Modded RDR2 Starter Save – Chapter 2, Fully Loaded

⚠️ Important: Do not use this save until you finish the snowy intro and reach Chapter 2 normally. This save is meant to be loaded at the start of Chapter 2, not before. Skip the tutorial and come back when you’re ready to explore.

What This Save Is

This is a modded Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 starter save created by Jay (Vicodin10) from PlayerSquared. It’s designed to launch your game with:

• Everything unlocked, obtained, and upgraded

• Full access to the map (including Blackwater!)

• No major missions completed beyond the intro

• Minimal risk of auto-popping trophies (tested & explained below)

I downloaded and tested the save myself, verified what’s inside, and wrote this guide to help you decide if it’s safe for you.
