5 Things We Learned From the Red Dead Redemption 2 Gameplay Trailer

Forming a bond

Getting around the wild frontier of Red Dead Redemption II2 will be crucial to Arthur’s success. That means finding and creating a bond with a horse.

In the first Red Dead Redemption, players could tame any horse they found in the wild, which is still true in the prequel. But players will now be challenged to keep their horse happy. Rockstar showed one scene of Arthur brushing his horse, so we know grooming will be one aspect of a much larger system.

If players don’t treat their horse well, it won’t listen or cooperate, making it a horrible companion when riding and pulling jobs. According to Rockstar, certain breeds will be better suited for certain tasks, so it will be up to players to find the right companion based on the situation.

In addition to keeping your horse happy, players can also use their saddle to store items, weapons, and carry animal carcases, the latter of which can be traded at outposts or brought back to camp for food.
