Red Dead Redemption 2 How to Unlock Fast Travel

October 25, 2018 by PowerPyx 1 Comment

This guide will teach you how to unlock fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2). There are 3 types of fast travel:

• Permanently Free Fast Travel: Can be unlocked by upgrading your camp.
• Train Tickets / Post Office: Train Tickets can be bought at the Post Office for a small fee, but not every other train stations can be reached from each town.
• Stagecoaches: Found in most towns, you can call a Stagecoach to drive you to another town. The downside is that these only work when you have no bounty on your head worldwide.

In addition to fast travel, there is automatic horse travel (autopilot) which lets you set a waypoint anywhere and you can hold Touchpad (PS4) / View-Button (Xbox One) to make your horse ride there automatically. To initiate this you must be riding on a road in the direction of the waypoint.

Unlocking Free Fast Travel (Camp)

Step 1 (Unlock Camp Upgrades) : In Chapter 2, complete Strauss’s story mission “Money Lending and other Sins”. Strauss wants you to track down debtors who took a loan from your gang. There are 3 of them, you just need to get money from one and put it in the camp’s tithing box. This unlocks the ledger next to the tithing box. There you can select camp upgrades!

Step 2 (Unlock Fast Travel): Buy the first two camp upgrades in the lodging category “First Things First” ($220) & “Next in Line” ($325). That’s $545 in total. The second upgrade unlocks a fast travel map behind Arthur’s tent!

Now you can use the map behind Arthur’s tent for free fast travel. You can only travel to discovered towns, but cannot travel back. This is one way only. To get back you’ll have to either ride your horse or use one of the fast travel options below to get to the nearest town and then ride back to camp. Below is an image of what the fast travel map looks like:

Train Fast Travel

Train Tickets can be bought at any Post Office. The further you want to travel the more they cost (it usually varies between $5-$15). The downside is that not every train station is connected to each other. So you may have to take multiple trains to get where you want to go.

The upside is that it works even when you have a bounty on your head. The train fast travel is instant.

you can actually fast travel from the camp you can make in the wilderness and fast travel to the places you have discovered.

Fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 takes on a few different forms. In this guide, we’ll teach you about them all.

Each one will prove useful in its own way as you travel the vast expanse of Red Dead Redemption 2 ’s world. After all, the scenic route — riding everywhere on Arthur Morgan’s horse — will get old eventually.

Stagecoaches and trains

Stagecoaches and trains are forms of fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 , but they’ll cost you. Literally. For a fee, you can hire a stagecoach or buy a train ticket.

Stagecoaches appear on the map as an icon that looks like two intersecting street signs. (It’s called a “taxi coach” in the menu that appears when you hover over it.) For a nominal fee that increases (as far as we can tell) based on distance from your current location, you can take a stagecoach to locations you’ve previously visited.

If you want to catch a train, you’ll need to buy a ticket. ( Unless you don’t .) You’d think you’d be looking for a train station, but you might also be looking for a building sitting next to a train track. In one town, Rhodes, what you’re actually looking for is the post office icon (which looks like an envelope). Talk to the clerk inside, and you can purchase a ride on a very Old West kind of transportation.

Actual fast travel

Traditional video game fast travel becomes available after you upgrade your lodgings at the Van der Linde Gang’s camp.

Head to the icon in camp that looks like a briefcase with a dollar sign on it. (It says “Donate to camp” when you hover over it on your map.) There are three upgrades to purchase on the lodging page. The second one, “Next in Line,” costs $325 and says that “Arthur wants a map to help plan journeys.” This is a reference to fast travel.

Buy that upgrade, and you’ll find a map on the back of the stagecoach next to Arthur’s bed. Approach it and interact, and you’ll be able to travel to several destinations — a mixture of towns and significant locations like buildings.

Keep in mind that this form of fast travel only works one way — from camp to somewhere else. If you fast travel from camp to, say, a town on the opposite side of the map, you’ll either need to ride your horse, hire a stagecoach or buy a train ticket to get back.

