When the round begins, it’s a mad dash to the center of the map where nine supply bags await to be collected. At this point, you essentially have one of two options: post up from afar and pick off anyone who runs to the pile of supplies with your long-ranged weapon, or smash-and-grab your way to the loot before running back towards your base in a serpentining fashion so as to not be shot in the back. Both methods have their charm, as long as you’re honest with the type of player you are. Just make sure that you are using any of the Dead Eye Ability cards available to you and your team. If you are a confident sharpshooter, you’re probably better suited to provide support. If you’re less talented at shooting, well… hopefully, your stamina is maxed out. You’ll be running - a

Update: After further digging, it's been deduced that the Red Dead Redemption 2 's reported ambient occlusion visual downgrade is far from new -- in fact, the change has been active since Update 1.03 which rolled out late last year. Even still, reddeadwildland.Comit doesn't appear that an explicit downgrade to shadowing via ambient occlusion was noted in the Rockstar patch notes .

"I played all day and couldn't afford anything decent, " Jim Sterling, a known reviewer, said on his YouTube video . "I ended up spending a lot of the money I was earning on a tin of beans." Four months later, new problems have cropped up, despite the game's economy chugging away like an old-timey steam engine. And the newest update has left players frustra

New items are also coming to the online cowboy wasteland. The Rare Shotgun and the Evans Repeater will be added in as new weapons, while a wide array of new clothing and emote options will also be available. This is just enough to give your cowpoke the sort of roughneck makeover that they dese

The collaboration with Barking Irons specifically also makes sense, considering the clothing line has built its brand on "peculiar American stories" - which _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ is no stranger to - not to mention the fact that the ‘Barking Irons" name also extends into the world of alcohol with their bottle of 100-proof "Barking Irons Applejack," in which Arthur Morgan would no doubt happily indu

Let’s say you forego jumping into the fray. Maybe you’re more effective as a lone-wolf who is patient enough to wait out the initial chaos. Plunder’s maps are large enough to avoid confrontation while offering up plenty of crates, rocks, trees, and cliffs to use as cover before making your move. Skirting the invisible border is also a solid way to move (slowly) around the map en route to your rivals’ bases. However, keep in mind that players often respawn between the map’s border and their base, which could result in you getting caught while you’re sneaking around. Additionally, running out of bounds while carrying supplies, even for a split second, will result in the bag being reset in the center of the map (which happened to us more times than we would like to admit). If you’re patient, bases with only one or two delivered supplies remain relatively unguarded, allowing you to swoop in, steal the supplies, and run as fast as you can back to your own base, since your position on the map will be visible to everyone while holding the l

Rockstar announced the partnership with New York-based Barking Irons yesterday, which features a collection of western apparel and accessories that resemble the same nods to authenticity as the realistic elements found within _ Red Dead Redemption 2

Back when Reggie Fils-Amie denied rumors of a Switch port, he emphasized the fact that it hadn’t been shot down due to hardware restrictions —according to him, the Switch is more than capable of running the game. It was more an issue of the game having been under development far before the idea of the Switch was even being tossed around. What’s more, with rumors of Nintendo gearing up to release a VR add-on alongside a new and improved pro version of the console, it doesn’t seem like horsepower would necessarily keep RDR2 off of the sys

There will also be some new game modes added in. First are the Target Races, which sound kind of like a murderous cowboy version of Mario Kart . It pits players against one another in a horseback death race, with the goal being to make it to end while simultaneously shooting your fellow rac

These days, even setting foot in the sprawling hellscape of Red Dead Online leaves you open to attack, and with daily challenges rewarding players for their kills, players are more likely to be seen as a threat than an ally to posse up with. While there are measures in place to prevent abuse of the system, they come in the form of NPC bounty hunters that are easily dispatc

Finally, Rockstar has detailed some of the ways that it's looking to improve its online cowboy simulator. It has reduced player visibility on the world map in order to prevent players from being able to track someone down and blast them repeatedly. On top of that, if you make enough trouble, you'll appear as a dark coloured icon on the map, and you can expect bounty hunters to come calling. You can also attempt to "parley" with rival players and posses in order to call a truce, or end a feud in a death ma
