If you have a perfect big pelt on the back of your horse, and see another large perfect animal that you want to deliver to the trapper, mount your horse and lasso the dead animal without skinning. You can then drag the animal to the trapper and it will not damage the pelt.
The run down saloon in saint denis has 2 encounters. I got 18 perfect rats. Small game arrows. Btw the vermin rifle wont work. It signals disturbing the peace.
Use poison arrows for predators. They run off and die slowly but if they are perfect pelts and you hit them in the head they stay perfect, just hit them one time with the poison arrow.
Something super useful IMO is to study the animals, either with binoculars or just being next to them, so that you learn the best way to kill them and gather a pelt in perfect condition.
A good tip is have your main horse and find a random horse (steal or tame a wild) bond to level one. while on your main horse whistle for your now temporary horse and it will follow. Useful for stowing big hides. Hope this helps.
Can appropriate a horse for use as a "pack animal" from all the unowned horses just lounging around the gangs camps. Before you leave if you know your going for a couple big pelt type animals, just grab a Morgan or Tennessee walker at the camp and have your mount follow you until the generic horse bonds with you enough (not even sure you have to bond with it) then ride yours for hunting and have the pack horse carry pelts etc. If nothing else it saved the time it would've taken breaking a wild one, or the hassle that can happen when stealing one. I've never bothered with it, but a friend said she takes a wagon to carry extra skins/pelts. Seemed like too much of a pain trying to get them onto or staying on a wagon, to me though.
A tip I haven't seen mentioned much is that at max affinity with your horse when you calm it with right stick it regains some stamina bar. From my own experience this can let you run pretty much indefinitely without using horse tonics.
what!!?!?!? I was just thinking to myself that RDR2 needs a way to spin the gun! I had no idea you could already to it!! gonna try that tonight thanks!
Here are a couple: Don't use a double action revolver, as they have lower damage and fanning a cattleman has much higher rpm than the double action, the cattleman revolver will see you through to the end of the game, I suggest keeping the main holster cannon short and the offhand cannon long, as you use the main hand to quickdraw and a short barrel significantly decreases draw time. The offhand holster is practical to keep your longboy revolver if you want to kill targets moving away from you, you could also use a long barrelled Schofield on the offhand holster. If you wondered why the quickdraw events are so hard and sometimes seem impossible it's because your quickdraw pistol barrel is too long and thus takes a longer time to draw from your holster. this is especially helpful in RDO where you don't have slomo deadeye
Hack 1 should be: Hunt the Legendary Buck and get its trinket asap (Chapter 2 after unlocking Fence). Hack 2: Focus on completing the satchels until you have the Legend of the East one. This way you won't lose loot due to a full inventory. And the Trinket will prevent pelts and carcasses from rooting.
You need the legendary Pronghorn Trinket to prevent the Pelts from rotting, the legendary Buck will increase the pelt quality while skinning. The Problem is, the legendary Pronghorn can be found in new austin after the story
With #2, your honor went down because you killed someones farm animal. Animals that belong to someone or are in someones fence can't be killed without losing some honor. Learned this the hard way lol.
I found a pen full of goats outside of St Denis and needed a couple of pristine, 3-star pelts for the Trapper to craft some outfits. As I had gotten into some legal trouble following the butchering of a farmer's bull, I opened the gate, let the goats/sheep/whatever wander into a nearby cane field, and proceeded to use the bow and arrow on them. No problems!!!
Actually if you kill to many animals in a row without skinning, you'll lose honor. It doesn't matter if they're not farm animals, the only difference is that killing one in a farm will make you lose honor instantly.

Spacing your clicks every 12 to 15 seconds of consistent riding will recover a portion of your horses stamina, useful for races or long treks. If you have the thumb strength, just hold the stick down and your horses stamina will regenerate automatically every 12 seconds (pair this with a beaver saddle and high quality stirrups and cinematic mode for infinite riding). 2.) Using dead eye automatically reloads your weapon. If you're surrounded by more than 6 targets. Pop some slow-mo kills to extend your clip size. (Works even if the clip is empty!) 3.) If you're struggling to hunt animals. There are some procedures you can take to make it easier. (I'll use a boar as a case example.) - Study the animal to find its diet, Boars eat small rodents and amphibians, so check creeks and small bodies of water. - Bait it, and no not with store bought bait, that stuff doesn't descriminate. The best method is to stand at the location the animal appears, set up camp. (Camp usually spawn at great hunting location far from roads and trails). Then hunt down the animals favourite meal(Boars like rats, squirrels, and frogs). Coincidentally, those meals should be very easy to find in the animals habitat. After you've caught a meal, skin it(Skinned animals are easier to smell) and place it down, then wait nearby. You have a good chance of attracting your target. 4.) Are you tired of having worn weapons in your inventory? The only way to remedy this is to replace it with its high quality counter part. The game lets you own one of each( 2 of each for hand-held) non throwable weapon. If you have a worn Lancaster, you can wait until you find a good one in the world or just buy a replacement in the shop. Sorry, that's the only way. 5.) Just a for fun tip now. You may have heard by now but double tapping L1 performs a flourish before a gun is holstered.