Red Dead Redemption 2: How to Unlock Fast Travel

Red Dead Redemption 2 features one of the biggest maps that Rockstar Games has ever created, so getting around it requires a lot of useful features like fast travel.

Updated November 2nd, 2023, by Christopher Norman Worcester: Red Dead Redemption 2 is still an incredibly popular game, with a huge number of players still helping Arthur Morgan find his way through an ever-changing world. With this in mind, it is incredibly important to make sure that our coverage is kept up-to-date. This update brings a new video guide on fast-travel in RDR2, helping to offer players as much context as possible with this important topic.

With Red Dead Redemption 2 , Rockstar Games has crafted a sprawling open world with a ton of acreage to explore. But oftentimes exploring the world of Red Dead is an investment, with players traveling far and wide to get to objectives or to find items.

Luckily, Red Dead Redemption 2 has a few options for players that want to travel between locations quickly. Two of those options, trains and stage coaches are marked directly on the Red Dead map and require a little cash to activate. Players will head to a train station (the mail icons on the map) or a stagecoach area (the signpost icon) and then indicate where they want to travel.

However, there is another fast travel option that Red Dead Redemption 2 players might not be aware of since the game never fully explains it. At any of the base camps, players can use Morgan’s lodging to fast travel to locations they have visited before. Here’s how to unlock it.

Unlock Arthur's Lodging Upgrade

First, players will need to access the Ledger at the base camp. The ledger is where Arthur Morgan can designate funds towards upgrading sections of the camp like Medical Supplies or Provisions.

Within the Ledger there is a section for Lodgings whose first entry is an upgrade for Dutch’s Lodging called "First Things First." This upgrade will make it so members of the Dutch Van Der Linde gang contribute towards the camp’s funds in addition to Arthur’s contributions. It isn’t cheap, though, costing $220.

After purchasing the Dutch Lodging upgrade, players will unlock the ability to upgrade Arthur’s Lodging, which includes a fast travel map. Again, the upgrade is expensive (depending on how much questing and looting players have done) at $325, but it will be worth it.

The cost of the camp upgrades appears to change under certain circumstances. The upgrade to Dutch's tent has been seen at $170, with Arthur's upgrade coming in at $260. What causes this has not been confirmed, though it may have something to do with how much the player contributes to the camp

Now, all players need to do is go up to the map and they can fast travel to any of the major towns, landmarks, or locations that they have visited before. This is very useful because players are usually traveling back to camp regularly, either to pick up or turn in quests or to deliver goods to boost the supplies of the camp .

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PS4 and Xbox One.

Red Dead Redemption 2: Fast travel guide - How to unlock fast travel

How to get fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2’s map is a vast, complex beast and sometimes you won’t want to lug your horse halfway across the continent to start a mission. This is where having a method of fast travel comes in handy. While there’s no way of teleporting to discovered locations at any time from the map, there are several methods of transport that’ll certainly prove speedier than a horse.

Below we’ve put together a list of all the fast travel methods in Red Dead Redemption 2 and how to unlock them.

How to unlock fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2

Here’s how you can unlock fast travel:

• You won’t be able to unlock fast travel until you start Chapter 2 in the main story.
• The first step is to complete the mission “Money Lending and Other Sins”. Hand in your first debt, and you’ll be taught how the ledger can be used to upgrade your camp.
• When you’ve got a free moment and enough camp cash, open up the ledger and flick to the Lodgings section. Upgrade it once, and you’ll have to the option to upgrade Arthur’s tent. Do this and you’ll unlock fast travel.

To use fast travel, go round the back of Arthur’s tent and view the map that’s there. Select a location that you’ve visited before and you’ll magically appear there along with your main horse.

This video by TagBackTV is well worth a watch as it'll show you how to unlock fast travel in-game if you're still unsure.

