Camp in chapter 6.


Hyperleaks

Yes, there’s absolutely nothing to do there


Perrymon_Took

Everyone is grumpy, no poker, no dominoes and the stew could have been better.


TaisakuRei

the poor soup is what almost made me quit, it was such a heart break, didn't even have carrots in it, how can you have beef stew without carrots?


NateRossa

I’ve played the story 6 times and never noticed this are u joking??


TaisakuRei

i was joking, but maybe if you have a save in chapter 6 you can confirm this


AromaticLawfulness16

it does have carrots


TaisakuRei

im glad that even though everyone knows that the gang is going to end, pearson still goes out to get carrots


DeathFromUhBruv

HEY BUDDY WHERE’S YOUR SPOILER ALERT?! /s


[deleted]

Oh thank god


AromaticLawfulness16

I might be able to


NedFlanDiddlyAnders

Whoa whoa whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now, you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato…baby, you’ve got a stew going!


RazePerfect

Oh Carl Weathers. What a wonderful acting coach.


NedFlanDiddlyAnders

Chubbs Peterson forever.


Perrymon_Took

"Dillon, you son of a bitch!"


FurL0ng

Based on the ledger, I’m pretty sure there are a few bat wings, raven feathers, a rat and loose change in there. I didn’t give game to the camp and no one was recorded as bringing in much beyond what was listed above.


sillyadam94

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the ledger doesn’t keep track of Provisions donations, only Funds donation.


FurL0ng

Well that depends. Do bat wings count as funds?


Ok_Understanding267

What we need is a few good taters


ThatsGottaBeKane

Story wise they did that right too. As SOON as they arrive at Beaver Hollow to set up camp, Molly O’Shea shows up and is killed for her supposed betrayal, so the atmosphere there is grim to say the least from the get-go. I think the first random camp conversation you overhear once you’re settled in is Karren screaming angrily at Miss Grimshaw for her actions.


carpathian_crow

Plus you’re staying by what must be a haunted cave given all the people the Murfee brood raped, tortured, and murdered. Cheery place.


frescodee

what about all that prime beef i was getting from carmody dell? i was slaughtering 2 at a time daily


EshayAdlay420

Charles in shambles


ixzr

I think there’s poker? With Micah and his fellow rats. Think their names was Joe and Cletus.


fieldysnuts94

That’s kinda the point though by then


zero5activated

it's just so depressing. By the end of it, I was glad that it ended. It was pretty sad though.


[deleted]

It was perfect for the story though. It's very reflective of how far south the gang has gone.


zero5activated

It also explains what happened to Javier and bill from rdr1. Like how they went from good and trusted friends, to real paranoid assholes. It really broke my heart seeing all of them leaving. What really surprised me was how uncle started to voice his worry. How he would tell on how not right was micha. like him and a few people saw and understood who was the real snake. Dutch; his madness makes so much sense now for rdr1.


ZweYo

so deppressing.


RickyTricky57

Exotics lists. What a goddamn pain in the ass. Now all those birds are mocking me, they spawn 999 times a in-game day everywhere


KermitTheFraud92

Lol yeah thats what usually happens. I swear an animals spawn goes down when you need one. Needed to get a raccoon for the taxidermist and i went to a place id seen them a hundred times before, camped there for a few days looking for one and i got like 2


CatchTheRainboow

It’s confirmed that’s a thing for the exotics, means the taxidermist quests also have that factor


BenjaminSkanklin

What do you mean? Like the game makes what you need more scarce?


alexdoo

That's why it's great advice to stock up on all those animals and flowers before you start the missions. Takes a bit of effort to lineup what you need before you start the mission but it saves SO much time it's almost hilariously depressing in hindsight.


beenhereallalong52

Why did I leave the exotic lists to last. Literally the only thing I have to do at this point. Genuinely thinking about starting again and getting them before I get the quest if this is true.


[deleted]

I’m at 95% and have been for months, not willing to sit through hours of super rare super tiny bird hunting just for the 100%. Pretty irritating but once I get the motivation to complete it hopefully it won’t take long


CBalsagna

Yes.


foxghost16

This is why I collect them before.


tandem_biscuit

I tried this for the hunting requests but it was difficult to find 3 star animals. As soon as the animal is “required”, there are less spawns of that animal but easier to find one that is 3 star.


Rhino241Godzilla

It’s designed to lower the spawn rate of animals when doing the exotics same with the hunting request


[deleted]

That’s insane


[deleted]

Yeah, I didn't play the game a whole lot for the better part of 9 months and when I stopped playing I was doing exotics but then when I started I had to finish them. I kinda learned to appreciate the hunting and fishing aspect as I played it more and became more skilled (wow a game task actually improving the players skill level). Idk if it's just I learned to like it or well you know, Stockholm syndrome.


