Updated February 1, 2025, by Stephanie Harris: Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to attract audiences 6 years after its initial release, with the franchise remaining one of the most iconic in the world. Late last year, the original Red Dead Redemption was released on PC for the first time, ultimately drawing more players into the immersive Western-style world. This article highlights some of the NPC encounters players can enjoy in the Armadillo area, which, while subtle, add depth and intrigue to the already fascinating g
Chapter 2 of Red Dead Redemption 2 updates Dead Redemption 2 culminates with the gang being chased out of Valentine following a dispute with the railroad tycoon, Leviticus Cornwall, who is angry about the recent string of train robberies they’re responsible for. Arthur and the crew set up a waterside camp in the Clemens Cove area, near the town of Rhodes. The plantation town is caught up in a feud between two wealthy families, the Grays and the Braithwaites , which the Van der Linde gang also gets involved in. Chapter 3 of RDR2 gives players a taste of everything, including stellar dialogue, in-depth character development, world-building, and heart-pumping missi
Upon entering Armadillo, the player may encounter a standoff between the town’s sheriff and the Del Lobo gang, trying to get an outlaw out of jail. The player can intervene, and the sheriff will thank John for his hero
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
**Red Dead Redemption 2 ** has its fair share of train robberies amongst its many bank heists and other various jobs. Maybe it’s because train robberies are a staple of the old west that they’re used so often, but nevertheless RDR2 makes each train robbery feel different and keeps them spread apart enough so that the player can enjoy their time with the mission instead of it feeling like it’s the same mission repeatedly. If there’s ever a RDR3 , Rockstar can always up the ante and improve upon the train robberies to add an even better vari
The world found in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a gorgeous one indeed. However, some people have been critical towards the map, often pointing out the long slogs between locations, the general emptiness and barrenness, and lack of things to “
The Undead Nightmare DLC has been hugely popular with Red Dead fans – and this mission is a nod to the zombie movies that inspired it. When filmmaker D.S. MacKenna has the mighty brainwave to make a movie about “flesh-eating monsters,” John can’t help but ask: “What kind of sick person would like th
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
What seems like it’s going to be just-another-brawl turns out to be the best night you’ll have in your whole Red Dead experience. From bar fights to line dancing to deep conversations about life and love, it’s one of the warmest, funniest scenes you’ll play in a video g
Arthur and Dutch are even made deputies of the local law enforcement, but it turns out to be an elaborate bait set by the Grays. The gang is ambushed, which ends in the death of Sean MacGuire, and Jack Marston (John’s son) is kidnapped by the Braithwaites and taken hostage. Both families are outgunned by the Van der Lindes when the dust settles, but this violent outbreak forces the crew out of t
Like most of the strangers across the Red Dead world, Professor Marko Dragic is something of an eccentric. What starts as an innocent mission on a boating lake becomes something much darker when Dragic goes all Frankenstein and harnesses the power of electricity to create his very own bionic
The next least violent train robbery involves the surprisingly smart and levelheaded plan of John Marston , who players will get to see grow throughout Red Dead Redemption 2 after he recovers from the wolf attack. The gang needs more money, and John thinks he’s discovered an easy way to do it. Arthur, John, Sean, and Charles head out to block the tracks with a recently acquired oil drum cart. With the conductor coming to a full stop – as to not blow up – the gang proceeds to enter the train and threaten the passengers to put their belongings into a
With Dutch van der Linde at the helm , there’s always another job, another bank, and ” always a goddamn train, ” as Arthur puts it during the final train robbery. Throughout the course of Red Dead Redemption 2’s story, there are multiple times in which the gang has to rob a train. While all of them erupt in a fit of violence between the gang and one of their adversaries, be it the hands of the law, the O’Driscolls, or Cornwall’s men, some robberies are a bit tamer than the oth
