Unlike in the previous game, the player is granted the ability to swim.
Combat has been refined from the game’s predecessor, and notable new mechanics consist of dual-wielding and the ability to use a bow. The player may engage in combat with enemies using melee attacks, firearms, or explosives. Outside of missions, the player may freely roam its interactive world. The player controls outlaw Arthur Morgan, member of the Van Der Linde gang, as he completes numerous missions-linear scenarios with set objectives-in order to progress through the story.