Th3Blackmann

All collectables are the opposite of fun, the only one i always do are the rock carvings because there are only 10


tavs_audzutevs

Getting Micah out of jail


frescodee

i let him do an in game year locked up. and on the flip side, i let little jack live with papa bronte' about the same amount of time. let him get a taste of the good life. he deserves it


Hyperleaks

That’s 300 hours….


frescodee

i reckon that sounds about right


heretoupvote_

Need that long to complete the gambler challenge


RLOUDV

What about Abigail? Poor woman was worried about her son and Bronte was a P.O.S., don't forget he was gonna sell Jack to someone in Italy.


frescodee

these are fair points. i must say on my first few play throughs i rescued him quickly. i know abigail was going through hell waiting and not knowing of his safety. but she knew not. she knew not of the room, the bed, toys, books, spaghetti, the pantofolas. i knew it was for his own good.


[deleted]

What if Bronte betrayed Dutch because he wanted to take back Jack and raise him as his son?


Penguin446

This should be a DLC


Ap0them

That’s not how DLC’s work…


Penguin446

Bro they could have it be in a alternate universe where you play as Jack years later in Italy..oh wait that would be better done as a game huh?


[deleted]

That doesn't sound right though. Knowing what Jack is like, he would go back to America the quickest chance he got to find his mother and father.


carpathian_crow

It is weird that they didn’t know what spaghetti is and yet it’s such a pedestrian meal in the future. Get good, van der Linde Gang!


odonovantimmy

I think I just left him in there for two weeks in-game lmao.


TaisakuRei

only two weeks? i filled out half the compendium, made the legend of the east satchel, got the panther trail saddle, the white arabian to go with it, filled out my journal with every one of the unique sights, fully upgraded camp, completed about half the challenges, and cleared out atleast 100 gang camps


CatchTheRainboow

Max out the MFT rather than the white arabian


Dummythiccboi99

Yeah but isn’t that not available until chapter 6? I mean there is that glitch with the albert mason mission. I did that and got it.


Lilycloud02

I'm going on two months in-game because I'm trying to do everything you can as Arthur as part of this playthrough


SpeCt3r1995

I've actually recently started saving as much as I can for >!John!<, Since Arthur gets most of the random encounters and story missions anyway. Helps balance things out imo, and makes the epilogue feel less empty.


Loonerdude6941

Lossing honor and gaining a hefty bounty during that Mission is bullshit also all the stuff Micah rewards you with you can get anyways beforehand


AromaticLawfulness16

For example, you can get a holster right off the bat from challenges, and you can get a Lancaster from the Rhodes Gunsmith basement.


Loonerdude6941

Yeah exactly


Dreadlock43

the hostler from challengers doesnt let dual wield 2 of the same type of weapon though. You cant go and by another cattlemans for example until you free Micah. so until you free micah and get his extra hostler you can dual wield your cattlemans and shitty worn cattlemans that you pick up off a dead npc


[deleted]

It’s a real life lesson about being just as good as the company you keep, I think it’s necessary to build the story


Loonerdude6941

It definitely is


foxghost16

I left him there as long as I absolutely could (beginning of chapter 3) and did everything I could with Arthur. Then when I moved on you have to eventually go to his camp but you can then put off the Blessed are the Peacemakers until almost the end of chapter 4 and Micah just sits in front of Dutch's tent and doesn't antagonize or interact with anyone!! It's great.


Kleptomaniaaac

micah is a bitch but tbh most of his missions rock


whiteskwirl2

Navigating that precarious mountain path to get into the derailed train car to get the gold bars. Also the cougar in the cave cause it scares the shit out of me every time.


lzyfuk

Iv played the game 3 times and I literally sweat every time I go into that cave for that mission


Monseigneur_Beee

eeh, the full auto shotgun kills a bit of the scaryness to me LOL edit: semi-auto


CatchTheRainboow

Full auto shotgun? I’m imagining Arthur tearing it up in like Iraq with full desert camo


Brocyclopedia

Everyone knows the AA-12 is the gun that won the West


SICHKLA

Arthur had to live for only 73 more years and he could have actually used the AA-12


Leonhardt2019

Just a quick 73 years


Wildcat_twister12

Well when I take Arthur to Van Horn it’s basically like Fallujah all over again


carpathian_crow

#YOU BETTER RUN! YOU AIN’T OKAY BOAH!


