Red Dead Redemption 2 Honor System – How to Raise Honor

In Red Dead Redemption 2 everything you do has a price, and sometimes that price will be your morality. The Red Dead Redemption 2 honor system allows you to be a better person or a terrifying outlaw, but it can be difficult to work out what lowers honor, or how to raise it at all.

If you’re going to commit a crime, make sure you wear your mask and change clothes before you return to that location. Also, make the “nice” choices during missions, such as letting captured NPCs go rather than murdering them. It’s the little things…

You get better treatment in stores, such as lower prices and access to new outfits. Also, if you’ve got lawmen questioning you, it’s far easier to use the “defuse” dialogue option and talk your way out of any trouble. Of course, if you’re a bad guy you’d probably be happy enough shooting the varmints…
