Red Dead Redemption 2’s latest trailer shows off all the things you can rob

Rockstar Games launched a new trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 earlier today, showing off some of the things you can do in the game.
The new trailer showcases a bunch of new ways you can rob, pillage, and become the biggest outlaw in the west. Heists were one of the first things shown off where you go rob large banks to try and get as much gold as possible before the law enforces eventually show up. There are also other means of getting money, such as the ability to rob stores or stop carriages in the open world to steal valuables from whoever is inside of them.
One of the biggest features is the ability to commandeer trains and rob the passengers inside. A short part of the trailer showed your main character on a horse running up alongside the train only to jump onto it. We can only assume that the character then has to manually go into the train and rob everyone he can before jumping back onto his horse to escape any sheriffs bought in to deal with the menace you have become.
The more you steal, the bigger a threat you become to the game’s world. As such, bounties will be placed on your head that will attract bounty hunters to come and find you. You could be on your way to the next main mission only to be jumped on by a bunch of vigilantes. Its then up to you to deal with them in any way you seem fit. Of course, you can also become the bounty hunter if you choose to take a more noble path in your life—but where is the fun in that?
An interesting new feature was shown off in the game hinted at how the world will react to Arthur depending on how you treat your character. If you don’t wash regularly, for example, you’ll notice NPCs running away from the stench you omit and covering their noses.
Really though, there are a bunch of things to do in the game that hasn’t even been shown off yet. Rockstar Games is just scratching the surface with the latest trailer to get fans hyped up for the game’s release on Oct. 26 for PS4 and Xbox One.