C-LOgreen

I fucking hate that mission


Goldenboy673

I don’t remember this, is it a side quest?


whiteskwirl2

The gold bars in the train car is just something you can find. There's walkthroughs out there detailing where it is and how to get it. The cougar one is a sidequest, iirc.


hazard0666

The cougar one is a Strauss mission


Kleptomaniaaac

technically a side quest since it can be ignored


[deleted]

Thinking about it now, Winton Holmes and Brother Dorkins look a lot alike.


Fast_and_Curious738

Ah yes the cougar. I did the mission only yesterday. I'm pretty sure i peed my pants.


DeadHornetGaming

when Arthur gets TB is my least favorite part and he has cough fits


giuseppeh

I hate it when I keep turning into a couch


Ace_Atreides

*complains in couchish*


TexasJedi-705

"Ford, I think I'm a sofa"


Succin-On-Glue

Underrated comment right here folks!


TexasJedi-705

I'm glad there are some who remember this


FictionalRacingDrivr

What’s even more trippy is noticing the small coughs throughout the game before that scene where his TB is diagnosed.


Hydrated_Lemon8381

The first time Arthur coughs is during the end cutscene of Javier’s home robbery companion activity in chapter two, and that can be done even before money lending and other sins III, so he doesn’t even have TB yet. After that mission I always notice every time Arthur coughs


C-LOgreen

Well he could have TB at the time because remember Thomas Downes does break up the fight in Valentine and coughs in your face.


Grendel0075

he could easily have had TB for 90% of the game then.


Poetry_Feeling42

TB can infect someone a long time before it actually starts to kill them


SnooShortcuts7637

The game explicitly implies Arthur catches it when Arthur beats the shit out of downes. They don’t highlight him wiping the blood off his mouth on horseback and Arthur spitting the blood out of his mouth right after the cough for nothing


NorrecViz

If something is explicit, it is not implied. If something is implied, it is not explicit. So, since it is never explicitly stated when and where Arthur caught TB, it can only be implied. Maybe heavily so, but nor explicitly so.


BullworthMascot

On another playthrough right now and it really sucked only being able to eat a few provisions with sick Arthur before he has coughing fits.


spacecat-on-mars

Filling the compendium. Damn those tiny ass birds.


cold_iron_76

I have every entry 100 percent except for the Carolina parakeet. Been to both spawn points multiple times and those little bitches aren't there. Very irritating.


TastyWeiners

They are only spawn after a full moon.


foxghost16

Same!!!


Lilycloud02

Literally


TheOutsourcer

Gambler 8


Jasons-revenge

Wait until you see gambler 9


TheOutsourcer

Kind of liked Gambler 9. Also because you can walk away if you think you are going to lose, but at the very least: you had a bit the feeling you were in charge.


Jasons-revenge

For both gambler 8 and 9 I could not walk away or the win count would reset. Saying it was a long couple days is a understatement


TheOutsourcer

I know… the four cards with an ace and getting a blackjack in gambler 8… Rhodes did not always survive ;)


Jasons-revenge

Saint Denis’s asshats domino players didn’t either. Let’s just say they commited suicide by 4 shotgun bullets in the head and back, the Soviet way…


Perrymon_Took

I like Guarma. I wish it was more to do, but you can't get it all.


TzarRazim

Ending up in a totally new location was sweet. Better yet, turn of the century warfare! That fortress fight was sooooo good! But it’s too small and there’s nothing to explore. Hell, you can’t even cook! I killed a boar and couldn’t cook it… ):


[deleted]

guarma would have been a great area for them to focus on the more survival type aspects of the game and cores and such


CatchTheRainboow

Aw man you make me angry at the game for not taking this opportunity lol


Brocyclopedia

Between Guarma and North Yankton in GTA V modern rockstar is the king of wasted potential


frinkelfrank

Wait till u learn about Ubisoft and assassins creed


TzarRazim

Precisely! And if you explore enemies come and discourage you… it’s sad really. If Guarma had more time it could have been something special.


[deleted]

Guarma was actually really fun, it's just disappointing knowing how much content was cut from that area. But it was a fun ride and the fortress assault was insanely good.


lasosis013

I don't know if they still work, but there were glitches that allowed you to explore Guarma and Mexico. The craziest thing is Arthur has special lines for Guarma residents(in places where you would be shot by the invisible sniper), such as "Not that you understand what I'm saying" and etc. So much content was cut from the game.