Was just about to post this, glad someone did. Its not just about pulling down on the stick. Forward then down over n over literally drags the fish out of the water. Its twice as fast as reeling it in.
Something I always found incredibly helpful and wish somebody had told me was w the legendary animals, just use your sawed off shotgun. 1 shot to the head and it’s done, perfect pelt. Easy and quick.
Side tip on the gunsmith tip. If you let him clean the gun for you, the gun condition degrades much slower than if you cleaned it. Same goes for hair pomade. If you let the barber apply it on you, it last 5 days compared to the 3 when you put it on
For no.2, you do not need to go in and kill all the animals and have a bounty on your head. Do it safely by go into the paddock with your horse and lead them outside. Use your binocular or just aim your gun at each one of the animals to find the perfect skin. Than lead them away at a safe distance and kill it for skin/meat. Repeat the same process as needed elsewhere. Good luck :)
Some constructive feedback, having the number for the tip over the the top of the player stats HUD on the bottom left makes it hard to actually see the benefits of some of the tips. Top right would be a better location for any overlays in future RD2 videos. But anyway, thanks for the tips, hope you appreciated mine.
Kill a Legendary animal, and you can have a fence make a trinket to slow down gun degrading. Beaver Tooth Trinket - Legendary Beaver Tooth. Slows weapon degradation by 10 percent.
@@24ozz No. You sell a tooth or a claw that the Legendary Animal drops with the skin. The skin you sell to the Trapper to make clothes, the claw/tooth/etc you sell to the fence to make trinkets.
#6 It's faster even still to go down and up on the left stick. Down to get the pole closer to the fish and reel in the excess line, and up again to give the fish a nice pull towards you.
After the first tip, I thought this was going to be a good video. Nope. Nearly every other "tip" is just an aspect of the game you come across playing, some even explicitly explained to the player. For example, needing to have the gun cleaned before it can be customized by a gunsmith? Duh. Because when you try customizing your only option at first is to clean. That's hardly a "hack".
From what I’ve seen in multiple videos most players don’t know you can brush your horse while still mounted and for me I knew in my very first gameplay in the beginning.
With the fishing part, i found it super helpful to move your left joystick up and down while reeling in. That way, the fish is pulled closer and closer every time your left joystick goes down. You have to try it to get what i'm trying to say 😂 it's pretty hard with my little hands but it reels in the fish way quicker
Yep. You're exactly right. I fish a lot in the game to relax and have fished salmon for 3 game days and nights, selling the Salmon for $767.00. I'm quite sure salmon are the most valuable fish in the game. You have to find the right places to fish though.
My life: GET THE COMPANION APP! It's a more immersive/convenient experience. I remove the mini map on the game, kill the lights in the room, keep phone/tablet on the charger (most important step since the app will kill your phone in an hr), prop it up or put it on a stand, and hit the map. From there you can change it to Arther's mini map. PLUS, while you're traveling far in cinematic mode, you can see in the app how close you are to your destination without stopping.
Don't know if anybody else has done this but for hair and beard growth, while I'm on the horse I keep patting the horse then open the satchel quick and drink a few hair tonics then go into the stable and come back out and Arthur's/John's hair and beard has grown lol And for perfect pelts I kill the animal if it has 1 or 2 stars and leave it lying for a wee while and hang around the area, keep checking the animal and if the stars for the animals condition has disappeared then I skin it and it usually gives me a perfect pelt.
If you use your lasso before killing an animal, and walk towards it while it’s lassoed, you can kill it (perfect pelt everytime) (I think animal specific, only tried on deer and pigs)
Ok the satchel upgrades are really big..bought all of them 4 slots of each item(I used rum) up to 99 slots!!! Ill never run out of deadeye again.. But seeing as im in epilogue2 I really wish I knew this sooner
its hard to get all the perfect pelts though, so its not really something you can get that early. im in chapter 3 and still have two satchels left to craft. some of the pelts are just really hard to come by, so don't blame yourself for getting them so late in the game.
ericsbuds also HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET A PERFECT PELT IVE BEEN USING VARMINT BUT CAN NEVER GET A PERFECT. I’ve done headshots neck shots but nope always damaged
For health XP is better to use the bow early in the game, you don't have that many enemies and they're easier to kill. The same goes for stamina, you don't have to travel far and you can run to your destination, for Red Eye I recommend you to gather some money and buy premium cigars. For money, you can steal bounties or hunt animals; while hunting or gathering herbs you'll usually encounter enemy gangs which you can kill and loot.
