The effects of gaining weight in Red Dead Redemption 2 aren't just cosmetic - it's important to find the right gameplay balance.
It's one of the most realistic games on the market — excluding the newly discovered vomit roping — so it only makes sense that Red Dead Redemption 2 players can gain weight based on their diet. Being overweight in such a hostile environment does have its downsides, but the freedom to choose Arthur's size is another fun mechanic that makes you tip your hat to Rockstar.
The effects of gaining weight in Red Dead Redemption 2 aren't just cosmetic. If you opt for an Arthur that is on the heavier side of the scale, you'll see a significant reduction in your stamina. This means that rigorous activities will require him to stop more frequently than usual. However, he can actually take more damage than his underweight counterpart.
A malnourished, skinny Arthur will see an increase in his stamina but a decrease in how much damage he can withstand. If Arthur's weight is 'just right,' he will split the difference between these two builds — that is, he will have a moderate amount of both stamina and health.
If you've decided to bulk up Arthur, there's a bit of a long slog ahead of you. Just like in the real-world, massive weight gains don't happen overnight. Instead of just eating meals to restore your cores, you'll want to indulge in as much food as possible. This means multiple meals a day for many days in a row.
Arthur's on a strict overeating routine — if you miss a couple of meals, or forget to eat loads of food for a couple of days, he's just not going to bulk up.
Once Arthur is super-sized, he can start losing weight by restricting his caloric intake. This means he should only eat to restore his cores. The best way to do this is by only eating the stew that is made at camp and avoiding everything else. This should be enough to keep his cores filled while also sloughing off the pounds.
If you want to take the easy way out, just get sent to jail. By the time your sentence is up you'll be ridiculously underweight, all thanks to those awful jailhouse meals.
Maintaining a weight that rests between 'bulky' and 'scrawny' is simple — just eat a few meals a day. Like reality, eating a few meals a day and cutting out the excess is the best way to manage Arthur's size. This size arguably gives the best gameplay stats, too, as you'll be able to take advantage of decent damage resistance and a sizable stamina pool.
Determining Arthur's weight in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a choice that players shouldn't take lightly. Not only is it a significant commitment to gain or lose weight, but it also comes with a direct impact on gameplay. Feel free to try running around as all three body types before you make a final decision. If you don't like one, just change his diet and try out the next.

What aspect ration do you have set on your monitor? 16 X 9 or 16 X10 ? Are you are running the game on a uncommon resolution such as 1010 X 900 or some other weird setting? That sounds like you have a WIDE horizontal setting and a very short Vertical setting. The recommended resolution is 1920 X 1080.

Even when he's considered overweight he doesn't look anywhere close to "fat".

Managed to fix it, I just had to throw myself off of a cliff.

Boards Red Dead Redemption 2 does anyone actually have a fat Arthur?
How much food did you have to force him to eat? I tried to keep him average weight but I gave up and just started eating to restore my cores when they got low like 90% of you probably do.

mrolympia78 posted... How much food did you have to force him to eat? I tried to keep him average weight but I gave up and just started eating to restore my cores when they got low like 90% of you probably do. I've never attempted a fat Arthur, so I don't know what it takes to get him there. I know that as of recent patches, some hotfixes have been generated to fix weight irregularities, so it matters which patch you're playing on. I know, when I am playing as John I'll probably be keeping him overweight as much as I can, so that he'll actually look normal, as opposed to his already super thin build.
It is not about the destination, but the journey.
It doesn't take much big game meat anymore to get him fat, if your game is patched you're more likely to go over than under now with regular eating.
I'm playing unpatchef and it was a chore getting to red zone overweight. Eat big game meat and candy all day long and never skip a meal. Eat the stew in camp and $5 meals in town. Like hair tonics, you consume a lot before missions, stage coach/train rides, and sleeping. Takes a long time to go from underweight to overweight. Checking his + - stats under 'weight' shows if you're making any progress. If below perfect weight, stamina drain is white and damage absorption red. Above perfect weight, stamina red and damage absorption white. Also it goes: Red zone underweight Underweight Average Perfect Average Overweight Red zone overweight
I got him to max overweight once. Lots of chocolate bars and candies and just about every other food at a very consistent rate. He was over weight during the first Mary quest in St Denis and she commented on him looking healthy or well fed or something to that nature. He was very much visibly chunky. Honestly, I like my Arthur at a middle to skinny weight so I've never gotten him that overweight since. Edit: This was a few months ago, so not sure if the eating rate is the same after any recent patches as to what I experienced.
Sometimes just for s***s and giggles I'll get arthur and his horse fat just to see that wide load trotting down the trails. Some of the horse breeds get enormously fat asses when they become overweight.
I have him as overweight. Trying for that red one tho lol
What goes here....?? Oh yea!!! Oh Wait....now I forgot.......

↑ Mentioned in a conversation with Hamish Sinclair .

↑ Dialogue with Sister Calderón during " The Fine Art of Conversation "

↑ Photos on Arthur's wagon

↑ Arthur states that he has been in the gang for "twenty years, something like that" when asked by Charles, which would put the date he was found by Dutch and Hosea at 1879 at the latest. Hosea later states that Arthur was "about" 13 when they found him, adding "maybe a little older". Arthur's official bio states he was 14 when he met them. In 1877, he would have been 13 or 14, depending on the time of year.
