Why do you need random events
During your journey, you can perform both linear tasks that affect the overall course of the game, and random events. Without them, the scenario won't change, so you don't have to take them on. However, they are used to replenish the "scale of honor", which brings us closer to the desired victory.
Among these situations, the most common are those where different characters need your help. If you fulfill the request, in addition to honor points, you get a valuable hint for completing the game. Characters are ready to share important information in exchange for your kind heart. And just to diversify the gameplay is always useful.
Here are all the random events in Red Dead Redemption 2. Use wisely.
Task #1: the driver
The first random task is hidden at the beginning of the second Chapter. Going with your uncle to a town called Valentine, you meet a saddened coachman. He will appear after leaving the camp, so do not miss the meeting. If you come up and ask what happened, he will tell you about his grief – the escape of two horses.
You need to go to the white horse and try to calm it down. As soon as you can, take him to the coachman and collect the reward.
Task #2: homeless veteran
Immediately after the first event in the Southeast of Valentine, you will find a second one. When you see a homeless veteran, don't pass by. Come, talk, and agree to all the old man's statements. He will be happy and hug Arthur.
Task #3: homeless veteran Again
Later, a familiar veteran will be back with you. All he wants to know is the name of the person who listened to him earlier. As soon as this happens, the reputation will go up.
Task #4: bandits
North of Valentine, you will run into bandits who are trying to steal a stagecoach from an old man. Rushing to the rescue of the last, be ready to shoot back. Your goal is to kill the villains and get honor points.
And if you have a key in your inventory, open the trunk in the stagecoach and take the honestly earned useful items.
Task #5: unhappy lover
South from the station Latnik you will see the concerned man. He will stand on the Bank, throw stones into the water and whisper about the woman. Arthur should talk to the unfortunate and share valuable advice about relationships with the opposite sex.
Task #6: insidious love
In random events, there are also those that negatively affect the reputation. For example, when you see two youngsters looking in the window with interest, it is better to pass by. If you go and look out the window, you will witness sexual intercourse, which will lower your level of honor.
Task #7: tired woman
Traveling through the game world, you can find a certain woman stuck under a dead horse. Talk to her, then pull the animal away and release the girl. Then you should take her home, which will have to clear the second place on your horse from the skins of animals. But the effort will pay off.
Task #8: the Lost man
Before the already famous Valentine, a man wanders in the forest. When you reach him, prepare to point the way to the place he asks about. The guy will be happy to go with you, along the way telling you about the problems of the city. He will also tell you about the strange mayor, which will be useful information.
If the character is in a bad mood, they may ask you to dismount. Do not do this, or you will be left without a horse. In case of danger, kill or tie the attacker with a lasso.
Task #9: alcoholic
In the Heartland Oil Fields region, a person will sit near the fire. It is worth going to a chair, sit down, buy him a whiskey and listen to the story of the prison camp. By sharing valuable data, the alcoholic will say goodbye to life. It can be robbed or go further, imbued with respect.
Task #10: tobacco
This random event will not bring much merit. When the tobacco collector is in front of you, he will be happy to tell you about the benefits of the plant. You will not be able to interact with the boy. All you have to do is pick tobacco. Which is also, in General, not bad.
Task #11: snake Bite
Every time you hear screams and pleas for help, stop and ask what happened. Usually characters are bitten by snakes. To help them, it is enough to suck out the poison or offer medicine, if it is available in the inventory.

Task #14: the gold digger
