Red Dead Redemption 2 has been out to consoles for over a year now, but the game was just released to the PC several months ago opening its vast world to a whole new player base. Ever since its release back in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 received mostly positive reviews due to its expansive world, interesting storylines, and well-fleshed out characters.
Now, while Red Dead Redemption 2's main storyline will keep players busy for countless hours, many are probably wondering what to do in the game after finishing the main campaign. So for those who have just finished Red Dead Redemption 2's main quest, or for players who are returning to the game after a long break, here is the best things to do in RDR2 after completing the game.
Go Fishing
There are many activities available in Red Dead Redemption 2 and fishing is one of them. Although the game's main storyline exposes players to fishing, it is also a good activity to keep players busy after completing the main campaign. Players can challenge themselves by attempting to catch thirteen of the Legendary fish that can be caught in Red Dead Redemption 2. These legendary marine creatures include Legendary Trout, Legendary Rock Bass, a Legendary Lake Sturgeon, Legendary Muskie, and many more. Although fishing is not the most adrenaline-pumping activity players can embark on in Red Dead Redemption 2, it still offers a calm and peaceful experience, which is perfect for players who just want to be one with nature.
Embark On Stranger Missions
Another fun aspect of Red Dead Redemption 2 that players can take advantage of is its wide variety of missions, some of which are just borderline strange and mysterious. One such side mission is Killer Clue where players will find clues scattered around the map leading to a serial killer who's on a killing spree and shows off their victims by displaying their decapitated corpses. This particular side mission puts players in the role of an old-time detective and definitely offers unique and interesting gameplay that no one really expects in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Discover Red Dead Redemption 2's Legendary Animals
Red Dead Redemption 2 offers players a vast open-world that often feels alive with its flora and fauna. After completing the main quest, players can saddle up their horses and explore the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 in search of legendary animals. These special creatures will allow players to collect new outfits, and other items, and participate in hunting down these animals to collect crafting materials. The game offer tons of legendary animals such as cougar, elk, buck, beaver, bear, and alligator.
Hunt Down Vampires
Although it is probably surprising to find supernatural elements in a game about the Wild West, Red Dead Redemption 2 has many of them including ghosts and vampires. In Saint-Denis, players will be able to find a series of messages written in blood that will begin a quest to hunt down vampires. These messages would eventually lead to the location of the bloodsucking monsters, but players must remember that battling vampires are much stronger at night and can kill the player with just one or two hits.
Aim For 100% Completion
Of course, the best way to curb players' boredom after finishing Red Dead Redemption 2's main campaign is to achieve 100% completion. This means that players would have to scour the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 and leave no stone unturned. To achieve 100% completion all quests, side quests, side missions, and trophies must be completed. On average, players beat Red Dead Redemption 2's main story in under 46 hours and 156 hours for those who complete it 100%. This alone tells players that completing the entirety of Red Dead Redemption 2 is no easy task, but is a challenge worth completing, especially since this is also the best way to just explore the world and absorb everything in.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now for the PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
