Drake Marston really is a POS. This game makes him look like a straight scum bag. I fukked up the valentine doc shop robbery badly. I didn’t realize you could blow the safe up with dynamite. No I can’t go to the back room again to complete it

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Here is a compiled list of some hidden tricks and controls for Red Dead Redemption 2 for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

This list was compiled by a lovely Reddit user of the name u/Cloud_Motion and some other reddit users! Hats off to them.

  • Holding start brings up the map straight away.
  • Holding circle/B in a menu/shop catalogue lets you exit straight away
  • Double tapping L1/LB lets you do a cool trick when you put away your gun
  • Holding R2/RT lightly allows you to draw into deadeye
  • Pressing up with a gun in your hand allows you to shoot into the air to scare predators away
  • Tapping left on the d-pad brings up a task list of requests, hunting challenges etc
  • Holding down lets you have quick-access to radar options (expanded, normal, compass, off)
  • Likewise, pressing down quickly brings up information on the screen if the map is off etc. Great for them full screen immersions!
  • If you press x/A in time with your horse's gallops, you won't use as much stamina, this apparently also works when Arthur is on foot
  • Waypoints can be enabled from the settings, I'm pretty sure they're disabled by default? Which is odd (Display settings)
  • Toggle to run in the settings lets you just tap x/A once to keep running (still have to tap to sprint) *If you keep x/A held whilst going into the cinematic camera view, you don't need to hold run anymore, and with a waypoint active, your horse will follow the route
  • Using the ledger in camp, after Dutch's tent has been upgraded (might be worth doing this early since more people begin to contribute), Arthur's tent can be upgraded to enable fast travel ($260)
  • The lasso is great and can be used for a multitude of things
  • You can lasso witnesses without losing honour/being caught
  • Lassoing large animals lets you keep them in place and get in close for a (albeit pretty brutal) knife kill without damaging the animal
  • Pressing down whilst in first person will enable iron sights
  • Crouching whilst crawling up a steep incline may help with grip and stop Arthur from falling over
  • If you steal a carriage, train etc. You can just whistle your horse and it will follow behind you
  • Holding triangle whilst on your horse will hitch up anywhere, even into the ground or a tree
  • Running into someone and pressing triangle will tackle them to the ground
  • Courtesy of u/phantomsignal "... if no one's mentioned this you can sell Legendary Buck Antlers for a trinket that improves the quality of pelt of animals you skin. Super helpful! I'm not 100% the mechanics of it, but looked like it would improve a pelt but one quality level. One good pelt would be perfect. The Legendary Buck is NW of strawberry next to an Indian Burial ground." (Fences sell the trinket, like the one in Saint Denis)
  • You can interact with mirrors by pressing L2+o (LT+B), thanks u/dj4y_94
  • "Check the chimneys", u/DavyJones317
  • You can hold square/X to continually loot things from cupboards etc. (thanks u/DoStuffAndStuff)
  • You can lasso animals that are dead in rivers and bring them towards you by holding R2/RT (u/Jinghy)
  • You can start a fist fight if you have a bounty and let the police arrest you by surrendering to have your bounty go away, but you will lose all your money (spend it first) (u/benedictxxii)
  • A dark red X after shooting someone means that their wound is fatal and they will die soon, usually accompanied by a very good animation (u/English_American)
  • You can equip a pocket watch from your satchel/buy one from the shop and access it from your inventory in the camera/binocular slot. Great for immersion!
  • Dynamite/Gunshots can be used on lockboxes to open them if you don't have a lockbreaker yet. Make sure to get rid of the horses first or they may run off (u/standingfierce)
  • Eagle eye can be used to locate items in the environment as well, like plants etc (u/longpantsman18)