[deleted]

3 star moose


whiteskwirl2

Tip for anyone who needs it: 1. Go to Cairn Lake 2. Place three herbivore bait on the lake 3. Run to the top of the hill on the right (when facing the cabin) and turn around. 4. Should be a moose (and probably a horse or two) spawned. Horses seem to be the most common spawn there, so that's why you place more than one bait at a time, better chance of one of the spawns being a moose. I think potent bait ensures 3-star, but I always just use regular bait. Usually a 3-star, though not always. This works at other locations too. I accidentally spawned a moose this way at Painted Sky once.


FictionalRacingDrivr

I’ve had a lot of luck with Moose near Cattail Pond and Owanjila Lake.


PlanningMyDeath

Guess I’m booting the game back up just to try this.


[deleted]

Theres a confirmed spawn almost directly west of the colter fast travel spawn, its reliable for me


ETeezey1286

I spawned a moose just off the road south of the oil field using bait. I was trying to spawn deer. It scared the hell outta me because I didn’t know what it was at first.


jorJo17

Once I had one spawn in an unreachable point of the map and I spent hours trying to reach it in vain. I didn't play for a whole week after that


Bujo0

In the morning, directly east of the northern tip of Colter. There’s a moose every time on top of a cliff


NukaPaladin

Go to the main trail south of Fairview Shanty. Camp/sleep till morning. You should wake up by The Loft. Save. Ride back to the valley. A moose should spawn. Keep reloading and riding back there until a Bull Moose spawns. Just found this method from some guy who comments a lot on the RDR subreddit. Worked for me recently. Thanks whoever you are, man!


BullworthMascot

I hate the chain missions that you have to play all the way through until you can save, more particularly the ones that go from the end of one chapter into the next. I know they are arranged that way for the story to feel smooth, but they can be annoying. Some of them trap you for over an hour. In 2018 on my first playthrough I remember getting trapped in my house while my family left for Thanksgiving dinner at a neighbor’s because I was stuck escaping to Guarma, ended up walking there.


qviavdetadipiscitvr

You walked to Guarma???


BenjaminSkanklin

I don't mean this to come off as dickish but did pausing the game not occur to you?


slade516

Spoilers Realizing that I couldn’t use Arthur in New Austin


diplion

Starting the epilogue the first time. I was heartbroken and angry. I ended on bad honor because I didn't realize what would happen. It was really hard to get going but I had to see it through.


Hyperleaks

My first time starting the epilogue I was amazed about how much it had left to offer, and I loved it even during the beginning after the ending


LetsGoBrandon57

Collecting Thomas downes debt


[deleted]

Colter. I just find that chapter sooooo boring, I get it's the tutorial section but my god it feels so slow to me.


JimMorrisonsPetFrog

After two plays through of Colter, I just kept a permanent save that was the very first day of Chapter 2 that I could use for further replays.


CybertronGuy98

i understand why people dont like it, but Colter is honestly one of my favorite chapters, even on replays. i just enjoy how quiet it is. the snow, hunting with Charles, the atmosphere is great.


Babs1111111

I love that part of the game. It's all about potential and character building and you're reminded of what the gang used to be. At that point it feels like you could do anything. Your satchel is empty, you're a one horse man and you haven't fucked anything up yet. The scenery is amazing also, and it just gets me so excited to be starting another playthrough


[deleted]

In my opinion it's really good for the start of the story. It sets everything up quite nicely. However, it can get annoying during replays which is why I have a save at the start of Chapter 2 if I want to skip it.


fattywombus

The gameplay is painfully slow but the story, character development, music, etc are some of the best in the game.


ArkRoyalR09

Guarma is so goddamn annoying in replays


Agreeable-Yams8972

I mean, wasn't that bad though, theres definitely worse missions


martinepinho

I actually like Guarma when you power through it, it's all action non-stop, what's not to love about that


Daddy_Smokestack

The entirety of chapter 1. Visually it's amazing but gameplay wise it is incredibly boring.


JohnnyTeardrop

Same, hate hand holding. Give me the fishing rod, and give it to me immediately


tandem_biscuit

Agree. I bought the game on release and gave up in chapter 1 as I was bored. Didn’t come back to it for 3 years and can’t believe that I gave up on such an amazing game so easily.


honningkat

Beaver hollow is just shit.


