Congratulations, didn't even know there was a outfit to unlock for doing those. Thanks.

This outfit even gives you not only perks, but bonuses for health, stamina and dead eye. But in normal gameplay you'll not be able to do this for Arthur, you must to do the glitch for going in New Austin with Arthur.

[NDX47]

@irondmitry Cool, didn't know it had perks as well. Thanks bud.

[FLIP]

I am wondering what they have in store for us once the game is out of beta in terms of outfits and what not. I haven't seen much I liked thus far.

Hi,can anyone help, does anyone remember that glitch when this game first came out where you could pick up gold bars over and over in that burnt out town ? I started this game but didn’t have time to continue it until now, so I want to start from the beginning, I know they’ve probably patched it but if i reinstall the whole game turn off patch updates so it’s at 1.00 collect the gold then save and then update will that work ? Thanks

it was fixed if i recall correctly, even so if you're on xbox the glitch didn't work, you only could get 2 extra bars.

If I'm not mistaken, it's been patched.  Also, I heard R* had reset some other player's ill-gotten gains who were using other exploits so I would use any of these at your own risk.  In other words, your effort may be for naught if you do.  .....ymmv.

Try YouTube if you're really interested in cheats, exploiting glitches, etc.  I don't really think that's something management really wants to encourage or condone here.

I think yes. Because all the other glitches are working. For example the glitch with free horses near Saint Denis, I saved the game than updated it and my silver fox trotter is with me.

[Foxtrot]

Yes it was patched.  but there's plenty of gold out there if you want to find and follow the treasure maps.

Not that you really need the money in the first part of the story - that easy gold bar should be enough to start with.

that's not a glitch, a glitch is a bug, or a malfunction.  This is an exploit of using the save game reset to get the random spawn horses to spawn to what you want.  I tried that my first play through but after 15 times or so (felt like 1500) of loading the game and not seeing the horses i wanted i gave up.  Kinda pointless anyway when you can get white Arabian at the beginning of chapter 2 (after you unlock the stables) very easily and it's one of the best horses in the game.

White Arabian is far from the best horse in the game. She get spooked to easy and arabians are small. Fox Trotter and even Turkoman is better as fo me.

[Foxtrot]

Buell is the best horse in the game.

[puxxled]

Thanks for the replies, yeah it didn’t work unfortunately, I just remember weapons, outfits and the camp being expensive and I remember searching bodies in the beginning and getting like .58 cents of most of them that’s why I took advantage of that glitch. I’ll play legitimately no problem. Thanks anyway.

The only regret I have is that I didn't save the last Veteran mission for John. But I wouldn't have had Buell for most of the game. 

Damn you R*!

[Foxtrot]

Yeah, on my third attempt, I saved Buell for John, and then spent a long time tracking down the rest of the compendium for 100% completion.

Arthur did love that horse though.

Didn't even consider that. I didn't want to give up a solid horse and ride something that may not have been as good. I had a few crap horses man.

I'm having it clearer than ever that good Writing is of absolute importance to the quality of a single-player video game.

Recently, I've played West of Loathing, which has superb writing, then I've played RDR2. which makes hunting wild boars a huge relief from the boredom of that game's pathetic, useless writing.

West of Loathing is a much better game than RDR2. There's a reason for it.

You've created a thread with the exact same response.  Just a reminder to please not spam. .....if that's your intention of joining here.

Other than that, welcome.

I’m finding this game so tedious now, so many things are starting to bug me, making a potent bait to catch a panther is nightmare, why are berries so sparse even when looking in the right locations ? But every other plant there everywhere then when I do finally make the bait that’s suppose to attract big game (panther) a god damn squirrel or some little rodent comes and eats it. Then there is the deal with my outfits, I have 3 slots so I have the winter one, summer one where it’s just a shirt and a third one which is like an in between, so I’m miles away from camp and it’s says I’m getting hot so I go in my inventory and the the summer out is not there I have my winter outfit and two of the same one which say I’m hot, is this a glitch or something ? I’m Glad god of war wiped the floor with this game with all the awards.

[Foxtrot]

Well, you don't really need the predator bait to get the panther.  You just need to be around at the spawn point at the right time.

You don't need to worry about winter clothing if you're only going into the snow for a short period (your cores drain faster, but you just eat more frequently to top them up).

Plants seem to take a long time to respawn, so learn to only pick them when you need them and try not to feed them to your horse if you can help it.

You don't really have to do a lot of the stuff in the game that it leads you to believe.

Bait is worthless in my experience.  There's a few posts here i've made to describe the easiest way i found to hunt a panther.  do a search in the forums or IM me and i can give you the run down.

respawn timers, pick what's there, leave for 2 or 3 in-game days to do something else and go back for more after.

unless your talking about the Beta online version your horse has 5 outfits, like @Foxtrot said you don't need to bother changing outfits.  I wore 2 outfits during both play-throughs, didn't bother changing for cold or hot climates, just have to eat more to keep your health core full.

