The Best Red Dead Redemption 2 Missions

Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled to the brim with great missions, and we’ve gathered the absolute best of the bunch from Rockstar Game’s hit sequel.

Steps to Unlock the Whole Map in Red Dead Redemption 2

While you can unlock the whole map gradually by playing the game, there is a quick workaround, which is as follows:

Complete the Blood Feuds, Ancient, and Modern mission during Chapter 3.
Purchase the Saint Denis Times No. 47, which is only sold in Lemoyne.
Zoom into the following text: You long for sight but see nothing.
Access the cheats section in the Red Dead Redemption 2 menu and enter that text.
You will get an Alert informing you about the dangers associated with using cheats in the game. You will now find a new entry in the list of cheats, Fog of War.
Disable Fog of War to make the whole map visible.

When you complete the first five chapters of the game, you will unlock almost all of the map anyway.

As long as the cheat is active, you can view all locations in the game. While you can place markers and waypoints, Trophies and Achievements will remain unavailable. While the unavailability of Trophies and Achievements may be frustrating, the cheat is pretty convenient if you want to visit previous areas of the game where you missed out on important items and resources, like outfits, unique weapons, and so on.

When a cheat is enabled, the game does not save your progress.

Now that you know how to unlock the whole map in Red Dead Redemption 2, make the most of this information to get your money’s worth. However, do so at your own risk, as it will hamper your progress in the game.
