There is no way that they should have been able to land together near the same spot, let alone survived their time spent nearly drown

The entire game must be populated by elephants because the NPCs will never forget a single thing that you do in front of them. Seriously. If your character is consistently finding themselves in hot water, make sure that they clear their bounty in any given area or town. If they fail to do so, the townspeople will remember the trouble that you got up to the last time that you visited their neck of the woods and will make nonstop comments about it upon your arri

As for Red Dead Redemption II , it has been reading Arthur and John’s journal. Every time I boot up this four-state-sized map filled with details, missions, and content out the wazoo, the very first thing I do is hold left on the D-Pad and read.

As on any big game with an interconnected plot and multiple side missions, things can get pretty complicated. And just because I think Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game to come out this year (take that God of War ), does not mean I can’t recognize its flaws. Read on if you want to learn about the many plot holes and unanswered questions that RDR2 left hang
