RDR2 chap 2 EZ START_Aww_Yerr_Arrright_Guurrl

EZ bro! 👋

Here's another save for this amazing game, unlocking tons of content so you can start your new adventure easily and comfortably!

🎮 Archive content overview

  • **Game Progress**: Completed the minimum main missions and started directly from **Chapter 2 Camp**.
  • **Start-up Capital**: Have about **25,000 USD**, enough to spend two lifetimes! 💰
  • **Apparel and Appearance**:
  • Unlock all special edition costumes (some super cool ones!)
  • Unlock the "Legends of the East" set
  • **Camp and Items**:
  • The camp has been **100% upgraded**, including book items and decorations. No more worrying about Mr. Pearson!
  • All Stachels are available.
  • **Collect and Craft**:
  • **All cigarette cards collected**. Get ready to send it to the gentleman at the train station to collect your reward!
  • Trapper progress **100%** (all items have been crafted and strengthened, all sets are complete). Just head to camp and enjoy the results in your bag.
  • All amulets and trinkets **100% complete** (including legendary trinkets). This means there are no more unique animals to hunt in this save.
  • **Weaponry**: All weapons unlocked and unique weapons (such as knives, axes, throwables, recipes, etc.) acquired.
  • **Top mounts**: The stables are stocked with the top three horses (Arabian, Turkmen and DLC horses), just waiting for you to upgrade and... "gnaw on rocks or trees". 🐎
  • **Map**: The entire map has been explored.

In order to retain half of the fun of exploring the map, **not all unique items (such as hats, helmets, etc.) are unlocked** (only the necessary weapons are actually unlocked). So the rest of the exploring and riding fun is up to you!

📂 How to install?

⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**: I am not responsible if your improper operation results in data loss. **Please be sure to back up your own archive file to your desktop before copying and pasting! **

  • Unzip the file.
  • Copy and paste the save file into your save directory: `C:\Users\username\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\[a string of numbers (e.g. O3XD1337)]`.
  • The file name of this base archive is `SRDR30000`.

**Again**: When you are not satisfied or want to restore, don’t forget your own archive files that you backed up before!

✨ Personal experience

This is the archive I use personally, just like "New Game+", **avoiding all the tedious grinding tasks and hardcore duplication of work**.

Hope you like it! If you think it’s good, don’t forget to like and support! 👍

have fun! ! 🤠

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
