After a failed attempt to blow up the tracks and halt the train from heading inside a tunnel, the gang must race across the snowy hills to the backside and hop down onto the moving train as it leaves the opening. It's then that Arthur and Lenny traverse their way across the train cars in a shootout with Cornwall’s guards as they head for the engine to stop the train. After shooting through the guards and putting a stop to the train, more guards emerge from the back of the train and in the surrounding hills. A massive shootout between the gang and the scores of Cornwall’s men erupts until there are no guards left standing.

This decision is solely up to whichever side of honor the player is shooting


Steeped in Greek mythology, this side mission is filled with foreshadowing - so players kind of know what’s going to happen before it does. Not that that takes any of the fun out of it. In the myth, Daedalus created the wings that led to his son Icarus plunging to his death after flying too close to the sun. Even the mission title is filled with punny forebod


Red Dead Redemption 2 weapons Dead Redemption 2 is a large and expansive game.

Red Dead Redemption 2's _ single-player mode is filled with activities besides the main storyline missions. One of the most appealing pastimes is tracking down and completing _RDR2's many Stranger Missions . These side quests can appear in all throughout the map, but not all of them can be completed at once. Arthur Morgan and John Marston each have access to different areas, and the progression of time within the main story is a key component of Red Dead Redemption 2's world.

It’s difficult not to judge after getting duped by a man who’s in love with his horse. This offbeat side mission from the original Red Dead Redemption sees John head off on a "mercy mission" to rescue Lucy, Jeb’s lamented l


It's a fun location, complete with a woman locked in an outhouse, a stunning, tree-lined entryway, and a plantation house resembling real locations, including Oak Alley Plantation and Houmas House Plantation, both of which are found in Louisi

This sequence, while probably terrifying for the passengers, is a relatively violence-free RDR2 robbery . Arthur keeps his gun pointed toward the roof of the car for the most part, only occasionally firing a shot to hurry up skittish or stubborn passengers. It isn’t until the back car is searched where things go awry and Arthur needs to save Sean, which results in four guards being shot. Shortly after, the law finds their way to the halted train, and thus begins s shootout with a couple of dozen lawmen. Once the lawmen need to recoup, the gang escapes on horseb


The entire town is in complete disrepair, complete with crumbling buildings , collapsing docks, and even a sunken boat just resting in the water. The site is also quite unique in that its citizens serve as the local police force, shooting anyone (like the player) who makes trou
