Courtesy of u/phantomsignal “… if no one’s mentioned this you can sell Legendary Buck Antlers for a trinket that improves the quality of pelt of animals you skin.Running into someone and pressing triangle will tackle them to the ground.Holding triangle whilst on your horse will hitch up anywhere, even into the ground or a tree.You can just whistle your horse and it will follow behind you Crouching whilst crawling up a steep incline may help with grip and stop Arthur from falling over.Pressing down whilst in first person will enable iron sights.
Lassoing large animals lets you keep them in place and get in close for a (albeit pretty brutal) knife kill without damaging the animal.You can lasso witnesses without losing honour/being caught.The lasso is great and can be used for a multitude of things.Using the ledger in camp, after Dutch’s tent has been upgraded (might be worth doing this early since more people begin to contribute), Arthur’s tent can be upgraded to enable fast travel ($260).
Toggle to run in the settings lets you just tap x/A once to keep running (still have to tap to sprint) *If you keep x/A held whilst going into the cinematic camera view, you don’t need to hold run anymore, and with a waypoint active, your horse will follow the route. Waypoints can be enabled from the settings, I’m pretty sure they’re disabled by default? Which is odd (Display settings). If you press x/A in time with your horse’s gallops, you won’t use as much stamina, this apparently also works when Arthur is on foot. Likewise, pressing down quickly brings up information on the screen if the map is off etc. Holding down lets you have quick-access to radar options (expanded, normal, compass, off). Tapping left on the d-pad brings up a task list of requests, hunting challenges etc. Pressing up with a gun in your hand allows you to shoot into the air to scare predators away. Holding R2/RT lightly allows you to draw into deadeye. Double tapping L1/LB lets you do a cool trick when you put away your gun. Holding circle/B in a menu/shop catalogue lets you exit straight away. Holding start brings up the map straight away. This list was compiled by a lovely Reddit user of the name u/Cloud_Motion and some other reddit users! Hats off to them.
