War Horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 – How to get it?
As of today, there are only two known ways to get the War Horse, via Pre-order bonus or via Cheat or Code:
Pre-order bonus
If you booked the game, a War Horse is one of the rewards. It won’t unblock automatically so you must finish the Hosea mission in chapter 2 “exit pursued by a bruised ego” before.
In that mission you’ll have to take his horse to the town and sell it. You take it to Amos Levi Blacksmith & Farrier and after a conversation you’ll be able to buy a horse from the store. One of the horses is Ardennes, the War Horse.
Trick or code
But if you didn´t pre order you can still unlock the war horse using one of the cheats or codes:
One of the available tricks in RDR2 is the power to instantly call upon the war horse.
To use the tricks or codes in RDR2, go to menu – pause – go to settings and tap:
- PS4: triangle
- Xbox One: Y
After that, to call upon the warhorse write “you are a beast built for war”, and it will be yours instantly.