 

 

[Johnny-the-Thug]

First of all - thanks for having me here and let me voice my honest opinion. RDR2 is a game a care about a lot, probably more than most other games out there, so I decided to voice a couple of my opinions regarding its state right now (single-player). I know a lot has already been said, including the things I'm about to say, but hear me out nonetheless. I didn't want this post to be buried somewhere on Reddit, so I figured addressing some of my complaints on the official RDR2 forum would be the wisest thing to do. Here it goes.

I love Red Dead Redemption 2. Truly, love. It is a very very special game, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. I never cared about RDR2's online mode, and although its fun, it's not what makes RDR special for me and most of us playing this game. The only thing I truly care about is its single-player, and for everything great about it, there are aspects that I feel could be and should be improved. In short - I think Rockstar needs to find a way of making all those single-player open-world mechanics (hunting, camp upgrades and donations, survival elements, bounty systems) work better and actually, well, matter. Hear me out.

I don't want to have 300+ ammo for every weapon and have nothing to spend my money (and other resources) on later in the game, no true gameplay incentive to craft all those knives and arrows and tomahawks, and make camp donations for no other reason than roleplay. If R* would find a way to introduce at least a "simple" hardcore mode (like in original RDR), that would be a major, major plus. But first...

Imagine having certain big story missions not appear on your radar until the sum in camp's depository box reached a certain amount. This alone would:

- make activities in open-world a whole lot meaningful (like scavenging, hunting and robbering - with all the systems that come along with it) ;

- compliment the overall narrative of Arthur's journey;

- make player become more invested in the camp and make later story developments and revelations feel that much more powerful;

- actually make those camp upgrades meaningful (like the one which motivates others to donate more).

Better yet - it creates meaningful opportunities to seek other activities and alternative earning methods. Let's say you don't want to rob and kill innocent folk for their money to progress the story. That's fine! Go on a treasure hunt and bring those gold bars to the camp! Don't like riding across the whole map for 1 gold bar? Go win a high-stakes poker game!

OR - if you really want to hold on to all those trinkets and gold bars and money AND be an honorable person AND not gamble - introduce a simple system in which camp's cosmetic upgrades would count as "camp donations". Say you really want to make that camp fire area really cozy, you spent hours hunting and gathering resources. You come back with all that, you craft those carpets and hang those buffalo skulls - and the game recognizes your investment to the community not just by having gang react to that, but also via gameplay mechanics. 

And voila - suddenly you got yourself a game where all the systems work in tandem to serve both the story and gameplay, while providing meaningful options for the player. Adding a Hardcore Mode (less ammo, harsher status effects and core regen, no auto-aim, more expensive items in shops etc, deadlier enemies, death penalties) will further improve the experience, boosting the necessity of using (as well as crafting and buying) all those tonics and other buff items, including special ammo types.

Now, I fully realize that it will take some tinkering and balancing, sure, but just imagine how better the game would become because of that. Also, I'm 100% certain Rockstar had all these ideas discussed at some point, or potentially discussing them now.

Still, I try not to have too much hope for any of that, given how focused they are on the online component right now. Yet, I think it would not be unreasonable to estimate that we might get some version of what I described above with the release of the next-gen systems (along with a PC version). 

Thanks for your attention!

Hi Johnny and welcome to the forums.  

Thanks for your contributions here and we welcome your insights, ideas, suggestions, etc. for discussion.  However, when I saw that you said "official" forum I thought I should point out that RDR2.org is a fan forum.  It is official forum of R* nor 2K.  The only official website I know of for providing feedback on the RDO Beta is the RDO Beta Feedback site:

https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=decd9bdb

Again, we welcome your points for discussion here as well and hope you will continue to hang around.

Howdy strangers,

I've been trying to get the symbol of the American Robin on my map in RDR2's story mode. It is purely an optical issue to me, IMO these drawings look awesome.

What exactly is triggering those drawings? The skinning, scanning, or killing of the animal in a certain area? Does anybody have a clue?

Thanks in advance.

There's your answer @EtgarA.  See, I told you to have a little patience. 

Seriously though, the community here responds to most questions asked by new members within the same day or so.

[EtgarA]

Yeah, thank you very much. But how do you track small birds like the robin?

[Kean_1]

I think as long as you spot them, that should do it.  Maybe Kormath will be kind enough to confirm. 

[Foxtrot]

You don't need to track the birds, only "study" them.  It's a heck of a lot easier when they're sitting on rocks and not flying.

Binoculars scare birds, so use a scoped rifle for doing this.
