Red Dead Redemption 2: 12 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

1. Calm A Horse So You Can Steal From It

Many pre-release reports of the game talked about Arthur getting inadvertently laid out by a horse he was trying to ride - and this comes from said horse likely belonging to someone else.

To get around being kicked to the floor and covered in mud, just go around the front of the creature, hold L2 and press Square/X to calm it.

Once the horse is not seeing red and has resumed a more relaxed standing position, you're able to approach those loot-filled saddlebags in comfort.
