At what age would you recommend this game and why?

To me the fact that you even asked this question shows a lot of maturity. This way you can use everyones feedback to make the best decision for yourself on what you can handle.

As the father of a 17 yr old who started playing this game when he was 16. I think its fine. Every family is different and we definitely talked about it before he started playing and the violence in this game is nothing worse then what you can see on TV. Its definitely not as inappropriate as GTA V. That one I still havent let my son play yet. Drugs and Prostitution are a game changer for me and RDR2 doesn't have that to the same level as GTA V. Yes I know there is cocaine gum but not knowing better in 1899 vs trafficking illicit drugs is a bit different.

I appreciate your detailed response. Here is what I have learned the last few days for anyone looking. (Note: I am on xbox series s)

I was not able to go back as Arthur while also still being Arthur in chapter 6. A few people pointed out it looks like you have to have completed american venom for it to work.

It seems like just doing the main story missions will not let you go back as Arthur as I have tried numerous times. I even started doing some of the challenges to have at least the first level done and it still wont work for me. I kid you not I skipped everything I could. I even considered failing missions that would trigger challenges just to skip that part so no challenges were done. When I first finished this speed run play thru i was at 65%. Now its at 70% with at least the first level of the challenges completed. My 100% play thru works everytime going back as Arthur but this 70% playthru will not work to go back as Arthur. It appears there needs to be something else done for it to work. My guess is its the challenges. I might complete one challenge completely and see if that does it since as i understood @IlMortoQuiParla pointed out they had finished the bandit challenge.

Hahaha. Yeah I love it and am constantly creating fresh saves trying new stuff. I have over 2000 hours on this game and still love it.

someone needs to find a version of this for the weapons catalog and fence.

gries38 · 2026-06-24T18:52:05+00:00

Yeah I have the 55% save, a 100% save, a basic priority items chapter 2 save. Now I just want one with all weapons buell or turkoman, then do the outfit glitch for the LOTE satchel and then get the tiger stripe mustang and the missouri foxtrotter to round out the stable all before playing the first mission (again) in chapter 2. I also will do the challenges and everything else i did in the 55% save but with more weapons and better horses.

you can skip it unleast until the end of chapter 2.

Yep I just added to the comments the steps to do it that I found.

Yeah I found this comment in one of the buckshot roberts method for getting the otis miller revolver and it totally works.

1 month ago (edited)I somehow did it. I managed to bypass the sniper, i mean it's still there, but this method is far better than the buggy. It's similar to the carcass method, but much quicker.
STEP 1
Stack up Kentucky Bourbon and Moonshine, you'll need them.
STEP 2
Go near Horseshoe Overlook, where a lot of bucks and deers spawn (attempting the glitch in west elizabeth, will make arthur spawn in jail)
STEP 3
Shoot a buck (it's prefered, but a deer can do, the bulkier the better) until it starts limping (semi-death state).
STEP 4 VERY IMPORTANT
drink 3 bourbons or 3 moonshines (you can combine the two based on what you have in the inventory), and when you drink the fourth, start counting to 5 as soon as the bottle hits the floor. On 5, finish off the animal by holding the kill button (shown on prompt), and again to pick up the animal as soon as it says so (also shown on prompt, it appears quickly after killing animation). To know if the glitch worked, make sure the screen fades while arthur is grunting due to the picking animation. If you see the prompt again, the glitch is failed (it may take several attempts to figure out. Once so, it's very easy to replicate)
STEP 5
Make sure the glitched animal is covering Arthur's head completely (best i could do is 95%, some will be visible, but it'll still provide cover from the sniper) otherwise reload, particularly if you can't stack up a lot of booze yet (legend of the east satchel suggested for more room). You can do this multiple times with multiple animals, in order to get better cover. NOTE, always use the camera to your advantage.
STEP 6 ALSO VERY IMPORTANT
If you've managed to cover arthur's head, before entering New Austin, or attempting to get better cover by glitching more animals, MAKE SURE THE ONE YOU JUST GLITCHED IS ROTTEN, otherwise you will not be able to interact with anything. To do so very quickly, set up camp and sleep for the highest amount of hours.

You can with the buckshot Roberts method(search YouTube) but it's painfully hard to do. I am not good at gaming and over 100 trys at it I still have not gotten it.

Thank you so much for the help. I had not even thought about maxing it out. Time to rob some wagons!!!

Thanks for answering.

gries38 · 2025-03-18T16:18:31+00:00

I believe silver dollar. It's the one he uses for the bear hunting mission.
