Summary
A veteranRed Dead Redemption 2player online has discovered how to use a pocket watch to tell the time in-game in an immersive fashion, without actually checking the in-game HUD.Red Dead Redemption 2is already one of the most immersive games out there, so it’s interesting to see players find new ways to make it even more so.
It’s almost six years since the launch ofRed Dead Redemption 2, and it’s epic that players are still finding new details after numerous playthroughs of the game. Certain details might be old news to some players, but new to others. That’s part of the game’s appeal. Rockstar has hidden so much away that there’s always something new to find, which adds a crazy amount of replayability toRed Dead Redemption 2. Just recently, anotherRed Dead Redemption 2player discovered a new interaction after 1,400 hours of playtime, showing that even the most experienced players have more to find.
Redditor MaverickRebel55 found out that the pocket watches that are looted inRed Dead Redemption 2can actually be used to tell the time in-game. This gives them a unique purpose beyond being picked up to be sold later on. It was pointed out in the thread that the in-game time can be found by pressing down on the D-pad, and that’s true. However, that’s not who this particular detail is for.Red Dead Redemption 2is known as one of themost immersive open-world gameson the market, and some players choose to lean into that. Using the pocket watch is a great way for players who prioritize immersion to check the time, without having to break it through the in-game HUD.
RDR2 Player Discovers How to Use Pocket Watches After 400 Hours
Gamers in the thread shared several immersive ways to tell the time inRed Dead Redemption 2, and there were some interesting revelations. It’s possible for Arthur to askRed Dead Redemption 2NPCsfor the time, although this is random when using the Greet and Antagonize conversation feature, so it shouldn’t be used consistently. Another user pointed out that the clock in Emerald Ranch’s general store works, just like the pocket watches, while oneRed Dead Redemption 2player claimed, “I usually just work on the “sun is out, its day time” philosophy.”
As of right now, the development ofGrand Theft Auto 6means a newRed Dead Redemptiongame is unlikely any time soon. The success of the second entry in the franchise makes it almost certain that a sequel will happen at some point, putting the series into a bizarre limbo. It could be the turn of the decade before a newRed Dead Redemptionis released, although that’s purely speculation. It’s not all bad news, though. Recently, it emerged thatRed Dead Redemptionfans on PC may finally get to play the original game, 14 years after its initial launch. Let’s hope this comes to fruition, as it would be awesome to see what PC modders could do with the 2010 classic.