Other methods of fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2

There are two other ways of getting around the map quicker than normal: Stagecoach and train.

Unlocking fast travel from your camp is not a prerequisite! You can use these modes of transport from the beginning of Chapter 2.

How to use a stagecoach

• There’s a signpost icon near all the major towns and cities in the game, and this is where you’ll find a stagecoach.
• As long as you’ve been to a certain location previously, you can pay a fare to use the stagecoach to visit that specific destination.
• If the signpost symbol is locked and greyed out, this means you’re unable to use the stagecoach until after you’ve dismounted from your horse or exited a mission state.

How to use a train

• At most larger towns and cities there is an envelope icon. Head on over to these locations and you’ll be able to catch a train.
• Using the train, you can travel to any destination on the list from the very beginning of Chapter 2. It’s also cheaper than the stagecoach too.

How to fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2

Tired of gallivanting on your horse all the time? Here's how to unlock and use fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2.

While it's fun to gallop through the countryside or run around a town, sometimes you just want to get somewhere fast. Getting to the various towns and regions in Red Dead Redemption 2 often means travelling across the massive map on horseback. However, there are ways to cut down on all that horsemanship and equine bonding.

There are two ways you can fast travel in RDR2 , but you can't just open up the map, choose a location and whisk yourself away at the drop of a hat. You'll either need to track down some public transport or work on those camp upgrades for the Van Der Linde gang, but to give you a helping hand, here's how to fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 .

There are two methods of fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2; you can use public transport such as stagecoaches and trains, or you can unlock the ability to fast travel from camp.

The former - travelling via public transport - is simple. All you need to do is make your way to the nearest ticket station, purchase a ticket to your chosen destination from the kiosk, and then off you go. This'll set you back a few dollars each time, but it definitely makes getting around the map a lot quicker.

You can also choose to fast travel from your camp , but you will need to upgrade your camp first. There are a few upgrades you can make, which you can read more about in our Red Dead Redemption 2 camp upgrade guide.

To specifically unlock fast travel, however, you'll need to do is head to the camp's money box and open up the ledger next to it. From there, upgrade Dutch's lodgings , which has the added benefit of inspiring other gang members to contribute more.

This will also unlock a map upgrade - this is how you fast travel. Buy that after upgrading Dutch's lodgings, and the map will appear in Arthur's area of the camp - its precise location is different depending on where your camp is located but it is usually close to Arthur's tent. Interact with the map and you'll then be able to choose from a list of destinations to travel to on your trusty steed.

It's $220 for Dutch's quarters and $325 for the map upgrade. The easiest way to get this sort of cash is to buy the upgrades after the gang's first big heist, or after finding a few gold bars.

What's better is that once you unlock the map upgrade at camp, you can then easily fast travel anywhere for free. You can access the map from Arthur's camp to venture out into the wilderness, but you can also access the fast travel map whenever Arthur sets up a temporary camp. Just rest, set up Arthur's camp, and select fast travel to pick a destination.

If you're trying to set up camp and keep receiving the 'Cannot create camp while there is activity nearby' error, even though you're out in the sticks and not a soul is near, don't worry. Instead, open Arthur's inventory and go to 'Items'. There'll be an option to setup camp here, and it should work without a hitch unless there really is some activity nearby.

So, if you're out hunting legendary animals and find yourself needing to pay a visit to Valentine or Saint Denis, set up a quick camp!

All You Need To Know About Fast Travel In Red Dead Redemption 2

Everything you need to know about fast travel in RDR2, from how expensive it is to where you'll end up in the game.

When Red Dead Redemption 2 finally touched down in October last year, it had been long-awaited ( and long-delayed ). If it didn’t live up to our sky-high expectations after all of that, Rockstar were going to have a riot on their hands.

Fortunately, all was well. It was a phenomenal sales success, one of the best-received games of the year by critics and players alike. Why? Largely because it’s a vast, ambitious title that sets new standards for open-world gameplay.

