Horseshoe Overlook is a camp hideout in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online in The Heartlands region of the New Hanover territory.

It serves as the location of the camp during the second chapter of the game and as a possible camp location in Red Dead Online.

Location[]

Horseshoe Overlook is located in The Heartlands, within New Hanover. It is situated south of Valentine, east of the border with West Elizabeth.

Description[]

Horseshoe Overlook is a plateau in The Heartlands. To one side is a steep cliff, and to the other lies thick forest, making it the perfect location for the gang to camp. It overlooks a horseshoe-shaped bend in the Dakota River, which is likely what gave the area its name. Horseshoe Overlook is a very advantageous spot for a camp to be situated, as the small hill has the high ground where an attack might be coming from, it also has a complete view of the entire canyon below and many deer to hunt in the area. It is also close to the town Valentine, which has a butcher's shop for selling excess meat for money. It also has a Doctor, Gunsmith, Saloon, and a Bank to rob. Horseshoe Overlook is objectively the most strategically advantageous camp location in the game.

Trivia[]

  • If the player returns to Horseshoe Overlook in the epilogue, the player will hear an auditory flashback of a conversation that took place during camp's corresponding chapter.
  • A horseshoe is traditionally thought to bring good luck. The Van der Linde gang camping at Horseshoe Overlook in Chapter 2 echos this thought as many gang members believe the gang's luck is turning for the better after the Blackwater Massacre.
    • This is particularly supported by Dutch, Hosea, Susan and Uncle, who assure their fellow members that they will survive and often ask fellow members to cheer up.
