Red Dead Redemption and RDR2 are packed with missions that go beyond gameplay—they hit emotionally, tactically, and sometimes philosophically. Whether it’s the chaos of The Assault on Fort Mercer, the heartbreak of Our Best Selves, or the surreal calm of A Quiet Time, every player has that one mission they never forget.
So let’s hear it:
- What’s your favorite mission?
- Was it the story, the setting, the survival logic, or something personal?
- Did it change how you play—or how you see the game?
Drop your pick below and tell us why it matters. Bonus points if you’ve replayed it just to feel that moment again.
It’s been too long since I played the first game, but in 2, you try to go straight and live the simple farm life and it’s such a boring part of the game. Typically that’s a bad thing, but I loved how it simulated that itch for chaos. As a player, you’re thinking the same thing as the character. “Not long ago, I was riding around shooting people and making tons of money, and now I’m shoveling shit for pennies a day.” When the mission comes to go back to your roots and raise some hell, you know you shouldn’t, but damn does it feel good to get back to doing what you love.
