Redditor Donnieboah revealed the secret to beating the Hamish Sinclair stranger mission, “The Veteran,” when Arthur or John must catch alegendary fish inRed Dead Redemption 2. It’s a notoriously difficult mission, and when does as the game intends it can be a real test of endurance for gamers. The fishing mechanics in the game are particularly difficult, requiring players to wear down bigger fishes before they’re able to catch them. However, as this gamer points out, if the player simply casts their line as close to the boat as possible, the fish will be immediately caught upon them being hooked on the line. It’s a great tip that can save players a frustrating struggle.
This idea could have helped many others in the thread, with one user claiming to have spent 25 minutes hurting their hands trying to complete this mission, only to see this post. Another user posted that in the game’s accessibility settings, there exists an option to change thefishing inRed Dead Redemption 2so that players tap a single button to reel in, as opposed to rotating the thumbstick. This would certainly make catching the bigger fishes in the game a much easier task and combined with this trick would make Hamish Sinclair’s mission a breeze.
Gamers will be hoping that fishing makes a return in a potentialRed Dead Redemption 3. While it certainly isn’t the deepest mechanic inRed Dead Redemption 2, it provides a great change of pace from the gunslinging and the cowboy lifestyle, and earns its place in the game as a fun detour. It seems that a sequel is some time away yet, withGTA 6first on Rockstar’s list of priorities.
