[Top 10] Red Dead Redemption 2 Best Foods (And How To Get Them)

 

Arthur has 3 main attributes: Health, Stamina, and Deadeye, and each of them has a Bar and a core.

For example, Your health bar goes lower when you get shot when you're out of the fight; it would regenerate. The speed of that regeneration is determined by how filled up the core of your health is.

The same applies to Stamina and Deadeye. That’s essentially the difference between Bar and Core.

Now that we got that out of the way let's talk about the best foods that help you fill them up in the best way possible.

 

10. Assorted Salted Offal

Don't judge them; you weren't alive in 1899. They are cheap, carriable and you can consume them on the go.

Benefit: 

  • Slightly increases Health and Dead Eye Cores

How to get it :

09. Apples 

Did you know that apples existed in that period? Me neither. Apples are great in red dead because you can eat them and fill up two cores at once for $0.40, and also you can feed them to your horse.

Everything we mentioned so far is foods you can consume on the go. Now let's talk about the real deal. 

Taking time to cook your food at a camp will provide you with serious advantages, extra health bars on top of those you already have.
