A New Kind Of Story
Red Dead Redemption 2 is our attempt to tell a new kind of story in a new kind of video game world. You’ll play as Arthur Morgan and live the experiences of his time with the Van der Linde gang, a group of notorious outlaws on the run across 19th century America. As Arthur, you will experience every aspect of outlaw life, from robbing banks and hijacking trains to forging relationships with fellow gang members as you fight and run to escape the clutches of the law and the hypocrisies of polite society.
We worked closely with the very talented team at Piggyback to design this guide as a companion during your time inside the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 as you live and travel both with the Van der Linde gang and on your own.
We really hope you enjoy your time in the world.

Reviews
“Terrific companion”
“This book is LOADED with useful illustrations, charts and tables that visually describe each part of the game. Along the right column of each page is a ‘locator’ which indicates the chapter and section that you are currently on. If you love the RDR franchise but have been frustrated with the game, then this book is for you. You can quickly lookup whatever is required to get you back on track enjoying the game. It’s filled with tips, tricks and lots of detailed information that you can lookup quickly so you can focus more on having fun. In some ways it compensates for what the game should never have lacked in the first place. But I have found it a useful reference to get me back on track.”

“I didn’t realize how much I had been missing”
“Great guide for RDR2! There is literally too much stuff to do and easily miss in this oversized immensely immersive world. I didn’t realize how much I had actually been missing till I got this guide. The guide itself is made very well. The pages are thick and nice and show great detail and shows you everything from main missions to treasure maps and the random stranger encounters. This is an essential for the Red Dead fan attempting to see everything the game has to offer!”

“Best guide I’ve seen in quite a while”
“I own a few video game guides but this one is exceptionally made with lots of detail and brilliant colorful photographs snapped from the game. The hardcover version that I bought is just magnificent and the quality of the paper is really something else. I waited 8 years for this game since the first one came out, and this companion just matches the experience and a must have for any fan.”

“Everything you need to know!”
“This high-quality book contains everything you need to know about this fantastic game. Players will reference it often. I am glad I bought this guide to inform me of the intricacies of the game, informing me of subtle things that would most certainly be difficult to discover on my own, or things I may not discover at all. I think this guide enhances your experience playing RDR2 and the authors are careful to see to it that spoilers are not exposed. Piggyback has gone to great lengths to make this the most comprehensive and highest quality guide you can buy for RDR2; that being said, I think you would be as happy as I am for purchasing it. I highly recommend this guide — I am certain you won’t be disappointed.”

“I’ve learned many things the internet didn’t tell me”
“Well planned and thorough! Extremely thorough guide. The atlases are very helpful. The flow of the guide is well thought out, and I’m learning many things that even the internet didn’t tell me. You can tell Rockstar has given them all the information they needed. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to enhance their playthrough of the game. I especially like the mission flowcharts for every chapter, and the animal locations for hunting/fishing.”
