6 Ways to Preserve Ammo in Undead Nightmare

Ever since the dead have risen, it's hard to find ammo. Read these 6 tips to make the most of your limited ammunition.

1. Use executions. Executions consume a single bullet and guarantee an instant kill. To perform an execution, simply walk up to an undead and pull the trigger.
2. Burn the dead. Whenever you engage zombies, try to torch and burn zombies that are distant from their pack. Your torch has infinite uses, so use it instead of firearms whenever possible.
3. Loot from dead cowboys. Keep an eye out for undead gunslingers as they always carry some unused bullets in their bandoliers.
4. Aim for the head. Headshots are guaranteed kills, whereas shots to the body usually require more bullets to kill.
5. Use pistols. Handgun ammunition is more abundant and headshots guarantee kills, so with skillful use, you should always have ammo left after an undead encounter.
6. Dead-Eye the dead. Red Dead Redemption's famous Dead-Eye features can allow you to easily target heads. Dead-Eye can also be used longer in Undead Nightmare.

Use your weapons sparingly. Above all, do your best to avoid unecessary combat. Without ammunition, you really are nothing more but a lamb with a pack of wolves.

Benefits of Having High Honor in Red Dead Redemption

At high honor levels, shopkeepers will find a positive air about you, and trade greatly towards your favor, as much as buying for higher prices and selling for lower! Thieves’ Landing however, has a certain dislike to goody-two-shoes and offer outrageous prices to players with high honor. In fact, criminals who reside at Thieves’ Landing may open fire at you just for being a good person!

When your honor level is at maximum, a random event might pair you with a nun who has been searching for someone with a kind heart. This nun will award you with the Obscuridad del Santo Andres. This miraculous item will make the player have a 25% lower chance of being hit by bullets.

Above all this, the player will have earned the respect of civilized townsfolk to the point where they will let small and minor crimes slide. Besides, everyone knows that if you run over a dog with a horse is definitely an “accident” right?

Finally, here is the greatest reward of all. Not getting shot every time you enter a town!

Benefits of Having Low Honor in Red Dead Redemption

Being a low-life scum in Red Dead Redemption may not be as bad as it sounds. Here are the benefits of having a low honor level in Red Dead Redemption.

The first benefit of having low honor is that you take what you want, from whoever you want. If you like that horse, it’s yours. If that person seems to have too much money, it’s yours. You can basically take whatever you want if you wish to live an outlaw’s life.
Making money is much easier too. Although regular shopkeepers won’t like you, the ones at Thieve’s Landing do! You can buy items and sell your wares at Thieve’s Landing for good prices given you have a low honor level. On top of that, you can rob people and banks for money as well, so wherever money is, you just need a way to get to it.

Having very low honor can fear the citizens enough to not report minor crime you make. Did you run over that puppy and enjoy it? Well no justice will be done since the townspeople are too afraid to report it to the lawmen.

Finally, an honor level of Desperado allows you to whistle for the Dark Horse. The Dark Horse is one of the best horses in the game due its very special ability. It can go on unpaved areas with no speed or stamina penalty. This means you can quickly travel across the lands and avoid roads if you wish.

Does living the life of an outlaw really what you want to become? Do you really want to be carrying too much money on your back to the point where it hurts to move? If that is a life that you don’t mind living, the life of an outlaw may just be the life for you!

Alternatively, if all the hype doesn’t attract you to being evil, there are also plenty of benefits from being a person with high honor.

The Best Horses in Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption has a plethora of horses for you to tame and choose from. Every horse does not have the same health and stamina however. Therefore, instead taming the prettiest one, this guide will help you decide which horse is meant for you.

The American Standardbred.

There are five horses that you should generally consider having. These five horses are: the American Standardbred, Hungarian Half-bred, Kentucky Saddler, Dark Horse, and War Horse. Each of these horses has different qualities and traits, and so one should consider their preferences before mounting a horse.

The American Standardbred is a black horse. They one of the fastest horses in the game. To counter this, however, the American Standardbred only has average health and stamina. American Standardbreds are useful for quick getaways, but don’t expect to travel far quickly with this horse.

The Hungarian Half-bred is a white horse. They are slightly slower than the American Standardbrd, but have a higher health and stamina level. Hungarian Half-breds aren’t a bad choice for a regular mount, but know there are probably better horses for you out in the west.

The Kentucky Saddler is a yellowish-gold horse or palomino coloured horse for those who understand what palomino means. At the end of Bonnie’s mission “Wild Horses, Tamed Passions”, you break and keep a Kentucky Saddler. They are relatively fast horses with high stamina. Their health isn’t very high, but with a high stamina, Kentucky Saddlers are more for traveling than going into gunfights.

The Dark Horse is a jet-black horse with a white face. A Dark Horse can only be attained by having an honor level of Desperado, the lowest honor there is. A Dark Horse isn’t particularly strong in anything, but they have an interesting advantage. They can travel through the wilderness with no penalty. When riding a regular horse, their speed lowers when they travel on grass or other areas with roads. Dark Horses receive no such penalty when traveling outside of roads. If you enjoy cutting through civilized pathways, this horse is the one for you. As long as you don’t mind being an evil and hated person in the Wild West.

The final horse to be discussed in this article is the War Horse. The War Horse is a jet-black horse with a silver mane and tail. They are simply the fastest and strongest horse in the game, with their speed, health, and stamina levels at max. Unfortunately, the War Horse only attainable by pre-ordering Red Dead Redemption (which is now impossible to do) and by purchasing through the Xbox Live Marketplace for 80 Microsoft Points.

Being the heroic gunslinger you are, it would be nothing less than embarrassing to be seen riding a half-starved horse into a gunfight. With these five horses to choose from, know that you’ll be riding in style.
