Thankfully, we don’t have to look far as we’ve compiled a list of the Red Dead 2 myths that some people might have wondering about.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Myths (Vol. 1):

Myth #1: A train will stop if the track is blocked.

Myth #2: Both people can die from a duel.

Answer: Yep!

Myth #3: You can blow up a tram.

Myth #4: A campfire can set people on fire.

Myth #5: You can shoot TNT out of the air.

Answer: Yes, even if it is a little hard.

Myth #6: You can get a horse on a train.
