10 Incredibly Useful Secrets Video Games NEVER Told You About

The level of realism in Red Dead Redemption 2 is certainly impressive, but Rockstar's dedication to accurately represent even the most minute and boring aspect of living in the Wild West also has its tedious side.

Things like cooking and crafting can take a lot of time, as they require preparation and actually creating the items you want. The most egregious example of this are split point bullets that increase your damage and lower Dead Eye usage, but you can only make one at a time, and even making a couple takes forever.

However, if you don't feel like spending hours watching Arthur carve Xs into his bullets, there's a way to make them on the go.

Though it's never mentioned in-game, you can craft most of your items on horseback, as well as by the campfire. All you have to do is open the camp menu while on your horse, and then choose which item you want to make from the crafting options.

Horseback crafting also allows you to make split point cartridges, so you can get your special bullets while simultaneously moving between places and enjoying the beautiful landscape of nineteenth-century America.

Who said you can't mix leisure with efficiency?
