Description[]
Standard, persistent HUD items:
- Mini-map (circular map that is a staple in many Rockstar games, such as Grand Theft Auto IV);
- The mini-map includes icons representing locations, encounters, and friendly/enemy players/NPCs;
- Horse's stamina (Red Dead Redemption only, shown as blue bar to left of mini-map);
- Dead Eye Targeting meter (shown as red bar to right of Mini-map)
- Health indicator;
- In Red Dead Revolver, this is portrayed as a bar;
- In Red Dead Redemption, this is portrayed as a whole-screen effect (red tint);
- Current Weapon and Ammo Counter;
- Location name;
- Objective and Warnings.
Some HUD items only appear when chosen or in specific situations:
- Weapon Wheel (selected by player to change weapons);
- Fame (brief message after earning fame);
- Honor (brief message after gaining/losing honor);
- Money and loot (brief message after opening a chest, looting a corpse, skinning an animal, or otherwise gaining money/items);
- Time;
- Wanted level - appears when the player has a bounty and is being pursued.
Redemption Multiplayer HUD items:
- Player name/rank icon/title (appears over players' heads);
- Player place/score (in competitive game modes);
- If the player is currently winning, the display includes the player's place (1st) and score and the next highest player's place and score for comparison;
- If the player is not winning, the display includes the player's place and score and the winning player's place and score for comparison;
- Goal statistics (e.g. bags captured);
- Player list (selectable in Free Roam and competitive game modes to see all friendly/enemy players, posse affiliations, and statistics).
Notes[]
- Holding LB on Xbox 360 or L1 on PlayStation 3 will open a radial menu with all the player's weapons in it. Using the right thumbstick, the player can choose their weapon.
- The HUD can be disabled via the OPTIONS menu.
- In Undead Nightmare, the minimap is re-colored with a dark green and black color scheme. This makes the minimap more difficult to use in Nuevo Paraíso, as the black overlay makes the map unreadable in certain areas.