If you are going the enemy gang route... Early game head up to Wallace Station (west of Valentine). From there head up Little Creek River until you find Watson's Cabin. Go in and shoot the old lady and loot the cabin. There is a trap door in the back to go downstairs and get yourself a semi-auto shotgun. Then go further up river to Hanging Hog Ranch. Lots of O'Driscolls for you to happily murder (gatling gun top of the barn, take it out) and there are a few rocks to your right as you ride up the road, you can sneak up to them and have a clear shot at most everyone in there. Leave the area after looting everyone, go to a fence or do whatever you do and return a few days later, O'Driscolls will be there again for you to murder and if you head back up to the cabin the old lady's four sons will be there, kill them and loot the cash box on their table for I think $100
Invest in fast travel. It will save hours of boring loitering around. Dont abuse it because you'll miss out on fun interactions (like robbery tips etc) but will save a lot of boring game time. Also build horse bonding. Once at max stamina will never be a problem as a simple tap of the left joystick every couple seconds will recover stamina more than you burn meaning hotse stamina is irrelevant.
Health from knock outs can be more practical if you equip a pistol or other firearm and press the melee button (either b or circle), as long as you aren't already in combat it should be a breeze. IF you are in combat there is a chance that your target will attempt to knock the gun from your hands.
Lmao I spent like 20mins casting a lure out, last try i notice a huge bluegill swimming next to the shore right by me I pulled out my pistol and shot it 😂😂
Fishing is EXTREMELY difficult actually. For bigger fish (not even talking about legendary). I just broke 10-12 lures, been working on this for 2 days. In fact my fingers are so sore im barely able to type this. Im trying to do everything as it says. I was once able to fish out a big 3 star fish. Ever since I cannot do it. Im not pulling on R, only barely went the line is escaping too fast, Im controlling with L left and right following the fish movement. I am pulling up when the fish it calm, with the L, then reeling in as fast as I can. When the fish is struggling, I stop reeling immediately and only control with L, with the occasional slight pull of R when the fish pulls too much line. The results are as follows, either my line snaps after a literal 10 min struggle, or the fish keeps gaining distance. I am at a loss. I love the fishing in this game, but its beyond frustrating at this point.
The only thing I've found to work is to puss L forward then all the way back as you feel in with R, then stop reeling, forward then back again, reeling as you pull back. It definitely makes it easier. Took me a while to find a video that actually showed how to do this, it won't be in one of these shitty listicle videos.
You can stack pelts on your horse so you don't have to have just one or one and a corpse. I didn't realize this until a second playthrough. And I've read that a good way to get your hair to grow quickly is to chug a hair tonic and take a couple of long rides in stagecoaches and your hair will grow much faster while you're on your journey.
Your hair doesn't really grow faster (at least not any faster than it would with the tonic anyway) it is just that the game takes your travel time into account and those coaches are slooooow
I learned about brushing while riding only recently by accident. That's weird though. I'll stick to brushing while standing thanks.😗 "There you go. Just sprinted a hunnerd miles, here's a quick neck rub!" -McGruber throws in the swamp- "Well, sh-" -alligator -
A cool horse "trick" is whenever your not moving, hold square and your horse will start trotting in place. Then hold X and you can strife left or right. Not sure if this is breed specific.
Waiting to epilog 1 to max out your cores or want to collect more things is sort of to late. That was the first thing I did was max out my cores and I'm on the satchels now. I have 3 left to craft but only one pelt each. Iguana, panther amd racoon and I have all of them except the kegends of the east. I'm on my first play through right now and a tip that would be handy in these videos as it is to late now Ik, even though new ppl are picking up the game like me. Is to get the buck trinket before starting the satchel hunts. As it helps with getting perfect pelts and the buck trinket is really easy to get. You just need to hunt the legendary buck and craft it at the fence with no other items needed to craft the buck trinket and instead of doing one satchel at a time which takes alot longer but instead when you're hunting deer get 7 of them and repeat for the other animals. This would been handy when I started going after my satchels. I thought of it after i crafted my 2nd. I got tired of going back to an area i was already at justbto get another deer I wrote down all the animals i needed and how many and just crossed them off as i finished. Which made the next 5 satchels quicker then the first two.
Just played the game a year or so my kids played it so I’d seen it. But this game is just as good as gta games. Now that my kids are grown I am enjoying these games. Who woulda thought. Learning all the little tips are very helpful.
2:15-2:49 It’s not weird actually. It’s pretty simple. When you kill an animal and leave it you haven’t killed it for a purpose or for a necessity meaning to sell or eat the meat off it. Hence killing without need or cause is usually how the morality works in the hunting aspect of rdr2. It’s actually well thought out. Cause they want you to get attached to Arthur Morgan so whatever bad deeds he does is mostly for a reason, mainly money and food. This doesn’t justify his actions but provides a desperation for the character and that he kills and steals and robs because he has to and not because he wants to. Thou this morality of Arthur is the perspective they have for the character and how they want you to also perceive him as. It uses this animal killing and leaving it to show a part of morality for the character.
EliasDanger wrong he said the gunsmith won't customise your gun if its not cleaned and added that the gunsmith can clean it for you for a small fee if you dont want to clean it yourself.
In The Heartlands I came across a shepherd on horseback. I used my lasso to grab a three-star sheep, and killed it when the prompt appeared, and no crime committed. I've also scared cows and bulls out of their pens and then killed them and I didn't get in trouble. Worth trying if you need the pelts and don't want to stir up trouble.