RELATED: 25 Hidden Details About RDR2 (That Most Fans Missed)

This is great and all, but it also means one thing: fast travel is going to be a necessity. Yes, you can unlock fast travel in the game, but how, where and when? Stick around, friend, and we’ll explain everything.

10 10. It’s A Lifesaver In This Huge World

In recent years, just about everyone’s been getting in on the whole open world thing. Titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Skyrim defined what it meant to offer players a huge, sandbox world to explore, and the bar’s been raised repeatedly since.

Horizon Zero Dawn , The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and others have advanced these concepts, but Red Dead Redemption 2 presents a world of dizzying scale. It’s set across five fictitious U.S. states (New Austin and West Elizabeth from the original game, plus the all-new Ambarino, Lemoyne and New Hanover), which combine to create a world map you do not want to be constantly charging back and forth across on your horse alone.

9 9. Wait A While To Unlock Fast Travel

So, yes. All titles with fast travel tend to handle it differently, but these tend to be variations on a familiar theme. Often, you can only instantly travel to locations you’ve visited before (think Fly in the Pokémon series ), and you have to unlock the ability to do so in some way.

Red Dead Redemption 2 ticks both of these boxes. It’ll be a little while before you’re able to fast travel, and the ability to do so is hidden away. It’s so obscure, in fact, that many players stumbled upon it purely by accident. Sometimes quite late in the game, to boot.

To get you off to the best start, we’re going to take a look at the earliest possible point you can unlock this vital function.

8 8. Complete The ‘Money Lending And Other Sins’ Mission

Money Lending And Other Sins is the ninth mission of chapter two. It becomes available a good way into the game, once you’ve unlocked the open world and gotten a good taste of just how much this game has to offer.

This particular mission sees you collecting valuables from those who owe your gang money. After completing it, you’ll earn the ability to upgrade your camp. These upgrades may sound a little unsubstantial, but they’re the key to unlocking fast travel. You could easily miss that, as there’s very little fanfare, but this is where the functionality is hidden.

7 7. Arthur’s Tent Is The Key

The first upgrade you’ll want to make is to your lodgings. They look a little less-than-wonderful at first, after all, so that’s probably something you were shooting for anyway.

After doing so once, you’ll be able to upgrade Arthur’s tent. What does this do? Well, mainly, it adds a handy-dandy map to the tent (or, more specifically, somewhere in the base near Arthur’s tent). Take a look at it, and you’ll be able to pick a destination from a handy list of places you’ve already visited. Simply pick somewhere, then, after the obligatory transitional scene, there you are. It’s that easy.

6 6. You Can Only Fast Travel Directly From Your Camp

That makes it sound super simple and convenient, didn’t it? You might think that, after unlocking the feature, you can effortlessly hop into a menu screen and warp from one fast travel destination to another as you please. Sadly, friends, the Wild West isn’t that kind.

RELATED: 10 Essential Tips To Survive Battle Mode In RDR2

While Rockstar felt the need to provide the player with a quick means of traversing this huge world, they also wanted to keep things a little authentic. As such, you can’t just go warping around willy-nilly like it’s Zelda or something. You must be stationed at that map in your camp every time you fast travel, as you can only do so from there.

5 5. Unlocking Fast Travel Is Pretty Darn Expensive

If you’re a Grand Theft Auto Online player (as much of the darn known universe has been over the years), you’ll know that, outlaw or not, you’ve got to work for your money. You can’t just boot the game up for the first time and rule the criminal underworld right from the start. It’s a rags to ill-gotten-riches story.

The same’s true of Red Dead Redemption 2 . Money’s pretty tight for Arthur and his gang, especially early on. You might be itching to unlock fast travel as soon as possible, but it doesn’t come cheap.

As VG247 reports, the upgrade to the lodgings costs $220, and the all-important map is another $325. This is a substantial amount whichever way you slice it, and it’s advised that you earmark some of the earnings from that first big heist for this purpose. It’ll pay dividends in the long run.

