Not to be confused with these lines, that look similar, which are boundary lines. They don’t have a lot of height or ridges like mountains have. And there would only be a few (or none) other lines surrounding this middle circle, because hills aren’t very tall and usually it’s just the peak. So for example, a small hill on the map would just be one large circle, because the top of a hill is big and flat. And mountains with fewer lines and a big circle in the middle, are shorter mountains with a bigger and usually flatter peak. Mountains with a bunch of lines and a smaller circle in the middle, are big/tall mountains with a small & usually pointed peak. Compare the lines of this mountain to the Contour Chart above, and you will get an idea of what the mountain would actually look like ingame: Let’s take a look at a mountain on the Rdr2 map. And artificial features like roads, railroads, towns… Natural things like mountains, rivers, lakes. Topographical maps show the natural and artificial features of an area, represented by lines on the map. The world map in Red Dead Redemption 2 is topographical. (This chart can be used for any game with a topographical map.) Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.This guide will take a look at the RDR2 world map, explaining what all the contour lines mean & more. Next: Red Dead Online: Blood Money Wastes Opportunities' Potential Until there are any updates from Rockstar, though, glitches that unintentionally expand the games' maps will have to suffice for now. If anything, there is a lot more untapped territory in Mexico, south of what players in even Red Dead Redemptioncan already traverse.

The combined map and Red Dead Redemption 2's absence of Mexico suggest Rockstar still has some wiggle room when approaching the confines of RDR2's open world or any future Red Dead Redemption games. The glitch doesn't give way to the same Mexico found in Red Dead Redemption or new missions - and if players venture too far into the game's uncharted territory, they will fall into a void and die. Even so, TokerSmurf remarked on the glitch, stating that "There is a lot more there than would be required just to make it look good from the north side of the river." This indicates that it's possible the game's developers might have originally intended to incorporate Mexico into the gameplay. There does exist an exploitable glitch that opens Mexico to RDR2 players who finished the game's main story.

The apparent exclusion of Mexico motivated other Reddit users to detail their hopes that Red Dead Redemption's Mexican territory would be added in a future Red Dead Redemption 2 update. With the two maps layered over each other, one can see that RDR2's boundaries enclose more than twice the area of its predecessor's land, only leaving out Red Dead Redemption's settlements in Mexico. The user, who said they combined the maps out of sheer boredom, commented that the final product showed "how much more" there is in Red Dead Redemption 2 when compared to the series' first installment. Reddit user TokerSmurf recently highlighted the two games' connected geographies by consolidating their maps into one image.

RDR2's setting is situated a bit east of its series counterpart, encompassing only New Austin and West Elizabeth in addition to three new fictional U.S. states New Austin and West Elizabeth, as well as a portion of Mexico called Nuevo Paraíso. Red Dead Redemption's world stretches across western U.S. Unlike their different timelines, however, both games' maps slightly overlap. The events in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 occur nearly 12 years apart, in 19 respectively. Both series installments are some of developer Rockstar Games' most detailed and expansive games to date, making the games' open world as much a part of the gameplay as their stories or mechanics. A Red Dead Redemption 2 fan recently created a graphic that merges its map with that of its predecessor, Red Dead Redemption.