Rest for the horse and Arthur will recharge cores but if you don’t saturate the stamina cores you or the horse will still lose weight and could get sick
I think once Andy has had a really good chance to master the game same as he did with RDR1 and Mike/Jane have had a chance to finish it all out too (albeit, not master it) then we'll see Morgan Monday's...my guess is it will be the let's play series to start in the New Year? :)
I find it cheaper to clean my gun at the gun store than cleaning it myself. Of course, keep a few gun oil handy, buy most of it you can find while looting. So personally, not worth buying gun oil
It's funny how this is nearly 5 years old but still relevant 😂 👍🏼 11:16 it's worthy to mention. Yes, it's a bit of a rakit. It is actually a cheap way to clean your guns. Gun oil is $2 or 1.50 in stores . All gunsmiths charge 99 cents to clean weapons. And it's faster as each gun is cleaned instantaneously, scroll the list, and keep em clean
It's old knowledge know, but a few more tips to help players out: For guaranteed perfect pelts, study your hunting targets until you find a best quality (3 Star) target. Then, if it is something on the smaller side like a deer, pronghorn, or wild hog; capture them with your lasso. Then, pull in your lasso to get close to them, once you are in range, you will get a button prompt to kill them animal. You will then pull out your knife and take the animal down with a swift stab to the throat, guaranteeing an undamaged perfect pelt. For best results, pair this item with the Buck Horn trinket (if I am remembering correctly) with increases the quality of your harvested hides/pelts. For example, a 2 Star animal can still net you a 3 Star quality perfect pelt. Just note that some animals are still too large for you to use your lasso on. There is a neat little tip/trick to cut down how often your horse careens into obstacles while you are riding them. A lot of times, I see players riding full speed on their horses, only to run headfirst into a tree or get catapulted over a rock. There is a little trick to avoid this from happening. Whenever you are approaching obstacles such as trees or rocks, stop tapping the sprint/run button for your horse. Your horse may slow down only slightly, but simply surrender control to your horse and it will actively avoid obstacles. If you are coming up towards a cluster of trees or rocks, simply stop tapping the sprint button and don't actively try to steer your horse around them and your horse will almost always avoid them on their own. Help strangers in random events. With the game world full of exciting things to happen, you will sooner or later run into some stranger on the trail in need of assistance. Be it an individual who ate some toxic plants, or some guy who asks you to help him with a snakebite. Don't just pass them by. Help these strangers out if you can. Not only will this help increase your honor (if you are going for a high honor run) but doing so can reward you with other items. Next time you happen to mosey on into town, you may happen to come across that stranger you helped sitting outside of one of the local shops. Unable to thank you enough for the kindness you showed them, they will often tell you to pop into the store they are sitting outside of and to grab whatever you want and they will cover the tab. This can include getting food and medicine from the general store or even guns and ammo from the gun stores. Yes, you can actually get some of the more pricey weapons in the gun stores for free through these means.
If you have a perfect big pelt on the back of your horse, and see another large perfect animal that you want to deliver to the trapper, mount your horse and lasso the dead animal without skinning. You can then drag the animal to the trapper and it will not damage the pelt.
that's awesome thanks
That I didn't realize. Very nice tip
"10 perfect rat pelts for one hat? Heck, let's just find one big rat and save ourselves the trouble." (Glares at Micah)

The run down saloon in saint denis has 2 encounters. I got 18 perfect rats. Small game arrows. Btw the vermin rifle wont work. It signals disturbing the peace.
Use poison arrows for predators. They run off and die slowly but if they are perfect pelts and you hit them in the head they stay perfect, just hit them one time with the poison arrow.
U can also one shot kill them with an improved arrow n that way u don’t have to follow it
Something super useful IMO is to study the animals, either with binoculars or just being next to them, so that you learn the best way to kill them and gather a pelt in perfect condition.
There is a requirement for one of the awards to track animals w the binoculars so you can kill 2 birds w one stone too.
That’s some good advice
"Skid stops on horses are cool" *shows clip of him running a guy over and tripping on a rock*
To be fair though, he did a skid.
A good tip is have your main horse and find a random horse (steal or tame a wild) bond to level one. while on your main horse whistle for your now temporary horse and it will follow. Useful for stowing big hides. Hope this helps.
I've seen npc's do this as well.

If you have your main holster revolver out oud push L1 twice, you do a gun spin while putting it away.

Jules used logic, it's super effective
I had thought about the long bbl/short bbl thing before, "in Real Life situations", but didn't realize the game actually recognized that.
Damn, thanks! Long-barreled cattleman is my go-to - I'll switch it to my offhand holster!
But without the barrel length you can’t fully upgrade your gun

Some less obvious tips.
1.) Clicking L3 while on your horse does more than calm it from agitation. Spacing your clicks every 12 to 15 seconds of consistent riding will recover a portion of your horses stamina, useful for races or long treks. If you have the thumb strength, just hold the stick down and your horses stamina will regenerate automatically every 12 seconds (pair this with a beaver saddle and high quality stirrups and cinematic mode for infinite riding).

