✨ Bring Ghost of Tsushima’s iconic navigation experience into the world of the Wild West!
🌬️Mod concept
The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is beautiful and immersive, but keeping an eye on the radar (minimap) can distract you from the stunning scenery along the way. This mod is designed to help you navigate, **without looking at the radar at all**! It draws on the "Guiding Wind" mechanic from Ghost of Tsushima, where you just set a waypoint and the wind will guide you to your destination.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