4 4. Fast Travel Is A One-Way Trip

As I say, Rockstar have implemented a fast travel system that makes things much more convenient for the player, but also tries to keep things as in-universe and immersive as possible. What does this mean? It means that there are some real limitations to it, that’s what it means.

Cost aside, here’s another: while you can quickly travel from your base to your destination of choice, you can’t fast-travel from said destination back to your base. You’ll be making your own way back to the camp whatever happens, so you’d better be sure that you’ve planned out your journey.

It’s not easy being a Wild West outlaw, as Clint Eastwood will tell you.

3 3. You Cannot Leave Your Horse Behind

If dogs are man’s best friend (and the billions of videos of them on social media would suggest so), what about horses? Let’s stop for a moment here and consider where the Wild West would be without them. What the Lone Ranger’s catchphrase would’ve been, if he couldn’t Hi-ho on Silver? It just doesn’t bear thinking about.

RELATED: Ranked: The 10 Best Horses In Red Dead Redemption 2

As a Western-themed title, you’d better believe that Red Dead Redemption 2 takes its horses super-seriously. So much so that you can’t fast-travel at all if your faithful steed isn’t in the vicinity. You arrive at the destination you choose riding said horse, you see, which means that they have to be there and ready for the journey too.

2 2. You Have To Know Exactly Where You’re Fast Travelling To

In a lot of similar games, you’ll be able to choose precisely where you’re warping to. You’ll see a convenient map of the game world, with all possible locations highlighted. Well, friends, nobody’s holding your hand out here in the Wild West.

Yes, you can pick where you want to fast travel to from a list of locations you’ve previously visited. What you can’t do is see where these locations are on the map, which means you need a good idea of where these places are in relation to each other. This is a wide, wide world with a lot of space in between landmarks, after all.

1 1. Stagecoaches And Trains: Not As Fast, But Still… Fast

In short, fast travel is super convenient in Red Dead Redemption 2 , but it could’ve been far more user-friendly. It’s expensive to unlock, it’s unwieldy, and you may not even have known it was there in the first place.

Still, it’s better than not having it, that’s for sure, and it’ll still save you a lot of frustration. Nevertheless, you’ll be glad to know that there’s another method of traversing the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 quicker than a horse: trains and stagecoaches.

All you do is head to a nearby ticket station, pay the fare for your chosen destination and off you go. It’s limited, sure, but a much cheaper alternative (upgrades-wise).

Red Dead Redemption 2 Fast Travel Guide: How to Unlock Fast Travel & Use It

How to Unlock & Use Fast Travel in Red Dead Redemption 2

The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is huge, and the various different missions you’ll embark on with your gang, or side activities you can do to fill your spare time will see you traveling all over. While your horse is a great means of getting around quickly, sometimes it can still take up precious time getting from one side of the map to the other. As such, the ability to fast travel is something you’re going to want to make the most of whenever you can. Here’s how to unlock fast travel, how to use fast travel, and all the different ways you can get about a little bit quicker in Red Dead Redemption 2 .

How to Unlock Fast Travel

The first thing you’ll need to do is unlock fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2. Unlike some games, you cannot simply select somewhere on your map, press a button, and be transported there with some divine powers.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is all about giving a realistic feel to its fast travel system. You can use Stagecoaches to move between towns and locales quickly. However, it’s worth noting that before you can get a Stagecoach to somewhere else, you’ll need to have visited it already.

As such, you may find that the Stagecoach system is locked for the opening few hours in the game, while you find your feet and start exploring the different towns.

This isn’t the only method you can use to fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2. There are other options that you can unlock or use as your progress through the game, and we’ve detailed all of those below. During your opening few hours with the game, though, the Stagecoach system is likely going to be your best bet.

