Honor is one of the most important systems in Red Dead Redemption 2. It tracks whether Arthur Morgan acts like a good man or a bad one, and the world reacts. This guide is spoiler-light and focuses on how it works.
Key takeaways
- Honor tracks whether Arthur acts like a good or bad man.
- Helping strangers, obeying the law and sparing duelists raise honor.
- Theft and harming innocents lower it.
- Honor changes dialogue, outcomes and discounts.
What raises honor
- Helping strangers
- Obeying the law
- Sparing duelists
What lowers honor
- Theft
- Harming innocent people
How honor changes the game
Honor changes dialogue and outcomes. According to the sources we checked, high honor can unlock special outfits and store discounts, while low honor tends to bring more loot from your actions.
Honor and the ending
The ending of the story depends on Arthur's honor level: high honor and low honor lead to different outcomes. We keep it vague here to avoid spoilers.
Which path should you choose?
- High honor: a more heroic Arthur, with discounts and special outfits.
- Low honor: more loot, but more trouble with the law.
- Mixed: most first playthroughs end up somewhere in the middle, and that is fine.
Honor in roleplay
RedM servers do not use the same honor system, because roleplay communities set their own rules. Read how to play RedM to see how it works.

juudtkkptWhich path should you take?
Neither path is wrong. A high-honor game rewards kindness with warmer dialogue and shop discounts, according to rdr2.org. A low-honor game gives you more loot and a harsher feeling. Many players choose the style that fits their own idea of Arthur.
Tips
- Think before you steal. Even a small crime can change your score.
- Help strangers when you see them. It is a simple way to gain honor.
- Save before big choices if you want to try both outcomes.
Spoiler-light by design: the ending depends on your honor level, but we don't describe it here.
