RDR2 in a nutshell
Avoid anyone named 'Micah' and dont collect money from a farmer.
Especially one with coughing blood
And TB
@@Daxman2006 That's why i said avoid collecting money from a farmer
That's my cousin's name,lol!
Red Dead Redeemption 2 reference
“I have a plan. We need money” - An Outlaw in 1899.
Dutch
”Have some goddamn Faith!”
I got a plan
Have some god damn faith
Tahiti
"If your horse dies suddenly" What? Didn't they have horse reviver?
Another wholesome rdr2 comment
I just shoot that dying horse and whistle the new one lol I got insurance
I forgot the horse reviver now my horse is dead forever :(
@@Complete_Stranger7050 HAVE YOU NO HONOR? YOU MUST WALK TO THE CLOSEST TOWN AND BUY HORSE REVIVER!
Heh horse reviver was almost $10 dollars, I don’t think anyone could afford it if they wanted to
The best place during the Wild West was Tahiti. Legend tells that some ruthless outlaws moved to Tahiti and became successful Mango farmers. Just don't bring a Rat may ruin the harvest.
🤣🤣
What happened if Dutch’s absurd plan occurred:
Hey Dutch had the same plan…… I HAve A pLAn jOhn
@@trevortheturkey8411 you always have a plan, dutch!
Dutch Plan Der Linde.
1. Don't boat to Tahiti during hurricane season. 2. Don't stand behind an unfamiliar horse. 3. Have some goD DaMn FaItH! 4. Don't trust new gang members. 5. Don't accept drinks from strangers or pig farmers. 6. Don't get too attached to your horse. 7. Don't do bank robberies with someone who's not good at bank robberies. 8. Don't trust Irish gangs. 9. Don't get TB and die. 10. Don't become a hot air balloon pilot.
I would become a hot air balloon pilot, that mission was dope, but scares me because rdr 2 online is going to be flooded with armored balloons with incindiary bombs made from animal fat and some moonshine
11: Don't be Irish in general
And that's the red dead redemption 2 game in a few seconds
matthew farmer hey watch it BOAH
@@shiddyangler The West doesn't like Irish people much
You forgot the biggest threat: Lumbago
Ha i get that
GET BACK TO WORK UNCLE
GET UP
It’s a slow and painful death, my brother.

No having lumbago
Chewing tobacco
True
No some goddam faith
Moon shine
“How to survive the Wild West” Loot bodies, kill Pinkertons and o’driscolls, carry your guns with you, have food for your horse, and try to not get killed, robbed or arrested
Easier said than done.
goddamn Pinkertons...!
ARTHUR YOU FORGOT TO PAY YOUR TAXES?
@@Cocoathebetta agh, I'm trying Dutch, I'm trying
Fun fact: Pinkertons are a real thing, they’re main area is Fort Worth.
Step 1. Let Micah swing. Step 2. Do NOT collect the MUNEH from Mr. Downes. Step 3. Shoot Milton and Ross when taking Jack fishing. Step 4. Enjoy perfect ending.
killing 2 men infront of a child is not good, just letting micah swing dutches plan to tahiti would be succesful because there wont be a rat ruining those plans he make
BRUH my Man traumatised a kid
@@dobremarian1234 im sure he was traumatised already
Why not collect the muneh from mr downes?
@@LilPistachiofr I can't say it but just dont
Surviving in the wild west is easy just carry health tonics around
And chewing tobacco in case you get in a gunfight
Just as long as you don't get the terminal lumbago
And dead eye tonics
And a bandana in case things get spicy.
Nah cheat codes
How to survive in WW: 1. Don't be loyal to someone who's clouded with "Plan" 2. Don't be near anyone who has TB or cholera 3. Rob the train and go to/in Tahiti 4. Eat mangoes

How to survive the wild west: 1. Dont massacre an entire town which would lead you to flee up north into thr snowy mountains with your gang. And would later lead to robbing a score off your arch nemesis which leads you to go on the run agan to civilsaton only for you to end up on a deserted island and your best rifleman to get tuberculosis and go on the run again only for the gang to get into a massive standoff between the gang which leads to the rifleman dying. Hope that helps! and avoid tahiti heard guarma's nice