How to Use Stagecoach Fast Travel

Stagecoaches can often be found just outside of the train stations in Red Dead Redemption 2. We’ve included an image below of the sign you’ll want to look out for, as well as what the one in Valentine looks like. The Valentine stagecoach station is right outside the train station and post office, which can be found towards the south of the town.

When you see this sign, you’ll then went to press and hold Triangle to use the ‘Take a Ride’ option. You can then see the different towns you’ve previously visited, as well as how much it’ll set you back to travel there by stagecoach.

Once you’ve selected where you want to fast travel to in Red Dead Redemption 2, you’ll then be given a lovely little view of the blue skies of the wild west, as the game loads you into your desired location. Arthur will then hop off the Stagecoach, and you’ll have successfully used one element of the fast travel system in Red Dead Redemption 2.

There are other ways to get around quickly, however, so we’ll continue to list these below.

How to Fast Travel on the Train in Red Dead Redemption 2

While the Stagecoach system requires you to have visited a location already for you to be able to fast travel there, you can use trains to get to the main places in Red Dead Redemption 2 quickly and in style. You can’t just hop on a train though… well, not if you want to remain a lawful citizen and keep your bounty low. You’ll need to buy a ticket in order to fast travel using the trains. To do this, you’re going to need to head to the Post Office. This is often located right by the train station in a town, and is marked with an envelope icon on your map.

Head inside, and use L2 to interact with the NPC behind the bars. You can then choose to buy a train ticket, and you’ll be provided a list of the different locations and how much they cost. Select one, and you’ll be given a lovely view of the train cruising across the countryside, taking you to your desired destination. This is the best way to fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 during the early stages of the game if you’ve yet to visit locations and need to for a mission.

Plus, when we used the train to fast travel, we found our horse was hitched at the nearby hitching post at our destination, so that’s a winner, too!

Even outside of the train and stagecoach methods of fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2, you have other options.

Fast Travel Upgrade for Your Camp

You can purchase an upgrade for Arthur’s lodgings at camp to unlock fast travel. However, it’s worth noting that this also requires you to purchase the Dutch upgrade first, which comes in at a hefty $220. Make sure your camp can afford this hefty expenditure before splashing your cash on it.

Once you’ve purchased the upgrades for both Dutch and Arthur’s lodgings, you’ll then see a little map near Arthur’s bed which enables him to fast travel to any major location free of charge. This is essentially the best way to fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2, though it will cost you a fair amount, meaning you likely won’t unlock it until later on in your adventure.

And there you have absolutely everything there is to know about fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2. Still got some questions? Don’t be shy, sound off in the comments below and we’ll do our best to get back to you.

Fast Travel

• View history

Fast Travel is a mode of travel in Red Dead Redemption , Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online that allows players to traverse long distances across the map quickly. There are three main ways to fast travel, most of which cost money.

• 1 Red Dead Redemption
• 2.2 Stagecoach
• 2.5 Missions
• 3 Red Dead Online
• 4 Cinematic Mode
• 5 Known Bugs
• 6 External links

Red Dead Redemption [ ]

In Red Dead , the player can fast travel by the means of a Stagecoach Taxi located in almost every settlement. For a price, they can be driven to any of the following locations and have the option to skip to destination.

Destinations are limited to the following:

• Benedict Point
• Las Hermanas
• MacFarlane's Ranch
• Rathskeller Fork
• Ridgewood Farm

Red Dead Redemption 2 [ ]

Arthur's Fast Travel map

Players have the option to upgrade Arthur Morgan 's camp lodgings, for a price, after the mission " Money Lending and Other Sins I ." The gang will do little to help in this regard, so the task falls to players. Upgrade options can be found next to Dutch van der Linde 's tent wherever the caravan ends up.

Players must pay the first $220 upgrade fee before the next tier evens shows up. It is this next tier, at $325, that unlocks the fast travel map, so players will need $545 total. Once purchased, Arthur's fast travel map appears outside his wagon or inside his room at Shady Belle during Chapter 4 . After completing the first part of the Epilogue, the Fast Travel map will become available free of charge (i.e. no upgrades are needed).

