📋 About This Mod
Does exactly as it says. Save file for any of you that want to skip chapter 1 and start playing immediately in chapter 2. Lowest possible completion, haven't done anything besides main intro. Basically a fresh game.
(As a bonus Micah's revolver is also unlocked for the player from the O'Driscoll camp cheese. You're welcome.)
To install, navigate to your rdr2 save files which are found at C:\Users\<name>\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\<Your user ID>
Place the downloaded file into this folder with the rest of your saves(saves are titled "SRDR........")
If you need you can change the file name so it doesn't replace any existing saves. Just change the last 0 to a different number that isn't taken.
Once in game just load the save like any other save.