You have a good chance of attracting your target.
4.) Are you tired of having worn weapons in your inventory? The only way to remedy this is to replace it with its high quality counter part. The game lets you own one of each( 2 of each for hand-held) non throwable weapon. If you have a worn Lancaster, you can wait until you find a good one in the world or just buy a replacement in the shop. Sorry, that's the only way.
5.) Just a for fun tip now. You may have heard by now but double tapping L1 performs a flourish before a gun is holstered.
When you have worn weapons, don't replace them. Worn weapons are the game's way of telling you "Ok, this weapon is outdated, get an upgrade."
i just want to remember these tips, thank you so much for the help
Fishing tip, dont just pull back. Go forth n back n increases catch time significantly if you can do it.
Was just about to post this, glad someone did. Its not just about pulling down on the stick. Forward then down over n over literally drags the fish out of the water. Its twice as fast as reeling it in.
Something I always found incredibly helpful and wish somebody had told me was w the legendary animals, just use your sawed off shotgun. 1 shot to the head and it’s done, perfect pelt. Easy and quick.
Seeing how he handled the ambush at the beginning of the video, I knew right away it wouldn't be teaching me anything...
Lmao
Hahaha lol youre mean xD
HorTyS aren’t you cool
Lol FOR REAL I paused it and came to the comments for some actual useful tips😂
Get a life
Side tip on the gunsmith tip. If you let him clean the gun for you, the gun condition degrades much slower than if you cleaned it. Same goes for hair pomade. If you let the barber apply it on you, it last 5 days compared to the 3 when you put it on
For no.2, you do not need to go in and kill all the animals and have a bounty on your head. Do it safely by go into the paddock with your horse and lead them outside. Use your binocular or just aim your gun at each one of the animals to find the perfect skin. Than lead them away at a safe distance and kill it for skin/meat. Repeat the same process as needed elsewhere. Good luck :)
Literally the least qualified person to say “rootin’ tootin’”. But great video.
another moron that can't use the word "literally" properly.
If you can stomach killing horses, you can often find gold nuggets in the bounty hunters saddlebags. I found 4 in one day.
Some constructive feedback, having the number for the tip over the the top of the player stats HUD on the bottom left makes it hard to actually see the benefits of some of the tips. Top right would be a better location for any overlays in future RD2 videos. But anyway, thanks for the tips, hope you appreciated mine.
Kill a Legendary animal, and you can have a fence make a trinket to slow down gun degrading.
Beaver Tooth Trinket - Legendary Beaver Tooth. Slows weapon degradation by 10 percent.
So you have to choose between selling to the fence or trapper?
@@24ozz No. You sell a tooth or a claw that the Legendary Animal drops with the skin. The skin you sell to the Trapper to make clothes, the claw/tooth/etc you sell to the fence to make trinkets.
You can buy a holster that does that at any gun store for about 50$
_laughs in raven claw talisman_
All degrade reductions stack. I think you can have up to 40% less
Switch your fishing controls from spinning the stick to just holding down square.. Itll make ur life so much easier
Life Hack #13: If you fall off your horse, get back on it.
😂👍
#6 It's faster even still to go down and up on the left stick. Down to get the pole closer to the fish and reel in the excess line, and up again to give the fish a nice pull towards you.
“Mornin miss macfarlane.”
After the first tip, I thought this was going to be a good video. Nope. Nearly every other "tip" is just an aspect of the game you come across playing, some even explicitly explained to the player.
For example, needing to have the gun cleaned before it can be customized by a gunsmith? Duh. Because when you try customizing your only option at first is to clean. That's hardly a "hack".
I'm really tired of these tip videos that all point out the same few things that everyone already knows.
Every time I go fishing it reminds me to push down on the left stick, so why would I need this Euro fool to tell me the same thing?
dude i just saw your avatar change
@@matthewgrossman568 you come here expecting good tips that's why you watch it in the first place, buckaroo
From what I’ve seen in multiple videos most players don’t know you can brush your horse while still mounted and for me I knew in my very first gameplay in the beginning.
Me too I was like “hey he is on the horse he should be able to feed and brush it”
With the fishing part, i found it super helpful to move your left joystick up and down while reeling in. That way, the fish is pulled closer and closer every time your left joystick goes down. You have to try it to get what i'm trying to say 😂 it's pretty hard with my little hands but it reels in the fish way quicker
Yep. You're exactly right. I fish a lot in the game to relax and have fished salmon for 3 game days and nights, selling the Salmon for $767.00. I'm quite sure salmon are the most valuable fish in the game. You have to find the right places to fish though.
