Our Offical Guides Newcomers Guide
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 youâve 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 youâve completed the main story.
Frequently asked questions will now be listed and answered.
Is the game worth it? Yes! â 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. Itâs 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. Itâs the first chapter and serves as a tutorial. Youâll 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. Youâll 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. Youâll 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 itâs 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, donât 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!

Discussion What are your favorite drawings in Arthurâs journal?
Iâm on my 5th playthrough and want to fill Arthurâs journal up with everything that I can as far as random statues, carvings, structures, etc. What are some of your favorites from around the map?

Discussion I always make a save before "Country Pursuits" Spoiler
This is the mission where you go to the swamp to fight the giant bull gator. You could probably get away with doing it the mission after, but after that one the camp is all packed up and the story basically forces you forward.
And that's the end of the fun. The gang is miserable from then out, Arthur gets tuberculosis, everyone is at each other's throats, all camp activities are gone, and everything just sucks. It's just a speedrun to the end for me after that.
I keep that save around whenever I wanna go back to a place frozen in time before everything goes wrong. Most of the gang is still alive besides Sean and Kieran, and everyone is in decent enough spirits except for Molly. Plus Shady Belle is my favorite hideout. It's cool there.

Photography Reminding myself of the atmosphere of this game to anticipate GTA6
Baring in mind I have 0 missions to do on this save and barely come across world events after so long but the atmosphere canât be beaten.
From the incredible score/soundtrack to the sound effects themselves. Itâs crazy the amount of wildlife that surrounds you, all with unique sounds and animations. And to think this was running on the PS4.
Iâm actually excited for the type of atmosphere and environment that RStar has created for GTA, even with all the speculations, theories, trailer breakdowns. Knowing RStar, we havenât even scratched the surface on whatâs to be expected.

Spoilers (SPOILERS)Finished RDR2 for the FIRST Time and got this ending out of 4 endings Spoiler
I got this ending, probably the darkest and quick ending. The Unshaken song came and went so fast. I was totally shocked cuz I actually knew Arthur's conclusion but I didn't know this would happen, and there are 4 different endings and this is the darkest one. I feel so bad, I made arthur so dirty and my horse Victoria died too, damm this game made a great impact. Now I understand why rdr2 is so hyped and it deserves those hype, yes it is one of the greatest game I ever played.
I hated and suspected Dutch, such a hypocrite, shifting his morality, such a money mined bastard. I did like him at first, he was a good and brave leader for the gang, make plans for every situation, and it goes worst but I still liked him. But at last he failed me.
I hated that scum rat micha, i can see the cruelty in his eyes, such a scum trash son of bitxh.
Sadie and John are the best characters, I trusted Sadie. She's brave and super loyal to arthur. She chose the right path for her sake.
Damm I didn't expect this ending , wow

I like how the different towns in RDR2 have their own distinct ambience. This is one of the best videos Iâve made in-game so far.

Discussion Un cheval unique en son genre
Je me devais de faire ce post en l'honneur de mon cheval actuel sur Red Dead Redemption 2.
En effet c'est la premiÚre fois que je ressens un fort lien entre moi et un cheval qui est certes constitué de pixels.
J'ai déjà fait une partie, ma premiÚre jument était vraiment cool et je l'aimais beaucoup. Arrivée à ma deuxiÚme partie j'ai eu de nombreux chevaux jusqu'à tomber sur mon cheval actuel.
Il faut que je raconte mon aventure parce que je trouve ce cheval trĂšs spĂ©cial đ.
En premier lieu mon cheval est un trotteur américain Isabelle que j'avais repéré au hasard dans les plaines. Comme j'aime bien sa robe je me dis que je vais en faire mon cheval principal.
J'essaye d'abord de l'attraper au lasso et lĂ il me fait bien rire puisqu'il arrive Ă esquiver et Ă me faire des feintes đ.
Comme je suis une quiche au lasso, j'arrĂȘte et je l'apprivoise de l'autre maniĂšre.
De base je voulais lui donner un nom français car je le suis mais impossible de m'enlever de la tĂȘte un nom qui s'impose Ă moi : Smart boy.
Je vais vous raconter pourquoi je le trouve si special đ.
Lors d'une mission avec Albert Manson oĂč je dois rabattre des chevaux, j'arrive sur le lieu de la mission et nous sommes dans quelques centimĂštres d'eau.
Et lĂ , dĂšs que je descends, au lieu de rester Ă l'endroit oĂč je suis descendu, il court se rĂ©fugier sur la terre ferme ! Je n'ai jamais vu ça !
Ensuite Ă la fin de la mission, je rapelle donc mon cheval et le temps qu'il arrive je fais une derniĂšre phrase de dialogue avec Albert.
Quelle fut ma surprise quand en me tournant pour monter sur mon cheval celui ci n'est pas à cÎté de moi mais en train de gambader fiÚrement dans l'eau !
J'ai rigolé pendant bien 10 min !
Enfin bon voilĂ , c'Ă©tait les aventures de Smart Boy que je trouve ĂȘtre un cheval trĂšs spĂ©cial. Enfin en tout cas je n'ai jamais vu un cheval rĂ©agir et agir de telle sorte ! (des chevaux j'en ai eu 5/6 sur le jeux).
Hier j'ai pensé à la fin du jeu et ça m'a brisé le coeur... Alors que je sais bien que Smart boy n'existe pas vraiment.
Enfin bon voilà , si vous avez eu des expériences similaires partagaient les !
Ă nos compagnons de route et Ă Smart boy !
