Can you fast travel in Undead Nightmare?

Published in Undead Nightmare Features 2 mins read

No, fast travel is not available in the Undead Nightmare campaign.

Unlike the original Red Dead Redemption single-player campaign, where players could utilize various methods to quickly navigate the vast open world, the Undead Nightmare standalone expansion does not include a fast travel system. This design choice contributes significantly to the unique survival horror atmosphere of the game, forcing players to brave the zombie-infested landscape on horseback or by foot to reach their destinations.

In the original Red Dead Redemption campaign, players had several options for quick travel, including:

  • Campsite Fast Travel: Setting a waypoint on the map and then sleeping at a campsite to instantly travel to that designated location.
  • Stagecoaches: Using stagecoaches as a quick method to travel between different towns or established waypoints.

However, the specific mechanics for rapid transportation were intentionally distinct and limited for the Undead Nightmare experience, emphasizing the challenging nature of surviving a zombie apocalypse.

Travel Options Comparison

To clarify the differences in travel availability between the two campaigns:

Feature Original Red Dead Redemption Campaign Undead Nightmare Campaign
Fast Travel (Campsites/Waypoints) Available Not Available
Stagecoaches (as quick travel) Available Not Applicable / Limited

This absence of conventional fast travel in Undead Nightmare means players must carefully plan their routes and manage resources as they traverse the world, making every journey a perilous undertaking.
