From time to time, Red Dead Redemption 2 might seem like a game in which you need to be an outlaw. But, there are a lot of rewards of being a good and honorable person in the West. In this guide, we will go through the Honor System, how does it work, what are the ranks and what are the rewards.

If you manage to be an honorable person, people will value you more at the end. The Honor System is based on the player's actions and it is the reflection of the game. How other characters treat you is dependant on how honorable you are. If they run away from you, stand beside you or just attack you it's all because of your choices.
