For a little more excitement during gunfire battles and other fights, PED Damage Overhaul is the one to choose. This mod alters the behavior of NPCs to make them more realistic. They will stumble if their leg is injured, roll around in agony after being hurt, and clutching any open wou

The story of a freed slave turned bounty hunter also features gorgeous landscape shots of the American South, and a soundtrack with the likes of Jim Croce, 2 Pac and more, reminding those who played Red Dead of the serene moments where great songs accompanied the most dramatic moments of the g

Players may well think that Webber is a humanoid spider; he certainly looks like one, but his form is more complicated than that. He is, in fact, a child living inside a spider that tried to consume him. How horrible is that? You wouldn’t guess it from the spider silk beard he grows. Does that mean it’s his or the spid

Known provocateur Sam Peckinpah was a master of the western genre. His revisionist epic, The Wild Bunch , was a violent tale of bad men doing bad things in an even worse world. Red Dead Redemption II’s similar story about the death of the outlaw age and the birth of modern civilization fits perfectly with Peckinpah's f

If building bases and sticking to them is your area of expertise, then look no further than Wickerbottom. Her ability to craft Books is something you'll need to gather and dedicate resources for, and where better to do that than in a carefully-curated base? Reading those books is worth it, too, as they can grant you a range of useful effects (from the sudden growth of plants around you to 16 lightning strikes randomly dispersed near your locati

A huge aspect of Red Dead Redemption II is how brutal the harsh elements can be. Players face conditions like freezing snow and can even be mauled by the likes of bears, wolves and mountain lions. Alejandro González Iñárritu’ s 2015 epic, The Revenant is about how harsh these elements can be, combined with how awful and dastardly people can

This is no more apparent than the first time players encounter a beast like Krampus. Some monsters are mammoth, hard to fight, and bent on destruction. Even the most fortified of bases can fall to these mighty (and random) monsters. It's always better to have a couple of bases (with easy and fast access via a road) to ensure players have a place to escape should thing suddenly go sidew

Don't worry about making fire after fire or multiple Science Machines around the world as night falls at the end of each day. You'll find plenty more gold and wood to create another one once you find the perfect spot for your base. Plus, they can be helpful to return to if you're out exploring and find yourself in a pi

Jim Jarmusch is the coolest working director living today, with everything he touches oozing something unique and almost otherworldly. Dead Man was his first western and it is unlike anything in the genre. Starring Johnny Depp as an accountant who ends up in a dangerous town, the film is shot in monochrome and features some respectful portrayals of Native Americans, a rarity for most weste

Michael Cimino’s 1980 epic western about a war between land barons and European immigrants in Wyoming was a notorious bomb. It was edited to shreds and released to negative reviews and not only ended his career but changed the way Hollywood made fi

Hardy and ready for battle, Wolfgang has an ability called Mighty Form, in which his damage, movement speed, and Health increase while his Hunger is above 220. Though his Hunger does drop at three times the norm during Mighty Form, it’s a pretty useful ability to have if you prefer rushing into battle or Fortnite Mortal Kombat crossover need to take out hordes of Spid

Willow doesn’t just have a burning desire to survive; she has a desire to burn everything . Her obsession with fire allows her to be immune to fire damage, and the lighter she carries is exclusive to her. But she used to have an extra ability: she would light fires at her feet the moment she was in complete darkness. Not only was this useful to see where you’re going, but it would also make Willow invulnerable to attacks from the Darkness at night. Since the Strange New Powers update, she no longer has that ability. At least she has her trusty ligh

Wilson is the first character to be given a backstory through a cutscene. In the trailer for the game, we see Wilson as a defeated scientist with failed experiments, lacking inspiration. A mysterious voice compels him to build a huge machine, filling him with great knowledge. Once the machine is finished, he hesitates, but the voice aggressively commands him to pull the lever and activate it. With a fitting evil laugh, shadowy arms appear through the floor and drag Wilson to the world of Don’t Starve . Poor guy. We also see Maxwell laughing above, proving him to be the antagonist of the g

Woodie is one of two characters that can change their form; if he chops down too many trees too quickly, or if the moon is full, he will become a "Werebeaver." But this form is more useful than you might think. The sanity, health, and hunger meters disappear when Woodie is in his Werebeaver form, meaning that effectively if he were to stay in that form, he could survive indefinitely. He wouldn’t even need food or items to help heal him — he could simply live forever. But beware, the "naughtiness" score still applies and Krampus can still come after
