Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Things You Must Do First

8. Buy Some Horse Revival Kits

A major facet of the core gameplay is the bond between Arthur and his horse, and building up a rapport with your steed will help immeasurably with traversing the land.

As a result, it can be both upsetting and frustrating if your horse is mortally wounded in an accident, especially if you have no means of reviving the poor animal.

Given how easy it is to trip over a log or slip down a crevasse and kill your horse, you'd be smart to stock up early on horse revival kits, which can be bought in both general stores and stables dotted around the map.

The alternative is having to hijack or purchase a new horse and start the bonding process from scratch, which is immensely annoying. Save yourself the hassle and plan ahead.
