Skills & Progression | |
Arthur Morgan's core attributes (Health, Stamina, Dead Eye) level up through gameplay actions (e.g., running increases stamina, headshots increase Dead Eye). Gear upgrades (bandoliers, satchels, holsters) are crafted by Pearson at the gang camp using animal pelts and other materials, increasing carrying capacity. Weapons can be customized extensively (barrels, sights, stocks, wraps, engravings) and cleaned to maintain performance. Tonics and provisions provide temporary buffs. Horse bonding is crucial, unlocking new maneuvers and increasing horse stats. Camp upgrades provide benefits like better provisions and fast travel. |
Progression is tied to survival and crafting. Players scavenge resources to upgrade weapons with custom parts like suppressors and scopes, and craft a variety of traps and gadgets. There are no traditional skill trees; instead, progression is based on acquiring better gear and unlocking new tools that open up new areas and tactical options. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
The game world is exceptionally large, detailed, and diverse. Regions include the snowy mountains of Ambarino, the heartland plains and forests of New Hanover, the swampy bayous and antebellum towns of Lemoyne, the developing plains and forests of West Elizabeth, and the arid deserts and canyons of New Austin (largely based on the map from the first Red Dead Redemption). Each region has unique ecosystems, wildlife, towns, and points of interest. |
The game features large, interconnected zones with a 'Metroidvania' design philosophy rather than a single seamless open world. The island is comprised of diverse biomes, including lush jungles, sprawling beaches, treacherous cliffs, deep swamps, and ancient ruins. |
