The red and white bar on the status screen

red-dead-redemption-2

I've been playing RDR2 on PS4 for about a week now. When I hit the down directional button, to toggle the radar size, it also shows various health and stamina meters. At the very bottom of the screen there is a horizontal bar with a cowboy hat in the middle.

What is this called, and what does it do/show? Right now mine is red on the left and white to the right. I'd like to research this but nothing came up on Google the other day.

Best Answer

This is the Honor Bar. Here is a good webpage that explains it:

From the link:

In Red Dead Redemption 2 you can increase your honor level to unlock new clothing and get access to the missable honor mission...

To keep track of your honor press [d-pad down] and check the bar [at] the bottom of the screen. If the bar is on the left (red) it means dishonorable. To the right (white is honorable).