Just pull it back let go then pull back again. Quicker than going all the way up
I also cast as close to where I’m standing as well. That way one or two pull backs and they’re auto caught
My life: GET THE COMPANION APP! It's a more immersive/convenient experience. I remove the mini map on the game, kill the lights in the room, keep phone/tablet on the charger (most important step since the app will kill your phone in an hr), prop it up or put it on a stand, and hit the map. From there you can change it to Arther's mini map. PLUS, while you're traveling far in cinematic mode, you can see in the app how close you are to your destination without stopping.
yeah, more immersive, because they had cell phone apps in the old west. Fuckin' dolt
The app isn't available on Android :c
Don't know if anybody else has done this but for hair and beard growth, while I'm on the horse I keep patting the horse then open the satchel quick and drink a few hair tonics then go into the stable and come back out and Arthur's/John's hair and beard has grown lol And for perfect pelts I kill the animal if it has 1 or 2 stars and leave it lying for a wee while and hang around the area, keep checking the animal and if the stars for the animals condition has disappeared then I skin it and it usually gives me a perfect pelt.
I always keep my honor at lvl 6, like you get shop discounts and unlock cool stuff, and its cool to be honorable
First time coming here. The commentary alone made me subscribe. Bloody brilliant. I'm with cha...
I think leaving your horse somewhere that it can graze it should reset its hunger.
If you use your lasso before killing an animal, and walk towards it while it’s lassoed, you can kill it (perfect pelt everytime) (I think animal specific, only tried on deer and pigs)
Ok the satchel upgrades are really big..bought all of them 4 slots of each item(I used rum) up to 99 slots!!! Ill never run out of deadeye again.. But seeing as im in epilogue2 I really wish I knew this sooner
Lord Pheonix i didnt figure this shit out till this video and im already playing as john lmao
@@jeambeam3173 same..also spoilers! Lol
its hard to get all the perfect pelts though, so its not really something you can get that early. im in chapter 3 and still have two satchels left to craft. some of the pelts are just really hard to come by, so don't blame yourself for getting them so late in the game.
I’m in chapter 3 but was wondering do the satchels effects stack? Or is it like one satchel for one benefit and you change if you want another benefit
ericsbuds also HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET A PERFECT PELT IVE BEEN USING VARMINT BUT CAN NEVER GET A PERFECT. I’ve done headshots neck shots but nope always damaged
3:58 - *fun fact, 40 winks is 10 - 12 seconds.*
I don’t know I thought it was fun 😅
There are trinkets you can craft at the fence to slow weapon degradation
For health XP is better to use the bow early in the game, you don't have that many enemies and they're easier to kill. The same goes for stamina, you don't have to travel far and you can run to your destination, for Red Eye I recommend you to gather some money and buy premium cigars. For money, you can steal bounties or hunt animals; while hunting or gathering herbs you'll usually encounter enemy gangs which you can kill and loot.
If you are going the enemy gang route...
Early game head up to Wallace Station (west of Valentine). From there head up Little Creek River until you find Watson's Cabin. Go in and shoot the old lady and loot the cabin. There is a trap door in the back to go downstairs and get yourself a semi-auto shotgun.
Then go further up river to Hanging Hog Ranch. Lots of O'Driscolls for you to happily murder (gatling gun top of the barn, take it out) and there are a few rocks to your right as you ride up the road, you can sneak up to them and have a clear shot at most everyone in there.
Leave the area after looting everyone, go to a fence or do whatever you do and return a few days later, O'Driscolls will be there again for you to murder and if you head back up to the cabin the old lady's four sons will be there, kill them and loot the cash box on their table for I think $100
Invest in fast travel. It will save hours of boring loitering around. Dont abuse it because you'll miss out on fun interactions (like robbery tips etc) but will save a lot of boring game time.
Also build horse bonding. Once at max stamina will never be a problem as a simple tap of the left joystick every couple seconds will recover stamina more than you burn meaning hotse stamina is irrelevant.
5:14 hey do you touch your horse often?
4:26 You can feed your horse while riding it just by selecting a food in the horse menu
“Excuse me partner, I just have to skin your sheep 🐑 no problem at all” 2:42
Why does no one mention that seasoned big game meat gives you solid gold cores.
Health from knock outs can be more practical if you equip a pistol or other firearm and press the melee button (either b or circle), as long as you aren't already in combat it should be a breeze. IF you are in combat there is a chance that your target will attempt to knock the gun from your hands.
Lmao I spent like 20mins casting a lure out, last try i notice a huge bluegill swimming next to the shore right by me I pulled out my pistol and shot it 😂😂
Does dynamite work? Lol
son hahahaha possibly just gotta find the sweet spot lol
@@ripvanwinkle9935 it does and you lose honor
Fishing is EXTREMELY difficult actually. For bigger fish (not even talking about legendary). I just broke 10-12 lures, been working on this for 2 days.
In fact my fingers are so sore im barely able to type this.
Im trying to do everything as it says. I was once able to fish out a big 3 star fish. Ever since I cannot do it.
Im not pulling on R, only barely went the line is escaping too fast, Im controlling with L left and right following the fish movement. I am pulling up when the fish it calm, with the L, then reeling in as fast as I can. When the fish is struggling, I stop reeling immediately and only control with L, with the occasional slight pull of R when the fish pulls too much line.
The results are as follows, either my line snaps after a literal 10 min struggle, or the fish keeps gaining distance.
I am at a loss. I love the fishing in this game, but its beyond frustrating at this point.
