How to Fast Travel in Red Dead Redemption 2
There are multiple ways to fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2:
- After unlocking the ledger in Chapter 2, invest in the First Things First and Next In Line camp upgrades to unlock a one-way fast travel map behind Arthur's tent.
- Take a train or a stagecoach to travel between towns.
- Set a marker on the map, then enable cinematic mode and have your horse run in the direction of the marked spot. Release the run button to set your horse to autopilot.
Automatic horse travel does not work during quests or while riding with another character.
