While the main missions contain plenty of comic moments - both Arthur and John have quickfire wit - it’s the 'Stranger' missions and side quests that contain the funniest, most bizarre stories. All the funniest video game missions have a little darkness behind them - and Red Dead pulls them off perfec
Van Horn is easily one of the most unique locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 , even if spending time in it makes one feel dirty. Amongst all the towns, villages, and cities in Red Dead 2 , Van Horn is arguably the most decre
Granger’s tricky, but Arthur’s trickier. A sleight-of-hand trick with a stick of dynamite causes the manure wagon to explode, covering Granger in pig excrement. Arthur never gets his Boy Calloway stories, but he gets the better of Emmet Gran
Valentine is the first town players come across in Red Dead Redemption 2 (provided they don't go wandering). It's a small town without much to do, composed of little more than a train station, a farm, and a lined street with a saloon, police station, general store, hotel, and weapons st
John Marston is a beloved character, and this game sidelined him to supporting status in favor of newcomer Arthur Morgan. Luckily, Arthur proved a sympathetic and endlessly enjoyable protagonist, and the game was immediately deemed a worthy succes
As Arthur explicitly states, "We got lawmen in three different states after us." The specific crimes aren't known, but this is paramount to the FBI hunting down a gang of modern-day criminals. The gang members are charismatic, but they are not good peo
Though Red Dead Redemption 2 's map is largely similar to the map from the original game , Red Dead Redemption , it isn't unlocked for the player until the game's epilogue. Fans of the original Red Dead Redemption may then be eager to travel down to the town of Armadillo, a simple town emblematic of the era of classic weste
Just north of Tumbleweed, John can choose to discover a small house that sits in the distance. Unfortunately for the player, this house cannot be explored. If the player gets too close to the house, it will unexpectedly explode without any rea
Southwest of Hennigan's Stead in New Austin , the player can find a man known as the "tree hermit" living in a cabin-like treehouse . If John gets too close to the man's home, he will shout at the player to go a
The entire town is in complete disrepair, complete with crumbling buildings , collapsing docks, and even a sunken boat just resting in the water. The site is also quite unique in that its citizens serve as the local police force, shooting anyone (like the player) who makes trou
Red Dead Redemption 2 Online Dead Redemption 2 is a modern masterpiece of gaming, led by an incredible protagonist in Arthur Morgan. Fans were a little skeptical of a new character, as John Marston is such a gaming icon and a major reason for the success of the first game. But Arthur instantly won over players with his sense of humor, charming personality, and pitiful f
But this is a Rockstar game, and Rockstar games aren't known for having morally sound protagonists. Depending on how he's played, Arthur Morgan can be downright unlikable, as is evident through these horrifying li
Sheriff Freeman asks what crime the man committed; upon hearing that it was a stagecoach robbery, Freeman will shoot the gang member. If the player gets too close to the scene, Freeman will warn John to back off. John can also free the gang member before he's killed, causing a loss of ho
Arthur is nothing if not self-aware. During the "bad" ending (the ending received if a player has low honor), Micah will damn Arthur before executing him. However, Arthur gets the last word in, yelling, "Damn us both!" right before he is kil
Charles Kinnear is convinced he can create wings that will allow him to launch himself off a cliff and land safely on the ground. Obviously, he can’t - but helping him collect the items he needs to build his wings is worth it to watch the l
Like Van Horn, Rhodes is another town that time has passed by. But unlike Van Horn, Rhodes still has some semblance of civility and cleanliness. Rhodes stands out from other towns of the game owing to its dusty red streets, lending it a very memorable atmosphere and physical
It’s a good question - but everyone knows the answer. And John’s happy enough to source actors for MacKenna’s movie, so maybe he, too, thinks it’s kind of a cool idea. Either way, MacKenna gets pretty much what he deserves at the end of this miss
The man is a stalker, who has watched this widow from afar. His tent site is filled with photographs and drawings of women in the nude, perhaps even without their knowledge. The perverted man is a stalker, and the victim he lusts for seems to be Charlotte Balfour, the widow at Willard’s Rest in Roanoke Ridge who Arthur helped teach to hunt and survive in the w
