Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 Western setaction-adventureRPG title is highly anticipated by all. Players will take control ofArthur Morgan, an outlaw and a member of the Van der Linde gang during 1899. While the “2” in the title makes it sound like it’s a sequel, it is actually a prequel to Red Dead Redemption.

Being Lawful
It is more difficult to do good and be rewarded for it, but there are some options players can undertake to speed up the process.
- Bounty Hunts

- Surrender to Authorities/Lawmen:
- When the local law enforcement arrive, stay unarmed and surrender. Doing so grants a chance to grant players honor.
- +5 Honor
- Random Occurrences
- At times a random person may be in need and players should help them. Some examples but not limited to:
- Take someone home by horseback
- Helping someone whose horse ran away or died

- Helping these people sometimes will net you a paltry sum of cash or even an item. One can even let you purchase a gun on his tab!
