r/RDR2

Is there a purpose for the ability to point straight up at the air and shoot or does it just look cool?

Found out today the Farmer's Hat is not only on a single NPC in Strawberry, but can spawn on the head of one of the rustlers already at Uncle's mission!

Hello all! This is super niche but thought I’d ask anyways. I just finished watching Mr. Moon’s “Armadillo Trail” YouTube VOD. I’ve found a few other characters in the series have perspectives on YouTube, but was wondering if anyone knew where I could watch ClassPax’s (Mr. Brown) perspective.

Anyone have any insight? Thanks!

Ps. If you haven’t watched it it’s pretty entertaining 😂

I swear, before I ever played RDR and RDR2 I played a lot of Tears Of The Kingdom and Pokémon, and if you know anything about those games, they have minimal to no voice acting. You have to read every single line of dialogue yourself and sometimes they just keep talking. And to add salt to the wound, i'm a guy who likes to explore all possible interactions and dialogue combinations so it takes a looooooooong time for me and it's really tedious (i know that part is a me thing but ya know what I mean).

But, in Red Dead Redemption (2), being able to hear the voices, not having to read all of it is amazing to me. Every voice has their own quirk and tone and style and volume and personality and so on!

The only things I have to read are the in-game books and pamphlets you sometimes get but I enjoy those.

Idk if anyone else had this but I just love it so much.

I found a O'Driscoll camp with 4-6 guys in it in the middle of no where. So I run up take them out loot etc. I see they had a fish, a salmon strung on some wood hanging down. I cut it to pick it up then heard the ding with the red honour symbol indicating I lost some.

So I thought to myself, taking out 4-6 guys is ok, looting an entire camp is okay but cutting down there fish to take it is one step to far? Lol.

Who knows if this is even real, but personally, I’ve found that when I’m hunting for literally anything that DOESN’T require the Varmint Rifle (deer, ram, elk, bear, etc), having the Varmint Rifle equipped and in Arthur’s hands increase the likeliness of an animal spawn.

To give an example, I was searching for 3 IRL days (3-4 hours each day) for 3-star bucks for the trapper. Always on foot, different locations in the map, crouched, cover scent, the whole nine yards, but I always had a Springfield Rifle on the shoulder, and a bow on the back. Found nothing. As soon as I started walking around with the Varmint Rifle in hand instead of the bow, 3-star bucks were everywhere. I’d just switch to the Springfield when I found them.

I really do think the game takes into account your location AND your weapon loadout and changes spawn rates. I SWEAR that having the Varmint Rifle in hand at least HELPS trick the game a little. Like I said, could be totally in my head, but in my experience it’s helped a lot.

Has anyone else noticed/experienced this?
