How To Draw In Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that wants to be absorbed slowly, and with that comes a lot of congenital-in vagueness that will go clear with fourth dimension. In a video game, though, vagueness often leads to confusion. Luckily, at that place are a lot of settings in the carte du jour that yous can toggle to help you proceed rail of what'due south going on. Hither are our favorites and suggestions.

Speakers and subtitles

Scarlet Dead Redemption 2 is total of gruff outlaws who spend a lot of time speaking to each other while riding their horses. Although cowboy-Aaron-Sorkin-ing is entertaining, you usually only see the backs of their heads, and it tin can get really disruptive figuring out which gruff outlaw is speaking.

Micah's easy to remember because he'south the worst.

In your Settings carte, go to Settings > Display, then curlicue down and plow on Subtitles and Subtitle Speaker Proper noun. This adds the name of the person speaking to the subtitles. This may seem like a dizzy thing to propose, merely it is seriously the best manner we've found of keeping everyone straight in our heads (and just learning names).

Cores and status icons

Cores are a confusing part of Ruddy Dead Redemption 2 — and so much so that we wrote a lot of words well-nigh them in our cores guide. Keeping track of how your cores and rings (or confined) are doing is something that takes a bit of piece of work to get comfortable with.

Get to Settings > Display, then roll down and switch Status Icons to Static, which will make your cores remain visible around your minimap all the time (instead of contextually). This will not but remind you that they're at that place as a thing to manage, but keep you thinking nearly how to use them.

Minimap/radar

We don't have communication on what to gear up this one to, but it's of import to know you've got options. Your Minimap (or "radar," as Scarlet Dead Redemption 2 calls information technology) gives yous a lot of data near your immediate environment — from the bodies you haven't looted all the same to where your hunting bays fell to what stores are nearby — only information technology takes the "mini" part of its name seriously, and it can be hard to see what'due south going on.

On the other hand, if you're looking for more than of an immersive experience, having that minimap there at all is a bit of a lark. And too, NPCs volition alter their dialogue to reference landmarks to make sure you don't become lost.

When you're playing, hold downwardly on the D-pad. Y'all'll get four options for your minimap.

Compass. This 1 only shows you lot which management you're heading in, not what'south effectually you lot.
Expanded. Your minimap (and the icons on it) are all bigger. This selection also makes your core icons a niggling bigger.
Regular. This is the default size.
Off. Choose this i for the fully immersive feel.
