01

Arthur and the gang

Set before the first Red Dead Redemption, the story follows Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang in 1899. The opening introduces the camp and the people around him. Avoid ending summaries if you want to experience the relationships without spoilers.

02

Take time between missions

A measured pace makes room for exploration, camp conversations and the world beyond the next objective. Use the game's journal and map to revisit discoveries instead of trying to complete everything immediately.

03

Build good frontier habits

Watch the in-game condition indicators, look after your horse and keep supplies available for longer trips. Read the game's tutorial prompts for hunting and equipment before selling or crafting with a valuable find. Save before experimenting with a major choice.

04

Story and Red Dead Online

Red Dead Online is the multiplayer experience, separate from Arthur's campaign. Check the edition you own before assuming Story Mode is included, and use Rockstar's official information for current platform and Online details.