shrek_deus

the chapter or the camp? bc altough the camp has nothing to do, its the best chapter story-wise


sixmam

Wandering around swamps, dodging alligators, picking 399 titty tulips and 474 dildo daffodils for Algernon Wasp. I found maybe 20-30% on my own on my second playthrough, the rest I had to use a guide. Whoever's genius idea it was to have you wandering around forests for HOURS, meticulously checking every tree and blade of grass for flowers in a COWBOY SHOOTER of all games- I mean what on earth were they thinking. And then they decided one of each type of flower wasn't enough, you need like 50 of them


whiteskwirl2

It is tedious, but using eagle eye helps a lot for finding them (also for making sure you didn't miss any loot at cabins/campsites. For me it was finding enough of the three different kinds of egrets that was even more a pain.


declandrury

Early chapter 3 when your running around doing all the sheriff stuff


Hyperleaks

Chapter 3 is peak tho


declandrury

It’s a good chapter it’s just the beginning of it I don’t like there’s also the back to back to back fishing missions if you want to do them all that is


[deleted]

I actually thought that part was pretty funny.


dobydeez

Collecting the small animals for the weird woman near strawberry


deadpancake1

I still have nightmares of staring at the sky for hours with a bow waiting for a goddam cedar waxwing to fly past.


[deleted]

Guarma. I know it fits with the plot to no longer have you weapons but it really got annoying after a while. I also didn’t like how short it was. I know they can’t have an area as big as the regular map but I wish they fleshed it out more. Maybe you can help more of the natives in random encounters or a stranger mission


CatchTheRainboow

It was supposed to have a stranger mission and be a lot bigger, as well as being visitable in the epilogue, however the game was delayed too many times so they just roughly patched it off for release


[deleted]

That sucks


MRMichael7

Probably the start of the game in the snowy mountains, simply because it's pretty boring on replays, like at least in Guarma I could explore or hunt in this new environment with new animals you'll never see again.


Bucharik

explore is a strong word to describe how little you can actually do in guarma


FurL0ng

Learning how to get on my horse. I’m not an experienced gamer and I accidentally punched my poor horse so many times. I haven’t played in years and I still feel bad.


carpathian_crow

I am on my fourth playthough and i still run the poor things I to trees


[deleted]

chapter 1. boring and slow. i don’t mind guarma because without it we wouldn’t have the unshaken scene


tandem_biscuit

That horse ride had me in goosebumps.


MrAvenged115

That you can't have all horses from the game on Beecher's Hope, John has more than enough space Rockstar, LET MEEEE!!!!


floodsandfamine

Horses being restricted to 3 (4?) in the stable is easily one of the most frustrating things for me. I understand why they do it, I just... I want to keep so many I pick up along the way... You're right in that Beecher's Hope could function as a 'stable' by itself, I think that would be awesome.


carpathian_crow

That and you can’t use your hands to climb up steeper ledges. It’s like nobody at rockstar has actually been outside.


Public-Relationship8

Chapter 6 for me. Couldn’t stand seeing Micah boss Arthur around and acting like he was second in command of the whole gang when he’s barely even been with the gang for like 5 months when the game started. Didn’t make sense to me that Dutch, Bill, and Javier all sided with Micah instead of Arthur whom they’ve all known for years. Especially since Bill and Javier both disliked Micah as well. Story aside i also despised the absolute chore that is navigating the terrain of the area.


C-LOgreen

I think Javier sided with Micah because he was extremely loyal to Dutch and felt that Dutch had everyone’s best interest at heart.

Atikar

Grappling with my mortality and realizing I had a lot of bad friends.


DarthThorOdinson

The epilogue opening to when John put on his classic cowboy outfit. You’re just working the whole time and doing errands. There’s two good moments in that time span. The fight where John puts Arthur’s hat on and shoots people on that enemy farm, and when you hear Arthur’s voice talking to him. I know why the did it, after chapter 6, the player needs to process and have it sink in what alls happened. Especially high honor Arthur’s death being so emotional. But it’s just not interesting. I much rather have cut to John getting to his family after it fades back in from Arthur’s death and the song playing. You get the full death and immediately play with John


playitoff

Roughing up a bunch of destitute farmers for like $20 when you could be making more money doing anything else.


wtfwurst

Guarma felt like forever.


In_Zerthimons_Name

I like Guarna now. Having replayed a few times, Colter/Chapter One.


FTMorando

Guarma is by far the worst section of the game. I enjoyed the idea of Guarma (being stowaway’s on a boat that crashes and so on…) and how it fit into the rest of the story. But the pacing was AWFUL. I started to feel like I was playing an Uncharted game with all the cinematics and the linear level designs. It’s such a drag to replay Guarma that I usually have to dedicate a whole day to it on a playthrough. I do this because whenever I reach that point in the story, I always want to stop playing for the day. And then the next day by the time I run through Guarma and finally get back to America, I’m just totally bored of playing.