The only thing I've found to work is to puss L forward then all the way back as you feel in with R, then stop reeling, forward then back again, reeling as you pull back.
It definitely makes it easier. Took me a while to find a video that actually showed how to do this, it won't be in one of these shitty listicle videos.
That satchel is a pain in the ass to get expecially when you 30% in the game LOL
But very, very, very much worth it!
You can stack pelts on your horse so you don't have to have just one or one and a corpse. I didn't realize this until a second playthrough. And I've read that a good way to get your hair to grow quickly is to chug a hair tonic and take a couple of long rides in stagecoaches and your hair will grow much faster while you're on your journey.
Your hair doesn't really grow faster (at least not any faster than it would with the tonic anyway) it is just that the game takes your travel time into account and those coaches are slooooow
you forgot drinking guarma rum and then chewing tobacco immediately after to get infinite ammo!
What
@@joshuawright4198 entering dead eye when you're low on ammo restocks it
Eat Canned Salmon and drink Snake Oil. You don't damage your cores that way.
“…nothing stopping you from acting like an absolute bastard” 😂😂😂 spat my drink out hearing that
I learned about brushing while riding only recently by accident.
That's weird though. I'll stick to brushing while standing thanks.😗
"There you go. Just sprinted a hunnerd miles, here's a quick neck rub!"
-McGruber throws in the swamp-
"Well, sh-"
-alligator -
It seems brushing while riding doesn't clean the horse as well.
A cool horse "trick" is whenever your not moving, hold square and your horse will start trotting in place. Then hold X and you can strife left or right. Not sure if this is breed specific.
This can be done after achieving level 4 bond with your horse
Feed my boah some saint d. Fine saloon food , his health core is always red with you
One thing there’s a fast travel system in place it tooooook me years to realize and I’m sure there are others that don’t
I’ve noticed that constantly storing animal pelts on your horse will make it dirty & need to be brushed more so than usual.
You can put animals and skins in wagons, if you can find a way to get into the back. Hay bales work great.
Using a bow also increases health

Waiting to epilog 1 to max out your cores or want to collect more things is sort of to late. That was the first thing I did was max out my cores and I'm on the satchels now. I have 3 left to craft but only one pelt each. Iguana, panther amd racoon and I have all of them except the kegends of the east. I'm on my first play through right now and a tip that would be handy in these videos as it is to late now Ik, even though new ppl are picking up the game like me. Is to get the buck trinket before starting the satchel hunts. As it helps with getting perfect pelts and the buck trinket is really easy to get. You just need to hunt the legendary buck and craft it at the fence with no other items needed to craft the buck trinket and instead of doing one satchel at a time which takes alot longer but instead when you're hunting deer get 7 of them and repeat for the other animals. This would been handy when I started going after my satchels. I thought of it after i crafted my 2nd. I got tired of going back to an area i was already at justbto get another deer I wrote down all the animals i needed and how many and just crossed them off as i finished. Which made the next 5 satchels quicker then the first two.
There a tree with beer bottles tied on it located North of Gill Landing’s house. I shot all the bottles and one of them had a gold nugget inside.
$25 tip. Thank you
9:00 greaaaaat more Charlie work xD
I don't understand number 8. What exactly can I buy to make the satchels and where?
"life hacks" for a game? duuuuude
rdr2 is life dude
for those who have no life
Jim A so people like you
RDR is life RDR is love
Just played the game a year or so my kids played it so I’d seen it. But this game is just as good as gta games. Now that my kids are grown I am enjoying these games. Who woulda thought. Learning all the little tips are very helpful.
2:15-2:49 It’s not weird actually. It’s pretty simple. When you kill an animal and leave it you haven’t killed it for a purpose or for a necessity meaning to sell or eat the meat off it. Hence killing without need or cause is usually how the morality works in the hunting aspect of rdr2.
It’s actually well thought out. Cause they want you to get attached to Arthur Morgan so whatever bad deeds he does is mostly for a reason, mainly money and food.
This doesn’t justify his actions but provides a desperation for the character and that he kills and steals and robs because he has to and not because he wants to.
Thou this morality of Arthur is the perspective they have for the character and how they want you to also perceive him as.
It uses this animal killing and leaving it to show a part of morality for the character.
Reason I disliked and didn’t sub: you tried to pass off gunsmith must clean weapon before you customize as a tip
thats not a tip!
Marcus Knak exactly!
Every thing in this is a tip if you played less than 10 min of the game rest is common sence if you played for atleast an hour big disslike from me
Lol... To be honest I thought that customization would be unlocked on a later mission. Went a while without customizing anything 😂
EliasDanger wrong he said the gunsmith won't customise your gun if its not cleaned and added that the gunsmith can clean it for you for a small fee if you dont want to clean it yourself.
I love the first quote
03:20 Explosive Rifle Ammo one shots all legendary animals FYI.
Thank you! Good to know
In The Heartlands I came across a shepherd on horseback. I used my lasso to grab a three-star sheep, and killed it when the prompt appeared, and no crime committed. I've also scared cows and bulls out of their pens and then killed them and I didn't get in trouble. Worth trying if you need the pelts and don't want to stir up trouble.