  • "If anyone is trying to figure out the horse perks from bonding with your horse; RB + X from a stand still will rear your horse and it seems to get you into a gallop faster. Horse drifting is holding X while moving LT left or right and helps for dodging trees, rocks, or making wide turns. RB + A is great for stopping on a dime and making sharp turns. To get the drifting like the gameplay video, you actually dont need to drift with X. Get a little bit of speed going (tap A a couple times) and then use LT to spin in a circle. Your horse's back end will kick out like youre doing donuts and then choose a direction to peel out with your horse. No benefit really, but looks tight." (u/PsijicMonkey)
  • Not sure if anyone put this yet, but if you punch someone with the lasso equipped, you instantly hog tie them. (u/mattwisconsin)
  • You can hold triangle/Y to rest on the spot, if you're not on your horse and craft etc. This also raises stamina a bit
  • Left on dpad while ads switches shoulder aim.
  • Arthur grabs to most ledges. (Jumping rooftops in St Denise feels great.)
  • Full masks work better than the half bandana.
  • Running up to someone with a weapon and pressing RT/R2 activates a kill shot animation. Works with lasso to skip the throw. Works also after a tackle.
  • Activating dead eye when reloading skips animations. (u/OneManDrinkingGames)
  • Pressing square/X whilst aiming lets you dive and it's really cool (u/HighViscosityLuv)
  • Hold right next to the horse to see its cargo, this stuff also automatically appears in the shop menu as long as your horse is close
  • You can have an additional horse follow you around on your house for extra hunting storage (pelts/carcasses) just highlight a tamed horse and ask it to follow you (u/peg4sus)
  • This one might be obvious but don't be afraid to drop your guns in order to pick up new ones if you find them, your old guns can be retrieved from your saddle just like your hat. (u/bluebox_breaks)
  • I really like the fishing but if you don’t or you’re in a rush you can just shoot the fish. Haven’t tried it but I’m guessing dynamite probably works too. (u/KingOfTheHillBanana)
  • Hold X/A to continually craft ammunition at the campfire. It skips most of the animation (u/Greenmanssky) As a note, you can craft split points easily and they do more damage
  • You can fire from the hip by tapping R2 without holding L2, bit more inaccurate but useful in a bind and faster
  • You can carry multiple skins on the back of your horse (u/Pretty_Sharp)
  • You can recall your horse from a stable (u/TunnelVisions_3) also "If you end up in the middle of nowhere without your horse: save and reload it will be teleported near you." (u/algent)
  • "Wearing a mask is not always enough to hide your identity, if you're known in town people may be able to identify you from your clothing, your horse, or your custom weapons. Set up a "crime outfit" and don't wear it while you're out being a law-abiding citizen!" (u/standingfierce)
  • Press square/X for more customisation options
  • You can store multiple outfits on your horse and access them with L1 while near it
  • Sell all of your canned food supplies and instead cook and stow meat from your campfire. Venison and Beef give great benefits, it's easy to come by, and you won't clog up your satchel with a bunch of canned corn. (u/ChickerWings)
  • Throwing all the hair info out here, if anyone wants it. Everything is straight from strategy guide.
  • Hair tonic doubles growth rate, stackable (×4, x8)
  • Hair tonic lasts up to two stages of hair growth
  • You can only grow one increment at a time before needing a screen fade (sleeping, respawning, fast travel, cut scenes, etc.) Hair pomade applied by barber lasts 5 in game days (2 if done yourself)
  • Hair doesn't grow past stage 7, beard goes to 10
  • Beard stops growing without tonic at stage 6

Yeah I was riding through the swamp after parlaying with Black Belle and got ran up on by 4 of them zombie looking brehs. They all caught the pump action. :smugfavre:

But on my way to finesse Flaco some breh ambushes me and stole my highest level horse. Tossed my saddle a few miles away now I’m stuck at the lake with no ride back to civilization . :mjcry:

If that happens then just save the game and then load that save and the horse will be there again.

Turn off the HDR in the game and it should look sharp. If you are on PS4 Pro...

Man the detail in this game is astonishing. I'm up in Annesburg and I just walked past this mini lake thing near one of the factories and you can see fukking petrol/polution in the water :whoo::ohhh:

Yeah that was crazy. And the smog and polution in the air and sky when you ride into that city/town
