In "Red Dead Redemption 2," fast travel can be a real time-saver, especially given the vast open world of the game. While you can't instantly fast travel in the same way as some other games, there are methods you can use to make getting around easier.
First, you need to unlock the fast travel feature. This occurs once you upgrade your camp. Here's how to do it:
1. Upgrade Your Camp: Progress through the main storyline until you reach Chapter 3. Once you're in the new camp location, you can contribute funds to upgrade various aspects of your camp. Look out for the "Book" at the camp; this is where you can make upgrades.
2. Build a Fast Travel Map: To enable fast travel, you must invest in the "Fast Travel" upgrade for your camp. This costs a bit of money and requires you to have sufficient supplies. Once this upgrade is complete, you'll gain access to a fast travel option at your camp.
3. Using the Fast Travel: After you've upgraded your camp, approach the travel map located near the tent in your camp. Interacting with it will allow you to select various locations you have discovered previously, enabling you to travel quickly to those spots.
4. Train Fast Travel: In addition to using the camp, you can also use the railway system. Once you discover train stations across the world, you can board trains to pass through multiple locations quickly. This method is efficient, but you'll need to be wary of the train schedules and sometimes pay a fare.
5. Utilizing Stagecoaches: You can also use stagecoaches found at various towns and settlements. While this is not as instantaneous as camp fast travel, it can get you to nearby towns quickly.
Keep in mind that fast travel options are tied to the locations you've visited before. To make the most of this feature, explore different areas to unlock more locations in your fast travel map.
By utilizing these methods, you can navigate the stunning landscapes of RDR2 more efficiently, allowing you to focus on the story and side missions without unnecessary travel time. Happy gaming!
