Weapons


Weapons are a key for survival in RDR2. The wild west is full of deadly predators, human and animal alike. Carrying a couple of guns and knives is key to staying alive. But make sure you got ammo and your weapons are in good condition. The weapon system said to be realistic, and similar to the one in the original Read Dead Redemption. Dead Eye system is in this game.

Guns (handguns and rifles)
Double Action Revolver
Bow & Arrow
Knives
Stone Hatchet (GTAV Unlock)

Wildlife & Horses

Red Dead Redemption 2 has a living world featuring 200 species of wild life, along with rare unique animals. Hunting and fishing are a major function of the game.

Horses are a necessity for any accomplish cowboy or outlaw.  There are 19 different horse breeds in Red Dead Redemption 2, with 59 different coat designs. Horses allow for transportation and also carrying objects and weapons. There are different breeds for different styles and play. Bonding with horses is important for progressive controls and action.  I am a bit hoping this game has bit of a Grand Theft Horse feel.

Legendary animals are found in the wild much like other Rockstar games.For each one of the 200 species it is said that there is one legendary. Hunting legandary animals awards unique pelts and such for crafting one of a kind items. Legendary animals outside of the species, and others such as Bigfoot and Chupacabra are yet to be confirmed wither way.
