Methods for Skipping Time in Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 Best Camp Upgrades To Get First

There are two different ways for skipping time in Red Dead Redemption 2, which are as follows:

1. Go to Sleep at the Base Camp

The easiest way to skip time involves sleeping at the base camp. Visit the base camp (tent icon on the minimap) at any time and interact with the bed to go to sleep. When you go to sleep, you can sleep until morning, noon, or night, so you are not restricted in any way.

You can also rent a room in a hotel to go to sleep and skip time.

2. Go to Sleep at a Campfire

If you cannot visit the base camp, there is another way to skip time. The second method for skipping time involves setting up a campfire via the Items menu. Select the Campfire option from the menu, after which Arthur will lay out the camp. Now, you can sleep at the campfire; like before, you can sleep until morning, noon, or night.
