How to Play Red Dead Redemption
Intro
Available for PS4 and Xbox One, Red Dead Redemption is an exciting battle play between gangs mounted on horses, equipped with weapons. The story unfolds gradually with the downfall of the famed Dutch Van der Linde gang. Below I will discuss a few tips and tricks to play this exciting game, which will enable you to lead your way to the top and win cool rewards.
Use Cinematic Mode
A good idea is to establish a waypoint for an easy & quick commute by entering the cinematic mode as you guide your horse on the journey ahead. This eliminates the need to sit there waiting to press a button or maneuver your way to progress further in Red Dead Redemption.
Strangers Are Helpful
As you move in the game, you will notice people around the town, or strangers who come toward you in a salon offering to return the favor of you having helped them earlier at some point. These people will help you move up levels because they will be resourceful later. Be sure to help such strangers during the gameplay. You can rely on their support if needed.
Cheat Codes & Deadeye Meter
To fill up your Deadeye Meter, a good hack is to pick up activities and chores you can do around the town or camp area. This will give you a quick and comfortable refill. Red Dead Redemption also has a plethora of cheat codes hidden throughout the gameplay but keep in mind that you will not be able to unlock new trophies, rewards & achievements or even save the game if you are playing with an active cheat code.
Stamina, Health & Deadeye Bars
You'll notice three meters (along with circles) above the minimap that indicate your stamina meter represented by a lightning bolt, a health bar reflected by the heart and the Deadeye meter depicted by the 'eye'. Make sure you keep them full during the game and keep an eye on the bar’s levels, usually indicated by a line running around each circle. Moreover, there is a meter in the middle of the circle, which you can use to find out how long it will take to recharge your stamina, deadeye or health. Use your inventory that stores herbs, tonics and food supplies to fill up these bars. Hold the left bumper and press the right bumper to open your inventory.
Other Useful Tips
- • Use the bandana in your item wheel to go incognito when committing crimes or pulling a heist.
- • Use weapons like bows, pistols, rifles, and shotguns to shoot at your enemies and move up levels
- • You cannot unlock the full map in the beginning. You will unlock each stage by filling in the blank spots as you complete different missions through the game.
- • Go for a Stranger encounter indicated by a white dot on the map. Since this spawns randomly, pay attention and play these, so you can help strangers & win their support.
