Welcome to my complete walkthrough of “Eastward Bound,” the mission that marks the end of Chapter 1 in Red Dead Redemption 2 and begins the gang’s long journey toward a new future. After surviving the brutal snowstorms and danger of the mountains, Dutch van der Linde decides it’s finally time for the gang to move on from Colter in search of better opportunities. In this mission, Arthur Morgan rides east with the Van der Linde gang, escorting the entire camp through harsh terrain toward Horseshoe Overlook in New Hanover. While there is little combat, this mission is rich in storytelling, dialogue, and atmosphere, offering players deeper insight into the personalities, hopes, and tensions within the gang. As the group travels, conversations reveal Dutch’s vision for freedom, Hosea’s doubts, and the growing pressure from the law after the Blackwater incident. The long ride showcases the scale of the world, introduces the open plains of New Hanover, and signals the transition from survival-focused gameplay to full open-world exploration. Key highlights of this mission include: • Traveling with the entire Van der Linde gang • Story-driven dialogue and character development • Transition from snowy mountains to open landscapes • Unlocking Horseshoe Overlook as the main camp • Opening up the full world of Red Dead Redemption 2 “Eastward Bound” serves as a calm but powerful turning point in the story, showing that while the gang has escaped the cold, greater challenges still lie ahead. It perfectly bridges the survival prologue with the expansive outlaw life that defines the rest of the game. #RedDeadRedemption2 #EastwardBound #ArthurMorgan #VanDerLindeGang #RDR2Walkthrough #RDR2Gameplay #HorseshoeOverlook #RDR2Story #RockstarGames #OpenWorldGaming #PS4 #PS5 #XboxOne #XboxSeriesX #PCGaming #StoryDrivenGames #GamingWalkthrough