Alternatively to using the map, the player can fast travel using their camps. Upon setting up camp, the player is able to fast travel to the same places they could when using the map.

Note that destinations the player can travel to are entirely dependent upon where they have already been. Due to this, and that it is difficult to raise that amount of money in the early game, players may want to wait until they have traveled to more areas.

• Armadillo (after Epilogue 1)
• Beecher's Hope (after Epilogue 1)

• Wapiti Indian Reservation
• The gang camp's locations from Chapter 2 to 6 ( Horseshoe Overlook , Clemens Point , Shady Belle , Lakay , and Beaver Hollow ; only available as long as the gang resides within those grounds )

On the side note, using Camp Fast Travel more than once per in-game day empties the player's horse's stamina core.

Stagecoach [ ]

Stagecoach option

Like Red Dead Redemption , Stagecoaches are another fast travel option, and they can be found in most towns. Unlike using the fast travel map, using a stagecoach requires money. Not only that, but players need to be aware of what their level of honor is for that particular town. If their honor is too low, the stagecoach will be locked.

Like the fast travel map, the player will only be able to travel to destinations he has already visited. Stagecoaches, however, cannot take players back to their camp.

• Emerald Station

If the player wishes, they may also be able to fast travel via purchasing a train ticket at a train station. Tickets for the train, which only runs between select locations, can be purchased at the Post Office. Locations include:

• Riggs Station
• Wallace Station

Although traveling by train is noticeably cheaper than using stagecoaches, the reachable destinations are limited within three territories ( West Elizabeth , New Hanover , and Lemoyne ).

If the player is at the countryside of a state and wishes to go to its main town, another alternative of Fast Traveling is to vandal, or kill someone and, after arrival of lawmen, just surrender and they will take the player into the town. However, it will cost the player honor, money, and days in prison.

Missions [ ]

The last alternative option for fast travel comes at the end of some missions. This only requires completion of the mission and accepting the option to travel. Players can, of course, refuse the option if they have other matters to attend to, but this will prevent them from fast traveling back to their camp.

Red Dead Online [ ]

In Red Dead Online , the player can upgrade their camp with an Fast Travel post for $700.00 upon reaching Rank 65.

There are 15 fast travel locations on the map. The cost differs depending on the distance from the current destination.

Cinematic Mode [ ]

Cinematic Mode can be used as a form of "auto run" to reach destinations. To do this, the player must place a waypoint on the map, mount their horse, get up to speed on a road, and hold the touchpad/view button to engage Cinematic Mode. The player's horse will automatically navigate to the waypoint. While not "fast travel" properly said, it does allow the player to put down the controller for a few moments. However, hostiles like rival gangs , bounty hunters and predators will still attack, and sometimes the horse's A.I. fails to deal with traffic on the road as well. Any unique random encounter found by the road may also be lost if the player does not pay attention to them.

Known Bugs [ ]

• As corpses aren't allowed inside the Van der Linde camp , if the player Fast Travels to it with a dead NPC on horseback, the game will instantly bug as soon as it starts the scene of the player entering its grounds.

Fast Travel In Red Dead Online

Red Dead Redemption 2, in spite of having a massive game world and relatively slow forms of transportation – horses – doesn’t exactly spoil players with convenient fast travel. The situation is different in Red Dead Online though, as it features a different system. In Red Dead Online it’s much easier to “fast travel” and significantly more useful in terms of actually moving between points of interest.

As described in our guide , fast travel in Red Dead Redemption 2 is highly limited. It is only unlocked once you buy several upgrades for your camp. It only works one-way, and only from your camp. You can’t fast travel between Valentine and Strawberry, for example. You also can’t fast travel back to camp either. It’s barely useful as a fast travel system at all.

