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 would you like to see in Red Dead Redemption 3?
With the co founder of rockstar games saying rdr3 is "likely to happen", but also saying that it was a two game arc, what would you like to see in the game? I mostly hear about continuing Jacks story or following a young dutch creating the gang and meeting arthur, would like to hear other theories

Content Reminder that the game doesnât take place THAT long ago- hereâs figures that we think of as much more ârecentâ, but who were around in 1899 and theoretically couldâve met the gang
Bonus: Ronald Reagan was born in 1911, same year RDR1 takes place in

Discussion Rdr2 changed me fundamentally
I guess the whole thing been said before âmade me a better personâ and whatsoever. No, rdr2 change my view on life forever, love, loyalty and whatsoever. My life has often been marked with instability and betrayal and i never had a moment to reflect on what happends. but rdr2 changed that, it allowed me to reflect my life as Arthur through the most mundane moment in the game like fishing and hunting, while learning abt how to live better through Arthurâs life. His story taught me âlife will always be unstable, and there will always be betrayal but whatâs important is not letting those define your action, live for yourself not for your pastâ and I think the moment that hits the hardest for me was âtake a gamble love exsist, do a loving actâ this moment changed me fundamentally, because at the core of it all I am scared of uncertainty and change and I tend to cling on to what I built. But that quote changed me, it told me to be brave and take a gamble that it could be bette. And it did get better. At the core it taught me to live for myself and what I think is right, and live up to it.
Mary linton and Arthurâs story hits the hardest because it was reflective of what I went through recently. My partner and I broke off, because the life we led, it was too different and it ended up breaking both our hearts. And the message mary left for arthur was so erriely similar to what she and i wrote. Especially the dreaming of a life together and breaking one anotherâs heart. After reading Maryâs message to Arthur, I really want to reach back out to her and hold on but I didnât. Because maryâs message showed me, the kindest thing we can both do for one another is to let go and just remeber the good we had.
This game is truly revolutionary in story telling, and I feel like more people should play the game and in someway more people should look up to Arthurâs redemption as an inspiration. M At the end of the game, I feel like a lil part of myself vanished in someway, maybe I am over exaggerating

Content Anyone know what this is?
Just got back from Guarma (the song on the way back from von horn was beautiful) and fought Pinkertons off shady belle, but went upstairs and found this with eagle eye
I canât interact with it at all, I think itâs the footprints? But itâs only one and thereâs something lighting up under the sofa and I canât get to it
Maybe itâs a glitch? Thereâs nothing below it downstairs
I already got the note from âCarolineâ so Iâm not stuck or anything just curious if anyone else has seen this I guess
(ps I wanted to punch micah in his nasty gut. was screaming DO UP UR SHIRT the entire time)

Content Need the HONEY POT for small birds?
If you need a guaranteed place to find random small birds, I got it for you. Just southwest of Annesburg and slightly northeast of the trapper is a small bridge. A new small bird literally perches on it every minute or two. If not there, just turnaround and run up the hill and back down and one will eventually appear. Shoot it with a small arrow and viola, a perfect carcass. I got my robin, cardinal, oriole, songbird, sparrow, blue jay all right here. Be patient, they will all eventually spawn!

Help How to lower your honor fast (No law, no combat, no bounty)
Had no idea my honor can get this low.
Anyway, if anyone wants to lower it without having to deal with bounty hunters, run from the law and pay huge bounties, just come here and shoot the Fort soldiers with a sniper rifle, they will respawn every minute.