14 winks = the loading time for the sleep load screen
Rest for the horse and Arthur will recharge cores but if you don’t saturate the stamina cores you or the horse will still lose weight and could get sick
I feel like Johnny and Jane from oxbox are in cahoots, the rootin’, tootin’, we love shootin’ pair!!
Andy heard that...
Nooooo! I hoped he’d be too busy creating his rdr2 online character
...Yup, so did Jane. You saw how well that worked out for her.
Speaking of oxbox, we need more D&d ya?
I think once Andy has had a really good chance to master the game same as he did with RDR1 and Mike/Jane have had a chance to finish it all out too (albeit, not master it) then we'll see Morgan Monday's...my guess is it will be the let's play series to start in the New Year? :)
10:30 😂😂😂
The whole outfit part of the video cracked me up
I actually really enjoy the hunting part
This game is so good
Leather wraps: over my dead body.
Easier way to catch bluegill is the ride your horse through shallow water and keep an eye on your mini map. Your horse will run one or two over.
I just got it cause it's the first time it went on sale
I love how some people are so into this game, that when they find a game bug they call it a life hack.
huh
They're hidden features or exploits
This seems like the perfect time to bring back the cooking show
I never heard anyone mention fast travel from anywhere or pressing square not to be jumped by predators.
I wonder how many bullets are in that legendary grizzly bear 🐻😂
Is it me or did it feel like everyone does the same thing to the legendary bear first rifle then pistol thinking we're not gonna have to work hard
I find it cheaper to clean my gun at the gun store than cleaning it myself. Of course, keep a few gun oil handy, buy most of it you can find while looting. So personally, not worth buying gun oil
::Rows a boat for hours to improve Arthur's health::
Arthur: ::dies of tuberculosis::
you don’t have to wait till epilogue to get a new satchel like he said in the vid
It's funny how this is nearly 5 years old but still relevant 😂 👍🏼 11:16 it's worthy to mention. Yes, it's a bit of a rakit. It is actually a cheap way to clean your guns. Gun oil is $2 or 1.50 in stores .
All gunsmiths charge 99 cents to clean weapons. And it's faster as each gun is cleaned instantaneously, scroll the list, and keep em clean
Literally ever time you fish the game tells you to pull up the rod..
It's old knowledge know, but a few more tips to help players out:
For guaranteed perfect pelts, study your hunting targets until you find a best quality (3 Star) target. Then, if it is something on the smaller side like a deer, pronghorn, or wild hog; capture them with your lasso. Then, pull in your lasso to get close to them, once you are in range, you will get a button prompt to kill them animal. You will then pull out your knife and take the animal down with a swift stab to the throat, guaranteeing an undamaged perfect pelt. For best results, pair this item with the Buck Horn trinket (if I am remembering correctly) with increases the quality of your harvested hides/pelts. For example, a 2 Star animal can still net you a 3 Star quality perfect pelt. Just note that some animals are still too large for you to use your lasso on.
There is a neat little tip/trick to cut down how often your horse careens into obstacles while you are riding them. A lot of times, I see players riding full speed on their horses, only to run headfirst into a tree or get catapulted over a rock. There is a little trick to avoid this from happening. Whenever you are approaching obstacles such as trees or rocks, stop tapping the sprint/run button for your horse. Your horse may slow down only slightly, but simply surrender control to your horse and it will actively avoid obstacles. If you are coming up towards a cluster of trees or rocks, simply stop tapping the sprint button and don't actively try to steer your horse around them and your horse will almost always avoid them on their own.
Help strangers in random events. With the game world full of exciting things to happen, you will sooner or later run into some stranger on the trail in need of assistance. Be it an individual who ate some toxic plants, or some guy who asks you to help him with a snakebite. Don't just pass them by. Help these strangers out if you can. Not only will this help increase your honor (if you are going for a high honor run) but doing so can reward you with other items. Next time you happen to mosey on into town, you may happen to come across that stranger you helped sitting outside of one of the local shops. Unable to thank you enough for the kindness you showed them, they will often tell you to pop into the store they are sitting outside of and to grab whatever you want and they will cover the tab. This can include getting food and medicine from the general store or even guns and ammo from the gun stores. Yes, you can actually get some of the more pricey weapons in the gun stores for free through these means.
Wow i played the whole part you play as arthur morgan now to find out you can change your satchel
Lmao
I wash my weapon every time its been in the "muddy hole".
Thank you! Great video
If you are running low on stamina for your horse then just slow down and it will slowly refill. Thats what i always do
Or use the "Mr Hands" perk. It will hurt your health but your horse will love it and feels much better after it.
Uhm, when a random NPC I previously helped in the wild offered me to get something from general store on their tabs, I always get an outfit.
there are two of them. one gets you an outfit. the one outside of valentine will let you get a gun.
Where is the analog stick located on my keyboard?
you have a nice voice. reminds me of adam blampied.
Great info...
Thanks man