As fun factor likely overtakes adherence to realism on the priority list in Red Dead Online, the system has been overhauled. Taking pointers from some other open-world games, such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Red Dead Online uses a fast travel post based system. Scattered throughout the game world are so-called fast travel posts, which allow you to instantly move to another such post.

Indicated by a small sign-post symbol on your map , which only appears if you are in close proximity, these fast travel posts are little wooden scaffolds with a ram skull on top and a broken wheel at the base in order to help you identify them. Using fast travel will cost you money, and the price is calculated based on how far away your destination is.

You can only travel in between posts, not anywhere on the map from such a post. While this is much more accommodating than the solution in single player, it’s still fairly restrictive when compared to other games. Some, for example, allow you to instantly travel from any point to any other point on the map, while others let you fast travel freely between all points of interest. The system used by Red Dead Online is an ideal compromise between convenience and realism.

There are a total of 16 fast travel posts in the game world. 15 are located at points of interest, while the 16th is located at your camp, the location of which is variable. The camp fast travel post is only unlocked when you reach Rank 65. Check out our Ranking Guide to learn how to reach it quickly.

The 15 fast travel posts are as follows:

• MacFarlane’s Ranch
• Manzanita Post
• Saint Denis
• Emerald Station

You’ll notice that every location has railway access, or is close to a railway. The actual posts themselves are also physically close to railway stations or tracks. This little detail is an attempt by Rockstar to maintain immersion and realism, implying that the characters catch a train to whichever location they choose to fast travel to.

It also isn’t generally allowed to take your horse with you on trains – at least, we suspect this is the explanation for one of the drawbacks of using fast travel. If your horse is carrying any pelts or carcasses when you use fast travel, they will disappear.

Russia establishes special site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600

!{Model.Description}

A special production site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600 fast reactor under construction has been established at Russia’s Mashinostroitelny Zavod (MSZ - Machine-Building Plant) in Elektrostal (Moscow region), part of Rosatom’s TVEL Fuel Company. 

As part of the project, MSZ had upgraded existing facilities fo the production of fuel for fast reactors, TVEL said on 3 March. Unique equipment has been created and installed, and dummy CFR-600 fuel assemblies have already been manufactured for testing.

The new production site was set up to service an export contract between TVEL and the Chinese company CNLY (part of China National Nuclear Corporation - CNNC) for the supply of uranium fuel for CFR-600 reactors. Construction of the first CFR-600 unit started in Xiapu County, in China's Fujian province in late 2017 followed by the second unit in December 2020. The contract is for the start-up fuel load, as well as refuelling for the first seven years. The start of deliveries is scheduled for 2023.

“The Russian nuclear industry has a unique 40 years of experience in operating fast reactors, as well as in the production of fuel for such facilities,” said TVEL President Natalya Nikipelova. “The Fuel Division of Rosatom is fulfilling its obligations within the framework of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the development of fast reactor technologies. These are unique projects when foreign design fuel is produced in Russia. Since 2010, the first Chinese fast neutron reactor CEFR has been operating on fuel manufactured at the Machine-Building Plant, and for the supply of CFR-600 fuel, a team of specialists from MSZ and TVEL has successfully completed a complex high-tech project to modernise production,” she explained.

A special feature of the new section is its versatility: this equipment will be used to produce fuel intended for both the Chinese CFR-600 and CEFR reactors and the Russian BN-600 reactor of the Beloyarsk NPP. In the near future, the production of standard products for the BN-600 will begin.

The contract for the supply of fuel for the CFR-600 was signed in December 2018 as part of a governmental agreement between Russia and China on cooperation in the construction and operation of a demonstration fast neutron reactor in China. This is part of a wider comprehensive programme of cooperation in the nuclear energy sector over the coming decades. This includes serial construction of the latest Russian NPP power units with generation 3+ VVER-1200 reactors at two sites in China (Tianwan and Xudabao NPPs). A package of intergovernmental documents and framework contracts for these projects was signed in 2018 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
