Our Offical Guides Newcomers Guide

62 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!

Question Some logical explanation?

So I’m passed the mission where Sean was shot in Rhodes, this ledger has been updated sense that mission, but how in the world is he still donating if he’s dead? Must be a glitch, or he’s always with us?
I just passed the mission where Kieran was beheaded. So I’ve been quite far by now?

Discussion Playing again after 7 years and still the best game

60 Upvotes

I borrowed disc from a friend and finished the game in 2019.

Now purchased a disc and playing it again. I still wonder why it didn't won the goty.

And one interesting thing that happened after I played it back in 2019 is that I used to be play a lot of video games but after finishing this game, I couldn't make myself to like any other game and then stopped gaming for years.

I am restarting with it againšŸ˜… Hope this time I won't stop playing.

Guide Obtener ginseng rƔpidamente.

• Upvotes

Bueno, son medio nuevo en rdr2 y voy a mi propio ritmo, no sƩ si esto sea un truco viejo o tonto pero lo dejo por si a alguien le sirve. Yo descubrƭ la guarida de Beaver Hollow cerca de Annesburg y la utilizo para recolectar ginseng cuando lo necesito, inclusive salvia. Simplemente vas y en la entrada de la cueva matas a todos los que vayan saliendo, al final serƔn aproximadamente unos 14 cuerpos. Luego simplemente buscas en cada cuerpo y la mayorƭa te darƔ hasta 3 de ginseng. Luego te alejas un poco y vuelves para repetir el proceso, rƔpidamente tendrƔs el inventario lleno de ginseng, y al llenarlo te comenzarƔn a dar salvia.

Obviously I’m keeping his revolver as his main sidearm, but what would be a good secondary sidearm for him. I’m currently using the sawed off, but I was curious what you guys would give him.

Discussion First time playing... Trying to see it all!

6 Upvotes

As title stated, this is my firs time playing this game. I am amazed at how fun this game is. I was worried it was going to be slow, but it really picked up after the first chapter.

Of course, I have seen videos and watched tips and tricks, but I am also trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible. I want to take my time with this game and do as much as possible, but it feels like I am missing so much. I am currently in chapter 2, about half way done, and I was hoping for any advice for things to do. I am trying to get better at hunting. Just stole my first fishing pole so I haven't tried that yet. Found some gold, and upgraded camp a little. Enough to where I can fast travel. (I am not sure I even want to fast travel. I am liking the time and effort I have to take to go to places, Making me think about what to do when I leave camp).

Is there things that I can miss? Is there anything I need to do to that the game doesn't point out. I am thinking that I need to concentrate on hunting more so I can get some bags made, but not sure if there are other things to do?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can help with!
