In Red Dead Redemption 2 you need to be quick and in some situations get moving. How to increase your stamina can be found here.
In Red Dead Redemption 2 there are many activities that directly affect your three resources: health, stamina, and Dead Eye. However, with some tasks and challenges, you can also improve your resources in the game. We will explain how to get more stamina here.
How to increase your stamina
To raise your stamina to level 8, you need to accumulate a total of 1100 experience points, just like with health. From level 10 onwards, only the specific challenges for each resource will give you points.
You earn experience points through tasks related to stamina. However, you can only expand the stamina meter, which is the ring around this specific core, and not the core itself.
However, there are far fewer activities that increase stamina, than for health or Dead Eye.
Activities
The easiest way to increase your stamina in Red Dead Redemption 2 is to complete stamina-related activities, such as running or swimming.
Running: You can increase your stamina by running through the game world without your horse. You earn 20 experience points for your stamina meter for every 100 meters you run.
Swimming: Similarly to running, you will also be rewarded for swimming. You earn 20 XP for every 15 seconds you spend swimming in the water. Just make sure there are no dangers lurking in the water you are in, such as alligators.
Combat
Survive with low health: Fighting is unfortunately not an effective way to level up stamina. However, you will be rewarded if you manage to survive a fight with low health.
If you emerge victorious from a confrontation with less than 25 health points, you will earn 20 experience points for stamina.
Challenges
Some challenges in Red Dead Redemption give you direct bonuses to one of the three resources that you can only improve up to level 8 with normal activities. Only challenges will advance you to level 10. For stamina, these are the challenges Explorer, Horsemanship, and Survivor.
The Explorer challenge requires you to find hidden treasures through treasure maps.
For Horsemanship, you need to complete various activities from the back of your horse. This includes, for example, trampling rabbits with your horse, covering different distances riding, or even dragging prey with the lasso.
The Survivor challenge requires you to catch special animals or craft items.
For the first challenge level, you earn 25 XP each, and if you manage to complete all three challenges, you get a total of 1425 experience points.
Pirate Rum
Elixirs and tonics can usually be found in the game world, purchased from merchants, or even crafted yourself. Drink aged pirate rum for your stamina, as it grants you 25% experience points towards your next level.
However, aged pirate rum is very rare and can only be found.
