I just found out it's possible to search satchels on other horses and I found a gold nugget. You beauty.

Yep. Figured this one out not long after I started playing by accident.

I was simply trying to skin a dead horse lol (like you could in RDR1)

Lots of stuff can be found in them.

 

Also, there is one on each side.

Be careful though. Tried to search a satchel from a horse outside a bar and the bastard horse kicked my ass. 

Yeah. Some will let you check both bags. Some will not let you look at all before they kick you.

However, I have noticed that, they do it less if you pet them first.

...but if it kicks you while digging in the bag, then it will normally keep doing it no matter how many times you try.

 

If you really want to know what is in a bag you keep getting kicked from, there is another option...

You can kill them.

 

Just make sure you shoot on the side of the bag you are trying to search, because if the horses falls and lays on the bag you want...

you can't get to it.

Later on in the story (Chapter 6), at the campsite, there is a map by Arthur's tent that will allow you to fast travel to any location on the map. I don't know if this is available earlier in the story or not. I happened to stumble across this feature about a couple missions before the end of the game

I'm on chapter 3 and already bought that feature. It's in the book next to the donation box.

If you whistle in camp or towns all the horses turn to look...

You can enter "duel mode" at any time by lightly squeezing R2/RT. I thought it was locked to the few duels the game had alone, but you can actually do this at any time.

Damn, apparently it's not possible to go back where John was in the introduction, mountain range above the clouds..actually there is a good portion up there in the mountain that are not accessible even tho it's not beyond the limit, it should be accessible, strange.

I just realised: running down a mointain by holding down X/A (not tapping) wont decrease your stamina but running it up will. Nice detail imo.

[CrimsonFolo 1,071]

Don't know if it's been said already but enemies can use DYNAMITE

 

I think only specific enemies can use it but i got whopped a few times by the same enemies in a row because they threw dynamite at me and it blows up in 1-2 seconds.

 

Enemies can also rapid fire / fan the hammer. (Keep your eye on the cop)

Had no idea that you could miss yellow missions, until i did.

[Deadman2112 1,279]

lol

If you kick or punch your horse it will kick you to the ground.

Some of the small 'steam boats' have a cannon on the front, don't know if you can fire it though.

If you push the melee button at permanently locked doors you can kick them, though they still won't open

[RyuNova 14,525]

If you get out a letter or photograph etc when up North it will shake because Arthur is shivering.

Wounded boars attack sometimes when you get close enough. It hurts...

Cheat codes are hidden throughout the game world written on walls like last time. Just found "I seek and I find" on the wall of a train tunnel in Ambarino

[Jason 26,471]

I am 99% sure this is a thing but if you press L3 to calm/praise your horse when it's sprinting it will sometimes replenish a bit of your horses stamina.

 

So basically RDO races are gonna be full of player characters going "that's a good boy/girl" for the duration of the race I bet lol.

^jason^ lol 

 

When you have a bounty if you sleep in campsites that belong to enemy gangs, the bounty hunters don't come.

-Someone mentioned dynamites. I saw Molotov Cocktails being thrown to me as well. 

 

-You can hold Square/X to continuously loot items without any breaks.

You can jump onto your horse quite awkwardly from a ledge...I tried to make a better landing by pressing triangle in the air but no joy.

Spoiler

As Dutch is giving his speech towards the end of the party in Chapter four a thunderstorm will roll in behind him

Sometimes the gang will sing the same song Arthur sings to himself out on the trail "The cowardly killer who shot mr miller has laid old otis in his grave"

You can actually be struck by lightning.

 

Didn't happen to me personally but I just saw it on a Prestige Clip video. There was also a few more when I YT searched it 

[Cutter De Blanc 14,676]

The waterfall at the Map boundary north of the map is called Rocky Seven, this can be found out by taking a picture there

I found a dead horse near a stream. I looted one bag, and then was able to lasso it and turn it over, but was unable to loot the second bag. Whether that would have been possible had I moved it before looting, who knows? In the end, I managed to get it up on its stomach so both bags were accesible, but still no luck.

You can sit inside the train and even sit inside dining wagon but unfortunately,  nothing to order to eat or drink.

You can find the cheat codes inside game

So that's where that is. I've had a lead on a homestead robbery there for a while now, couldn't figure out where it was.

It's odd, as there's no indicators on any map that that's the name of the waterfall, but yes it's right near doverhill north of Brandywine drop

Yeah it looks like if the horse is already dead you can only look in one, but if it is alive and has let you look in one, but kicks you when you try to look in the other...

It does work.

It seem people are quickly freaking out when I'm walking behind them because of my low honor, I don't remember it happened when I had a 'neutral' honor. If anyone can confirm..
